I am having the worst time with Jellyfin and getting started. I downloaded everything that was needed, got the account made and all that. However, two issues: 1- can’t get Jellyfin to find my folders for music or videos, and 2- can’t seem to login with a different device to engage in streaming. I’m trying to figure out what I’m doing wrong. Help?

  • Edit: I am running CachyOS, and how I downloaded was mixed through AUR and Octopi for dependencies.

    1.) Check the jellyfin logs and see what kind of errors youre getting when adding media folders.

    2.) check your firewall rules on the jellyfin server, as well as your local router/switch and make sure you’re allowing access to the jellyfin port

      To add, make sure jellyfin has the proper permissions to access the disks. I had a helluva time figuring it out back when I started with it a couple years back.
