Hi, I have installed Jellyfin from rpmfusion by following the instructions on the Jellyfin web site for Fedora. After activating Developer Mode on my TV I used Docker to install the Jellyfin client on the TV. I ran the Jellyfin script to open up Jellyfin in Firewalld (After starting FirewallD as the service seemed to not have been activated after the upgrade to F40). I then enabled and started the Jellyfin service on my pc to start the server. When I invoke Jellyfin on the TV and supply the require IP address of my pc and required port, the Jellyfin client tells me the server (I think) needs to be upgraded and gives me the Github URL to get the upgrade. Hence I need to approach the Rpmfusion guys to see if they can upgrade the server to the latest version.
regards, Steve

Have a look at https://rpmfusion.org/ReportingBugs - it tells you to open a bug at https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/.
You can also contact the developers at https://lists.rpmfusion.org/archives/ but that's not the ideal. Follow the instructions about reporting bugs.
Hope this helps!

I ran into the same problem and I've been able to work around it. RPMFusion currently distributes version 10.8.13 of Jellyfin. My TV client complained that this was too far out of date. The current release of Jellyfin is 10.9.6. The guy who's maintaining the Jellyfin packages on RPMFusion has built packages for 10.9.6 but for whatever reason those packages haven't been published into the repository yet. I manually downloaded his packages from the build section of RPMFusion and installed them and they worked, fixing my problem. The complete list of Jellyfin builds is here: https://koji.rpmfusion.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=648 Clicking a link there will take you to a page that has links for the RPM downloads from that build.

Thanks David, I uninstalled 10.8.13 from the repositories and downloaded and installed the package from the tar file at the github URL and followed the manual install instructions on their web site, I didn't download the Fedora rpm's they had as like rpmfusion they were for 10.8.13 not 10.9.6. The github URL supplied by the client linked to a git version of Jellyfin, which only provided a zip file to download, but that zip file didn't seem to be set up to run Jellyfin on Linux, but that git version also had a folder that made it look like that package had patches to upgrade the version to 10.10.0. I would prefer the rpmfusion if I could get it assuming the 10.9.6 implementation is the same as their 10.8.13 implementation. With the server installed on my pc, when I access the server from a browser on my pc, the installed 10.9.6 implementation seems to be lacking features that the 10.8.13 version had, particularly from the admin interface, that make it simple to get back to the dashboard from the configuration interface. I will need to do some investigation, but 10.8.13 had a media type of "Photos" which 10.9.6 doesn't have, it seems to have "Home Movies and Photos", which seems to be defective. When I add my photos as a library it seems to be duplicating every photo in the library, which it doesn't seem to do from a "Movies" library, which 10.8.13 didn't seem to do. All the photos in the libraries I've created are all ".jpg" files, which Jellyfin seems to be having difficulty displaying, but at the moment I'm not sure if it can't or the speed of my NAS is making it very slow to load the files. I'll need to compare that with the loading of movies from my NAS as well. The other issue I have after setting up the activation of the server as a service, is that the client on my TV can't auto detect the server even though they are both on wifi and the server IP address hasn't changed from what the client was configured to when I installed it.

Sorry, I don't have any insight into any of that. I only use Jellyfin for streaming video. I use Piwigo for my photo gallery.
For Jellyfin bugs I have found the Jellyfin Chat on Matrix a good first stop, There aren't many (any?) Linux users there but they do know the internals of the application itself very well. See https://jellyfin.org/contact

Here is the answer to your titular question: https://lists.rpmfusion.org/archives/.
