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.json

After migrating please perform the following steps.

Perform a full library scan to restore alternative versions
Run the "Optimize database" scheduled task

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?

Working as designed.
They mentioned this behavior in the notes.

[–] SatyrSack@quokk.au 12 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

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?

[–] smiletolerantly@awful.systems 1 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Sorry, but why not just fetch a single media file with multiple languages?

[–] virku@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

Of course, if it is available then that would be a good option. But if not then I would want it to download one of each.

[–] Dultas@lemmy.world 6 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] virku@lemmy.world 3 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] rainwall@piefed.social 3 points 16 hours ago

The annoying but workable answer is to run two instances, one for each language.

[–] curbstickle@anarchist.nexus 1 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

You'll need multiple instances, which is what I do for different reasons.

[–] virku@lemmy.world 1 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

So you have multiple servarr stacks as well as jellyfin?

[–] curbstickle@anarchist.nexus 5 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Multiple sonarr instances, multiple radarr instances, one prowlarr, one qbittorrent, etc.

And one JF instance with different libraries for each.

[–] virku@lemmy.world 1 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

I see! Thanks 😊

Are you able to differ easily between the jellyfins on client devices like Apple tvs?

[–] curbstickle@anarchist.nexus 4 points 13 hours ago

There's only one Jellyfin instance, its just additional libraries as mentioned.

Well, kind of, I have other JF instances as lxc's but not for that reason.
