Pi4 - Jellyfin server (feddit.de)

Heya, does anyone have experiences with using a pi4 as a Jellyfin media server? I'd like to set it up like that. Do you think a regular external HDD would work as storage space? Will it be possible to have like 3 to 4 devices streaming at the same time?Recommendations for tutorials are highly appreciated!

I used to have a RPi 4 as a Jellyfin Media Server. I never tried 3-4 simultaneous streaming, but I remember that, if no server transcoding was involved, it could deal with 2 simulteaneous streamings without problems. I used an external HDD also.

On tutorials, Jellyfin's webpage has a nice tutorial on the Debian installer page (https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/installation/linux). Also, the container version could be a good option.

Watch out for folder permissions so Jellyfin can access your external HDD.

Thanks a lot for the info! Just allow me a question: What was your reason to drop the setup?

You're welcome :)

I needed better transcoding support and switched to an Intel NUC - almost the same power draw, x86 software support and way better performance. But I still use Raspberry Pi for smaller projects and home automation.
