Jellyfin Made Easy: Install, Configure, Add Plugins | 2023 Edition

Jellyfin links:
-----------------------------
Jellyfin is still my favorite media player. It's basically Emby but open source. This also means you get way more than you do with Plex when comparing Jellyfin to the free version of plex.

If you're new to media servers, you'll find our tutorial easy to follow and understand. If you're a pro, you'll appreciate how straightforward our approach is. I'll be coming back to my own video when it's time to upgrade, so this is basically like watching my notes to self.

I love all your tutorials Logan. Been following you for over 10 years. Keep it up.

[hopperhelp]

I absolutely love your media library. Pretty much everything you have are either media I’ve bought or I’m working on getting. So thanks, looks like I have to reference as I go.

[RKfMaster]

Straightforward video. None of the nonsense all of the other guides on here have. Thank you.

[spawn]

Awesome guide thank you so much! I got my friend to set up a jellyfin server too with this guide super helpful!

[kevinmoehring]

You guys have the best timing. I just built my new pc earlier this week and was planning on making a jellyfin server out of the old one. Can't wait to get started.

[brandone]

Great tutorial! Had my stream up and running in no time. Thanks for posting.

[balajim]

This is Beautiful! It's a great start for someone who's just getting into self hosting and moving to jellyfin from plex. Loved your video about retroarch/retro gaming starter guide too. Keep up the Good work Logan!

[wesleyson]

Boom! I knew Logan would know how to fix my anime library in Jellyfin. I did have to delete the library and rebuild it and I'm still working on cleaning things up but it's way better than before. Also you have pretty good taste in anime and gave me a few ideas of things to add to my collection.

Would love it if you could please do a guide to setup Jellyfin for remote access. Would like some security advice about this before attempting. I use a QNAP

[connorwalsh]

Nice timing, just as I started looking into Jellyfin this pops up

[rjazz]

Thanks, just jumped from Plex to Jellyfin, it just works out of the box!!!

[johnjohnson]

Dude, You rock ! Now I can go drop a grand on new NAS lol - Thanks the most in depth set up guide I have found utilizing both Jellyfin and ASUSTOR !

[rickdjkane]

Very useful informations. Thank you. Great video!

[xcruell]

Man i finally found you again after realizing you weren't in my subbox anymore...
Exactly the video i needed :D

[denverag]

Been trying to move to this from Plex but would like to get TV recordings ironed out first.
A nice plugin would be handbrake for recordings, it looks like JellyFin already supports Nvidia NVENC, Intel QSV, AMD VCE/VAAPI, and even Apple Video Toolbox

The problem i have with TrueNAS Scale is that Ryzen 7000 is not supported yet for GPU passthrough for kubernetes, yes i can pass it through to a VM, but that leaves me headless in case of any issues, it also robs me of RAM if the VM doesnt need all the RAM

Ideally, i'd like to have PCIe TV tuners as well to share with both Plex and Jellyfin

[bamosonic]

Will use this guide for my media server 😊

[lanpartylandlord]

was trying to setup jellyfin on my synology nas with docker and was having a bit of trouble. came to youtube to search and this was uploaded and in my subscriptions lol.

If only this video came out like month ago haha. I'll probably be rewatching this video few times to get a grasp on everything.

[Underthanoa]

Thanks for video! It would be cool if you could demonstrate how to set up outside of home network usage.

[frankenstein]

Good stuff. TY for shearing. Can videos be played in a playlist ? And if so can it be random shuffle ?
