SOLVED: Jellyfin and Mopidy no Connection

[mcarlton00]

I use mopidy on my workstation daily.  For example, when I launch it I get a output about what plugins are installed and if any of them encounter an error.  In this you can see that I have a config for 'muse' but it's not installed, and further down you can see that i have JellyfinBackend enabled.

Code:

It doesn't really output anything more than that on it's own unless there are errors.

For example, if I purposely input an invalid hostname entry, I get output like this

As you're running this on a Pi, I suspect you're running it under a systemd service.  In this case, you should be able to check on it with systemctl status mopidy and journalctl -u mopidy

This is my current config that's been working for the last ~2 years or so.

Code:

[jellyfin]
hostname = https://streaming.nerdyredneck.net
username = Matt
password = mysupersecretpassword
libraries = Music
album_format = {ProductionYear} - {Name}
