Jellyfin on FreeBSD

rabauke, 3 months ago

set the path to /use/local/bin/ffmpeg works fine for my installation (directly on freebsd 14 host. not jail. I fail to get hwaccel running, though…)

How did you set that path exactly?

I had the same problem, sorry to say i had to run it in a Linux Docker container instead to get it to work optimally.

Are you running it natively as “jail” ?

Procedure8295, 3 months ago

No, in a linux VM that then has a docker running in it.

Debian can also be FreeBSD wiki.debian.org/Debian_GNU/kFreeBSD

Unfortunately died last year

Unfortunately died last year

so… it can not be FreeBSD? :)

The fact that debian GNU/FreeBSD died before debian GNU/Hurd is kinda sad, honestly

Is it related to this issue posted to the bsd forks github?

I cant help you directly as I run Jellyfin on linux, but that should be your first port of call. just keep in mind jellyfin on FreeBSD is 100% unofficial so you are on your own.

This appears to be correct. See:

EncoderAppPath was simply not present at all in encoding.xml! There was only the display value: <EncoderAppPathDisplay /> My own installation was completely fixed by adding <EncoderAppPath>/usr/local/bin/ffmpeg</EncoderAppPath>
