this was the best and most straight forward tutorial i've found for this. im only worried about what happens on a reboot but time will tell if everything starts up on its own. Id like to have the raspberrypi on a smart switch so i can turn it off and on when needed.

Glad it helped. Yep Jellyfin will auto start up on a reboot for you.

I installed PVE to RBP 4 then installed Jellfin docker in OVM with 1TB ssd external HD recently, it is running well

Great video! Thanks for sharing :) meanwhile I think you can use open media vault + file browser + jellyfin to build a nas, which makes it easier when transfer the videos

The official stance on Rpi for a Jellyfin server among the devs: "no, please don't do that"

@techwithdavidolding 11 ай бұрын

Yet here we are 🤣 I've gotta say its working well on the rapsberry pi 4 with media transcoding disabled. But yes - it seems mileage may vary especially with the newer ones. "Please AVOID Rapsberry Pi 5 for Jellyfin. The Raspberry Pi 5 lacks hardware encoders altogether. The Raspberry Pi Foundation has also not responded to requests for official comment from the Jellyfin team." jellyfin.org/docs/general/administration/hardware-acceleration/

Well that's disappointing, I just got a RPI5 in with the intent to do just this@@techwithdavidolding

I have no problem running it on my pi4 4gb ... stream to 3 devices no probs. Gotta have an ice cooler tower though coz just heat sink alone it sits around 74celcius.

umm about that, I tried installing Jellyfin on a Raspberry Pi 3 and it hanged when I tried to change the view to thumbnails. It hanged again when I added more media. and then again when I wasn't using it. sooo before I try to figure out what is going on. is a Raspberry Pi 3 ok for Jellyfin or too underpowered?

Please be careful with that chmod 777. I reckon some people will try and make their jellyfin installation accessible through the internet!

@techwithdavidolding 11 ай бұрын

Good point. From my understanding chmod 777 grants all users access to that folder. If people expose their Jellyfin servers to the internet via a reverse proxy or something similar - won't that expose only the Jellyfin service running and not the underlying folders? Or have I missed something in my understanding?

@@techwithdavidolding how you could see it is as follows: You have the following digits, 0 to 7: 0: No permission 1: Execute 2: Write 3: Write and execute 4: Read 5: Read and execute 6: Read and write 7: Read, write, and execute You also have users, groups and other/external, in this order. Using this information, 777 means the following: 7) User: read, write and execute permissions 7) group: read, write and execute permissions 7) external: read, write and execute permissions. Basically, everyone can do everything with a file. Please choose you permissions carefully, 777 is by default a bad decision. Maybe go for something like 755 (read, write and execute for the user, but read and execute for the group and other/external). Of course, a reverse proxy in front of Jellyfin mitigates the risks. Still, be careful :)

Silly question here. Why don't you just connect your hard drive to your PC and transfer the videos that way? Would that be a lot faster?

@techwithdavidolding 7 ай бұрын

Yep you could - I wanted to show how you would move files around all remotely. I've since learnt how to automate the process from end to end as well - so I no longer need to copy files from my PC to the hard drive as they just automatically appear. I break down how I did this in this video if you're interested - kzbin.info/www/bejne/aYKahnqdbbGFgKM

Thank you for easy tutorial its working but it only show single movie it only show when im searching what do i do

@techwithdavidolding Ай бұрын

Has it picked up all of your other movies -- and only has issues with search? Sounds like it might not have picked up all of your media files correctly. I'd take a look at the media management section and make sure that it has all of your movies/tv show folders set correctly then re-scan your entire library to help fix the search issue. Hope that helps.

When you talk about using tigervnc I assume you're already have an OS on the pi? Is there a specific one I need?

Performance-wise is this better than a 1L PC (an i3 8th gen to be specific)?

@techwithdavidolding Ай бұрын

Performance wise the i3 8th gen outperforms in almost every metric. www.cpu-monkey.com/en/compare_cpu-intel_core_i3_8100t-vs-raspberry_pi_4_b_broadcom_bcm2711 However the raspberry pi will most likely use significantly less power and make no noise (as there are no fans).

Trying to run the "chmod 777" command and I am given an error "Operation not permitted". I have tried adding sudo in front of this with nothing happening. Any advice on this?

@techwithdavidolding 3 ай бұрын

A successful chmod operation doesn't give any output. After running the 'sudo chmod 777' command it most likely worked. If you want to double check you can open a terminal window, navigate to the location of where the folder you want change the permissions is, type 'ls -l' This will output all the permissions of files and folders in your current working directory. You should see '-rwxrwxrwx' next to the folder you applied the chmod command against.

Can you access the server from anywhere or just within the household?

Just your household. If you want to access the server from anywhere I made a video on exactly how to do it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKW8mX9vnaiXg9k

Can I use the server locally ( without internet ) after installation ?

@techwithdavidolding 8 ай бұрын

Yes. Jellyfin works on your local area network. Any device connected to your internal network can access it - no external internet connection required.

@@techwithdavidolding thanks for your reply, can jellyfin works with good performance on raspberry pi 2 that connected to external nvme ?

@techwithdavidolding 8 ай бұрын

Hmmm...the pi 2 might be a bit underpowered to run this smoothly. I was running this on a pi 4 with 8gb of ram -- their tech specs say it can run with much less than that... but the pi 2 only has 1gb. You could always try and see what happens, if you do make sure to disable transcoding on the server settings to reduce load.

How Do you start the Server After a raspberry reboot for exampamle?

@techwithdavidolding 9 ай бұрын

When you install Jellyfin it registers itself as a service on your system which automatically starts up after a reboot. On my system it automatically started up -- which I could verify by running this after a reboot: sudo systemctl status jellyfin.service If that's not the case for you -- you could try creating a script which starts the service up and schedule a cron job which triggers the script on reboot. Command you will want in your script is: sudo systemctl start jellyfin.service The answers on this page will help you setup the permissions and cron on reboot - stackoverflow.com/questions/12973777/how-to-run-a-shell-script-at-startup Also if you're familiar with docker you could also look to start Jellyfin via a docker-compose file (something I've been meaning to do for a while now..) which will always restart/startup on reboots as well.
