jellyfin service failed - oziely - 2023-09-21
jellyfin service failed (core=killed, signal=abrt).
i use raspberry pi 4 with raspbian GNU/ linux 10 (buster).
after my plex service suddenly stopped working (after a year of working fine) for the same reason i tried using jellyfin and it worked for an hour.
after an hour i rebooted the pi and couldnt get to the web gui, so i checked and the service failed with the follwing prompt in systemctl:
Code:
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo systemctl status jellyfin

I would check the logs. /var/log/jellyfin/log_<date>.log
RE: jellyfin service failed - oziely - 2023-09-21
I have no file related to jellyfin in /var/log/
RE: jellyfin service failed - TheDreadPirate - 2023-09-21
There should be a jellyfin folder in /var/log/. How did you install Jellyfin?
Also run this command.
journalctl -xeu jellyfin

this is what i got from running the command:

RE: jellyfin service failed - TheDreadPirate - 2023-09-21
First, we highly discourage running Jellyfin on a RPi. If a client doesn't support your media's codecs none of the RPis have enough power to transcode.
With that said, if you are using a Debian based OS (likely) run the following commands. The last command is will run a script to automatically setup Jellyfin on a debian based system.
Code:
sudo apt remove jellyfin
sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jellyfin.list
curl https://repo.jellyfin.org/install-debuntu.sh | sudo bashRE: jellyfin service failed - oziely - 2023-09-21
In the curl command i get:
"Sorry we dont support the debian codename '' with this script,please consider a docker based or manual install instead"
RE: jellyfin service failed - TheDreadPirate - 2023-09-21
I guess we can try re-doing the install manually. Starting at "1. Install curl and gnupg if you haven't already""

Reinstalling doesnt seem to work either, i get the same problem from the start.
RE: jellyfin service failed - TheDreadPirate - 2023-09-22
It should just work™. Do you have SELinux install/enabled?
