Hey people,
I have a conceptual question, I guess. I have watched some guides on the topic of Jellyfin setup and I am a bit confused, so hopefully somebody can clear stuff for me.
I have a ps4 and have the Media Player app running and through DLNA it finds my jellyfin. This is installed and running fine on a separate Ubuntu server Jammy. When I try to connect to it via ps4 Media Player it finds it and displays - 'Nothing here' or something to that effect, but that is fine since I have not added media. Now my question, should this media be in my server, should it be stored there, or should it be on another machine. Based on what I have seen, people usually advise noobs to create media folders in /home/whateveruser/ (I don't know if this is a good idea) and use FileZilla for example to move stuff. But from where? From my machine to the jellyfin server or what?
Any advice is welcome!
