Watched Troy’s video. all was good until I tried to connect the client to the server. It should have been automatic, but failed. I then tried to connect by putting in the name of my PC. It also failed. I then tried putting in the IP address and it also failed. Yes they are on the same wifi, except my PC is on wifi6 and the omni pro is on wifi5. They are both using the same password. Can anyone help?
Hello @jlsthird Is VPN active on any of those two devices? If so, try disabling and see if that makes a difference.

Troy , I just watched ur vid on u-tube n left a comment but Ill repeat: SUPER Excited to get a follow up vid on how to pair JF w/my synology nas. I lost contact w/ all my content (a buttload) w/plex after updating plex over 2yrs ago. Just to figure it out / have had health issues last couple of yrs. Hope JF will resolve. Plex also yup, too bloated n outpriced themselves 
TY ,TP You’ve taught me so much in streaming world. GOD bless ya !!!

Please help! I installed Jellyfin following your tutorial. Which was very explicit, thank you. When I got to where I installed the client, It did not discover any servers. I entered the name of my computer into the ‘Enter Server Address’, no dice. My ip address, no dice. Bluetooth is on and my computer can be recognized by its name.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks, Troypoint.
My movies and TV shows are on external drives that I called media.
So the path to type in was:
/media/computer name/media/Movies
I can’t recall whether the “/Movies” was required or whether I could select from a drop down menu or the like.
If my movies were on my main, internal drive, then I would’ve had to start with /home instead of media.

TP mentioned it before to somebody else. Try disabling VPN on server & device to see if that does it

No, it did not. VPN is off. I should enter the name of my computer, correct?
I don’t have to enter anything because it automatically detects it through the network.
Have you tried rebooting router, computer, and streaming device? Even though they are on different WiFi signals it should still work.

I rebooted everything and still no connection. Maybe I’ll try reinstalling Jellyfin.
I get there is a difference between uncompressed and compressed video files. Is it such a big deal for the average user? Do typical torrent sites have uncompressed files? If not where does one find them? Thank you.
It depends on your equipment & your eyes.
For the quality of my equipment all boxes $50 & under and our TVs, uncompressed or compressed wouldn’t make any difference for our enjoyment.
