This recipe is for setting up Jellyfin with HAProxy.
Network Prerequisites are:
- Layer 2 Network Switches
- Network Gateway is
192.168.1.5 - Network DNS server is
192.168.1.5(Note: your Gateway hardware should enable you to a configure DNS server(s), like a UniFi USG Gateway, so set the following: primary DNS192.168.1.254which will be your PiHole server IP address; and, secondary DNS1.1.1.1which is a backup Cloudfare DNS server in the event your PiHole server 192.168.1.254 fails or os down) - Network DHCP server is
192.168.1.5
Other Prerequisites are:
- Synology NAS, or linux variant of a NAS, is fully configured as per SYNOBUILD.
- Proxmox node fully configured as per PROXMOX-NODE BUILDING.
- pfSense is fully configured as per HAProxy in pfSense
- Jellyfin LXC with Jellyfin SW installed as per Jellyfin LXC - Ubuntu 18.04.
Tasks to be performed are:
- 1.00 Setup Jellyfin and perform base configuration
- 2.00 Jellyfin Common Settings

You can create individual users specifically for remote access for use on smartphones, tablets and notebook. These remote access users will have their media transcoded to a preset bit rate. The only issue is 4K HDR - the GPU cannot transcode 4K.

Use the Jellyfin web interface and go to the Configuration Dashboard Server > Advanced > Plugins > Catalogue and install the following Plugins:
It's recommended to install the Kodi Sync Queue plugin into the Jellyfin server as well. This will help keep your media libraries up to date without waiting for a periodic resync from Kodi.
Install the Jellyfin plugin Kodi Sync Queue. Edit plugin Settings as follows:

If you havent already done so install the Jellyfin Kodi Addon onto your Kodi Player device from HERE.
Tweaks and fixes to make broken things work - sometimes.
If you get an playback error on your Android Jellyfin device APP reporting Playback Error - No Compatible Streams. This error seems to be a FFMPEG permission issue with folder /dev/dri/renderD128. Basically all transcodes fail. Fix was chmod 666 /dev/dri/renderD128 on the Proxmox host. But on rebooting a Proxmox host the /dev/dri/* permissions changed back to default. So best to create a rc.local script as shown HERE. If that fails try reinstalling VAINFO on the Proxmox Host.
apt remove vainfo -y &&
apt autoremove vainfo -y &&
apt install vainfo -y
For this task I used a Harmony 650 remote control. Configure it to your TV model number.
- Press 'service menu' button on Harmony remote
- Enter password 0413 (other possible password mentioned on some sites is 0000)
- Select area option
- Note the area that the TV's currently set to, as you'll need it later to return to your country
- I wanted UK apps, so entered 3122 for Europe in the top line Now exit this phase.
Next Select the country for apps - Settings > general > location > LG services country > UK (or whichever one)
At that point I opened the LG store app (whatever it's called) and found/downloaded the apps I wanted (iPlayer etc); I think there's some service agreements to agree to etc, but there's no need to re-programme the channels (despite the messaging).
Note you will need a SmartDNS service on your TV Vlan for this to work.
