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 run my Jellyfin server with 2 network hard drives. It’s a perfectly fine way to do it.

    Do note however that you’ll need a third device to actually run the Jellyfin server. Jellyfin for Android is a client app. The Jellyfin server can be run on ARM devices if they are running Linux, but not on Android.
