Jellyfin Android TV + router USB shared storage? (lemmy.ca)

Hello!

My router is an Archer AC1350 and it has a USB port for plugging an external HDD as a network shared storage.

I was wondering if anyone tried that kind of setup with Jellyfin on Android, specifically on an Nvidia Shield?

Does it work? How well? If not, then should I invest in another kind of network storage soluion?

I don't use that kind of setup but in general it depends on several factors.

Is your server with Jellyfin on connected to this via wifi or ethernet. If wifi then the connnection quality and speed may matter, if your client needs to have Jellyfin do the trandcoding this might be an issue if its a bad wifi connection. Also if you have high quality content, like 4k resolution, that gets streamed directly this might also be a bottleneck if it goes via wifi.

Also depends how many simultaneous users you will have, for one user this might all be good, but once two or three share the connection it might create issues.
