After upgrading to Jellyfin 10.11.0, the Admin Dashboard → Paths page kept endlessly - Loong - 2025-10-24

⚙️ Root Cause
In Jellyfin 10.11.0, the server now uses marker files to identify internal directories:
  • .jellyfin-cache
    → marks the cache directory
  • .jellyfin-transcode
    → marks the transcoding temp directory
If both the cache path and transcode path point to the same folder, Jellyfin detects conflicting markers and the web UI (especially the Paths section) will continuously reload.
This also breaks transcoding and playback.
✅ Solution
  1. Set the Transcoding Temporary Path back to the default in
    Dashboard → Playback → Transcoding Temporary Path.
    (Or point it to a separate dedicated folder, e.g.

    D:\JellyfinTranscodeTemp
    .)
  2. Restart the Jellyfin server.
  3. (Optional) Delete any leftover marker files in your cache folder:

    .jellyfin-cache
    .jellyfin-transcode

    Only one of them should exist per folder.
After doing this, the admin page stopped refreshing and playback returned to normal.
💡 Notes
This is not a CPU or browser issue — it’s caused by overlapping cache and transcode directories introduced in Jellyfin 10.11.0’s new folder verification logic.
Keeping those paths separate permanently fixes the problem.
