Running Android TV Jellyfin Locally

[Dzvon2]

I am looking to contribute to the Android TV version of Jellyfin, but I can't see to sign into a local server on the emulator in android studio. I do a lot of work on the web version, and I have have a docker instance I spin up that is just hosted on my localhost on port 8096. I have that same docker instance running, and when I go to my emulator and try and connect to that server it says it can't connect. What am I missing to get up and running? Thank you.

You cannot use localhost from within the emulator. Your local op address will most likely work though (something like 192.168.1.10).
If using SSL you should verify the date and time of the emulator is correct.

Just using my ip address worked thank you. I thought localhost is just an alias for your local ip address but I guess I was wrong

The Android emulator runs in a virtual machine and doesn't share the network with the host machine, so it has a different IP address. That's why using your local address works but localhost does not.
