RE: Movies Won't Stream, Getting "Server Error" - LLStudio - 2024-07-20

I woke up and tried a few other methods to install jellyfin ffmpeg6 and none have worked. I'm a bit unsure of using the other methods as I have had much trouble getting everything else to work, but it can't hurt to try at this point. I'll update with what worked, if anything.

Edit 1: Using the Repository (automatic) method has not installed the ffmpeg I needed.

Edit 1.1: Using the .deb packages (very manual) method and downloading
jellyfin-web_10.9.7+ubu2404_all.deb
package from the repository at
Home > Server > Ubuntu Linux Packages (.deb) > Current Stable (v10.9.7) > AMD64
did download the ffmpeg6 and now I can stream my movies. I'm not sure why the other methods didn't work, so I'll leave this open a while longer in case mods want to ask questions to rule out user error.

The recommended way to install jellyfin on Ubuntu is to run this script
Code:
curl -s https://repo.jellyfin.org/install-debuntu.sh | sudo bash

Then set up the server from http://localhost:8096/, no need for anything else in the terminal.
