server - 0000000000 - 2024-07-01
So I installed the server and web .debs (jellyfin-server_10.9.7+deb12_amd64.deb and jellyfin-web_10.9.7+deb12_all.deb) and jellyfin service output is The server is expected to host the web client, but the provided content directory is either invalid or empty: /usr/lib/jellyfin/bin/jellyfin-web.
And the directory indeed does not exist. I don't know how to proceed.
RE: server - theguymadmax - 2024-07-01
Use this command to point it in the right direction
Code:
ln -s /usr/share/jellyfin/web/ /usr/lib/jellyfin/bin/jellyfin-webRE: server - TheDreadPirate - 2024-07-01

You say "Jellyfin service" but how did you try to start jellyfin? Did you simply type "jellyfin" or did you run "sudo systemctl start jellyfin"?
Also, why install the .debs directly instead of through our repo? We have a script that automates the entire Jellyfin repo setup process and installs the jellyfin packages.

yeah that worked, thanks, but now it's throwing other errors.

started both ways. it starts and stops fine.
because i don't want third party repos on the system.
why offer a clearly broken install method at all? why not just support flatpak as it works on literally all linux systems and is a one click install? (the "community maintained" flatpak hasn't been updated in two months and hasn't been compatible with the flatpak player in the same amount of time.

That usually indicates you have two instances running. You have it running as a service and you're also running it with the command jellyfin. You need to stop the service if you are running it manually.

Yeah, that makes sense. i stopped the service and installed via the repo method. rebooted and now when i start it via "jellyfin" i get

Sorry about the dump. i don't remember how to use a real forum.
Honestly, i might just wipe this install and use Arch. Probably wont have to deal with this via the AUR.
RE: server - theguymadmax - 2024-07-01
You also need to to install the ffmpeg.deb package, if you haven't already. When starting it manually you need to add in a system path argument for ffmpeg.
Code:
jellyfin --ffmpeg=/usr/lib/jellyfin-ffmpeg/ffmpegThe Jellyfin.Api.Auth.CustomAuthenticationHandler: CustomAuthentication was not authenticated. Failure message: Invalid token messages are common. You need to the clear the cache in your browser when you setup a new instance of jellyfin. And make sure you have no other clients open. When I set up a new instance I'll usually do it in a private browser window.
RE: server - TheDreadPirate - 2024-07-01
You should be using systemctl to manage jellyfin.
Stop the current instance you are running and use "sudo systemctl start jellyfin".

i reinstalled via repo so presumably that was done? but i'll try if next step doesn't work.
the flatpak server is using its own browser and i've yet to see one for the this standard install. so i don't know what cache to clear. or do i just open it in any browser? can i just use any firefox private tab and login there? that doesn't make sense. surly it gets its own browser.

I'm not sure what you mean here, but I'll try to clarify my point. Whenever I reinstall my server I'll make sure to run the setup wizard in a new private window, to make sure the it's not using a cached version of the old web sever. I use Firefox so a new private window works or just going into the settings and clear the cache. This is just for the first time setup, not for every time I access the webui.
I've never installed the deb packages, then install by repo, then have the service running, and have it running manually, so I'm sure somethings are bound to get messed up. As TheDreadPirate stated it should be manged using systemctl.
