What is jellyfin downloading? (Setup question) - matt666 - 2024-11-02
First time jellyfin user here. So i created a jellyfin instance with docker compose which is reachable within the web ui. In the setup, jellyfin ask me about stuff related to "downloading" (Preferred language for downloads and so on). What exactly is this for? I'm pretty sure jellyfin don't want to torrent stuff in background (i hope so), but why is jellyfin asking these kind of things? What is jellyfin downloading? I need to know if i have to put jellyfin behind my vpn now that such questions are being asked or not. Or is this only for metadata like release year, description, pictures and so on?

It's for metadata. https://jellyfin.org/docs/
