RE: The Introductions thread - Stimpy - 2025-06-14
Hi! I'm Stimpy. I run Jellyfin on a NUC 14 Pro server, with 10Gb internal networking, and a 5Gb external connection. I've used it for music for years, in the past I just used VLC to play movie files. Now I'm slowly flattening my dvd/bluray/4k collection, and putting it in Jellyfin.
Everything has worked well for me. I like how all the metadata is just for my collection, and it's speedy and reliable to me. When I have an issue, it's usually adressed by adjusting settings.

I run JF on a Windows 11 machine. I installed it by running the exe, no docker or any other things. 🤷
All my media is on a 4Tb SSD and I do no remote access. So... about as basic as you can get.
I run the same setup as you, and have no problems accessing my videos while in my home. But, if I'm away from home, obviously I can't access my videos on anything. Is there a solution for this, as I would like to be at my son's house and access my videos (perhaps cast them to his TV). Thank you.

Hi, I'm Nick, Jellyfin user for all of a week. I came to Jellyfin because of Plex putting its awful streamed content front and centre and moving away from its original purpose as a media server.
I'm running Jellyfin on a Windows 11 server with Caddy reverse proxy for remote access.

Hey, fellow "Fin-ers". My name is Craig and I've been a Jellyfin user for less than a week but I am in love with it. A HUGE thanks to the team for building a platform that has brought fun back to our home's CD collection.
I am ripping to flac and storing them on a Windows 11 machine running JF portable. I fully networked our home years ago so much of the tech foundation was already in place. Our main enjoyment of our new library is through a Cat5 connected Roku Ultra running the JF app, and that feeds to a Marantz pre/processor, an Outlaw Audio amp, a pair of fully restored KEF Reference Series speakers, and HT.
Last night though we sat around the firepit and streamed from a Pixel running the JF app and listened on a portable bluetooth speaker. Though not the audiophile experience of our family room system it was absolutely a blast. We handed the the Pixel around and everyone had their turn playing DJ.
That's what it's supposed to be about, right? Enjoying our music.
I looked around a lot and even ran a trial of an alternative paid solution but Jellyfin was the only one that checked all the boxes :-)
Can leverage home audiophile setup? Done. Family can play on laptops via a user friendly app that is not a setup/support headache for me? Done. Can play on portable devices? Done. Can listen on the back patio? Done. Great metadata-read and "What's Playing Now" display on the flat screen? Done. Didn't cause me any setup headaches? DONE.
I'm sitting here on a Sunday morning listening to Carole King/Tapestry and continuing the ripping project :-) Haven't listened to that album in years.

Hello everyone.
My name is Antonio and I'm from Spain.
I've been an Emby user for the past few years, but this weekend I had enough time to install a Jellyfin Docker instance, install the Jellyfin client for Tizen OS, and get everything ready for the rest of my family.
I'm happy to have made the switch to a 100% open source project.
