4 years ago Ok so what do I use to run jellyfin? the file I mention of the jellyfin exactable in the folder download from the main site? Cause that seems to work, I can get local host and to the Welcome to Jellyfin! setup. This page says to use the App https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/administration/installing.html
Very confusing.

4 years ago I'm having the same issue. (Late 2014 mac mini with macOS 10.15.1 here.)
I first tried Jellyfin portable 10.5.4 as the site's stable macos download button links to it. That seemed to sort of work but it was pretty confusing and GateKeeper did NOT like all the dependencies (I manually rightclicked to open each dependency, then clicked "still open". Sometimes had to open up privacy settings and hit "Allow Anyway."). After running the executable a number of times it finally opened settings in safari and I was able to add a library (on a mounted external drive, if that's important) and make an account/login. Jellyfin seemed to get stuck while indexing my book library so I waited a bit and then closed the terminal window. After starting the executable again it automatically opened safari but I could no longer access Jellyfin, just 'localhost not found.'
I've tried both Jellyfin for macOS 10.4.3 and Jellyfin for macOS 10.4.3 - Phoenix Edition. They are both much easier to install but I have the same 'localhost not found' issue. Interestingly neither of these two have auto-opened a browser.
I wonder if there are some conflicting files from different versions, but it is hard to tell as there is no uninstall option. I have tried deleting ~/Library/Application Support/jellyfin to let it regenerate but that doesn't seem to have changed anything.

4 years ago @babyfish21 It's almost done. It's going to be a lot simpler to start.

4 years ago @anthonylavado Thank you very much. The newest version works for me.
So I can see the Jellyfin menu item. It won't load localhost. I am unable to find the log files. Any idea what's going on? Im running Jellyfin for macOS 10.5.2 - Phoenix Edition Edit Jellyfin server is showing in activity monitor.
Following the steps posted in https://www.reddit.com/r/jellyfin/comments/dgovbc/calling_all_macos_users/ little debugging:
If you open the Activity Monitor, is “jellyfin” running?( No , only the server, jellyfin shows up then disappears.) If so, select it and click force quit, and quit the menu bar app as well (done) try again, )I have tried several times) if it still doesn’t work, use the menu bar icon to “Show Logs” (this does nothing, I am unable to find the log files) Grab the most recent log, open it in TextEdit( see above comment) Remove any information you don’t want me to see (like change names or anything) Grab the piece from the last startup attempt Post it here, or somewhere else like Pastebin
