Hey Hosters!
Just wanted to share that I got Jellyfin installed and set up on my Windows 2022 Server, and it’s working great! I didn’t even know there was a version for WIndows. How do you like that?
I know this is probably “the usual” for everyone here, but I’m genuinely excited that I managed to get it all running smoothly.
After getting the server up, I went through the basics (users/permissions, library paths, and making sure everything was reachable on the network) and it all just worked. The interface is super clean, playback is nice and responsive, and it feels like I’ve been missing out on this until now.
Huge thanks to the Jellyfin team and the community! This project is awesome!! If anyone is stuck, please don’t give up. keep poking at the configuration and it’ll pay off. Now I just need to spend some time organizing my libraries!
Happy Hosting!
Even with all the right hardware and community-recommended open source software, there are still plenty of unique hostile choices made in BluRay publishing that means playing my stuff in realtime from the disc before ripping has about a 75% success rate. Many of them scramble playlists and bend the standard to make it unplayable without using their official license.
And that’s if you know where to get the legally grey key files to decrypt them in the first place.
DVDs should be possible in this day and age though.
