Jellyfin 12 Released
(github.com)
Let me guess, another price increase.
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.
Thank you for the reminder to donate to them <3
Please donate to your favorite client maintainer (if 3rd party) or another project.
The core team stated that they already have enough funds.
(Look at the funds that are still unusued): https://opencollective.com/jellyfin
Oh shit. Ok. Thank you for bringing that up. I only really use their official apps, but I’ll find another one to donate to.

,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/
So, every time I want to go back one frame, I have to open that plugin from the menu and then respond to that dialog window? That is certainly more cumbersome than the way MPV/Jellyfin do it, where scrubbing is just a keyboard shortcut. Even if I assigned a keyboard shortcut to activated that plugin (I assume that's possible), I still have to respond to that dialog box?
When I scrub through a video to get the perfect frame to screenshot, the experience is usually something like:
- Pause video, no that's not the right frame
- Scrub back five frames, not right
- Scrub forward one frame, looks closer
- Scrub forward one frame, looks closer
- Scrub forward one frame, that's almost what I want
- Scrub forward one frame, that's worse, I guess I went too far
- Scrub back one frame, settle on that one
Using MPV, that's pretty simple because each step there is just a keystroke that takes zero effort and zero time. But if each of those steps also required me to respond to a dialog box, that would just make the process tedious.

Ha! Shows what you know. I got a 256 year subscription at only 10x the price!

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
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.
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
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.

What a great software
Looks like my move to navidrome for music is paying off :)
Seems strange to push books over Audio.
I'm happy to see such a huge list of achievements through. Especially the endpoint hardening.
Sad to see still no 2FA,
Progress is progress; it's still free and open.
Most people I know run it behind a VPN, so 2FA is less critical.
Most people I know use Plex so they don't have to.
I'm hoping we can change that eventually.
Is anybody who updated already using Findroid? Just wondering if the update breaks anything in terms of 3rd party apps.
Edit a few days later: made the plunge and can confirm Findroid works without issues.
Runs fine for me with jellyfin v12 and findroid on both tablet (LineageOS) and phone (GOS)

How do you get this to work remotely easily for old people on smart tvs?
Tailscale is a pretty good option if said old people have an Android or Apple TV, not sure about availability of Tailscale on any other OSs. Run it on your server and the TV client, grab the Tailscale IP from the dashboard and enter [Tailscale IP]:[Jellyfin port] when the Jellyfin app asks for the server address. You could homebrew a VPN too. Only other option would be a domain name and a reverse proxy.
Only other option would be a domain name and a reverse proxy.
This is how I set it up for my family and friends. Works like a charm, especially if you have a dynamic IP. Everyone just signs in through whichever app they want to use.

Domain + reverse proxy. The security issues some people here claim are significantly overblown.

Any changes to the massive memory footprint of JF? I’m basically stuck on Plex because JF eats multiple gigabytes of my very limited RAM.
You could just upgrade, I assume RAM is cheap, haven't looked in a while, just let me look up memory prices real quick...
