jellyfin service failed

[oziely]

jellyfin service failed (core=killed, signal=abrt).
i use raspberry pi 4 with raspbian GNU/ linux 10 (buster).
after my plex service suddenly stopped working (after a year of working fine) for the same reason i tried using jellyfin and it worked for an hour.
after an hour i rebooted the pi and couldnt get to the web gui, so i checked and the service failed with the follwing prompt in systemctl:

Code:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo systemctl status jellyfin

EDIT: if it helps after service restart its running for few ms and then fails again 
   
i am lost, help please.
thanks in advance.

I would check the logs. /var/log/jellyfin/log_<date>.log

[oziely]

I have no file related to jellyfin in /var/log/

There should be a jellyfin folder in /var/log/. How did you install Jellyfin?

Also run this command.

journalctl -xeu jellyfin

[oziely]

this is what i got from running the command:

-i have no folder of jellyfin in /var/log/.
-i installed it in my raspbian pi 4 with this guide: https://pimylifeup.com/raspberry-pi-jellyfin/

First, we highly discourage running Jellyfin on a RPi.  If a client doesn't support your media's codecs none of the RPis have enough power to transcode. 

With that said, if you are using a Debian based OS (likely) run the following commands.  The last command is will run a script to automatically setup Jellyfin on a debian based system.

Code:

sudo apt remove jellyfin
sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jellyfin.list
curl https://repo.jellyfin.org/install-debuntu.sh | sudo bash

[oziely]

In the curl command i get:
"Sorry we dont support the debian codename '' with this script,please consider a docker based or manual install instead"

[TheDreadPirate]

I guess we can try re-doing the install manually. Starting at "1. Install curl and gnupg if you haven't already""

Reinstalling doesnt seem to work either, i get the same problem from the start.

[TheDreadPirate]

It should just work™. Do you have SELinux install/enabled?
