Remote play not working #1231

Open bahace opened 1 week ago

bahace commented 1 week ago

Describe the bug

  1. If I play on local network, ipaddress:port, works smooth. No issues at all.

  2. If I play using dns to connect to server from within or external to my LAN, it gets stuck loading the video.

I can play externally with Jellyfin app and with infuse app (signed up for the 1 week trial). But Swiftfin doesn’t work. Not sure what the issue is.

Application version

1.2

Where did you install the app from?

TestFlight

Device information

iPhone 13mini

OS version

iOS 17.6

Jellyfin server version

10.9.11

Do you have TLS 1.3 enabled? If you change the player to Native, does it play? VLC (Swiftfin's Player) does not work with TLS 1.3.

i only have tls1.2 enabled. using nginx proxy manager and I removed the tls1.3.

Update. I did try the native player.

Native player - LAN - works WAN SSL - works WAN no SSL - works

Swiftfin player - LAN - works WAN SSL - no work (very sporadic, it loads after a VERY LONG time, but won’t play continuous, tons of buffering, unwatchable) WAN no SSL - no work (very sporadic, it loads after a VERY LONG time, but won’t play continuous, tons of buffering, unwatchable)

can’t really figure it out because even on WAN no SSL, the Swiftfin player does not work.

I also thought it might be my proxy manager, so I set my router to directly port forward http traffic to Jellyfin server. Same thing happening. Swiftfin VLC player no work. Native player works.

The issue is the native player sucks compared to VLC. Less codec support, subtitles, and multi language audio support is way better on the Swiftfin VLC player.
