Why jump from 10.11.11 directly to 12.0? -> Blog Post
You can find more details about and discuss this release on the official forums.
As always, please ensure you stop your Jellyfin server and take a full backup of your metadata/configs before upgrading!
Direct upgrades from 10.10.7 and 10.11.x to 12.0 are supported; intermediate upgrades are not required. Users running releases older than 10.10.7 are strongly encouraged to upgrade to 10.10.7 before migrating to 12.0.
Installed repository plugins (anything not built-in) should also be removed before migrating. Plugins will likely need time to adapt to the new database changes, so re-adding them afterward is the safest approach for testing.
Official plugins compatible with Jellyfin are available through the stable plugin repository. If you have changed to the unstable plugin repository please change it back.
Go to Dashboard -> Plugins -> Manage Repositories Update the Plugin Repository URL to: https://repo.jellyfin.org/files/plugin/manifest.jsonAfter migrating please perform the following steps.
Perform a full library scan to restore alternative versions Run the "Optimize database" scheduled task___

How do you get this to work remotely easily for old people on smart tvs?
Let me guess, another price increase.
Thank you for the reminder to donate to them <3
I can confidently say that the Jellyfin team intend to raise the price 10x the previous price.
Those bastards! I knew it!
Plexing their muscles, as usual.
Jellyfin is free. What price? :D
That’s the joke.
,and.scrub frame-by-frame during playback
That is exactly how MPV does it. But from what I remember, VLC devs claim it’s impossible, so VLC only allows you to scrub forward frame-by-frame, not backward. You can skip backwards in three-second increments or whatever, just not frame-by-frame at all. It’s the main thing that keeps me using MPV as my default video player, because I frequently skip around videos trying to get a screenshot of the perfect frame to use to make a meme or something. Being able to scrub frame-by-frame in both directions is a big deal.
There’s a VLC addon that is able to do it. https://addons.videolan.org/p/1154013/
Is anybody who updated already using Findroid? Just wondering if the update breaks anything in terms of 3rd party apps.
Runs fine for me with jellyfin v12 and findroid on both tablet (LineageOS) and phone (GOS)
Awesome, thanks for the confirmation!
Now THAT is a changelog.
Really excited about the query performance improvements, and the improvements to subtitle handling.
The reason is the feedback we got after 10.11.0, which we first raised in January and confirmed in May. A release like 10.11.0 was, by any reasonable measure, a major release - it rewrote the library database - but the version number presented it as a minor update, and people upgraded with expectations to match. The leading 10. never changed and never told anyone anything, so all it did was push the number that actually mattered into the middle position and make “major” releases look minor. Dropping it means the first number moves when the release is big.
lol. All the Jellykins in here lost their minds when this was pointed out.
I dont get why they didn’t just call that update 11.0? Or use that for this update?
I guess if you’re changing the semantics of your version numbers its also a good idea to introduce a deliberate discontinuity to mark the change?
This one goes 1 more than 11
Multiple versions for episodes
❤️
Edit: so I have two libraries, 4K and HD because of different viewing locations. Transcoding 4K to HD is not an option, hardware is too slow for that.
Now my multi quality tvshows get combined into one “view” per show which is nice. But it seems it still shows seperate episodes per quality and does not track viewing progress yet sadly or am I missing something?
That’s not as common of an occurrence as multiple versions of movies, but I have sure had a few instances when I wanted that for a TV show episode as well. That is certainly a welcome feature that I am looking forward to.
Can you in theory set the servarr stack to fetch multiple languages of the same media now, when available?
I don’t think seer, sonarr, or radarr support that but in theory could. You’d also need your sources to have a good way to supply those details in a good way as well. I wish they had a good way to filter for languages now as I hate dubbed anything.
I don’t have the arr stack now, but when I fiddled with it a year or two ago I had to set one language. I ended up scrapping it because of it and just continuing with the streaming services. I also hate dubbed anything, but have small kids who want to see their shows in Norwegian. Switching them over to English on shows or movies they already know in Norwegian would be a great way for them to learn. Maybe I get to watch the Disney movies in English with them finally.
The annoying but workable answer is to run two instances, one for each language.
What a great software
Updated on Ubuntu, installed package is 12.0 for Server+Web, but clients still show server version 10.11.11
From the changelog:
Packaging
- Debian Bullseye and Ubuntu Focal packages are no longer built
Are you maybe running Focal?
Do you try turning it off and back on again?
Haha. I did.
FINALLY. it’s been so many candidates and every one has so many bug fixes
I’ve been running the RC’s, smooth sailing in all regards.
Using Wholfin as my main client on all compatible devices, works great.
I’ve tried multiple Jellyfin apps for TV and all but VoidTV refuse to play Atmos with DV. 5.1 works, but 7.1 doesn’t. Including the offical Jellyfin app. It’s odd because it used to work until it didn’t.
I really just want the fireTV app of Jellyfin to not be so dogshit.
I got tons of cool plug-ins running on my server that work fine via desktop/mobile… but access the server using the FireTv app and you’d never know. No mediabar enhanced, no seasonal, no achievements or local ratings…
You should see the Tizen version…
Though neither are made by the Jellyfin tram, and they’re both dealing with the constraints of the underlying dogshit hardware/software
That’s developed by a different team
I wish they’d fix the screen off while audio plays on android issue.
Try Findroid. I found it to be a better overall experience.
Or if just looking for a solution too music, Finamp is pretty good as well
I’ve been using Jellyfin for years, on different hosts. Music has never worked on any of my devices - there’s a bug where you try to play a track and it ignores you and plays the first track off the album instead. You can literally never play anything after that. To be fair, I haven’t tested this in six months, but it was a consistent bug for years before that and I’ve tried every client under the sun. Nowadays I use Jellyfin for video and Navidrome for audio instead and it’s all good.
Thats a client config issue not a server issue.
Go to settings > client settings, enable the background audio with the checkbox:
Go to settings > client settings, enable the background audio with the checkbox:
That definitely does not fix the issue. Not sure if it is just certain devices or Android versions or whatever that have that issue, but having that checked makes no difference for me in recent months. Even with that setting enabled, if I start playing a video then switch to another app, the audio keeps playing for three seconds or so and then just cuts out. The video keeps playing in the background, but no audio.
You can try streamyfin which is enabled by default, but what’s likely happening is that your phone is disabling it as a background app. I’d check your phone settings for power management/pausing background apps. I can tell you that audio only playback with the screen off and as a background app works just fine with JF (official client), I was just using it that way earlier today.
Maybe you can try to enable the “run in the background” battery saving option?
It’s set to “Unrestricted”:
Besides, like I say, the video does keep playing in the background, it is just the audio that cuts out after a few seconds.
How about battery saving settings? Or data saver? (I constantly use battery saver, and it’s pretty aggressive with restricting processes)
i wish they’d fix the black screen and not returning to home after episode ends issue/feature, and also not being able to scroll after manually returning home. can’t use old enough versions anymore where it still worked right (2023 versions and older i think)
