  Is there a buried lede here? What’s noteworthy about an RC of a minor version release?

    This is the database rework that’s been in progress for a while to remove all the bad inherited database code from when the forked Emby. No more SQL statements in code or plugins, any DB access now goes through the core library. There are a few blog posts in their website with more details.

      I’ll be honest, Im not sure why theyre not releasing this as 11.x.

      This seems to be a major update. From what I can tell there are API changes, plugins might not work, your entire db is converted to another format, etc.

      I’m excited for it and thankful for all the work- just seems so big that it should be tagged 11.0.0

      Out of curiosity, this is better because of encapsulation? Protection from bad plugins?

    I’m serious, there’s so much lazy posting on Lemmy regarding software releases.

    • no mention of what the software is or does ✔️
    • no mention of what’s interesting about the software is this release. ✔️

    Jellyfin is quite a big name, but still, the pattern is clear.

      I have to admit, it's something I'd like to see done a bit better (not that I'd be the one posting about it typically)

      "Crocoslut version 12 released!"

      Uh... great?

      Though sometimes you go to the website and it's not much better.

      We could have a tag for things like this (if tags are a thing on lemmy) or a required prefix, such as "Software release: ".

      I do like to see an announcement for things I use and have slow release schedule.

    Sorry, I didn’t realize some Lemmy clients don’t show cross-post descriptions. I’ll copy past it below:

    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: 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.

      My client showed that to me and I read it. I just imagined myself as someone who doesn’t know what Jellyfin is, and that text didn’t help much.

  i gave emby and jellyfin a testrun yesterday using docker. I kept emby because i can easily add smb shares using the webinterface. jellyfin requires me to mount those to the host/container. am i using jellyfin wrong?

    Why is it not mounted on the host/cointainer? I dont think you are using jellyfin “wrong” but its not like you cant just configure a mount point if you wanted to use jellyfin with it.

    That is an interesting thing to point out though, im not actually sure but i think they used to support smb shares directly, i might just be thinking of kodi though.

      it is not mounted to the container because that is a shit solution. the host would need to mount it and pass that to tge container. emby i stop the container and no connection to the share. mounted in host it would still be there. not to mention the hassle this also means more traffic. an idea why jellyfin doesnt do shares like emby?

      Im using UnRAID for storage and getting another Linux machine to mount a share in boot has been an exercise in futility so I get it.
