127.0.0.1 that should be 0.0.0.0.1.) Check the jellyfin logs and see what kind of errors youre getting when adding media folders.
2.) check your firewall rules and make sure you’re allowing access to the jellyfin port
To add, make sure jellyfin has the proper permissions to access the disks. I had a helluva time figuring it out back when I started with it a couple years back.
I’m assuming you installed Jellyfin server. How did you install it? And how much experience do you have with the installation method you used?
You shouldn’t need to use the aur unless cachy is restricting your repo access. It’s all in arch extras.
If this is your first time trying to selfhost I highly recommend Cosmos Cloud, I’ve been using it for 6 months and it’s made every step of the way so much easier for me. It manages docker containers and has included reverse proxy and security features, with paid option for personal VPN like tailscale.
Most services work perfectly from a catalog of pre-built docker compose files, but Jellyfin I remember I did have to go to the internal docker IP on the actual host machine to set the server up and working properly from other machines
If it is linux check the folder permissions. All issues I had with it and what posts I have seen online all go back to Jellyfin not having access to the folders because it was set for e.g. root user and Jellyfin was not running as that (it shouldn’t of course,just change the folder permissions to include Jellyfin).
If you installed via docker I think there is a setting to define which pernissions its container should get, maybe that is also set wrong.

How did you install Jellyfin? Just like on a Windows/Mac/Linux machine? Docker?
The other device, is it on the same network and/or subnetwork as the Jellyfin install? It will not do remote connections out of the box.
