SOLVED: Jellyfin server won't start

[tmsrxzar]

yea sounds like it boned the configuration directories

indicated by trying to load config from the wrong folder
old credentials which should be in the old config folder are not working

see https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/installation/linux

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/jellyfin-git

and most importantly https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/t...llyfin-git

which shows that you need to locate 'jellyfin.conf' which has your paths for data and config
