Connecting jellyfin with our seedbox and configuring is very простой just follow the below steps and вы будете be ready to stream your media:
Step1: Login на ваш Evoseedbox личный кабинет and look for Jellyfin in приложениеs section
Step2: Нажмите на the install кнопка and Jellyfin will install automatically on вашим seedbox.
Step3: Once you are done with the installation of jellyfin, open jellyfin с вашего личный кабинет. Выберите your preferred language из dropdown menu and click on next.
Step 4: Now we нужно set up a имя пользователя and пароль that will be used every time we try to login into the jellyfin account. We can leave it blank in the пароль area if we don’t wish to set a пароль.
Step 5: The next step is to set up a media library, i.e. setting up the content we хотите stream using jellyfin. Нажмите на the add media library.
Step 6: In the content type, we нужно 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: Нажмите на the “+” icon beside folders and set up the path for your media. Here you нужно select the path wherein all your movies and tv shows are downloaded.
Step 8: Выберите 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 кнопка.
Step 9: Нажмите на the Next кнопка as you have already set your preferred metadata languages.
Шаг 10: Check in both the boxes and click on the Next кнопка. Allow remote connection will let you stream your media from different devices like your android phone.
Шаг 11: Нажмите на the Finish кнопка and you are done with configuring jellyfish for вашим seedbox.
That was the whole process of configuring jellyfin with a seedbox. Now вы будете be redirected to a sign-in page. Here you нужно log in using the имя пользователя and пароль that we had настроитьd earlier.
nce you sign in вы можете view the folder that you have created. Jellyfin will automatically show the metadata that it has fetched. Here вы можете see that the posters of the movie are visible so это the metadata that jellyfin fetches automatically из internet.
You are now all set to enjoy your Movie night or maybe just watch an episode over lunch с вашего mobile.
