How to SetUp JellyFin Media Server in 10 Minutes With Raspberry Pi 5 (2024)

How to SetUp JellyFin media server in 10 minutes with Raspberry Pi 5 in 2024. Turn Your Raspberry Pi 5 in to a local media streaming server for home using JellyFin. JellyFin Media server is a Global & client based streaming server that lets you build your own media server using raspberry Pi 5.

Have you ever imagined building your own Netflix or PrimeVideo or Hulu ? This can be done with the help of raspberry pi 5 using a JellyFin media server which allows to stream the media content within a local network. Using your local media files like Movies, TV Shows, Music, Videos stored inside a drive can be streamed across multiple devices from Android TV, Laptop, PC & Smartphones.

Very useful and instructive video. Thx for sharing

You can test for me the video whose source code needs to be transcoded because on jellyfin it says "Raspberry Pi 5 lacks hardware encoders completely." so if there is video transcoding, is it weaker than the pi 4 and also requires htop

Hey, I only have a pi4, 8gb and it works fine, except for movie files larger than about 8gb

I have movies 4K and 15gb + size, but it doesn’t buffer and the videos just take forever to load and ultimately it’s unwatchable.

Would the pi5 handle this?

7:06 When I reach this step and type in "lsblk" to view my drive I do not have an sda1. I have sda and under that an sda2. When I use the command "mkfs.ext4 /sda" or "mks.ext4 /sda2" I am presented with an error. "The file /sda2 does not exist and no size was specified". Anyone have any tips on how to get around this?

At 2:59 mark, what adapter do you have from your sata WD green going to usb into the Pi? Could you provide a link?

Hey nice Video. Is it possible to install casa OS on a raspberry pi 5 IF a Maria DB is installed and running? Or does the casa OS eliminate the Maria DB?

I'm struggling so much trying to use your videos. They're all written to use a single hard drive. It's been so difficult. I had to seek out help for over a week just to figure out I needed to use labels on fstab so drives would be statically addressable by the OS instead of moving.😢

Now I'm trying to set up Jellyfin, but I can't figure out how to add three drives to libraries because they're not showing up even when I add three volumes to the Host section you show at 10:19. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong and I cannot find a single guide or video online for how to use multiple drives in a media server. I'm losing my mind.

How many devices can you stream playing 4k video through jellyfin on Pi 5 8gb?

[JPPorcaro]

never reconnects after reboot at the end

[tushar]

Can you make video on media automation with radarr, sonar, prowlerr or jacket

[vantamg]

Fantastic video.

How do I secure the IP address, such as HTTPS ?

[TimDave-xgnq]

Nice video explanation is very clear also, there is an alternative to casa os called umbrel os

[bap]

Is Plex the way or is JellyFin the way?

it's pronounced "Raspberry Pi 5" not Raspberry Pi Fi"
