What app is this about, and its version: Jellyfin 10.11.6~ynh1
What YunoHost version are you running: 12.1.39
What type of hardware are you using: Raspberry Pi 3, 4+

Describe your issue

Jellyfin is all set up an running rather fine.
It has its own subdomain (jellyfin[dot]mydomain[dot]com), and a let’s encrypt certificate.

It’s running fine from a web browser, from the local network as well as from a remote connection.
However, I cannot connect any Android app.

Note : I had to change the « remote http port » from 8096 to 8097 since it is used by Wireguard, but I’m not sure it’s used in this setup.

Hi @flov
Did you open the discovery ports (1900 and 7359) as shown in ynh>apps>jellyfin> admin panel ?

3

Yes I did, and by the way the Jellyfin app is able to show it as available on my network. I can click on it ([https]://jellyfin[dot]mydomain[dot]com), but then it fails to connect.

There is no detailed error message, but the app reports that it tried :

[https]://jellyfin[dot]mydomain[dot]com

[https]://jellyfin[dot]mydomain[dot]com:8096

[https]://jellyfin[dot]mydomain[dot]com:8920

I would expect only the first one to work though, because of the way yunohost is configuring nginx, right ?

4

Jellyfin is not installed on a path, right?

5

No, it’s at the root of its own subdomain.

6

Can you share gthe output of lsof -i :8097?

7

Nothing.

I’ve got an output for 8095 :

root@intra:~# lsof -i :8095
COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
jellyfin 830 jellyfin 485u IPv4 19850 0t0 TCP localhost:8095 (LISTEN)
root@intra:~#

8

So this did not work, so…?

10

Maybe not, but at least it’s set in the network configuration :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<NetworkConfiguration […]>
  <BaseUrl />
  <EnableHttps>true</EnableHttps>
  <RequireHttps>false</RequireHttps>
  <CertificatePath>/etc/yunohost/certs/[my jellyfin subdomain]/crt.pem</CertificatePath>

  <InternalHttpsPort>8920</InternalHttpsPort>
  <PublicHttpPort>8097</PublicHttpPort>

  <IsRemoteIPFilterBlacklist>false</IsRemoteIPFilterBlacklist>
</NetworkConfiguration>

Also, I wonder why it would work through a web browser but not the app. What’s the difference ? I though it could be related to the certificate, so I specified its path (see jellyfin’s network config in my previous post).

12

Did you try with 8095 ?

13

I just did try, it still fail.

My understanding is that the nginx reverse proxy is listening on port 443 and sending the trafic related to jellyfin[dot]mydomain[dot]com to port 8095 (jellyfin’s internal http port). Therefore, I should not care about jellyfin’s external http port (8096).

By the way, I did a fresh install on a Pi5, without Wireshark. Same result :

Connections are working well from a web browser, both from my local network and remotely, but the apps however are still unable to connect from anywhere.

I tried with a different app (JellyWath) that displayed this message :

Authentication error: Unexpected JSON token at offset O: Expected start of the object '{', but had '<' instead at path: $ JSON input: <!DOCTYPE html><html data-cap.....
14

This is a typical error when behind the sso. Is your Jellyfin instance accessible to visitors?

15

That was it !

I removed the default « visitors » authorized accounts right after the installation, it seemed safe.

I re-enabled it, now the app is working ! Thank you, and thanks @otm33 for the help too !
