What kind of hardware are you having issues with. If it is pretty recent hardware, you'd have to be mindful of which kernel you are running and backport newer kernels if needed. Arch is always running the latest with all the benefits and drawbacks that entails.

The browser is the GUI. Both for management and for playback. We also have a stand alone desktop app, Jellyfin Media Player.

For Arch you'd need to build from source

or install the flatpak.

Regarding your external drive, there is probably an ACL on /run/media/nick or /run/media/nick/media. You would see this as a "+" at the end of the permissions?

Code:

rwxr-xr-x+

You'd need to remove the ACL, edit the ACL to allow the jellyfin user, or manually mount it in /etc/fstab in a location of your choosing.

To remove the ACL.

Code:

setfacl -b -R /run/media/nick
