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

, and . scrub frame-by-frame during playback

SO0LaBn99MO6v8V.webp

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/

Now THAT is a changelog.

Really excited about the query performance improvements, and the improvements to subtitle handling.

[–] hereiamagain@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 hours ago (4 children)

I'm wondering if this has anything to do with the team lead changing?

A big push in features that had been waiting on the back burner?

Are there different hardware requirements? I'm running on a raspberry pi 4, and as soon as it tries to load my movies the entire server crashes. This happened with the first release candidate, but seems to still be happening.

[–] monkeyslikebananas2@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago (3 children)

Did you report the issue?

[–] srasmus@slrpnk.net 2 points 10 hours ago

Not yet. I'll have to mess with it more when I get home tonight.

How do you get this to work remotely easily for old people on smart tvs?

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 13 hours ago

You go and meet them.
Best case if you can set up a s2s vpn.

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.

[–] Axolotl_cpp@feddit.it 6 points 14 hours ago

My guess is that people would call the 10.11.x update something like .11.x instead of the full version because "they don't change the first number anyway" and it would cause confusion to call the next update version 11.x.x so they just jumped to 12

[–] samc@feddit.uk 19 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

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?

[–] CHOPSTEEQ@lemmy.ml 10 points 13 hours ago

I was confused too, but I guess their logic is that 10.11.x is 11.x.x. They might have been more explicit about that.

[–] BooBees@fedinsfw.app 14 points 17 hours ago

This one goes 1 more than 11

[–] krimson@lemmy.world 41 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago) (13 children)

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?

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 13 hours ago

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

[–] SatyrSack@quokk.au 12 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 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.

Is anybody who updated already using Findroid? Just wondering if the update breaks anything in terms of 3rd party apps.

[–] ExcessShiv@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago) (1 children)

Runs fine for me with jellyfin v12 and findroid on both tablet (LineageOS) and phone (GOS)

[–] gedfromgont@piefed.ca 6 points 16 hours ago

Awesome, thanks for the confirmation!

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 13 hours ago

(Take a look at the patch notes which warn about it amd tell you to wait or look at the changelogs from the project)

[–] Damage@feddit.it 26 points 20 hours ago

What a great software

[–] luthis@lemmy.nz 10 points 19 hours ago

FINALLY. it's been so many candidates and every one has so many bug fixes

[–] Faceman2K23@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 19 hours ago (3 children)

I've been running the RC's, smooth sailing in all regards.

Using Wholfin as my main client on all compatible devices, works great.

[–] Marud@piefed.social 2 points 9 hours ago

Ho ! Thanks, I was quiet pissed with the way Jellyfin on android TV was so slow (maybe the embeeded android is to blame), I will try Wholfin to see if anything enhances

Updated on Ubuntu, installed package is 12.0 for Server+Web, but clients still show server version 10.11.11

[–] nibbs@lemmy.zip 5 points 13 hours ago

What kind of client? In browsers usually CTRL + F5 solves those kinds of problems for me. In other cases (apps?) force quitting and restarting the client might help.

[–] cosmicgorilla@lemmy.sdf.org 11 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Do you try turning it off and back on again?

[–] kokesh@lemmy.world 5 points 16 hours ago

Haha. I did.

From the changelog:

Packaging

  • Debian Bullseye and Ubuntu Focal packages are no longer built

Are you maybe running Focal?

[–] kokesh@lemmy.world 4 points 11 hours ago

I'm on Ubuntu and it reports server and web to be v12. Also the ui is different. Same happening on web interface & Android app.
