Step1: Login naar uw Evoseedbox klantengebied and look for Jellyfin in de apps section
Step2: Klik op the install knop and Jellyfin will install automatically on uw seedbox.
Step3: Once you are done with the installation of jellyfin, open jellyfin van uw klantengebied. Selecteereer your preferred language from the dropdown menu and click on next.
Step 4: Now we need to set up a gebruikersnaam and wachtwoord that will be used every time we try to login into the jellyfin account. We can leave it blank in the wachtwoord area if we don’t wish to set a wachtwoord.
Step 5: The next step is to set up a media library, i.e. setting up the content we want to stream using jellyfin. Klik op the add media library.
Step 6: In the content type, we moet mention the type of media that like movies, Tv shows, music, etc. write the name of the folder that you wish to give to the library, this folder name will be displayed when you use jellyfin to stream your media.
Step 7: Klik op the “+” icon beside folders and set up the path for your media. Here you need to select the path wherein all your movies and tv shows are downloaded.
Step 8: Selecteereer the preferred language in which you wish to download the metadata(Ratings, cast, genre, etc.) for all your movies, and then click on the OK knop.
Step 9: Klik op the Next knop as you have already set your preferred metadata languages.
Stap 10: Check in both the boxes and click on the Next knop. Allow remote connection will let you stream your media from different devices like your android phone.
Stap 11: Klik op the Finish knop and you are done with configuring jellyfish for uw seedbox.
That was the whole process of configuring jellyfin with a seedbox. Now u zult be redirected to a sign-in page. Here you moet log in using the gebruikersnaam and wachtwoord that we had configureererd earlier.
nce you sign in u kunt view the folder that you have created. Jellyfin will automatically show the metadata that it has fetched. Here u kunt see that the posters of the movie are visible so dit is the metadata that jellyfin fetches automatically from the internet.
You are now all set to enjoy your Movie night or maybe just watch an episode over lunch van uw mobile.
