Solved Cannot install jellyfin

I using the same: root@mybsd:~ # uname -a
FreeBSD mybsd 15.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE releng/15.0-n280995-7aedc8de6446 GENERIC amd64

No problem here. Please try:
Code: 
pkg update
pkg upgrade
pkg install -y jellyfin
 
It's only present in quarterly since it has been broken for a long time. I gave up on my jellyfin installation - even if it did build by accident at some time, it would not run. The latest building/working version was 10.10.7 sometimes in june, so I just kept my installation at that version (i.e. rolled back the jail to the state of ~july 2025 after each unsuccessful update attempt).
lang/dotnet also is more often broken than not, so it makes it even more unlikely to get jellyfin built sucessfully.

Ah, that is the reason why I can install it:
Code: 
...
: $ cat /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf
FreeBSD-ports: {
  url: "pkg+https://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/quarterly",
  mirror_type: "srv",
  signature_type: "fingerprints",
  fingerprints: "/usr/share/keys/pkg",
  enabled: yes
}
...
 
pkg repos

(The definition might be overuled with settings in /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/)

That said, if you haven't modified it, by default all -RELEASE versions will use the quarterly repositories, -STABLE and -CURRENT default to the latest repositories.
 
I am not sure what the issue might be for you guys, but Jellyfin 10.11.5 is running on my FreeBSD 14.3-STABLE server without any issues. Built from ports, no idea about binary package. There was some breakage sometime last year, cannot remember the details.
 
I am not sure, but I think there may have issues on the particular day I tried to install.
Jellyfin was one of four packages I could not install. Others were: obs-studio and davucommand and something else (sorry should have taken better notes).
Somebody else told me he was having similar trouble on that day.
I did a pkg-update before I tried the install, but still had trouble. I tried a pkg-install -f, and it seemed to work.
I am not sure if -f (force) made all the difference, or if there were just some issues when I tried to install.
Anyway, I got jellyfin installed, and working.
I will make the issue solved.
Thank you everybody.

That's certainly possible. Ports sometimes fail to build (for whatever reason) and the package disappears. Then the port gets fixed and the package reappears again.

If you go to Freshports; multimedia/jellyfin for example. There's a 'radio-active' button icon next to the port's name. If you click on it you get sent here: https://portsfallout.com/fallout?port=multimedia/jellyfin$
