Jellyfin is going to explode in popularity (it kind of has already)

[–] rezz@lemmy.world 36 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I did Jellyfin right when I got into this as soon as I saw Plex require an external account.

[–] vithigar@lemmy.ca 14 points 1 year ago

Same. The need for an account meant I never gave Plex a second glance.

I'd love it if it had native apps on popular devices, especially on samsung TV. There are ways to set it up, but it has issues

I would love to switch to jellyfin but I can't get the fuckin thing to work. Same with Emby. Absolutely refuses to find the server.

[–] Lem453@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You install it then go to http://IP:8096. That doesn't work?

[–] Wogi@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (4 children)

No. I've spent hours googling my problem and trying every solution that popped up. The server is behind a router, and no amount of port forwarding and firewall permissions is getting past it for whatever reason.

Are you on apartment internet by chance? You've probably got a double NAT. In which case you'll need a server, outside the network, that can make a tunnel to your server.

[–] MigratingtoLemmy@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's a NAT issue. Are you able to reach anything else besides Jellyfin behind the router?

[–] Wogi@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

There are a few things plugged in to that router that I've never had an issue accessing, but they just need basic Internet access as far as I understand

First-time setup is best done locally

Yeah I've been running Jellyfin for a year now and it's amazing. The plugins automatically find metadata, cover art, and subtitles for me as soon as I upload them to my nas.
