XML Error? Server not starting now... - 4r5hw45twh - 2024-12-13
No idea if this is because I updated JellyFin a couple hours ago or what, but I've never had this before. On Windows. A server on my own self-hosted PC/server.
Error:

Go to C:\Program Files\Jellyfin\Server\config\ and delete all the XMLs in that folder.
