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!

    Ok, this makes sense, thank you.

    I’m now able to access my Jellyfin server from other devices in my home. (A browser on another machine, and an Apple TV with Swiftfin).

    If I wanted to extend access to people outside my home, what’s the best way?

    Thank you
