Add message when connection fails

[caluml]

Describe your issue

I have IPv6 connectivity.
I can connect via a web browser (so all connectivity, firewalls, etc are OK).

But connecting via the IPv6 address (e.g. https://[20a0:123:24:345::4645]:8920) fails instantly.

Steps to reproduce

Open app
Enter https:[]:8920
Hit connect

Expected behavior

It should work, or give a useful error message.

Additional context

The Jellyfin instance doesn't have a DNS name, and uses a self-signed cert, so it might be that that is causing it

But whatever the issue is, displaying a more helpful error message would be very useful.

IPv6 connections should not be a problem.
Are you able to connect using an IPv4 address?

Findroid trusts user added certificates as well. Have you added your ca to the android system?

Hi @jarnedemeulemeester

After some experimenting, it was due to the SSL cert.
It was either because it was self signed, or perhaps because the IP address wasn't listed in the certificate.

Could I suggest

• an error message on the connection screen for when the connection fails, detailing what the underlying issue is? I.e. connection timed out, read timed out, certificate is untrusted, 403 received, etc
• also, an "Ignore SSL errors" checkbox for situations similar to this
