Fix any permission mismatches between the web folder and Jellyfin server
-
Official Jellyfin Docker: The container is being run as a non-root user while having been built as a root user, causing the web files to be owned by root. To solve this, you can remove any lines like
User: 1000:1000
, etc. from the Jellyfin Docker Compose file. -
LinuxServer Docker Container: Set an environment variable
DOCKER_MODS=ghcr.io/jumoog/intro-skipper
to ensure the permissions are set correctly for the skip button:services: jellyfin: image: lscr.io/linuxserver/jellyfin:latest container_name: jellyfin environment: - PUID=1000 - PGID=1000 - TZ=Etc/UTC - DOCKER_MODS=ghcr.io/jumoog/intro-skipper
-
Hotio Docker Container: For the Hotio Docker Container, you can find the detailed solution to permission issues in the linked GitHub discussion: Hotio Docker Container Issue Solution.
-
Ubuntu/Debian: Run the following command to fix the permissions on
index.html
:sudo chown jellyfin /usr/share/jellyfin/web/index.html
Note that you might need to repeat this command after Jellyfin updates.
-
Windows: Locate
index.html
inC:\Program Files\Jellyfin\Server\jellyfin-web
and modify the permissions for your user to Full Control. After making this change, restart Jellyfin.
- Install from distro repositories - the jellyfin-server will execute as
jellyfin
user while the web files will be owned byroot
,www-data
, etc. This can likely be fixed by adding thejellyfin
user (or whichever user executes the jellyfin server) to the same group that owns the jellyfin-web folders. You should only do this if they are owned by a group other than root.
-
-
The official Android TV app do not support the skip button. For this app, you will need to use the autoskip option. Please note that there is currently an issue with autoskip not working because the apps never receive the seek command from Jellyfin.
- Build ffmpeg with chromaprint support using brew:
- macOS 12 or newer can install the portable jellyfin-ffmpeg
brew uninstall --force --ignore-dependencies ffmpeg
brew install chromaprint amiaopensource/amiaos/decklinksdk
brew tap homebrew-ffmpeg/ffmpeg
brew install homebrew-ffmpeg/ffmpeg/ffmpeg --with-chromaprint
brew link --overwrite ffmpeg
- Open ~/.config/jellyfin/encoding.xml and add or edit the following lines
- Replace [FFMPEG_PATH] with the path returned by
whereis ffmpeg
- Replace [FFMPEG_PATH] with the path returned by
<EncoderAppPath>[FFMPEG_PATH]</EncoderAppPath>
<EncoderAppPathDisplay>[FFMPEG_PATH]</EncoderAppPathDisplay>
- Follow the general installation instructions above
