    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.

    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 ?
