Seerr failing to connect to Jellyfin

Posted by Technofly17

Hey everyone, I'm working through trying to get my media stack up an running. Currently trying to get seerr up after I did the first bit of setup with jellyfin. I put in the URL and Port threw in an email put my username and password for jellyfin and after awhile of trying to sign in seerr throws these errors in the logs. Failed to authenticate with headers {"ip":localiphere ;) The provided Emby is invalid or the server is not reachable. {"error":"INVALIDURL","status":404,"hostname":"http:/localiphere;) I've confirmed on Jellyfin that the URL and port are correct. Does anyone know what is going on here?

You're really close — the catch is that Seerr runs in its own little container, so it can't reach Jellyfin by your normal LAN IP (that's what's throwing the 'invalid / not reachable' error). It needs Jellyfin's internal name instead. In Seerr's Jellyfin setup, use: - Hostname: sb-jellyfin-media - Port: 8096 - SSL: off - then your Jellyfin username + password Leave the IP out entirely and it'll connect right up. Once it's in, Sonarr and Radarr are already wired for you, so you're basically done.
