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

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.

Was able to fix it. The initial library scan caused the server to crash (ran out of resources) so every database load would make the server crash since the initial scan never ran. The solution was to turn off the other containers I had running, then run the scan, then turn everything on.

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

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

[–] nibbs@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 month 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.

From the changelog:

Packaging

  • Debian Bullseye and Ubuntu Focal packages are no longer built

Are you maybe running Focal?

[–] kokesh@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month 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.

@Mountaineer Great to hear. This #jellyfin has been a long time coming. But I'm waiting for the 12.1 or 12.0.1 release. I want to see the tires kicked a bit first.

Is there a Samsung TV app yet? I’ve heard it’s out for some…

[–] chepdamona@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago

I used this repo to install jellyfin app on my Samsung TV https://github.com/Apps2Samsung/Apps2Samsung

[–] SailorFuzz@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (3 children)

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....

[–] luthis@lemmy.nz 6 points 1 month ago

That's developed by a different team

Idk if Wholphin will fully fit your needs, but that's what I use on my FireTV and we love it. It looks sleek as hell and has sone plugins like Serr requests. Weirdly though, it takes longer to load an ep on there compared to my laptop or phone.
