New Jellyfin Warning - Homepage

Posted by Big_Totoro

Hello, I'm running the media stack, but i specifically don't use Jellyfin, which is part of that stack. I use Jellyfin on separate hardware. Therefore it has different directories that it looks for. I am now getting a warning on the homepage that the built in Jellyfin app (part of that media stack which i don't use) is triggering that warning. Is there any way to fix this?

You are right—the warning assumes SparkBox’s bundled Jellyfin is the library target. Since your Jellyfin runs on separate hardware with different folders, this is a false positive, not evidence that Sonarr is broken. There is no per-check dismiss switch in the current dashboard, so please do not change your working Sonarr path just to satisfy it. I have flagged this as a dashboard fix so external-Jellyfin setups can dismiss that library-path check.

Coming back to correct myself, and this time in your favour: that dismiss switch exists now. It shipped in v1.6.432 — the day after I told you there wasn't one. True when I wrote it, wrong the next morning, and you were left living with a warning you didn't need to. On the media pipeline card that shows the warning, press "My Jellyfin is elsewhere". SparkBox then stops comparing your Sonarr and Radarr folders against the bundled Jellyfin, and the false positive goes for good. It's reversible — the same card offers "Use bundled Jellyfin checks" if you ever want it back. If the button isn't there, run sudo sparkbox upgrade first. That's upgrade, not update; update only refreshes app images and can't move you onto a newer release.
