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!

    cuz my kids are awesome, and most of the schools sucked. its cool, they were consistently the best performers.

    they earned being treated like they might some day be adults.

      Didn’t you want them to hang out with their friends instead of watching cartoons during the day? Or maybe make friends?

        I wouldn’t discount how having that access to cartoons probably made them more friends on its own.

        School may have been a long time ago for some of us, but I don’t think buddying up with the kids who could get you access to things has ever fallen out of style.

          I’m pretty sure a lot of research shows that limiting screen time for kids is a good thing.

          I definitely know that not having access to screens all the time made me have stronger social skills in school than I would’ve had staring at cartoons every chance I got. Being on the computer from the moment I got home was sure as hell bad enough. Once I started skateboarding, my social life took off much faster. Being out, no screens, in a social context where people are just being offline people.

          When I was in school, we talked. And when we didn’t talk, we just sat, bored, together. It was bonding in a way that the brain needs. You need to just sit in silence with someone and be bored together sometimes, man. Boredom feeds creativity. We were also walking around the halls, taking walks outside, going out and touching grass, getting some sun. This was even in high school.

          Sure as fuck wouldn’t have done that if I could watch shows and doom scroll every break.

          I’m glad they’re banning phones in schools here soon. Gonna be good for learning/concentration, and creativity. E-learning is awful for learning, and I can’t imagine leasure-time with phones and other devices help with concentration either, even if they “earned it”.

        Kids sucks. Once y’all grow up a little they start to mellow out. Especially when you’re old enough for weed

            As a former kid, I am speaking for myself. Raise your kids better. Also for context, I am gay and raised in the 2000s by homophobes. I went to Catholic school and basically had no friends until I went to college. Don’t raise your kids to bully and put people down for existing, thats the minimum.

              I think you meant to say “parents suck”, in that case.

              Also, I’m really sorry those things happened to you. Truly, I am. ❤️
