Something is already using the port. What does netstat -plunt | grep 1900 show in your port list? If something is already listening for DLNA Jellyfin won't be able to on the port, that's just the nature of it.

I'm seeing the same error in my logs and in my case, I have DLNA disabled as well, so I don't expect any error messages every single minute. I'm running Jellyfin 10.3.7 in a Docker Swarm setup.

$ sudo netstat -plunt | grep 1900
udp6       0      0 :::1900                 :::*                                1366/dockerd

Turns out it was Plex. I had port 1900 mapped, but since it's for DLNA, I removed it from my config. Then Jellyfin took over and the message disappeared from the logs.

$ sudo netstat -plunt | grep 1900
udp        0      0 0.0.0.0:1900            0.0.0.0:*                           11446/dotnet        
$ ps -ef | grep 11446
root     11446 11416  2 19:04 ?        00:03:00 dotnet /jellyfin/jellyfin.dll --datadir /config --cachedir /cache --ffmpeg /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg
myuser 16857 28941  0 21:31 pts/0    00:00:00 grep --color=auto 11446

So that solved it for me.

Still weird that Jellyfin grabs port 1900 with DLNA disabled and nags every minute when the port is already in use.

What is expected behaviour in your opinion?

[tyhawk]

@JustAMan If DLNA is disabled in Jellyfin, it should not try to bind to port 1900. Naturally, if DLNA is enabled, it should bind to port 1900.

I have fixed the issue title, please check that I did it correctly.

This issue still exists.

I still see this issue, even with UPnP and DLNA disabled in the dashboard. Can this be reopened?

[comfreak89]

Same for me. Jellyfin still binds to UPNP Port 1900 while disabled in the settings. I also restarted the daemon.

root@jellyfin:~# netstat -tulpena |grep 1900 udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:1900 0.0.0.0:* 110 1970687255 90909/jellyfin udp 0 0 192.168.178.242:1900 0.0.0.0:* 110 1970738674 90909/jellyfin udp 0 0 127.0.0.1:1900 0.0.0.0:* 110 1970738672 90909/jellyfin

Auto discovery uses the same port

[makerio90]

is there a way to disable dlna before a docker container has been made? 1900 is in use and binding it to 1901 wont work.
