Setting up Jellyfin for the first time - r0d7439 - 2025-07-30
Hi! I recently discovered Jellyfin and I'd like to use it! I just have no idea how to set up and run my own server. I'd like to run it on my Arch Linux laptop and in my Android phone. Can someone give me advice on how to get set up and running? Thanks a lot!

So I've got a server set up on my Laptop. But I can't figure out what folder to select to create music and video folders. I have folders titles 'Music' and 'Videos' but when I want to select a folder, they dont show up. Just random folders in the root section from my computer come up. Do I need to select a certain one?
