@joshuaboniface Should this be working?
The same issue is plaguing me. The install script does detect Trixie, and it does install the Trixie mirror.
However, the only packages in that mirror are two ffmpeg variants, but nothing else.
This leads to the script failing as follows:
> > Installing Jellyfin.
> Error: Unable to locate package jellyfin
For the time being, I copied the sources file the script installs to a version that refers bookworm.
(The install script overwrites the original one every run.)
Re-running the install script now continues installing jellyfin, albeit the variant of the bookworm mirror.
At first sight, the installation works using this workaround.
As to why I am taking this approach: I have an Intel Arc A310, which needs a slightly newer kernel than bookworm offers, so I upgraded to Trixie.
I am also trying to get hardware acceleration to work, and as the docker containers are based on Bookworm, I figured a native installation on Trixie would reduce possible complexities and issues.
update: because of reasons not related to Jellyfin, I am switching over to Arch Linux for that machine, so I can give no further feedback on this setup, other than it seemed to work for the few hours and viewing sessions I used it for.
addendum / tangent: I had quite some issues with hardware transcoding, but ultimately I had it working with regular mpeg2 sources (DVD). What did not work was converting my HEVC 10bit source (BD UHD). If I run into those issues once more, I'll create a dedicated thread after searching the forum some more. ;-)
