I was watching a movie on a WebOS client and the screen went black. Thought the TV had turned itself off, so I power cycled it and was able to get back to the movie. A while later, it went black again and I could no longer connect to the JF server on any device while everything else on that machine is working. I rebooted a few times and no change.
The first time I ran "jellyfin status" I got an error about not finding content in the appropriate folder to start a web client, so I ran "apt install Jellyfin" and it upgraded some things, most notably ffmpeg went from 5 to 7.
But I still couldn't connect, so I ran "jellyfin status" again and these are the errors it's throwing (I saw the same version failed error before apt upgraded ffmpeg):
