remote phone connect

[metropical]

JF server is running fine on '18 mini Monterey.
Pixel 5 aOS 14 can't connect via JellyFin app.
Fine with Emby Android and/or browser, either local or remote.
JellyFin android app can't find server.
Obviously I have wrong info in Dashboard/Networking other than just allow remote connect.
What do I need to add/change to allow local & remote phone access?

Make sure you opened port 8096 in the host firewall. Also, are you using a reverse proxy?

Can you share your jellyfin logs with us via https://sourceb.in/

[metropical]

hmmm, I would like to, but I can't figure how to copy/post to https://sourceb.in/
reverse proxy - don't think so.
8096 is open.

Your logs should be in ~/.local/share/jellyfin/. Just copy the text and paste in sourcebin and click save at the bottom of the page. The URL in the address bar will change to a unique address. Provide us that link.

the only log there is Karabiner.
Within the JF app I find - dashboard/logs/emby.
the emby log is 15K lines

Emby and Jellyfin run on the same port (Jellyfin is forked from Emby). Did you actually succeed in starting Jellyfin? You can't run both at the same time without changing what port one of them runs on.

[metropical]

heh, heh, heh. could be an issue.
I was running both servers on the same port, but only using JF locally.
I was trying to run JF remote from phone just to see.
so I need add a pf for JF to make this work, correct?
Can it be any number or only within a range?
Any other changes within either the desktop app or Android app?

[TheDreadPirate]

You can't just add a port forwarding rule on a different port. Jellyfin itself needs to run on a different port from Emby. Or Emby needs to be changed, whichever you want to do.

If you do change the port, you would need to tell the client which port to connect to. http://X.X.X.X:8097 or whatever port you end up using.

[metropical]

did that, but the JF client asks for other info before it will let me save.
HTTPS even though the box isn't checked or used.
I checked - Allow remote connections to this server and IPv4.

So you have jellyfin running locally, at least? Can you share the logs now?
