Unable to connect to server with Local Clients

[RandomGuyBert124]

I believe that is the general vpn I use to connect to the internet. When I checked with ifconfig in my terminal it said it was utun420 and I believe that is setup by the VPN I use. I have tried disconnecting from it to connect to the server to see if that was causing the issue but I am still unable to connect when I do that.

Try configuring Jellyfin to bind to your LAN address.

I just configured it to bind to my LAN address and restarted the server. I am still unable to connect with other devices on my network.

I just read the most recent errors in my log file and it's showing this:

I looked into it and it says it has to do with the DLNA plugin. Could that being configured wrong be what's causing me to be unable to connect?

[TheDreadPirate]

DLNA only matters if you are using DLNA clients. From your opening post, it sounds like you are NOT.

You'd have to open port 1900 UDP in UFW for DLNA to work. And UDP port 7359 for service discovery.

But neither of those are necessary if you are manually entering the address and port into actual jellyfin clients.

Can you tell me what power line ethernet adapter you are using? I want find the documentation to rule out any weirdness with that.

[RandomGuyBert124]

I am using the Netgear Powerline Adapter 2000 w/ Wall Plug:

[RandomGuyBert124]

I do have the DLNA plug in installed, could that be causing an issue? Should I uninstall it?

[TheDreadPirate]

If you don't use DLNA, uninstall it. It isn't necessary for actual Jellyfin clients.

You're able to connect to the Internet from your Jellyfin server, correct? What is the output of this command?

Code:

netplan status
nslookup google.com
ping -c 1 google.com

Sensor any public IPv6 addresses, if there are any. "fe80" IPv6 addresses are local only and not sensitive.

[RandomGuyBert124]

Yes I am able to connect to the internet from my jellyfin server. Which are the public ipv6 addresses? Are they any addresses that have anything other than fe80 between 26xx and the next number?

[TheDreadPirate]

fe80 is local link, equivalent to 192.168 for IPv4. Anything else is a public address. 2600 and 2601 are common for the first octet for US ISPs. You only need to censor the octets after 2600 or 2601 since the first octet is not enough to narrow down your address.
