Hi All,
I have managed to get the jellyfin app installed on a Toshiba TV running Vidaa
It took a bit of fettling but I noticed there are gaps in the documentation on the vidda.flummi.ch site
I guess this is aimed at non experts. Sorry about the formatting please don't have a go I am just trying to help a few people!!
Jellyfin for Vidaa install
As per the documentation page at https://vidaa.flummi.ch/documentation/self-hosted
You will need a linux device, this is based on a Debian release use apt
1.) Go to a suitable directory I used "~/Downloads"
2.) Run "git clone https://github.com/weinzii/vidaa-edge.git"
Note - if you haven't got git installed run "sudo apt install git"
3.) change directory "cd vidaa-edge"
4.) Install Node.js for your distro
On a raspberry pi follow https://pimylifeup.com/raspberry-pi-nodejs/
5.) Run "npm install" must be in the vidaa-edge directory
6.) Lookout for errors and warnings, I needed to run "npm audit fix" and "npm audit fix --force"
7.) Run "sudo npm install -g @angular/cli"
Note - I needed to run "sudo npm install -g npm@11.5.1" to bring npm up to date
8.) Run "sudo add --global nx"
9.) Run "sudo nx serve"
10.) The nx instance should now start up the first line will be "nx run vidaa-edge:serve:development"
Now you go to your TV
Firstly you will need to redirect the url of the linux machine to viddahub.com
In pihole (if you are using it) open the admin panel, goto Settings > Local DNS Records, add a local DNS record with the domain as vidaahub.com and the IP as your local ip for the linux machine.
Now on the TV goto settings > Network> Your connection and change from DHCP to manual and add your linux server IP in the DNS1 entry. Screenshots are shown here https://vidaa.flummi.ch/documentation/hosted (don't use the ip shown in the screen shots)
Open the browser
Open "https://vidaahub.com"
You should see the VidaaEdge web page
Use the plus icon in the top right
In the form add
App ID - com.jellyfin
App Name - Jellyfin
Thumbnail URL - A url that points to the jellyfin logo (I couldn't get this to work and my app icon is blank!!)
App URL - IP address of Jellyfin Server (for example "http://192.168.1.100:8096" (Note I tried both https: and http:, you might have to try both to get it to work.)
You should see a green message "App Installed"
If it has all worked there will be an additional app icon at the end of all the app icons on the Home screen, note it might be blank but will have a green dot to indicate a new app. Select the icon and Jellyfin should start up, login and remember to tick rember login.
Good Luck!
