USB connection - Malbec - 2023-12-26
Hello everybody,
I've just installed Jellyfin on my Strong/Leap2 Android TV, and I'm stuck on the very first screen: it asks for a server address, and I don't have any: I just have hundreds of films on big disks in a NAS, which is connected to the Leap by USB.
How could I instruct Jellyfin to recognize this NAS and list its films?
I thank you very much for your help
Best regards.
Malbec

you have to install a server https://jellyfin.org/downloads/server all you installed is the client from what it sounds like, the client doesn't do what you're wanting

Thank you for this quick answer! But I just had a look at the page you mentioned and I have to admit I have no idea on what server to choose neither on how to install and configure it...

honest opinion, i don't think this is the right software for someone who does not know what their nas is or what os it runs
better options exist, try kodi

In fact, its not a NAS, but a JBOD which has no OS...
But I think you may be right, as I really don't need all the capabilities of Jellyfin : all what I need is to organize and read the films on several external disks.
Do you think that Kodi would be the best choice for these needs ?

try VLC - may be it will see your JBOD
