Latest Jellyfin update is broken?

Does anyone know how to update?
I installed Jellyfin from trunas apps catalog (running 25.04.2.5 now).

I’m stuck with App Version v10.10.7, Version v1.2.8 for now.

Does anyone think this will get solved or should I just destroy the whole thing and start fresh? I can manage to revert to a snapshot immediately after launching the broken app and it reverts back to v10.10.7 and works as it did before.

Please tell me how you did the migration of the volumes from ix-applications.

I’m still using ix-applications volumes for JellyFin. I’m not really sure about the benefits of migration. But it would be more organized imo to handle the volumes on my own.

Create a dataset for jellyfin, with a child dataset called ‘config’. Mine are SSDs/apps/jellyfin and SSDs/apps/jellyfin/config.

Stop the jellyfin app.

Assuming the app is called ‘jellyfin’ and your dataset is called ‘jellyfin’ run the following in shell (change /mnt/SSDs/apps/ to the path of your newly created jellyfin dataset):

cp -r /mnt/.ix-apps/app_mounts/jellyfin /mnt/SSDs/apps/

Then in app config point cache storage at the jellyfin dataset (SSDs/apps/jellyfin) and point config storage at the child dataset (SSDs/apps/jellyfin/config). Restart the app and it should do the migration, if it doesn’t you’ve probably stuffed up the folder structure. Once it migrates run a full scan (still very slow as of 10.11.3 if you have a lot of images or complex folder structure).

I had a lot of difficulty accidentally copying things a folder too deep (/jellyfin/jellyfin/) so watch for that. Jellyfin also has nested folders with the same names, which didn’t help with correcting the issue.

Did it go OK? I’m glad you asked about it as the latest container update (v1.2.19 before the app update) broke my install and ix-apps was functionally my backup. Copy-paste from here fixed it.
