[bug] Failed to authenticate with Jellyfin | network is unreachable

[Levi]

Describe the bug

When jfa-go starts on boot, it crashes due to some networking bug. I suspect it may try to start before Jellyfin has booted, as I can simply tell systemd to restart the service and after that it works fine.

To Reproduce

Hard to say, this config was working previously but one day this just started happening. Maybe I messed up the config somehow.

1. Boot system
2. Crash

Platform/Version

• Debian 12
• Version 0.4.0, Commit c6fc576

I did note that issue #276 has similar output but it appears to be a different problem to my eyes.

[Harvey Tindall]

Not sure if you still use jfa-go since its been so long, but f6fdd41 adds a retry mechanism, 6 attempts to connect to Jellyfin are made, 10 seconds apart. If this isn't long enough, its configurable in the advanced settings section.

[Levi]

Didn't see this until now but yes, it's fixed. Thanks! (also the new password reset options are a godsend 👏)
