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. Are you running as the systemd service?
    2. “Find” as in it doesn’t know where your folders are or “find” as in you told it where the media is but they’re not showing up? If former, configure your libraries in the UI. If latter, check logs, its probably a permissions issue.
    3. Can you log in to the webui from the host machine itself? If so but not other devices on the LAN, then there’s a probably a setting somewhere that’s set to 127.0.0.1 that should be 0.0.0.0.
