What is the output of "cat /proc/mounts"?

I just posted an update following the reboot and then saw your simultaneous post with the question. I didn't see a "cat" folder but located COMPUTER > proc > mounts. Capture of its contents below.  Let me know if I have the incorrect file. Thanks!

Pretty sure this is breaking the scan.  Did you check the contents of /var/lib/jellyfin/root/default?

I just replied to your other post with the contents of proc/mounts. Now I see your post asking for the contents of /var/lib/jellyfin/root/default. 

I took a look at that. 

The folder contains 3 files:

- movies.collection
- options.xml
- Video 2023.mblink

movies.collection is a blank document.

Video 2023.mblink contains one line which reads "/media/innerspacelabs/Classy Bastard/Video 2023"

And options.xml contains the following code with the correct folder URL under "MediaPathInfo." Paste below:

Something is lingering, but I don't know where. Are you ok with purging Jellyfin and starting over? You have nothing you need to preserve, correct? If so, follow these directions to ensure we have a clean start.

Code:

sudo systemctl stop jellyfin
sudo apt purge jellyfin*

Now we are going to manually delete Jellyfin's data dir and config dir.

Code:

sudo rm -rf /var/lib/jellyfin /etc/jellyfin

Install from our repo via the auto-install script

Code:

curl https://repo.jellyfin.org/install-debuntu.sh | sudo bash

It will automatically start the Jellyfin service.

Thank you - that was my line of thinking for our next step as well. 

I ran all the commands you so kindly provided in order. When I ran the final curl command and hit return after the information appeared in the terminal, it showed a lot of info ending with an error message. I captured the error:

ERROR: Failed to update APT repositories. Something is wrong with your APT sources, GPG keys, or Internet connection. Try again shortly or use https://jellyfin.org/contact to find us for troubleshooting.

Does that matter or should I proceed with creating a user account and adding the folder? EDIT: Ah, I see I can't access the Jellyfin dashboard URL due to the error - it hasn't installed.

Here's a full capture of what it returned when I ran the curl command:

These PPAs are probably outdated/invalid. Remove them temporarily or permanently and try the curl command again.

A guide to removing PPAs.

https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2019/12/how-...ppa-ubuntu

[innerspaceboy]

OKAY! Progress!

I experimented a bit and found that by launching the Software & Updates GUI I could uncheck and update the installed PPAs to remove the problematic ones.

Then I re-executed the curl command and it installed Jellyfin successfully!

After installation it said to wait 15 seconds for Jellyfin to launch.

I opened the local IP and port address in my browser and it prompts me to select the only server (my PC) and then a window pops up with a "connect" button. Clicking that it returns the error, "We're unable to connect to the selected server right now. Please ensure it is running and try again."

I tried typing "jellyfin" in the terminal and see an error message. It returns this:

Are we getting close?

[innerspaceboy]

@TheDreadPirate Supplemental to my last post from 20 mins ago where I confirmed that the new curl command completed the installation successfully following the removal of the offending PPAs, I googled the error "The server is expected to host the web client, but the provided content directory is either invalid or empty: /usr/lib/jellyfin/bin/jellyfin-web" I found this - https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/issues/3638

So I ran this:

sudo ln -s /usr/share/jellyfin/web/ /usr/lib/jellyfin/bin/jellyfin-web

Now when I type "jellyfin" in terminal I get this:

And I still can't connect to the server via the web browser. It still prompts me to select the only server (my PC) and then a window pops up with a "connect" button. Clicking that it returns the error, "We're unable to connect to the selected server right now. Please ensure it is running and try again."

It looks like the red flag is this part of the message:

Main: Error while starting server.
System.IO.IOException: Failed to bind to address http://0.0.0.0:8096: address already in use.

I'll await your word before I touch anything else.

@TheDreadPirate WAIT -

I can connect to http://0.0.0.0:8096/

That pulls up a prompt to create a UN and PWD for Jellyfin. I created innerspacelabs again.

I then added the /media/innerspacelabs/Classy Bastard/Video 2023 folder.

IT'S SCANNING! IT'S AT 76%!

So the old path of http://127.0.0.1:8096/ doesn't work, but http://0.0.0.0:8096/ does!

That was just a wild guess but it appears to be building the library!

I'll update this once it's finished processing. Whew!

[TheDreadPirate]

You should be using "systemctl start jellyfin" to start it.

[innerspaceboy]

Okay. The initial scan of 6,600+ video objects took a mere 20 minutes which is fantastic.

At first glance I see that I've a lot of work ahead of me because I had constructed this library over the past decade for folder navigation, so there are no uniform file naming conventions which make the metadata-based navigation of Jellyfin a challenge. I'll have to explore the automated restructuring features of the application if I want to make this usable.

I'll keep my music library in Subsonic, as I've again used folder-based hierarchical structures for various sound libraries so they're better-navigated by folder path. That's okay.

And I was a bit spoiled by Subsonic providing a simple check box and custom URL field to access content from external devices outside the local network on Subsonic's parent domain. But I'll do a little reading as I'm seeing multiple avenues for remote access in Jellyfin, and I love JF's commitment to data privacy.

Thanks again for all the quick responses and for your patience while we got it working, especially on a weekday. I really appreciate all your help.

I think we can close out this request for trouble with the installation and the initial scan. I've saved everything you provided in my notes for future reference.

Cheers!
