I’m new to Jellyfin, and I’m having trouble getting started.

Goals:

  • Host my media on a Mac Mini server
  • Access my media in my home from 2 other devices (one is an Apple TV, the other is a Firefox browser on my HTPC)
  • Let my family members in other homes access my server via Roku or Apple TV.

So far I’ve set up Jellyfin Server on my Mac Mini (specs below). I can see my media. Server seems to be working.

But when I try to access my server via Jellyfin Vue on another device, I keep getting an “Unable to connect” message. I’ve tried different server addresses, but no luck. Any ideas on how to address?

Thank you Lemmy folks!
