SOLVED: Correct transcoding settings for the N100 Processor

[TheDreadPirate]

It happens because jellyfin is expecting a bunch of parameters that you aren't providing when you simply type "jellyfin".

This is from the jellyfin service file.

Code:

/usr/bin/jellyfin $JELLYFIN_WEB_OPT $JELLYFIN_FFMPEG_OPT $JELLYFIN_SERVICE_OPT $JELLYFIN_NOWEBAPP_OPT $JELLYFIN_ADDITIONAL_OPTS

You shouldn't ignore it. You should just not run jellyfin that way. Always always always use "sudo systemctl start jellyfin" (or status or restart or stop) to control Jellyfin.

ok, then how can I get this information without typing the command “jellyfin”?

sorry for asking so much, but I have never hosted a server on Linux.

You don't have to.  It is already part of the service config.

You need to start the jellyfin service with this command.

Code:

sudo systemctl start jellyfin

Unless you are a developer, you will never need to manually run jellyfin.  You will always use systemctl to start the service.

If you are just curious, /etc/default/jellyfin has all the parameters that Jellyfin uses when it is started with systemctl.

Hello!
I just installed Jellyfin Server on an Intel N100 system using Ubuntu 24.04.
Everything works great, but i have 2 more option available on the Dashboard regarding the supported codecs, that i don't know whether i should enable or not.
I am talking about "HEVC RExt 8/10bit" and "HEVC RExt 12bit" options.
Should i enable them on an Intel N100 system?
Screenshot attached:

The N100 supports decoding both HEVC RExt options in that list.
