Jellyfin

Jellyfin is a self-hosted AV streaming platform. It is a FOSS fork of the Emby project.

Upgrading

Upgrading your Jellyfin instance is a simple process, login to the webui/dashboard we provide for your service, find the "Service info" section in the page you are presented with, from there simply click "Restart" next to jellyfin, that will restart the app and also check for updates, please note that we are usually 2-3 days behind on updates!

Installation​

You can install Jellyfin using the following command.

box install jellyfin
Finish install in browser

Please make sure to finish the setup of the application through the web browser, and create your admin user.

Access​

You can access jellyfin through https://appxx.lw.hostingby.design/<yourusername>/jellyfin.

Library management​

By default, you home directory will be mounted in Jellyfin as /data/. There you will find all of the files from your home directory. If you setup an application like l3uddz autoscan with the *arrs, you may need to use a rewrite rule to replace /home/username with /data.

Jellyfin manages its users in a separate database. Please use the Web-UI to manage users and media.

Troubleshooting​

If you were early-access to the apprange and have been experiencing issues with Jellyfin, please change your transcode hardware acceleration to "none".

Jellyfin has a general Troubleshooting guide which we highly suggest you follow first in case you have any issues.

If you recently reinstalled Jellyfin, you may need to clear your cookies and cache for your appbox url to properly access the web interface.

If all else fails, consider putting in a ticket.
