I’m pulling my hair out a bit here :sweat_smile: Infuse suddenly refuses to connect to my Jellyfin server, while literally every other Jellyfin client (web, official app, etc.) works perfectly. It’s definitely something on the Infuse side. Quick rundown: • Jellyfin: 10.11.5 (latest stable) and 10…

I am also having bad connections to Jellyfin. It works temporarily - for about a day or so - until it fails to connect or index and I need to completely re-add the server. Very frustrating.

I’m having a similar issue where I can’t connect to my remote server via infuse but literally every other app works. Also of note if I was already connected to the server it works. I just can’t add it as a new server on any of my infuse devices that didn’t already have it.

The upcoming 8.3.6 version of Infuse will add support for logging into Jellyin 10.12 (unstable).

Didn’t fix my issue. Still unable to connect.

Also still having issues on latest Infuse build and Jellyfin 10.11.6

I wasn’t having issue with jellyfin 10.11.5 but suddenly today it stopped connecting. Removing and re-adding the server does not help and other devices have no issue connecting to Jellyfin. Looks like something changed in infuse, breaking connectivity.

I tried repeatedly over the last few days with no luck, haven’t changed anything on server or client end and then suddenly when I tried to re-add the server a few moments ago it randomly worked…. Not a massive help to your issue I know but keep giving it a go until there’s a response from devs, you …

So I noticed that with the jellyfin username of “infuse” I would get a connection error, but if I entered in an invalid username, I would get a bad password response. So I tried connecting with my infuse admin account and it worked without issue. My guess is there is a bug in the infuse codebase wh…

Today’s 8.3.6 update adds initial support for Jellyfin 10.12 (unstable).

Note: Running unstable Jellyfin builds is always a little risky and there will likely more improvements coming as development of the 10.12 version progresses.
