[Issue]: DLNA service / announcement seems to not like bind-address being configured

[niclan]

Please describe your bug

Two weeks ago DLNA playback from Jellyfin on our Samsung TV started randomly crashing during playback. No biggie, just restart the DLNA client and select the same file. Jellyfin even remembered how far along the playback had come! But a nusiance. Some days ago I had added a ip-alias to our server because two (unrelated) docker-containers I wanted to run at the same time wanted the same ports. Finding no error messages anywhere I wanted to eliminate the extra interface and told jellyfin to bind to the servers old address.

I later realized that Jellyfin did not appear as a DLNA source in the DLNA players anymore: Not the TV, not VLC, not my phone DLNA client. No problem, just restarted the jellyfin server. Indeed Jellyfin was shown as a service and and I could easily choose the media to play taking however long I needed.

And the next time the same repeated but I did not think too closely about it. This happened a couple more times and I deferred the problem.

Because a couple of other devices had vagues issues I last weekend replaced the switch that the TV and these devices were attached to. I restarted the Jellyfin service, selected a movie and it played trough without a problem. Before the switch replacement it would have crashed several times. (Interestingly the Disney+ client on the TV never had any issues, but I guess it has been made more rugged against network issues). So the playback crashes was due to the old switch. But, the DLNA service still goes off the air after something like one UPNP announcement. If the DLNA clients are not listening at that momemt they will not see Jellyfin.

I found a old case (#972) that sort of looked like my problem. I removed the bind-address setting and restarted. Didn't look like it helped. Started writing up this ticket, this took a while. Restarted jellyfin again. And now it sticks! I can restart the TV, restart the phone DLNA client over and over and start playback and so on.

I can't find any relevant log output.  Here is from the moment where I removed the bind-address setting.

Issue does not relate to playback, just UPNP service announcement. I think.
