Thanks for the tutorial! It works flawlessly. I tried going the CLI route at first and felt stupid by how messy and confusing it was to use, so it felt good to see I wasn't alone in my frustrations.

This is what I like, straight to the point. Thanks man for helping me. I couldn't get to the web based set up part.

It's good to get back to simple. I just want something to enjoy my media library, like the days of XBMC. Great video!

Thank you for the easy set up video! I am Moving away from Plex. So i am hoping this will be a great experience.

Now that it is installed how to view on my Smart TV and phone? Those steps would be helpful. I have been trying to find a complete set up video and can't find one.

Wow thanks for the simple video! That was so easy. Even I understood it.

Would I be able to access the movies and TV shows on my mobile or tablet by using thr jellyfin app when I am on my home network (with or without internet), would really appreciate if you could make a video on that.

S installed on windows 10, ryzen CPU 16 gig ram, jellyfin the server needs to be restarted often, it seems it goes to sleep, although I have PC set to never sleep, this is driving me nuts, any help appreciated... I want to keep this on windows not Linux, thanks

Mike Judge makes Jellyfin tutorials now. lol

I downloaded the portable version on windows today. When i launch the jellyfin.exe file (145kb) it just opens up a window similar to a command prompt and runs a bunch of commands, then nothing. The window stays open with a blinking cursor at the bottom. No system tray icon or anything.

[xosh]

Is there a jellyfin app? Or is it just on the browser?

[timnels]

All I want to do is update Jellyfin (on windows 11) to the newest version. Shield will run Jellyfin server without an update, I am unable to find and update icon/button within jellyfin, why is this so difficult.

[Theawesomaeltygamer]

can someone explain to me how to connect the swiftfin account to my server to watch stuff

[randomgoogler]

is this a safe method of a few non local users?
