As someone who doesn’t use jellyfin could you explain a lot clearer please? Is there a reason you are not allowing it run in home and letting it run it root?

Please be clearer in your answers, we cannot guess things

Are you having trouble setting up the Server? Client?
If you follow the official documentation regarding setting up Jellyfin, which part do you have a problem, which error message do you get, and/or what do you expect to happen differently?
no i installed it it just wont detect past my username after root i followed everything i installed it did the auto setup in web gui
the installation has already been everything is running it just does not detect videos and media uses 99 percent cpu on a 12 core 12 thread amd ryzen 5500 when i do select5 something i enable my nvidea hardware acceleration and rate limited stuff to avoid overheating and resource exhaustion
Can you show some screenshots of the issue. My guess is a permission issue based on the currently available info.
Hi,
it might not help you on your problem but you can try to setup Jellyfin with a container image like docker as i did for my jellyfin server.
It’s more simple than trying to install this software with yay.
the documentation is relatively clear and maintenance too. I use Jellyfin for 2 years now (but on armbian, not Archlinux)
I think you can try to follow this link https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Jellyfin
i did
never say never this only for local use but could be easy to manage
I run it as a local service on my server, seems pretty easy to me. The arch-wiki documents it excessively even.
Basically install the jellyfin and the jellyfin-web, fire up the browser to the web address, and start adding content that has basic unix permissions correctly set.
Edit: Have to enable and start service, but that’s basic imo.
