Jellyfin autodiscovered in Symfonium but cannot connect; web works

Issue description:

Dear Symfonium crew,
Thank you for the amazing and beautiful app! After using it on local files I now want to add my jellyfin server. The server is reachable in a webbrowser and Symfonium autodiscovers it in my local network. But when I try add it as a source, it cannot connect - no matter what ports I try. I do not use a SSL certificate and the server is only available through http.

I sent the logs with my forum name “mcgnomus”. Maybe you see something that I am missing?

Thank you for any ideas!
Fabian

Additional information:

 
I installed Jellyfin via Yunohost on a Raspberry Pi 5. It can be reached through a subdomain of my domain which I DynDNSed to the box.

Media provider:

I got around this by adding it manually,
You can skip the auto setup for Jellyfin by tapping the ‘Skip’ button when adding a new media provider.

Also, make sure to also add the http:// in the URL.

Your server expose multiple values for the auto discover, including a valid secure https server.
Unfortunately the https part is behind sso preventing connection.

2025-03-29 23:48:08.345 Verbose JellyfinLogger  --> [868] GET https://cloud.xxxxxxx.de/jellyfin/System/Info
2025-03-29 23:48:08.347 Verbose JellyfinLogger  --> [868] END GET
2025-03-29 23:48:08.741 Verbose JellyfinLogger  <-- [868] 200 https://cloud.xxxxxxx.de/yunohost/sso/?r=aHR0cHM6Ly9jbG91ZC56ZWl0aXN0d2VsdC5kZS9qZWxseWZpbi9TeXN0ZW0vSW5mbw== (401ms, 11069-byte body)
2025-03-29 23:48:08.743 Verbose JellyfinLogger  <-- [868] END HTTP (encoded body omitted)

Since Symfonium prefers https with valid certs, auto detection fails. Strange that Jellyfin advertise the sso as valid connection.

But you need to skip the auto discovery and enter the proper value value.
For your host http://docker:8096 should work.

I found the solution! :partying_face:
It had nothing to do with auto detection in this case, but the problem was that in the Yunohost settings of Jellyfin I did not allow guest users to access the server. With this setting, Yunohost puts a separate login mask (for Yunohost users) in front of the login mask of Jellyfin - in the web browser I just logged into both and had no problem, but the apps expect only the Jellyfin login mask.

Guess, I just was too tired to see this yesterday. Thank you @stever88 and @Tolriq for your friendly tips!!!
