### Structure & usage
|
|
|
|
 
|
|
|
|
Jellyfin is an open-source project to offer a media server that can be easily [[Server Cloud|self-hosted]]. The project is therefore articulated around a server and a suite of clients for different platforms.
|
|
|
|
&emsp:
|
|
|
|
#### Server
|
|
|
|
The server points towards file repositories within the server it is installed on but does not manage the upload phase. [[Server Cloud#Data transfer|Other services]] can do that.
|
|
|
|
It offers the following features:
|
|
1. Organisation of the media files (video, audio, pictures)
|
|
2. Generation of automatic lists (currently watching, next to watch, etc…)
|
|
3. Fetching metadata including covers and posters
|
|
4. Media players are embedded
|
|
|
|
 
|
|
|
|
#### Clients
|
|
|
|
Native clients exist for computers and phones.
|
|
Other non-native clients exist for every platform.

|
### Setup
|
|
|
|
&emsp:
|
|
|
|
Jellyfin is quite user friendly and does not require much set-up. Mainly it is about `ftp`-ing or `ssh`-ing content into the server.
|
|
Metadata and most screens populate automatically.
|
|
The second main angle of setup is the admin panel.
|
|
|
|
 
|
|
|
|
#### Data Transfer
|
|
|
|
Please refer to the [[Server Cloud#Data transfer|relevant section]] on rclone.
|
|
|
|
The media paths are sketched out below:
|
|
|
|
> [!path] Movies
|
|
> ```bash
|
|
> ~/jellyfin/media/movies
|
|
> ```
|
|
|
|
 
|
|
|
|
> [!path] TV Shows
|
|
> ```bash
|
|
> ~/jellyfin/media/tvshows
|
|
> ```
|
|
|
|
 
|
|
|
|
> [!path] Music
|
|
> ```bash
|
|
> ~/jellyfin/media2/music
|
|
> ```
|
|
|
|
 
|
|
|
|
> [!path] Pictures
|
|
> ```bash
|
|
> ~/jellyfin/media2/photos
|
|
> ```
|
|
|
|
 
|
|
|
|
#### Admin panel
|
|
|
|
The admin panel allows for two things:
|
|
- manage users
|
|
- Manage add-ons
|
|
|
|
On the latter, several add-ons are required to watch live TV or link to other platforms like Kodi.
