The Free Software Media System

-Jellyfin is a personal media server. The Jellyfin project was started as a result of Emby's decision to take their code closed-source, as well as various philosophical differences with the core developers. Jellyfin seeks to be the free software alternative to Emby and Plex to provide media management and streaming from a dedicated server to end-user devices. +

+Jellyfin is a free software media system that puts you in control of managing and streaming your media. +

-Jellyfin is descended from Emby 3.5.2, ported to the .NET Core framework, and aims to contain build facilities for every platform. - -For further details, please see [our wiki](https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/wiki).

Please [obtain the ffmpeg package directly from the FFMPEG site](https://ffmpeg.org/download.html#build-linux) to use Jellyfin on Ubuntu. - -For instructions on using the repository, please see [our wiki](https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/wiki/Jellyfin-Debian-repository). - -## Building Jellyfin packages from source - -Jellyfin seeks to integrate build facilities for any desired packaging format. Instructions for the various formats can be found below. - -NOTE: When building from source, only cloning the full Git repository is supported, rather than using a `.zip`/`.tar` archive, in order to support submodules. - -### Debian/Ubuntu +Jellyfin is descended from Emby 3.5.2, ported to the .NET Core framework, and aims to contain build facilities for every platform. -Debian build facilities are integrated into the repo at `debian/`. +## Issues and Feature Requests -0. Install the `dotnet-sdk-2.2` package via [Microsoft's repositories](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet-core/2.2). -0. Run `dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc`. -0. Install the resulting `jellyfin_*.deb` file on your system. -A huge thanks to Carlos Hernandez who created the original Debian build configuration for Emby 3.1.1. -### Windows (64 bit) +

-A pre-built windows installer will be available soon. Until then it isn't too hard to install Jellyfin from Source. -0. Install the dotnet core SDK 2.2 from [Microsoft's Webpage](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet-core/2.2) and [install Git for Windows](https://gitforwindows.org/) -0. Clone Jellyfin into a directory of your choice. - ``` - git clone https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin.git C:\Jellyfin - ``` -0. From the Jellyfin directory you can use our Jellyfin build script. Call `Build-Jellyfin.ps1 -InstallFFMPEG` from inside the directory in a powershell window. Make sure you've set your executionpolicy to unrestricted. +## Contributing to Jellyfin - Additional flags: - * If you want to optimize for your environment you can use the `-WindowsVersion` and `-Architecture` flags to do so; the default is generic Windows x64. - * The `-InstallLocation` flag lets you select where the compiled binaries go; the default is `$Env:AppData\JellyFin-Server\` . - * The `-InstallFFMPEG` flag will automatically pull the stable ffmpeg binaries appropriate to your architecture (x86/x64 only for now) from [Zeranoe](https://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/) and place them in your Jellyfin directory. -0. (Optional) Use [NSSM](https://nssm.cc/) to configure JellyFin to run as a service -0. Jellyfin is now available in the default directory (or the directory you chose). Assuming you kept the default directory, to start it from a Powershell window, run, `&"$env:APPDATA\Jellyfin-Server\EmbyServer.exe"`. To start it from CMD, run, `%APPDATA%\Jellyfin-Server\EmbyServer.exe` +If you're interested in contributing, please see [our wiki for guidelines](https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/wiki/Contributing-to-Jellyfin).
