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.jsonAfter migrating please perform the following steps.
Perform a full library scan to restore alternative versions Run the "Optimize database" scheduled task___

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.
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.
Only if either your app requires it to transcode. My cpu is maxed if i try to play off chrome on my phone, but the same file on the jellyfin app keeps it under 1%
JF uses south of 480 mb right now on my rpi4 2gb when idling. It plays fine too, though struggles with transcoding.
You could just upgrade, I assume RAM is cheap, haven’t looked in a while, just let me look up memory prices real quick…
They died from the shock. 😔
@german @selfhosted @Mountaineer
All my homelab uses around 2gb of ram with 20 services, jf one of them.
One thing, I use hw accel with vaapiIf it’s direct play, this makes sense, but it sounds like maybe they are transcoding video
@Statick
That’s what I thought…
I had some issues with config changes, but it’s working now :)
Is there a Samsung TV app yet? I’ve heard it’s out for some…
I used this repo to install jellyfin app on my Samsung TV https://github.com/Apps2Samsung/Apps2Samsung

Good bot.
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.
Did you run the full scan and optimize db afterwards like recommended?
I ran a full scan, but did I miss something about “optimising” the database?
Run the “Optimize database” scheduled task
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.
My wait for OIDC support for sensible client logins continues
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.
I agree with you but also about 90% of watching on my instance happens on smart TV’s. So even though I would like to have oidc supported for the occasional phone/pc user I would still need something basic that a TV can use.
Smart TVs should be able to support OIDC easily out of the box.
And if it didn’t, you can just use a Device Flow
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.
Did you report the issue?
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.
I’m so happy that I got the 253 years subscription.
best money I’ve ever spent
Ha! Shows what you know. I got a 256 year subscription at only 10x the price!
Wao, I got ripped off. I’m a fucking moron.
How do you get this to work remotely easily for old people on smart tvs?
Domain + reverse proxy. The security issues some people here claim are significantly overblown.
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.
this is the way imo. I also took the time to disable internal authentication and hook up authentik via the ldap auth plugin. so for my users, I can text them a link, they set up their credentials and verify their email, then they can sign in to jellyfin with the same creds and it automatically creates a profile and everything.
You go and meet them.
Best case if you can set up a s2s vpn.
Is anybody who updated already using Findroid? Just wondering if the update breaks anything in terms of 3rd party apps.
(Take a look at the patch notes which warn about it amd tell you to wait or look at the changelogs from the project)
Runs fine for me with jellyfin v12 and findroid on both tablet (LineageOS) and phone (GOS)
Awesome, thanks for the confirmation!
Updated on Ubuntu, installed package is 12.0 for Server+Web, but clients still show server version 10.11.11
Just clear your browser cache ;)
Ctrl+F5
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.
Cleared your cache?
From the changelog:
Packaging
- Debian Bullseye and Ubuntu Focal packages are no longer built
Are you maybe running Focal?
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.
Do you try turning it off and back on again?
Haha. I did.
,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.
Let me guess, another price increase.
The price increased 4 times over the previous price.
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 theybalready have enough funds.
(Look at the funds that are still unusued): https://opencollective.com/jellyfinOh shit. Ok. Thank you for bringing that up. I only really use their official apps, but I’ll find another one to donate to.
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.
Jellyfin is free. What price? :D
That’s the joke.
