After watching this tutorial, I was able to install/configure Jellyfin in about 15 minutes. Thank you for the video.

Been using jellyfin for a while now. It works remarkably good on a raspberry pi 4, though I will admit to running into some performance bottlenecks with certain movie formats. Generally, however, it handles up to 1080p just fine.

Great guide!

[procryton]

Excellent. I am wanting to get away from subscriptions-based services for video and music because I am tired of renting content I have "purchased." This will definitely help.👍

[faustipez]

I was going to setup my Jellyfin server pretty soon, this come really handy, Thank you Tom 🥰🙏

[ransacked]

Looking great home. Love the clean shave. Thanks for the tutorial.

[deultima]

Oh Tom! You're back, this strange bearded guy took over your channel for a while. Don't worry, it was still good content.

[warthunder]

Man... haven't seen Baby-face Tom in awhile.

In all seriousness Jellyfin seems like a cool product. I may toy with setting one up at some point

[kevinrowley]

How do I set it up with a local server and use the reverse proxy and a url?

[davidsmith]

You mentioned being able to purchase and download mp3s. I've been searching for where to do that from for quite a while. Can you tell us where?

[stevenanderson]

You look 15 years younger no beard nice to see you back you don't look like Grizzly Adams anymore.

[SamA-eymb]

Trying to use Jellyseerr with Jellyfin, however during Jellyseerr setup an email is required. how do i set up my Jellyfin account with email?

[piergiorgiobnt]

is possible to install jellyfin on shared hosting with a web installer application, just like the web installer on nextcloud?

[mamalujo]

Thank you for the tutorial. How did you use wget to scrape a website for metadata? There are a couple of sites' info I could use for sermons and conferences that the jellyfin plugins can't get right.

Hey Tom, where did you get your hat? I need one!

[会供価]

folder dont show up in jellyfin. what are the permissions?

[RoshiGaming]

I sometimes consider shaving my beard, but I'm bald so I'll just look like a pink egg...

[africantwin]

How do i add a USB SSD to Jellyfin with movies to my Pi4.

[PhoebeAvro]

I know its not the same thing but I have been using Azuracast in the past couple years on a vps, as a radio station, i have used it at home as well as a test server btw I don't use it now so don't ask me the ip address !! :)

[simuman]

Why does nobody say the server is fine, but unless your a programmer there is no way to get this to stream to a Samsung smart TV.
