Jellyfin on F4-424 Pro

Post by TekNick »

Has anyone successfully installed Jellyfin from the community apps on the 424 Pro? I don't see the 424 Pro listed as a model on the FFMPEG app, so I did not activate a driver, and after setting up Jellyfin, the path for FFMPEG in the Dashboard is not edit-able. I am using Plex in the meantime, but I am not a huge fan and prefer Jellyfin. I am not very familiar with Portainer or I would set it up that way, but I am also worried that I would still run into the same issue with FFMPEG. There aren't very many instruction videos for the 424 Pro and how to setup Jellyfin via Portainer either.

Jellyfin from community can be installed on F4-424. All the apps available for TOS5 x86_64 can be installed on TOS6. Make sure you have also all the dependencies apps installed

@outkastm thank you for the reply. I have everything downloaded and I installed everything as well. I did get confused though on the FFMPEG driver as the F4-424 Pro is not listed as a model for any of those drivers. With a little bit of research I enabled the HD driver, but I was still unable to use Jellyfin. I set everything up and it was pulling in my media, but I was unable to play anything back. I think it has something to do with a section in the dashboard about the FFMPEG path and nothing being populated there, as well as it not able to be edited.

Try to disable the hardware transcoding and see if the media are playing.

If path for ffmpeg is not populated automatically, some dependencies can missing and ffmpeg51 fail to load. Post a screenshot from Jellyfin WebUI app setting

Hello,
If you want to avoid compatibility issues and have a stable version of Jellyfin, you can use Docker to deploy a container and ensure a reliable service. As for assistance, I personally rely on AI tools, which help me a lot in improving my NAS.
