Hi everybody, I'm running Jellyfin server on macOS (native on old Mac-mini). Everything works fine when using the Jellyfin client on either my TV or iPad, but I can't seem to get the DLNA server working.
I've been using Jellyfin (happily) for over a year, but only for video. Recently I bought a AV-receiver that can also connect to DLNA servers for audio playback. So I figured I'd enable the DLNA server and share my audiofiles from Jellyfin. Unfortunately I can't get it working.
All necessary ports seem to be open (this is from terminal output);
UDP *:7359
UDP *:ssdp (which is port 1900)
UDP *:52394
TCP *:8096 (LISTEN)
TCP 8096->37274 (ESTABLISHED)
I tried other DLNA servers (Kodi on my mac-mini, Windows Media Streaming on my pc) and they immediately show up as a source on either my TV, AV-receiver, or VLC. So I'm pretty sure my network is fine. I also tried to install Jellyfin on my macbook to make sure it wasn't just my mac-mini that had an issue, but I also couldn't get the DLNA server running on the macbook.
Am I missing something here? Am I doing anything wrong? Are there known issues with the macOS version of Jellyfin/Emby DLNA server?
I would really appreciate it if anyone could help me with this.
Cheers!
