My jellyfin server is like 98% there. I just started it yesterday and I've made an account and added my movies into it except I can't connect to it from any external devices. I go to the jellyfin Android app and I put in my public IP,private IP and the IP on the back of my modem made sure to also put :8096 after and still nothing, still get failure to connect. So I edited my port forwarding through my router, and I still get the same error. can anyone help?

No no no. Stop what youre doing and first understand how opening your services to the public internet works, and what the risks are.

Try subs like /r/HomeNetworking maybe, and the Jellyfin forum.
