Only LTS versions of Ubuntu are supported. I recommend using Docker instead.

You COULD "lie" and change the jellyfin repo at /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jellyfin.sources and change the "suites" field to "noble". With the understanding that Jellyfin could potentially break if a dependency is updated at a later date.

Hi all,

I'm completely new here, this is my first post. And this will be my first ever install of Jellyfin. I tried the advanced method:

If that worked before, it doesn't anymore. (So I hope this post helps others avoid wasting time trying):

I'm on Ubuntu 24.10 (oracular). I tried pretending I'm still on Ubuntu 24.04 (noble) as a workaround using the method indicated in the quote. However, when installing via: sudo apt install jellyfin-server , the jellyfin-ffmpeg package was not available and my system defaulted (i.e., fell back) to installing the standard ffmpeg package.

I then tried installing it manually from the Jellyfin repo, but got the following error:



testnick@test-ubuntu:~$ sudo apt install jellyfin-ffmpeg7

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have

requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable

distribution that some required packages have not yet been created

or been moved out of Incoming.

The following information may help to resolve the situation:



Unsatisfied dependencies:

jellyfin-ffmpeg7 : Depends: libx265-199 (>= 3.5) but it is not installable

Error: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

So it seems its impossible to have both a clean Ubuntu 24.10 (oracular) system and a native Jellyfin installation simultaneously if you need the extra features in jellyfin-ffmpeg. Two years is too long to wait between Ubuntu versions given the level of exciting changes being added every 6 months with interim releases.

I am going to resort to Docker. Are there any disadvantages to the Docker method? E.g., performance wise (hardware acceleration/transcoding etc)?

Regards,
Nick

AFAICT, there is no measurable difference when I switched to Docker.
