Using the android client app and I tried to connect to my new server (first time setup). When I tap "Choose server" I can see the server name and local IP (192.168.0.5). When I tap on it, it won't connect. What am I probably doing wrong?
Edit: the app uses a default address, although it identifies the name of the server I set up. I checked the WiFi settings on the machine and the server is 192.168.1.60. I used this and it worked immediately.
Thanks for the help! I was able to eliminate some things, and learned some important things.
The very first time you connect you'll need to do it from a web browser, rather than the app. Once you have your username/password setup you can do everything else from the android app
Are you putting the port number at the end of the local IP? Jellyfin defaults to port 8096 iirc. So the server URL should be 192.168.0.5:8096. What happens if you input that?
Are you able to connect to the server via web browser? e.g., typing http://192.168.0.5:8096 into Firefox
And as a quick sanity check, is your phone connected to the same wifi network as the Jellyfin server?
Yes, the app automatically checks the default ports as well.
The browser just loads indefinitely.
It is connected to the same WiFi, syncthing is also connected and working between server and phone. It does detect the server from the phone and shows it by name. I set it up on the server as a docker container if that matters.
