- Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
- Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
- Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
- Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
- Bigotry will not be tolerated.
3. Post Linux-related content
- Including Unix and BSD.
- Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of
sudoin Windows. - No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
4. No recent reposts
- Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

6. (NEW!) Regarding public figures
We all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations. - Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.

- Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.
Please report posts and comments that break these rules!
Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

Both. I was pretty tired when I last checked. My initial YouTube search turned up a bunch of installing other apps. Setting a port number...sure, I can do that. Installing other apps and settings... That's a headache.
I'll make another attempt when I get the energy, but thanks for the direction.
The other apps (probably sonarr/radarr/jellyseer?) are for downloading content, for watching what you already have jellyfin alone will do the job. The only other one you might want is an avahi client, so that on the local network you can connect with [pc’s name].local:8096 instead of 192.168.0.whatever:8096.
Usually for jellyfin alone its enough to install it (from apt, assuming you’re on a Debian based distro), make it auto start with
sudo systemctl enable jellyfin, and then turn it on withsudo systemctl start jellyfin. That should be enough to see it running from your local network, although you might have to use your local ip if avahi isn’t on.Anyway no pressure to jump back into troubleshooting this, just wanted to say it so you don’t feel like whatever programs youtube was recommending are mandatory.
Thanks. I've got the content, so I'll have to putter around with a few commands. I would love to be done with Plex.
