so, up until recently (week or two maybe?) I was able to connect to the jellyfin-media-player from the jellyfin android app and initiate and control playback, change subtitles, the works. well, it's not there any more, when I click on "Play On" I can only connect to the jellyfin-mpv-shim instance, which works same as before.

now before I start troubleshooting and pulling stuff apart, can anyone chime in if it works for them?

edit: same thing when using the web client in firefox, isn't detected.

glad it's working for you but no dice here. installed it fresh on a laptop, same deal, doesn't detect either of them.

both installs are flatpaks, how about yours?

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Just tried it on my Linux laptop (Debian 12 and also installed via flatpak) and it's also working. Both Linux & Windows versions of Jellyfin Media Player are version 1.11.1.

Do you have a firewall enabled on either of those Linux devices? Could they be blocking any required in/outgoing ports that need to be open?

I would refer to this document and ensure these ports are not being blocked: https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/networking/ - although this may be unrelated if the android <-> Jellyfin Media Player are using other means to communicate.
