Then you'll see an option to add an account. You'll then be greeted with a page with a six digit number. If you look down, you'll see an option that says Other options: Use a password. Click on that. Then you can enter a Username and password of the kid account.

RE: how to add new users ie kids, bedroom etc all in the same network - space - 2025-07-26 another quick question, I have run a cat5 cable to the other side of my house and have another router giving two rooms internet, how would that work being another router with new ip, ie I what them to be able to get jellyfin, but its asking server address, & its not discovered my server? RE: how to add new users ie kids, bedroom etc all in the same network - theguymadmax - 2025-07-26 That's a lot more complicated. So you're saying you have two separate networks? Router A - Jellyfin is on. Router B - Cat5 to Android device Two separate networks won't be able to see devices on each other. You would need to run Router B as an access point. Or set up remote access using a remote proxy: https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/post-install/networking/reverse-proxy/ Caddy being the simplest solution. |
