Describe the bug
If I start syncplay on my local network with localIp:8096 it works fine.
If I start syncplay over subdomain link (jellyfin.dnsName.com) all I can do is create groups, but nothing can join them. I've been using this setup with apache on Jellyfin since the project began without issue.

System (please complete the following information):

  • OS: Arch Linux
  • Virtualization: None
  • Clients: Browser
  • Browser: Firefox 78, Chromium 84
  • Jellyfin Version: 10.6
  • Playback: Direct Play
  • Installed Plugins: none
  • Reverse Proxy:apache
  • Base URL: none
  • Networking: Host
  • Storage: local

To Reproduce

  1. Go to library
  2. Click on media to play
  3. Click Syncplay button
  4. Click create group
  5. On client machine: click syncplay
  6. On Client machine: click group. Nothing happens

Expected behavior
Client machine should start playing synced media

Logs
Zero Errors in log about syncplay. Only entries are "Leave Group"

Please make sure your apache config has websockets: https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/networking/apache.html
