Hung Startup

[TheDreadPirate]

I chatted with @theguymadmax and we've both come to the same conclusion. Since the library XMLs and mblink files don't contain / as a library root folder, that indicates it is still in the database somewhere and now Jellyfin is in a difficult to recover from state if you don't know your way around SQLite.

We think the best path forward is to start over.

Code:

sudo systemctl stop jellyfin
cd /var/lib
sudo mv jellyfin origJellyfin
cd /etc
sudo mv jellyfin origJellyfin
cd /var/cache
sudo mv jellyfin origJellyfin
sudo systemctl start jellyfin

Then you will need to clear your browser cache or use an incognito/private browser window so that the startup wizard will load.
