So this WON’T break the “Jellyfin” Kodi plugin? Just making sure it’s not the same thing as “Jellyfin4Kodi”.
I can’t really think of a better example of open source software than Jellyfin. The product, the team, the culture… always evolving and improving. I’m here for it!
I use Jellyfin heavily, and it’s a fantastic project, but I really wish they would address the issues with transcoding, specifically the ability to force it on.
My library contains a decent amount of HDR (lots of DV) content. On my TVs (using Nvidia Shield), it will direct play the DV content, resulting in a green picture. If I turn on burned-in subtitles or drop the bitrate and FORCE it to transcode, it’s looks perfect. I’ve resorted to just setting a low bitrate on clients so it always transcodes.
I’m really hoping a future version gives us the ability to set more fine-grained transcoding settings per-client. Even the ability to disable direct-play completely would be fantastic.
10.10 included much better HDR format specificity and support. It’s possible your issue was fixed.
I think you can do some settings related to transcoding per user account. Maybe that will help.
This is great, but as someone who uses the Jellyfin4Kodi plugin daily: 😬😬😬
Thanks for the heads up. Sounds like I will be staying on 10.9 for a little bit longer.
Network path substitution is my jam and I am super bummed to not be able to use it. I love direct play capabilities for my clients so I am worried about upgrading to this version.
Being able to save trickplay images in the media folders is my most awaited feature, awesome! Edit: the setting can be found in the library settings, just fyi
Did they abandon the Flatpak package? The Jellyfin Player Flatpak is up-to-date, but the Server package on Flathub is at 10.8.13 and no longer listed on the Jellyfin website
https://jellyfin.org/downloads/server
EDIT: Looking at an archive from earlier this year, the Flatpak was tagged as “Community”, not “Official”. So I guess I shouldn’t be too surprised that the random packagers did not keep up with releases.

Flatpaks really suck for anything other than GUI applications. I suggest going with docker/podman
I had no issue with it when I set it up on my Steam Deck. Setting up docker/podman through distrobox or something just seems like so much extra hassle compared to a Flatpak.
The jellyfin docker is really easy to set up. And then you get the benefit of complete portability.
In the GitHub release, it is written: This release is still building. Please do not attempt upgrades until this section is removed.
What does it mean? When will I be able to upgrade my installation?
It means it is still building. You can upgrade your installation when that section is removed.
😂😂😂😂
Thanks, I was confused!
