Installation error on ARM windows (Copilot+) - sham - 2024-11-04

Hi,

I downloaded the ARM64 version for my copilot+ pc (Galaxy book 4 edge) and when I try to install it the CMD windows popup and run some command and shut itself.  ( Jellyfin Repository)

I checked the logs and I see that it is trying to locate ffmpeg but can't find it.  I check the installation zip file and there is no ffmpeg included in it. Where can I download and install ffmpeg from ? and how to set this up ?

Anyone can please help with this ?  

I attached the log file.

We don't have jellyfin-ffmpeg builds for arm64 windows yet and you have to find a build of upstream ffmpeg 7.0, and place it to your jellyfin installation path. make sure the ffmpeg.exe, ffprobe.exe are placed alongside with jellyfin.exe

Thanks for quick reply.  I found one here :  Releases · tordona/ffmpeg-win-arm64

Can you please tell me which files do I need to copy ?  also where do I set the path ?  I am new to this and I don't know how to do this.

Thanks

Form your link, you download the ffmpeg-7.0-full-static-win-arm64.7z, unzip it (use a new enough 7z as the lzma version it is using is very, very new and is not compatible with old versions), copy the ffmpeg.exe and ffprobe.exe to the same folder as jellyfin.exe should be enough

Also please note that we don't provide hardware acceleration on window arm64 yet so you should not enable any of those in transcode settings.

I used 7zip to extract it and put the 2 .exe file in where jellyfin.exe is.  Now I am getting some missing dll errors;
   
   
   

Also attached the new log file

It seems like the guy compiling the ffmpeg does not really makes it static... You'd better find another build

Found this one  Releases · System233/ffmpeg-msvc-prebuilt  and it is working perfectly now Smiling-face

thanks for all your help.  Now I need to watch some tutorials to set all this up correctly
