Documentation - cshotton - 2025-11-26
Nowhere in the onboarding documentation, quickstart, installation, or help docs is there a simple, explicit example of how to connect to Jellyfin with a web browser. A simple mention of "http://localhost:8096/" would be enormously helpful to any user wanting to validate their installation without downloading a native client on some device.
Why is this missing? Is it not supposed to be known by users? It seems like the most basic bit of up-front info that anyone would want to see, yet I had to go Google "jellyfin ports" to discover what port the HTTP server was listening on.
Better docs, please! Put this info up front!
