Hi, new to the sub, I wonder if you could help me.

I tried everything but can’t access from iPhone nor iPad through the app.

My server is set on my Linux mint laptop, so I tried to do that thing where you tell the firewall to let devices from local host 8096 access the pc, but it does not work. I’m pretty sure is not a Linux problem at this point, it’s the iOS app that have some kind of block.

Is there a way to make this app work? Did some of you succeed?

(Before you suggest I use plex, it‘a not an option for me cos I can’t use it on my tv with fire stick.

I also tried Emby but it uses the same local host of jellyfin, so when I open the emby server client it automatically goes to the jellyfin server page)

Thanks for your kindness!

    Is JellyFin listening on localhost? Try changing its binding to 0.0.0.0 instead. Localhost is not available off the local machine, so I’m not sure what you mean by ‘let devices from local host access the pc’.
