Install Jellyfin 10.9 unstable on debian 12.5

[pixel24]

Hi@all,

I've set up a test system with Debian 12.5 and want to test the current Unstable version (10.9) on it. I've included the main repository like this:

Code:

deb [arch=amd64] https://repo.jellyfin.org/debian]https://repo.jellyfin.org/debian bookworm unstable

What I still need are the appropriate entries for FFMpeg 6.x and the plugin repository.
Could someone tell me how to include that in the:

/etc/apt/sources.list.d/jellyfin.list

all the best

jellyfin-ffmpeg is in the same repo as the rest of jellyfin.

https://repo.jellyfin.org/?path=/ffmpeg/...-6.x/amd64

Should install with "sudo apt install jellyfin-ffmpeg6". It is available in the stable repo. Not sure about the unstable repo.

The plugin repo should be part of the unstable install, though a lot of plugins still haven't been migrated, AFAIK.

No, as far as I can see, it's not included in unstable. With the above-mentioned repository:

Code:

root@media02:~# apt search jellyfin
Sortierung… Fertig
Volltextsuche… Fertig
jellyfin/unbekannt 2024031105+deb12 all
  Jellyfin is the Free Software Media System.
jellyfin-server/unbekannt 2024031105+deb12 amd64
  Jellyfin is the Free Software Media System.
jellyfin-web/unbekannt 2024031105+deb12 all
  Jellyfin is the Free Software Media System.

Figured. You will need to include a stable config to get jellyfin-ffmpeg6.

So I need to create the source.list like this:

Code:

deb [arch=amd64] https://repo.jellyfin.org/debian bookworm unstable
deb [arch=amd64] https://repo.jellyfin.org/debian bookworm main

?

[TheDreadPirate]

I don't have access to my server at the moment to verify, but this is what the debuntu install script adds.

Code:

cat <<EOF | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jellyfin.sources
Types: deb
URIs: https://repo.jellyfin.org/${REPO_OS}
Suites: ${VERSION}
Components: main
Architectures: ${ARCHITECTURE}
Signed-By: /etc/apt/keyrings/jellyfin.gpg
EOF
echo

So I think "deb [arch=amd64] https://repo.jellyfin.org/debian bookworm main" is correct.

If I create the file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jellyfin.list like this and then run:

Code:

apt update
apt install jellyfin

the installation completes without any errors. However, when I subsequently visit the URL:
http://media02.lan.example.de:8096/

Instead of the setup assistant as in 10.8.13, only the following appears: a symbol representing the server "media02", but attempting to connect does not work.

[TheDreadPirate]

That sounds like browser caching. Also, keep in mind that the ${REPO_OS}, ${VERSION}, and ${ARCHITECTURE} are variables in the script and needs to be replaced with debian, bookworm, and amd64 respectively.

Have you consider using docker for jellyfin unstable? I run unstable in docker alongside my direct install of 10.8.13.

Strangely, it works under the IP but not under the FQHN. I've checked DNS resolution from both the client and the Jellyfin host using dig.

The resolution works.
