Is it possible to revert to version 10.8 from version 10.9? (docker)
IntoxicatedHippo
Only if you have a backup of your 10.8 config folder
@chris3456:matrix.org
C
I don't have a backup of version 10.8. I trusted the Jellyfin developers and now I'm stuck with this nightmare version too
Reiner
i guess you at least learned to make backups. ;)
Tim (GrandDynamo)
its not working?
10.9 works fine on my own test system
Reiner
10.9 works nicely for me
チムボット馬鹿
I'm on an os version that doesnt have 10.9 packages to begin with 🗿
You're on triage Tim stop pretending you didn't see the avalanche of new issues after 10.9 dropped
Tim (GrandDynamo)
ofcourse i know of issues users report
i have been debugging the syncplay issue and this weekend i promised a couple users to debug theirs as well
@chris3456:matrix.org

mpv-shim does not work with it, as soon as you restart mpv-shim it displays a window saying that everything is ok even though it does not really connect to Jellyfin

does an issue on mpv shim github exist already?
@nightbronze:matrix.org
N
mpv shim worked well on 10.8 but it no longer connects for me either after restarting, there is really something that has changed with 10.9
Tim (GrandDynamo)
ofcourse something changed lol. 10.9 contains 2 years worth of changes
all I can see are two modes but those are just for display, where it says I can power EDP through integrated gpu or external
Tim (GrandDynamo)
must be drivers then
have you installed intel drivers?
mcarlton
i don't see any issues open on the mpv-shim repo about this. meaning that you're just here to bitch and aren't actually interested in making sure it's tracked and addressed. unless you think that reporting issues in the most inconvenient way possible that's sure to get lost in the noise of chat

If you have a problem, log a GitHub issue and provide detailed instructions to reproduce it. Also don't harass me or I will not respond to your issue on principle.

The problem is that the latest version was sabotaged with several bugs
mcarlton
"sabotaged". really? like, really? fuck right off
Tim (GrandDynamo)
I think they are trolling at this point
mcarlton
there's two years of changes. there's going to be bugs. we asked for people to test it for well over a month and find bugs before release. why didn't you? too good to contribute to the community? just wanna wait until it's released and then scream and take up a bunch of our time
oh yes, the bug that you refuse to describe now, and refuse to report on github properly
What do you want me to describe to you more than as soon as you restart mpv-shim the connection stops with jellyfin, and mpv-shim no longer appears in the mailing list, despite the fact that it displays (OK) on its configuration window. What more do you want to know?
Only a reconfiguration of the server in mpv-shim allows a connection again
mcarlton
"let's ask the server why the client isn't working". no, we need logs from the client to know why it's not connecting properly

Backing up my Windows data.

"let's ask the server why the client isn't working". no, we need logs from the client to know why it's not connecting properly
The client hasn't changed, it's still the same, and from what Shoator said, even with the mpv-shim update it doesn't work any better
チムボット馬鹿
Yeah no that's not how things work
Izzie
Now of course others are welcome to help you, but logging the issue to GitHub is the only way it'll get fixed assuming it doesn't happen to me while I am testing or using it.
mcarlton
so at this point you're willingly ignoring all advice to actually find a solution. glad we cleared that up. everybody move along
I also encounter this problem with mpv shim. I thought it came from me, but since other people are also affected then it is obviously a problem linked to 10.9!
mcarlton
to give some more details, jellyfin is a client/server model. the server has it's own logs about everything happening there, but it has no idea what clients are doing on their own. so most (all?) of our clients have their own logging. to debug client side issues, we need client side logs
stop mpv-shim, delete that file, start mpv-shim again. you'll have to do the server setup again
I have already done this several times from the mpvshim GUI. I'm going to do it again by deleting the file directly and see if that changes anything.
mcarlton
if that doesn't work, then try
stop mpv-shim
delete cred.json again
open conf.json, change client_uuid. just changing a single character should suffice.
save/close conf.json
start mpv-shim again
*
if that doesn't work, then try
stop mpv-shim
delete cred.json again
open conf.json (same directory), change client_uuid. just changing a single character should suffice.

or just delete conf.json and restart instead of editing it. should be the same effect, but if you've made tweaks they might not be saved. i don't actually know this client, just reading the code as i go
open conf.json, change client_uuid. just changing a single character should suffice.
save/close conf.json
start mpv-shim again
I followed the instructions exactly and it didn't work. Then I completely removed mpv-shim and deleted the configuration directory here ~/.var/app/com.github.iwalton3.jellyfin-mpv-shim. Then I reinstalled mpv-shim and configured the address and credentials of the Jellyfin server. It works fine as usual, but as soon as I close mpv-shim and restart it, Jellyfin refuses the connection to mpvshim, sending me the same logs as Chris:
Yes, I also use the flatpak version. I confirm that it works well with 10.8 but the authentication fails when restarting mpvshim with 10.9
mcarlton
i can't replicate it natively on linux, so maybe it's something specific to flatpak (don't ask me how, shouldn't be possible). but if suspicions are correct it's a side effect of a server bug that should be fixed in 10.9.2.
@nightbronze:matrix.org
N
I installed a jellyfin 10.8 instance specifically to test mpvshim. It works perfectly on this version but 10.9 poses authentication problems when restarting mpvshim
This is really very strange, I don't know why jellyfin refuses mpvshim's connection!
mcarlton
again, side effect of a bug
pantoufle
Can I upgrade from the LSIO version of Jellyfin to the official version while keeping the same configuration files without problem?
Yaman Rawat
Hello guys are there any additional steps to turning on gpu acceleration on my amd gpu?
mcarlton
short answer: no longer answer: yes, but it's complicated. they store things in different locations and there's a lot of things in JF land that don't use dynamic paths, so it's a lot of mixing and matching and putting stuff where it used to be but in a new container and updating the config to match
open conf.json, change client_uuid. just changing a single character should suffice.
save/close conf.json
start mpv-shim again
I have also encountered this bug since the Jellyfin update, that is to say for 3 days. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling jellyfin but it doesn't work
* I have also encountered this bug since the Jellyfin update, that is to say for 3 days. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling mpvshim but it doesn't work

Allegra
does anyone happen to know what order trickplay images are generated in? like is it in order they were added to jellyfin? it's not alphabetical

What is the difference between the official version and the LSIO version?
- if you're just setting up Jellyfin and Jellyfin alone, may as well stick to the official one
- if you plan on mixing it with other LSIO containers, or like working with LSIO's structure (they try and standardise it across containers so each time you use one it feels predictable), then you may want to go with theirs
As said a few messages above, while you can theoretically move configs between them, in practice it's a a messy jigsaw puzzle and worth avoiding if possible (source: I wasted an afternoon doing it once)
I'm not sure if the problem comes from the LSIO image of jellyfin, since the mpvshim authentication problem also triggers with the official version of Jellyfin!
if you're referring to your mpv issue, then i wouldn't think so. but i'm on the official image and can't reproduce it currently
Sez
just since you mentioned 10.9.2 coming out in a few days, do you know if that version will revert to how it used to name .nfo's when it generates them? since 10.9 it's been naming them as movie.nfo for me instead of the usual <file/folder name>.nfo
mcarlton
first i've heard of that. i haven't seen anybody else mention it and don't see an open issue for it, so server team might not be aware

im not sure actually if its an issue everyone is having or just me, but i did look everywhere for an option to maybe specify the nfo name but i couldnt find anything

is it possible to to have 'movies' and 'shows' images to cycle instead of staying on the same image?
im not sure actually if its an issue everyone is having or just me, but i did look everywhere for an option to maybe specify the nfo name but i couldnt find anything
oh yeah i saw that when i googled but i saw the dates were from last year, i didn't really understand it, is it saying that its intended behaviour now to name it as movie.nfo?

it always shows these unless i manually go in and delete the image

probably... if it's not the right place we will move it 👍️
Does the LSIO version use the same database structure as the official version?
It just affects where files and folders are laid out like mcarlton said
Though iirc when I had to migrate from one to the other a couple of filepaths were hardcoded in the DB that I had to go change when switching over? This was like 10.7 days so that may not be a problem anymore, I know parts of the database have been reworked since then and I can't remember what even caused that issue I was having anyways

Okay, I know that jellyfin stores favorites in the database, that's the only thing I would like to retrieve from the database, because everything else can just be scanned
The only real way to tell if hw transcoding is working is by looking at the logs.
Lexi
yeah logs should show it, you want FFmpeg.transcode-kjlkljdsfjkaksjfkgjf.log (replace keysmash with date, time, and phase of the moon)

There are only two things that change in the cred.json file, it is the "AccessToken" and the "DateLastAccessed" date. When I manually change the token in the file, jellyfin gives me an error message
[19:51:49] [INF] [57] Jellyfin.Api.Auth.CustomAuthenticationHandler: CustomAuthentication was not authenticated. Failure message: Invalid token.

Which means it's probably the access date that's the problem with 10.9

As soon as I have a stable version with Jellyfin and mpvshim working, I will permanently block updates for Jellyfin, because updates to jellyfin cause big problems every time

I won't go that far but it's true that 10.9 is full of bugs, I use mpvshim every day and it annoys me to have to configure it each time I start...
Elise
Is there a workaround to resolve authentication with mpvshim?

that's a good lifehack too!
mcarlton

nex (she/it)
what actually is mpvshim?
mcarlton
it's basically a super lightweight wrapper around the mpv player. no real UI of it's own, you just select it as a cast target and control it from a browser window or the mobile app
nex (she/it)
oh that sounds neat
I knew it was a cast client but I didn't understand how it was more practical than the full app, but that makes sense

Jellyfin is a great tool. But when a version is very dirty, it must be said that it is very dirty. Hiding her eyes won't make her clean.
mcronce ⚡️
I wouldn't say it's accurate to call 10.9.1 "very dirty"; there are some bugs, and a handful of very rude users were very vocal about one
Tim (GrandDynamo)
🤭 if only the code was open source so they could fix it

the fact of the matter is that for 90% of folks, it's working just fine and we'll never hear a peep from them. it's always the vocal minority that stands out

your issue is facing a very small subset of mpv shim users on a small subset of folks on a 10.9 server. the devs cannot reproduce it, therefore it's not some super widespread the sky is falling issue, and you are drastically blowing it out of proportion

If you all actually wanted the issue fixed, you would go to the issue tracker and either find or create an issue for it. Then EACH affected person should post as much information about the issue as is possible. Detailed instructions to reproduce, logs from the server, logs from the client, and information about exactly what platform is affected, network setup, etc.

Is TrickPlay an Option in the libraries settings itself?
Cause for some reason I only have TrickPlay Images in my TV Shows, Not in the Movies - which confused me 😅
Yes you have to enable it per library

I already figured it was on me, since it was working flawless on the TV Shows

we probably need some help text that says that on the trickplay settings page... it's come up several times 😂

reagarding trickplay: i'm personally not using it since i use Infuse Pro (apple tv) , thumbnails are working fine with it already 🙂
Mr.Mustard_
Personal anecdote.
I found that someone else had already experienced the same thing and reported it on github: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/issues/11624
I added my experience and context to a comment.
A dev for the jellyfin project validated the experience, and was able to reproduce it.
Another dev submitted a pull request that will fix the issue: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/pull/11670```
That all happened in less than **72 hours.**
This is why the Jellyfin project is amazing.
The wonderful people that work on every aspect of the Jellyfin project are amazing.
Thank you.
I am yet sceptical If I can afford the Storage for it on my Main Server though :/
FWIW, I've got 2937 videos complete so far and the trickplay images total approx. 4668MiB, so a little under 1.6MiB per video, using the default 320px iage width. I can't say which videos they are (so, how long they might be), I know the job's working on movies now though.

Yup I Had the Same Experience for both Jellyfin Roku and Jellyfin Vue.
Both Teams fixed an issue I found within the Same day and Made Sure to include it in the next Release / released it directly.
The Roku Team even helped me make my First ever Contribution to Help.
I Had awesome Experience doing so!
Pim_85

Noob question: what kind of proceccing time is expected for trickplay when processing let's say 100 movies of 50 gb each? Intel i5-10500t with hardware accelaration. Is it in the time range of ours, days, or weeks?
that would be a little more challenging since the setting is stored per library 🤔
I figured that!
I Just - Not hate but dislike at least - the Idea of moving "General" settings to far into different Submenues
Though its fine either way.
But maybe this should be concidered before adding more Features to the Library settings

* Noob question: what kind of proceccing time is expected for trickplay when processing let's say 100 movies of 50 gb each? Intel i5-10500t with hardware acceleration. Is it in the time range of ours, days, or weeks?
trickplay might be handy for my sister; she likes to watch movies on her mobile phone (even though i bought her a fancy apple tv 4k gen 2 😂 )
i'm gonna try it this weekend

❤️ i just joined this community since last week. I'll participate in beta testing from now onwards. I'm doing the same for Home Assistant since a couple of years; it's nice to help projects move forwards
hey folks, anyone else have chapters that are just every 5 minutes even though dummy chapters are disabled? not sure if it's a server issue or just my metadata is bad
I don't know if this was answered already, but you need to do a refresh to clear the old chapters from 10.8 where the setting didn't exist and 5 minutes was always used
It specifically needs to be a "replace all metadata" refresh

Does anyone know how to enable trickplay on custom media libraries? I see the option for the Movies and Shows libraries, but don't for a third one which I manually created.

Anyone know what issue we were waiting for for 10.9.2? Wanna keep pushing f5 there instead of asking about it here 😅

I had to delete my "other" library and create a "home videos" library to get it to work.

thanks so much! this worked

Wow. Just wow. Read thru the last fews hours of comments I missed. Some spoiled brats on here today. I'm surprised none of the devs just said, "Hey, feel free to go program your own media manager." I'm sorry you fine folks had to be subjected to that. You have WAY more patience than I have. Thank you for what you do and for putting up with ridiculous BS.

we were playing a bit with them as well. but i guess we should have banned them faster on hind sight

You could always offer them a full refund 😆

To defend the development team
Most issues their are work arounds if not restore a back up if you were stupid enough to update without a backup...well maybe you should stay away from open source applications
I my self had issues with 10.9.0 but...I can google, I can read so issues are mostly resolved
Tim (GrandDynamo)
some users just forget that when coming home after a 9 hour workday, the last thing you want to hear is someone keeping complaining about something, but not wanting to take the time to file a proper bug report
thornbill
We are aware there are some issues with the 10.9 releases. We have been working hard to fix them and get out a new release ASAP. There are always some issues with new feature releases, but this one has been particularly impacted by an unusually long development cycle. If you do encounter an issue that isn't already been tracked on GitHub, please do open a new issue so we can get it taken care of too.

hey, is it possible the resize the new activity dashboard? i mean i cant open such message or see it in there. im to lazy to look into the logfile 😂
Tim (GrandDynamo)
not that i know
thornbill
You can resize columns with by clicking and dragging the edge of that column in the header iirc

oh
damn i thought about it to ask that but then thought "nah a feature like that is probably not implemented"

Although we should probably change the default size of that column 🙂

hmm is it the thumb or normal resize icon?
i only got the thumb
or is it pixelated? like 1 pixel? 😂
edge and firefox dont work, using jellyfin/jellyfin docker image

🤔 I thought that worked… maybe open a github issue in jellyfin-web so I don’t forget to look at it later

Anyone else have WALL-E in their library? Selecting it in the UI (not even playing) is hard locking my jellyfin… I think it has something to do with broken metadata from TMDB, but curious if anyone else can check on their end?

works for me in web and windows clients and i just did a "replace all metadata" library scan. tmdb 10681

Is your filename same as mine?
Allegra
I don't have the dash
WALL E (2008).mkv
dbaines
My folder name is WALL·E (2008), I remember it originally misidentified as a different movie I had to manually id it
I'm assuming because of the special char in my folder name
marbat88
M
I have “Movies/Blu-ray/WALL-E (2008).mkv”
When I use the special character in the filename, library scan won’t complete and errors out.
When I use the hyphen, it identifies as “The Berlin Wall: Escape to Freedom” (lol).
When I manually map to 10681, hard lock after matching WALL-E.

Bizarre.
lol now that you mention it i think i remember it getting identified as that Berlin wall movie when i first added it, then i must have removed the hyphen
jeffbridges
<itsonlybinary> you dont all put the show/movie id in the folder name?

Should I be using folders for each movie? I just dump my ripped mkv files into a blu ray or dvd folder…
Ans40
I had to name Wall-E like this or it got misidentified
WALL-E (2008) [tmdbid-10681]
* I had to name Wall-E like this or it got misidentified:

nobodyinparticular
I haven't found a strict need for more subfolders... unless you have special features and other extras
jeffbridges
<itsonlybinary> i guess the directory for movies does not really matter, i mostly do it so if separate subtitles things are tidy. I was more mentioning putting the id in the file/folder names so ensure correct mappings
marbat88
M
Just renamed the file. We’ll see if that fixes it… I’m less worried about the mapping, more about why it is hard locking all of my clients (just tested on Roku, also locked it).
Also make sure your movie name matches the folder name or it won't show up.
Ran into that myself

All my files work aside from this one in particular. Adding the [tmdbid ] piece to the filename appears to be preventing the library scan from completing…

Did you try to remove the hyphen in WALL-E?
It's almost definitely breaking it bc the hyphen is used as a delimiter
To break up separate identifiers
Ans40
that naming works on all of my clients -- Windows Jellyfin Media Player, IOS, Jellyfin for Kodi. so I'm not sure what's going on. take a peak through the logs maybe?
marbat88
M
Removing hyphen still maps it to Berlin Wall.
Manually remapping locks the clients when clicking/selecting the movie… bizarre. Will take a look at logs, but this wasn’t the behavior on 10.8.x

Grateful for all you guys are doing and hoping to help where I can also trying to learn c # faster so I can help problem solve myself!
Not sure about the authentik part specifically just know tokens have been having problems
iownyrface
Ok I haven't tried to put it through yet
Testing Jelly to see if I can do the few things I need before moving from The Plex
Impressed with Jellys Speed
Just need to sort posters out
But using Authentik LDAP and OIDC is a motivator for me for sure
Like really impressed with playback spEed it be very snappy

Hi. how's it going. Does any experience issues with Jellyfin on android tablet disconnecting from the server and says "connection cannot be established"? And then re-connects immediately after clicking connect again? Jellyfin server is running on a synology nas docker container. Plex works but jellyfin disconnects.
It's all local, no VPNs, testing 2.4 and 5ghz wifi, looking for logs to help me figure it out, but I don't see anything relevant

so the last comment says to force the app to close and delete app data... but when they start it again, it gives the same error after closing normally?

On android, if I force stop the app, then delete its storage (data + cache) it works once

Hi, i was wondering what skipintro plugin is being referenced in the Jellyfin player latest release?
talesam
I have the new Jellyfin, when I click on notifications it appears that now webhooks takes care of this and there is no other option, is this now the default?
did the webhook plugin update to v13? and have you restarted?
yes and yes
chrisWA
goto the webhook plugin under plugins
talesam
chrisWA
k. your template still setup in the plugin?
make sure you redact anything you need to if you post a screenshot
talesam
The configuration I had remains the same, it's just not working, I created a bot that when new content arrived on jellyfin, it appeared on Telegam, but it's not communicating directly with the bot after the update, I haven't found out what it is yet.
chrisWA
gotcha. apologies if you already mentioned that. check your logs yet?
talesam
I'll check and try to find out..., but like I said, I didn't change anything, but it seems like this version has changed a lot
I sent it badly and it worked, the image went to Telegram, but it's not going automatically, I'll check and try to find out something.

yeah i'm not sure. i use pushover and it all worked fine after update. it's odd i don't see anything in my log about notifications or webhooks. successful or failed

Use Ubuntu 24.04LTS if you have some newer hardware
And ubuntu 24.04 has an OS bug that does not properly wait network interfaces to be online
and Jellyfin has to add specific workaround for such cases

Trying to write a doc section for trickplay on jf.org. You guys have any common troubleshooting things you've had to deal with over the past little while that would be helpful to have in a linkable doc section?
gnattu
What need to be documented?
jkboy
just thought if it was documented might not have as many people asking about it.
Couldn't find anything about it in the documentation since its a new feature.
Was just gonna add a page explaining it and having common troubleshooting steps so we can just shoot people the link
As I am still learning coding don't feel like I have much to contribute codewise but gonna try to help make troubleshooting more streamlined

To renew a trickplay I got an advice on here to refresh and replace the metadata.

in theory, great idea.
In reality, the general populace will still need help even with well documented steps (speaking from experience with corperate clients lol)
That said, documentation would be nice for the not so general populace 🙂
Morax
Which worked for me 👍🏻
jkboy
Which makes sense. Still can point them there and if its worse than what it can handle then people can help
Cloud9_Development
So while you're working on that, what IS trickplay exactly? I've been seeing it mentioned but haven't investigated further lol
jkboy
just wanna eliminate wasted time for people who can read/google
scrubbing previews
Cloud9_Development
ahhh, thatttt
didn't realize that was labeled as trickplay lol
jkboy
basically bringing in jellyscrub as an official feature
Cloud9_Development
neat!
jkboy
anyone able to confirm that trickplay only supports web, desktop, Android phone, iOS clients?

sorry, but is this CI already deployed? because i (and plenty of users affected) wanted to test on the unstable branch for a fix regarding the db lockup issue and was shocked that we have to wait 2 days to just test it on unstable? https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/issues/11624
Niels
The unstable builds are currently disabled so users can easily migrate from unstable to stable
Aesthetic
does anyone know about using an intel gpu (a380) for hardware transcoding?
Dan Johansen
Isn't it pretty much plu-n-play?
Aesthetic
possibly, but i am running through truenas scale (probably should have mentioned that) and not sure about if i can pass it through or even how to validate if its working
Dan Johansen
I don't know truenas, but in docker you just need to passthrough the gpu devices /dev/dri/card0 etc etc.
Aesthetic
might have to try spinning up a dockerised version then
Dan Johansen
You might have similar options in truenas.

Guys, is it worth trying to use a different client or a web browser is just good enough on Windows? I use chrome.
Hello, I am having issues with the mpv-shim tool I use to connect to Jellyfin. Since updating to the latest version of Jellyfin it no longer connects. Do other users have this problem?
Dan Johansen
What tool? Is it up to date? Does it support Jellyfin 10.9?

I was using it with version 10.8.13 and it worked. But since the update to 10.9.1 it no longer connects
Hello, I am having issues with the mpv-shim tool I use to connect to Jellyfin. Since updating to the latest version of Jellyfin it no longer connects. Do other users have this problem?
this is soo weird, I've been using the latest unstable branch but i never had the issues that people have been reporting, like this mpv shim
is the unstable docker image not updated? this could have been caught by people who are willing to test
aimmoonn I have the same problem as you with mpvshim. When I configure it it connects but I restart it jellyfin disconnects it. There is probably a problem with the latest version of Jellyfin.
Miku <3
By the way, I was using an older jellyfin version before I'm curious what this does / why is it in newer versions now
