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?

      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.

      I know it’s not the same but quick connect works well. Why not log in that way using a six digit code?

        Couple reasons.

        • Jellyfin is not security software, and given the inconsistency and general lack of polish of every other aspect of Jellyfin, its raw login page is not something I’d comfortably expose to the internet to begin with.
        • Quick connect is a poor, unintuitive imitation of Device Flow. A non-technical user would have to also have a Jellyfin app or bookmark in their phone already, and know where to navigate in it to reach the quick connect function. This on its own is insurmountable.
        • It’s not SSO. Jellyfin is yet another username and password they must remember when every single other thing I self host supports OIDC out of the box and they get one user account for everything.

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

    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.

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

      I had the same issue, and just forced the update with sudo apt install jellyfin jellyfin-server jellyfin-web. I loaded a backup first, though.

    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…

      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.

    Is anyone else experiencing slowness and sometimes freezing after updating? This is mostly happening when I go to my home screen, and the server CPU load spikes.

    New version comes with an easy payment plan so you don’t have to pay everything upfront!

    I’m feeling generous, so I’ll pay the first 3 payments for the first 69 people to respond here with a detailed description of their most embarrassing moment in life and a photo of a cartoon character without pants.
