SOLVED: Server help.

Holy Crap, I stumbled into the solution!

All I had to do, once I setup the static IPs on both the PC running LibreELEC, and the Homatics CoreELEC, was simply add the IP address in the JSON file in the CoreELEC add-on folder in the Jellyfin folder. It had the original IP of the wifi connection when I first installed it. It seems to only connect to that first IP it logged. Once I changed it, bam it works.

Glad to hear it. Regarding network.xml, if you manually edited this file you did not close one of the tags.

Code:

<LocalNetworkSubnets>169.254.128.201/16

Should be

Code:

<LocalNetworkSubnets>169.254.128.201/16</LocalNetworkSubnets>

Thanks. It is working really good. I moved over from a different PC running Windows, so there is a bit of a learning curve for me.

The fix I mentioned about changing the ip in the JF add-on JSON file, might not have been what solved my connection problem. It may have been a problem with too many Ethernet connections on the Libreelec server. Somehow having three LAN (wired) connections caused an issue and the CoreELEC Homatics box refuses to connect. Two connections are working now but if I add a third, JF won't connect. It really isn't going to be much of an issue, now that I know what the problem is. I can simply disable the problem connections in the Libreelec connections settings and I know it will work. If I am moving files to the server, I just turn on the connections I need, and it only takes a second to connect. I think Wifi connections also messes things up too, so I just turn them on/off when needed.

I will change that line of code and see if it changes anything. I really appreciate the help you give to me and the entire community here!

Is there a way to get internet working over WiFi, if there is a wired lan connected simultaneously? I realize that this isn't a normal setup, but I am limited because the router and modem are very far from the server. Otherwise, I have to manually switch between the wifi and the wired connection depending if I want to connect to the Jellyfin client over lan or if I need internet on the server.

AFAIK, the server should figure out which interface to use for Internet connectivity when there are two active interfaces.

I have the wifi working correctly now using the information provided here. The default internet is lan even if it doesn't have an internet connection and wifi does, and both are enabled. You have to make wifi the default. I used SSH to change the behavior.
