Same problem on Manjaro -- 5.15.164-1-MANJARO (64-bit). Installed jellyfin-server from arch extras.
We don't maintain arch packages.
Jellyfin on Ubuntu/Debian/etc. is expected to run as a service under systemd
with the proper environment configuration. This is not set when you try to run jellyfin
directly in a shell, especially as root, and thus it will not work. If you really want to run Jellyfin this way (but don't, it's running as a service already), source /etc/default/jellyfin
first.
Your service log output from journalctl
looks correct as you mention. If you're constantly getting the select connection screen, something else is wrong, but it's not the packaging. Is this a new install or an older one, and have you tried clearing your browser caches and trying to connect again?
oh okay, thanks for the information.
i tried it in another browser, and looks like some kind of security settings in my firefox setup have blocked the working of the site... sorry :/ it works now on my system... @reidsanders propably the same problem?

I understand that arch packaging is not supported, but having the same error despite different systems is potentially useful information. In that vein: I had originally tried running with sudo systemctl enable --now jellyfin
without success. I bypassed the issue by running sudo ln -s /usr/share/jellyfin/web/ /usr/lib/jellyfin/jellyfin-web
. This solved the "invalid or empty" error. There was an additional issue where loading http://localhost:8096/web/ always just shows the splash screen. A hard refresh or deleting browser cache gets past the splash screen.
I had this issue happen on a fresh raspbian instance using the install script.
I was finally able to fix it by:
sudo apt reinstall jellyfin jellyfin-web jellyfin-server
I see the script only "Installs Jellyfin using the metapackage", i.e., apt install --yes jellyfin
. Could this be part of the issue?
As already mentioned multiple times in the last months in these issue it looks like there is some issue (propably in packaging) where the /usr/lib/jellyfin/bin/jellyfin-web is not correctly deployed or something like that. at least im getting these error on a freshly installed 10.9.9.0 installation on debian 12. when i type in
jellyfin
I also dont know where jellyfin is getting his data from these screen, but it cant be correct because i didnt changed the default folders for configs, data, chache and so on....
the interesting thing is, that it looks like jellyfin web is at least partly running, because the port 8096 is reachable and i get quested to what server i want to connect to. but when i click than on the localhost server to connect i get "We're unable to connect to the selected server right now. Please ensure it is running and try again"
here are the logs (/var/log/jellyfin/jellyfin20240815.log):
and the journcalctl -xeu jellyfin log looks the same. the jellyfin service is startet and shows no error.
