RE: logging on - sailor842 - 2024-05-23
Looks like my last post didn't post!
I have JellyFin on my external E drive and I accidentally formatted said drive.
As I had a full backup of that drive (I thought) I reinstalled it.
The JellyFin folder did not restore.
All of my movies, TV shows etc. are on that drive.
I tried to log into my JellyFin server on my computer. The failure to log in has lead to this discussion.
I tested my TV's and they both can access my movies etc.
I tried reinstalling the JellyFin folder but after 17 hours it was only as 33% so I cancelled the recovery.
As I am getting a new computer this morning I will install JellyFin on it's C drive. (TB so I should have room.
I hope I have no problems removing JellyFin from the E drive.
I do like the program even though it is a pain ti install.
A side question...How do I insert a photo to show what I look like?

I cannot make heads or tails of what you have or have not done. So I can't really give you advice on what to do to get back to where you were.
If you want to set a profile picture you go into the user control panel and "change avatar".

It does NOT have to be an actual picture of you. For example, I am NOT a cute little rubber duck with a pirate hat.

As I am transferring to a new computer I have given up on the repair.
I have now installed JellyFin on my new computer, setup folders with my movies, TV shows, Music and additional videos.
Now, I am waiting for the program to populate.

Boy was it slow!
Finally got it all done and went through a lot of frustration getting my TV to recognize the new server. Had to use the quick connect option once I figured how to activate.
Thanks for the avatar link.
That is a very old photo.

As I've had a lot of problems recently I went ahead and replaced router/modem with an Arris modem and a Netgate router.
I still have Jellyfin on my TV but it will not connect.
Per info that I received from "TheDreadPirate" I made sure I am using the IP address of my computer.
I've also deleted all of the other servers.
Queation now, does Jellyfin run on both 5G and 2.4G or only on 2.4?
RE: logging on - TheDreadPirate - 2024-07-15
Jellyfin does not manage the network connection it connects to. It uses whatever the operating system provides it.
Also, being on separate frequency bands does not mean you are on separate networks in most cases.
