Unable to add server

[SaurabhHarwande]

Describe the bug
I have setup my jellyfin server on a raspberry pi which is accessible at http://jellyfin.rbpi.home(I have a reverse proxy running on the server so ports are not needed the URL is automatically routed to the server).

I am able to open this URL in the browser. But when I am trying to add server with the above URL it does not work.

jellyfin-mpv-shim has been installed using the AUR package on Arch Linux.

From logs the error could be that the application is appending a port to the URL which will not work in my case. http://jellyfin.rbpi.home but http://jellyfin.rbpi.home:8096 will fail.

Solution could be to add an option to exclude port in the http url? Or we can also do something official jellyfin clients do. Try connecting both URLs one after the other. First attempt <entered_url>, then attempt <entered_url>:8096.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Open jellyfin-mpv-shim
2. Enter the server url http://jellyfin.rbpi.home
3. Enter the username and password for user that has been setup on the server
4. Click on Add Server
5. Following error is shown Could not add server. Please check your connection information.

Expected behavior
When we enter correct URL, credentials and click on add server we should be able to connect to the jellyfin server and access content.

Solution could be to add an option to exclude port in the http url? Or we can also do something official jellyfin clients do. Try connecting both URLs one after the other. First attempt <entered_url>, then attempt <entered_url>:8096.

It's not a solution, there's no such thing as "no port". When you connect to URL in the browser without explicitly adding :<port number> browser will connect to :80 when using http:// or to :443 when using https://.

Application log even says:

If you want to connect to standard http port 80, use :80 in the url

So, you just need to do exactly that if your jellyfin instance listens on port 80
