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?

I didn't have to play with my router settings, what I did was just open a port(8096) on the device that hosted the server. The ip was the device ip on the local network (192.168....)

Everything works fine. Using the localip:8096 as url.
