    Hi,

    Recently installed Jellyfin to replace Plex.  Everything works ok, but when I try to open the server to add a new movie or something, I get the player instead of the server setup?

    What am I doing wrong?

    Did you install Jellyfin Server or Jellyfin Media Player?

    Jellyfin 10.10.7 LSIO Docker | Ubuntu 24.04 LTS | i7-13700K | Arc A380 6 GB | 64 GB RAM | 79 TB Storage

    What are you "opening up" to add more to?

    If you've added movies to a Movies library and TV Shows to a TV shows library you can run scans on all the source locations throug the settings of either library (with an admin account) or through the dashboard-libraries.

    You don't need to add individual new items that are located within the library paths you've already established.

    If you've created new library paths you want to add to specific libraries then you go through dashboard-libraries and edit the specific library to add the new folder paths.

    That's the best advice I can offer given the limited info you provided but hope it helps.
    JF Wish List:
    IMDb Top250 metadata
    Collection content rules: Library-Title/Sorttitle/Tag/Director/Filename/Contains
    Collection organized by Library
    Collections scanned to editable XML
    Media info show added Collection
    Soundtrack auto link to movie by title/sort/Manual
    Read Music Album Sort
