I’m new to Jellyfin, and I’m having trouble getting started.

Goals:

  • Host my media on a Mac Mini server
  • Access my media in my home from 2 other devices (one is an Apple TV, the other is a Firefox browser on my HTPC)
  • Let my family members in other homes access my server via Roku or Apple TV.

So far I’ve set up Jellyfin Server on my Mac Mini (specs below). I can see my media. Server seems to be working.

But when I try to access my server via Jellyfin Vue on another device, I keep getting an “Unable to connect” message. I’ve tried different server addresses, but no luck. Any ideas on how to address?

Thank you Lemmy folks!

    When trying to connect, try omitting the / at the end of the address. Maybe thats the problem. So instead of

    https://my.jellyfin.server/

    You type

    https://my.jellyfin.server

    Shouldn’t make a difference, but sometimes it does.
