Hi,
Could you please see below and advise? I accidentaly deleted my host when trying to resolve the same problem as reported in topic “Jellyfin and Plex both failing to transcode” and now I am unable to add it again.
Issue description:
Unable to add Jellyfin host to Yatse, process ends with a message “Unable to get server version (…)”. Jellyfin has BaseURL configured but it worked well with Yatse until I accidentaly removed the host. When it worked the value from BaseURL parameter of Jellyfin was set in advanced host settings in Yatse as subpath. When adding new Jellyfin host I do not see any field to put the subpath - as far as I remeber advanced host settings are available only after successfully adding host. I am able to access the server both locally and over internet with web browser or Jeyllyfin Android app.
Oh, I see. Base URL implementation might have some problems but I had this configuration working until yesterday when I deleted the host.
Wouldn’t making the subpath field available in host wizzard solve my problem? When the base url was introduced in Jellyfin I simply edited host in Yatse and made sure that subpath matches base url and then it worked prefectly. I am pretty sure that I can make it work again by using the flow as described below but having the possibilty to set subpath in host wizzard seems better option to me:
clear Base URL in Jellyfin
add jellyfin host in Yatse
edit the host in Yatse and set subpath matching desired Base URL
Not having this automatic means more complicated wizard means tons of more support.
They forced a base url on update this is a crazy move without the proper needed additions.
They do not answer on the issue I opened there. But I won’t add more support on my side for something that should not have happened.
I don’t even understand the need for the baseurl at Jellyfin side that should be handled via reverse proxy or other means when you actually want security.
They redirect from / to the url so this does not add security at all just break APi consumers.
