Original Pull Request: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/pull/3549

State: closed
Merged: Yes


Presently if the server cannot bind to the AutoDiscovery port (udp 7359) then the server start up will exit with a fatal error. Since this port cannot be overridden (which would not make sense) or disabled via config, this would prevent users from running Jellyfin on a server where this port is not available or already in use (e.g. Emby running).

Changes
Handle exception trying to bind to udp 7359 and log as warning.
