Arch Linux User Repository

If you have jellyfin-bin installed, remove it.

If you are on x86_64, install jellyfin-server and jellyfin-web from [extra].

If you are on archlinuxarm, install jellyfin-web from [extra] and this package. If you are on aarch64, the arch4edu repository also provides prebuilt binaries for this package and all its dependencies if you want a quick installation.

Would you be willing to also make a package for jellyfin-web-bin ? The git one is slow to build on low power devices, and it could happen that it becomes incompatible with jellyfin-serer-bin being ahead of the stable release. Would be nice to have a matching -web-bin package.

@void09 Hi, I can't find your comment but I think what you need is the jellyfin-bin package which has previously been removed from AUR. I'm not sure if it's a good idea to add it back.

@marsxyz that's because the package is out of date and that version is not hosted anymore. If you edit the PKGBUILD with the latest version and its checksum it will install just fine.

Hopefully the maintainer will update the PKGBUILD.

Not usable right now because the link to download the binary are dead. They have been for a while now.

Consider switching to other packages.

update it

Hey there, with recent updates I began experiencing playback issues on Android TV and LG Web OS apps.

On my troubleshooting analysis I noticed, that my archlinuxarm installation from this AUR package didn't use jellyfin-ffmpeg in Jellyfin streaming logs:

ffmpeg version n7.0.1 Copyright (c) 2000-2024 the FFmpeg developers

So I modified "/var/lib/jellyfin/config/encoding.xml":

<EncoderAppPath>/usr/lib/jellyfin-ffmpeg/ffmpeg</EncoderAppPath>

<EncoderAppPathDisplay>/usr/lib/jellyfin-ffmpeg/ffmpeg</EncoderAppPathDisplay>

Log After that:

ffmpeg version 6.0.1-Jellyfin Copyright (c) 2000-2023 the FFmpeg developers

Perhaps it should somehow be baked into this package?

Please update it, url is not valid anymore

You may also want to change the following line in jellyfin.conf from

JELLYFIN_ADD_OPTS="--webdir=/usr/share/jellyfin-web"

to

JELLYFIN_ADD_OPTS="--webdir=/usr/share/jellyfin/web"

updated PKGBUILD for 10.9.6

For anyone trying to install 10.9.1 or 10.9.2 I got this working by editing the PKGBUILD source lines to:

source_x86_64=("https://repo.jellyfin.org/files/server/debian/stable/v${pkgver}/amd64/jellyfin-server_${_pkgver}_amd64.deb")

source_aarch64=("https://repo.jellyfin.org/files/server/debian/stable/v${pkgver}/arm64/jellyfin-server_${_pkgver}_arm64.deb")

source_armv7h=("https://repo.jellyfin.org/files/server/debian/stable/v${pkgver}/armhf/jellyfin-server_${_pkgver}_armhf.deb")

Change pkgver=10.9.1 at the beginning of the file to whichever version you are trying to install.

If you are installing 10.9.2 change the 3 checksum lines to

sha256sums_x86_64=('5ec7de506e5ef6d25551a9e11b205947a988af647570f7ee158e98ea495e181b')

sha256sums_aarch64=('c243996b90a02bd367b5203471082c050cc27b3177a8de22e1f92341ba72463e')

sha256sums_armv7h=('c27b8222afd8a75dce8ed33b3e6dd2cc833628c8ef9dd53dfaaf146587e708fd')

Save it, then run makepkg -si (add --skipinteg if you are installing 10.9.1 since the checksums I provided are for 10.9.2).
