Whoops. My bad. I forgot to add jellyfin to the command.

Code:

sudo journalctl -u jellyfin -n 500 --no-pager

[Taanis]

this server is just a new server and right now i was just going to use jellyfin and connect to a nas with the movies on it. still working those issues out and that is how i found this error. been a few months since i have looked at it.

So what exactly was happening? It looks like it was working earlier today and then wasn't.

Do the following to start clean.

Code:

sudo apt purge jellyfin*
sudo rm -rf /etc/jellyfin /var/lib/jellyfin /var/cache/jellyfin
sudo apt install jellyfin

I was trying to connect to the server through my app on my tv and it was not responding. I logged onto the server and checked the status and saw that it was not running. I looked for some help and tried purging and reinstalling and now all i get is that error that the service counter failed. Now that I followed your commands it appears to be running. Not real sure why when I purged earlier it did not solve the problem. Thanks for your help.
