No. I’ve spent hours googling my problem and trying every solution that popped up. The server is behind a router, and no amount of port forwarding and firewall permissions is getting past it for whatever reason.
There are a few things plugged in to that router that I’ve never had an issue accessing, but they just need basic Internet access as far as I understand
I had a similar issue in my home where I ran a nighthawk router at the back of my house connected to the ATT router/modem at the front of the house. I let them run as separate networks for a long time, and that prevented anything not connected to the same router as the jellyfin server from seeing it.
I recently got my act together and switched the router to “access point mode” and the house is all 1 network now. The jellyfin server is available on everything in the house as well. After the change, I felt silly I had it the other way for years because it sure helps many of the other wifi objects in my home as well.
Are you on apartment internet by chance? You’ve probably got a double NAT. In which case you’ll need a server, outside the network, that can make a tunnel to your server.
I would love to switch to jellyfin but I can’t get the fuckin thing to work. Same with Emby. Absolutely refuses to find the server.
You install it then go to http://IP:8096. That doesn’t work?

That’s a NAT issue. Are you able to reach anything else besides Jellyfin behind the router?

This isn’t a wireless router. Like the other guy said, it’s probably a NAT issue.
I wasn’t using the wireless functions of my router either.

First-time setup is best done locally
