Can you provide more context? What OS is the server running and how is Jellyfin installed?
RE: XML Error On Startup - .koskinas. - 2024-10-31
Running on windows, installed using the windows installer. Sorry for not providing that info in the thread.

Ensure Jellyfin is not running. Then, navigate to C:\ProgramData\Jellyfin\Server\config and either move the migrations.xml and system.xml files out of the directory or rename their extensions to .xml.bak. After that, restart the server.

Thanks man, worked a treat. Tried replacing the whole config file and it didnt work before, so that's weird.
