Describe the bug
Repo for groovy is missing, can't install.
Using repo for 20.04 does not solve the issue (missing dependencies for jellyfin-ffmpeg).

System (please complete the following information):

  • OS: Ubuntu 20.10

To Reproduce
echo "deb [arch=$( dpkg --print-architecture )] https://repo.jellyfin.org/$( awk -F'=' '/^ID=/{ print $NF }' /etc/os-release ) $( awk -F'=' '/^VERSION_CODENAME=/{ print $NF }' /etc/os-release ) main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jellyfin.list

output: deb [arch=amd64] https://repo.jellyfin.org/ubuntu groovy main

sudo apt update
output: E: The repository 'https://repo.jellyfin.org/ubuntu groovy Release' does not have a Release file.

Try using the latest LTS version (20.04) of the repo instead. If that doesn't work, the rebuild will be coming in the next day or two.

Thank you for the quick reply! I'll just wait for the rebuild then 👍

I'm having the same issue on as raspberry pi 3. Ubuntu server 20.10 is the default install. Changing the repro to focal produces an error in jellyfin-ffmpeg. Any updates. Thanks.

Same issue here, does not work for 20.10.

While you can force apt to work by replacing "groovy" with "focal" in the Jellyfin.list source file, it still will fail when installing jellyfin-ffmpeg:

jellyfin-ffmpeg : Depends: libx264-155 but it is not installable
Depends: libx265-179 (>= 3.2) but it is not installable

So this is not supported on Ubuntu 20.10 at all at the moment.

Thank you, a combination of installing the .deb jellyfin-ffmpeg package locally and using the focal repo for the rest worked.

Groovy should be coming along with 10.7.0-rc4 (and 10.7.0 when it drops) - we just had to add it to the reprepro repository, and the new ffmpeg will get added there as well. For now the manual .deb method is the preferred workaround.
