Reverse proxy setup

Your reverse-proxy should allow requests with a body size of around 30MB, as the client will upload 28MB file chunks at a time. You can set the body_size with the configuration below. If you do not have access to your reverse_proxy, you can set the chunk_size to be below 1MB (this is the default NGINX body size limit) by running let chunk_size = 900000 (0.9MB) in the browser console. But make sure that your server can handle multiple requests a second.

NGINX

location / {  
        client_max_body_size 30M; # You will need to upload 28MB chunks
        proxy_pass http://{jellyfin}:{port};
        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
    }

Known errors

• If the API cannot resolve a filename, the downloaded file will get named filewithoutname.mp4
• After updating the upload directory, please refresh the Upload page
• Make sure the server will have some downloaded data after 5 seconds, when inputing the download url
