I learned to build qpkg Jellyfin myself
and can help you

[robotreto]

so how about sharing your know-how? I too would be interested to know.

First of all download and install https://github.com/qnap-dev/QDK
Also you must be familiar with basic Linux commands

Your 2 lines are not helpful at all, are you just trolling ?

For me, to build locally, i use:
https://github.com/pdulvp/jellyfin-qnap?tab=readme-ov-file#-build-

Did you manage to build it ?

sadly I am stuck in dependency hell. WSL installs Debian 12, which no longer supports python2, but qdk2 requires it, and therefore can not be installed..... Found no obvious way to install python2 on bullseye... Tried to install Debian 11 (bullseye) in WSL, but also found no obvious way to do that.... Then tried to build qdk2 from source, which also failed because of dependencies.... This is soooo frustrating. Am 09.01.2024 um 18:21 schrieb pdulvp:

Now I tried WSL with Ubuntu 18, with that I can build it.
However the resulting qpkg is only about 180Mb.
The official is 230Mb, so I do not dare to install it as I suspect something is missing...

BTW : copy.bat tries to copy debug builds, not release. And jellyfin.controller 10.8.0 is flagged as "vulnerable"

[pdulvp]

Yes indeed, the copy.bat is not useful.
Normally everything is in jellyfin-server.sh for the server part.

The main issue is to have correct dependencies indeed. For embeeded ffmpeg, it requires almost everything as the "ld-linux-x86-64" embedded in qnap is too old to run it, so it requires a more up to date. (jellyfin-ffmpeg.sh)

But it you launch the fetch-stable, everything shall work in your WSL.
