Jellyfin Media Player broken - yodamin - 2025-11-19
Hi Everyone,
I am unsure if this is the proper forum thread.
I did not see one that's specifically mentioned "Help with installing Jellyfin or Jellyfin Media Player".
Please move the question to the proper thread if I am wrong?
I am using EndeavourOS.
I have also posted this in their forums and been told it is MOST likely caused by the ongoing DDOS against the AUR.
I was wondering if their is anyway I could download the files I need from a jellyfin source?
and/or
I wanted to present the issue to the experts with Jellyfin; in case it is NOT an issue with downloading a dependency.
Below is my system inxi and I've attached a txt file of the upgrade bash output showing the errors.
TYVM to everyone for Jellyfin and also your support.

Hello.
EndeavourOS is a Archlinux based distribution.
You need to update the qt5-webengine package. This package takes a while to compile, so it's best to download a pre-compiled package from https://sourceforge.net/projects/fabiololix-os-archive/files/Packages/
If you use yay to manage AUR packages, you can go to the folder where you downloaded the package and install it like this:
yay -U qt5-webengine-5.15.19-4-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
After that try to install again jellyfin media player.

Hi Miles,
TYVM Sir.
I will try this as soon as I can, work permitting.
Worse case Friday night/Saturday morning.
