Local host won't load? White screen - Media_Holder - 2025-08-07
I just started using jellyfin and I thought I successfully installed it and even uploaded one episode into my library. I tried to add the plugin ErsatzTV but when I tried to open jellyfin I only get a white screen and it never loads. I believe its not connecting to the local host but I'm not sure what's wrong. I deleted jellyfin and the tray and redownloaded it but it still doesn't work. I tried looking around on the forum but I haven't found a thread of someone talking about this issue. Any help will be appreciated.
I think I caused the problem when creating a base url. I was trying to connect ErsatzTV to my jellyfin server and I didn't know what my server address was. The guide online directed me to the base url and when I tried to make a custom one, that's when the white screen started happening. Did I completely mess up or is there a way for me to restart?

You can always restart. When you remove Jellyfin, some config files remain that would probably screw up a new install. Uninstall Jellyfin, then find the files based on this location guide: https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/administration/configuration/#server-paths
Delete those files, then reinstall. You should be good to go.
