installation - wbravin - 2023-09-07
Hello all
New to this environment. sorry if this question has already been answered
I am running truenas core (13.0.u5) as a proxmox 8 vm
I added jellyfin as an addon and it has installed correctly and has given me an IP address
I try to access jellyfin server from a google web page on a win 11 laptop
when i enter the address as 192.168.1.115:8096 i get a refused to connect error
I read many threads that relate to this issue and all speak about firewall (which i know nothing about)
when i go to my firewall setting in my win 11 laptop neither in outbound or inbound I do i see entries for jellyfin
What do i need to do to get this working?
Thank you in advance for you help
RE: installation - TheDreadPirate - 2023-09-07
You need to open the firewall for port 8096 on the jellyfin server. When you setup your jellyfin container you would have opened up port 8096 in the TrueNAS UI.

Thank you so much for your reply.
I expected such an answer. this is way beyond my knowledge.
As i mentioned this is a proxmox server with an installed truenas core vm.
In truenas there is (as i can see) any place to add a firewall rule to allow port 8096 to pass through.
I verified in the proxmox community and they mentioned that i can add this passthrough via the proxmox gui both at the server level and that of the VM
In the truenas vm I added
Direction: in
Action: accept
source: my router IP
source port: blanc
destination: my jellyfin IP
destination port: 8096
Ennable: check
protocol: TCP
I do not know if this is what you mean?
Should i do port forwarding on my asus router?
Am I on the right track at least?
Once again thank you
RE: installation - TheDreadPirate - 2023-09-08
The source shouldn't be your router's IP. That means it only allows incoming connections to port 8096 from your router. If the source field accepts subnets you should be adding home subnet.
Usually something like 192.168.1.0/24

Hello all
I finally got to properly install jellyfin and i loaded all the media...Great thank you all for your help
however now i cannot seem to play ant media (music movies or shows including youtube saved videos)
As i mentioned my jellyfin installation is installed ad an addon in a truenas core VM residing on a proxmox server.
Regardless
when i try to play media directly from the server via google chrome on a win 11 pc i get " This client isn't compatible with the media and the server isn't sending a compatible media format"
when i try to play the same media via the jellyfin media player I first get "Playback failed with error "loading failed". Retry with transcode? (Note this may hang the player.) and when i hit enter i get the same error as in the first case.
surely jellyfin media player should play anything on the server
what am i missing?
Thank you in advance for your guidance

We would need to see your jellyfin and ffmpeg logs. But it sounds like it is trying to transcode but can't. It wants to transcode because there is some incompatibility with the codec. Jellyfin Media Player relies on the underlying hardware supporting accelerated decoding of whatever codec you are using. We I would also need to know what hardware is in the computer you are trying to play on and info about the media (codecs).

Hello and thank you
first my gear
Server :dell r720 running Proxmox 8. On proxmox I am running OPnsense (not deployed). Home assistant OS and truenas core both as VM.
The server has 16 total core 128GB ram 3X6tb hgst and 3X2tb hgst
Proxmox passes through 1 usb to Home Assistant and a perc 710p HBA to truenas
proxmox also has a BT and a wifi USb
the dell has no video or sound cards installed
Jellyfin was added to truenas as an addon and i'm running version 10.8.10 and mounted 3 dataset Music Movies and Tv Shows
I mounted the 3 datasets again and received the same errors.
I downloaded the logs to the default subdirectory. How ever i need to figure out how to get to that directory
thank you for your patience
