Man, I've been running Plex for about a decade without a ton of issues. I tried jellyfin, and I can't get video to play anywhere that's not the PC that's running it. What am I doing wrong?
You might want to check and see what ports you do or don't have open to your local network. I know I had to open port 1900 on UDP to connect from the clients in the house.
This is most likely the issue. I can’t help if you are on windows but on Linux you may want to google iptables, ufw, or firewalld.
There's a setting to allow remote viewing
Nothing. Jellyfin is just bad and Plex, despite the hate, is good software.
You mean the extremely commercialized Plex? Nah.
You're better off going with Emby. It actually works, and isn't commercialized to shit like Plex.
Seconded. I tried Plex, Emby and Jellyfin and found Emby was the sweetshop between GUI niceness and not swamped with shit features I don't want or need. Jellyfish while being great and free, does not have the same UI polish as Emby, so I stumped up for a lifetime sub.
