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!

      Yeah, I keep a “Kids” profile on my Plex/Jellyfin server, specifically so I can throw Bluey, Mr Rogers Neighborhood, Miss Rachel, etc on and not worry about it. Elsagate (which is still a big problem) means you can’t just put on YouTube Kids and expect auto-played content to stay safe. But with my server, running solely on content I have curated, I know that everything in that “Kids” profile is going to be safe.
