SOLVED: Jellyfin destroys itself.

Then I might as well reinstall jellyfin. It's the same thing. I can live with the lost paths. However, I will have to create all access data again. Where are these saved?


Edit:
Problem solved.

I backed up the XMLs you mentioned from the config folder, and then deleted them from the config folder and then restarted the server. This caused it to recreate the files and start correctly.

Then I stopped the server again and just copied the system.xml from the backup folder back into the config folder and replaced the newly created one. And lo and behold, it still starts correctly again and all the basic settings are back

So your tip was worth its weight in gold. Thank you very much


But one more question.

Is it better to use the server without hardware acceleration or with?

When I activate hardware acceleration, the following fields are automatically activated: H264, VC1, HEVC 10Bit and VP9 10 Bit.

Do I need all these settings?

My movies and series are available in the formats MKV, m2ts, avi, mpeg and mp4.
