Jellyfin Installation fail on Ubuntu - asadkhan - 2024-05-10

Hello,

I am trying to install Jellyfin on server with Ubuntu Desktop 22.04. I am running into issue with error message on the terminal. I was able to install jellyfin-ffmpeg6. But still running into this issue.

Error message:

Try installing the jellyfin packages separately instead of using the metapackage.

Code:
sudo apt install jellyfin-server jellyfin-web

This is the recommended way of installing if you manually installed jellyfin-ffmpeg6 since the "jellyfin" metapackage wants to install ffmpeg5.
