**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 ?

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 ?

Jellyfin is not installed on a path, right?

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

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

Nothing.
I’ve got an output for 8095 :

So this did not work, so…?

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

false
/etc/yunohost/certs/[my jellyfin subdomain]/crt.pem
8095
8920
8097

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).

Did you try with 8095 ?

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 :
```auto
Authentication error: Unexpected JSON token at offset O: Expected start of the object '{', but had '<' instead at path: $ JSON input:

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

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 !
