Hello everybody!

For about the 5th time, I am installing Jellyfin. I object to paying Plex for Plexpass, as all the files come from my own servers. I get so far and then just give up, delete and go off on another project before realising I want access to just my music, 200k tracks, so install it again.

I access it from tailscale and adding a portion of my music library seems to work ok, but when I add the main library, it barfs and gets stuck. It has been at 72% for the last 30 minutes and I have a feeling if I refresh, it will show it as dead.

It is on an Mac Mini with a Intel i5 and plenty of disk space. currently uptime is showing that it is running at 1.26. I have just tried to log in on Safari, main browser is Vivaldi. Just got the circle trying to log in.

Do I have to bite the bullet and gove Plex money. I can RDP to the Mac which is running Monteroy I think. Connection to the server just times out on Safari, saying it could not connect to the server.

God I hate technology rotfl
