We are pleased to announce the first release candidate preview release of Jellyfin 10.11.0!

This is a preview release, intended for those interested in testing 10.11.0 before it's final public release. We welcome testers to help find as many bugs as we can before the final release.

As always, please ensure you stop your Jellyfin server and take a full backup before upgrading!

WIP release notes: https://notes.jellyfin.org/v10.11.0_features

This is the first release that uses the new EF Core database mapper. If you'd like to help test this release, please remember to remove all plugins to make debugging logs as easy as possible.

One important call out that I'd like to make about this release is the new "Use Fallback Font Across App" setting.

Enabling this setting will cause the client to attempt to download and use the server's configured and enabled fallback font in all text elements in the Roku app.

Why is this worth a call out?

Well, if you have a CJK font set as your fallback font, this means it'll use it to display artist names, song titles, movie descriptions, etc. that have CJK characters! Where you previously saw boxes, you will now see the correct characters.

Question

On iOS, why can the Jellyfin app play Opus music fine, but Finamp cannot without forcing transcoding to AAC in Finamp settings?

Details

I recently lossy-encoded my FLAC music library to Opus format and created a new library for it on my Jellyfin server. I started trying to use the Jellyfin iOS app to play music from the library, which works fine with one caveat: if the phone screen locks, the next track in the queue will not play. This seems to be related to a limitation in a library used for the Jellyfin iOS app (expo).

The only workaround I am aware of to continue playing music from a Jellyfin server on iOS after the screen locks is to use the Finamp app instead, which is a purpose-built music player app for Jellyfin servers. But it will not play Opus tracks on iOS, apparently because iOS doesn't natively support Opus except when it's in a CAF container, which is non-standard and exceedingly rare. I have to set Finamp to transcode all music to AAC in order to play the tracks.

Why can the Jellyfin app play Opus tracks on iOS without issue, but Finamp can't?

Hi. I recently upgraded my TrueNAS from Core to Scale and had to re-install Jellyfin. Everything (almost) is working fine except my GoogleTV (or whatever it's called) doesn't seem to find it. It doesn't show up in the "browser" bit on the right so I can't select it, and I can't type in an IP because I don't have a keyboard. Any idea on how I can fix this?

The server is clearly on the right network as I can cast from my phone.

From the blog: This minor release brings several bugfixes to improve your Jellyfin experience.

Random question a friend asked, I want to know what the community thinks of this!

From the blog:

This major release brings several new features, improvements, and bugfixes to improve your Jellyfin experience. With our faster release cadence between 10.9.0 and 10.10.0, this release should be far less daunting, so please read on for a quick peek at what's new and some important-to-know breaking changes!

You may upgrade your Jellyfin instances at any time now. For those who were running Unstable builds for testing, we thank you immensely, and you may now switch back to the Stable repository and forcibly reinstall/repull the latest version. As always, ensure you back up your Jellyfin data and configuration directories before upgrading. With a major release, it's possible you will hit a bug and want to revert, and to do so, you will need to restore from a backup.

Happy watching!

I started the scan for my movie collection (roughly 140 movies) on my Raspberry Pi 3B. It has become unresponsive and I can't ssh in now. It seems to be due to all the ffmpeg instances. I have two questions:

Should I wait for an hour or should I just reboot the server? Also, is there a way to disable the setting for chapter images from the web UI? I can't find it in the setting.

I have no idea how that happened or when it happened. Now every single album in my music collection has this background image of a random headphone and this "Various Artists" microphone picture on top.

How do I get rid of this?

Anyone have something similar or an update on this?

I have some stuff where my language is not the default audio track. I can't figure out how to tell it to change the track when using the jellyfin app on roku. Am I missing something?

Nice set of images for your libraries. Two different sets of gradients. Not mine, random find.

I'm starting to get more and more HDR content, and I'm noticing an issue with my Jellyfin server. In nearly all cases, it's required to transcode and tone map the HDR content. All of it is in 4k.

My little Quadro P400 just can't keep up. Encoder and decoder usage hovers around 15-17%, but the GPU core usage is pinned at 100% the entire time, and my framerate doesn't exceed 19fps, which makes the video skip so badly it's unwatchable.

What's a reasonable upgrade? I'm thinking about the P4000, but that might be excessive. Also, it needs to fit in a low-profile slot.
