having this very weird issue whenever jellyfin is stopped and started all of my plugins will just be missing or uninstalled. exceptions are the default plugins and sometimes the dnla plugin. it happens when stop it manually in the apps page or when the system restarts, but not when jellyfin crashes and only sometimes when i hit restart from within jellyfin. obviously this is incredibly annoying and i have no idea why its happening. is anyone else having this issue or know why it might me happening?
It kind of sounds like you’ve set up Jellyfin so that it saves its configuration files in a volatile place, like the container itself, instead of in a more stable place like a host path.
Which method did you use to install Jellyfin and did you set up host path storage?
installed from the catalog and all of the paths were set to “applications/jellyfin” (both are datasets not folders) on the pool. nothing other than what i dont have direct control over is saved to the container or ix-apps. And also it’s ONLY the plugins that are doing this. Settings, users, etc do not have this problem and save changes and watch data and such correctly and without issue.
