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.

    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.
