Glad I moved to Jellyfin for unrelated reasons. (Plex don't give a shit about their users, was my main gripe. Well, byyye 👋)

    Surely a me thing, but twice I've installed Jellyfin but couldn't get my pc to see folders on the server, when trying to use my pc as the server for my content (only local viewing from my pc).

    If I could work out how, I'd have switched.

    Surely a permissions issue?

    I'll have another crack at it, it could be, but I'm also wondering if it's a firewall thing somehow. Or perhaps my specific router (it's a pretty good one, but perhaps it's a specific model issue).

    I will do some more forum searching and try to get to the bottom of it. Tbh, Plex has done everything that I've asked of it, partly why I've just used that for the time being, but I would like to get Jellyfin up and running. Cheers.

    If you are opening Jellyfin on the same PC as the Jellyfin server is running and you can't see the media, that couldn't be the router, I don't think. The traffic wouldn't even go through the router in that case, right? (localhost)

    Yes, I agree. From memory, I could see the files and watch movies from the pc that the server was installed on, the first time.

    I can't recall if I could, the second time, but probably. I certainly couldn't see the movies, from the Nvidia Shield Pro, but it was possibly a router issue, not sure.
