Welcome to the new and, hopefully, improved Jellyfin forums.
With the recent trouble with Reddit as a platform and our team's general dissatisfaction with Reddit, GitHub Discussions, and Chat as viable places for long-term, long-form discussions, we have decided to try again at making a community forum. While we were dissatisfied with our previous attempt using Discourse, we hope that this more traditional (MyBB-powered) forum, with a much more extensive moderation team, will help alleviate many of the issues we had there.
Thus the purpose of this forum is to provide a place for such long-form discussions, to provide a user-friendly and searchable archive of issues, development plans, walkthroughs/tutorials, etc., to give our community its own home that is not dependent on another platform, and to supplement the other methods of communication we use.
As described there, we have also closed our official Reddit subreddit at this time, in favour of this forum.
You may register for this forum in various ways. You may of course use the internal registration system, though you may also use external authentication via your Discord, GitHub, Google, Reddit, Stack Exchange, or Twitter account instead (sorry, no Facebook because of their insane developer policies). If you do register using external authentication, please ensure you review the system DM at login for instructions on how to properly secure your account.
Once registered, please ensure you read through our rules, then feel free to say "Hello!" in the General Discussion forum or jump right into asking for help in one of our Troubleshooting or Development forums.
If you're interested in tracking release announcements, you can use an RSS feed or alternate feed type to follow our Release Announcements forum. All new releases will be posted there.
Please note that we are currently unsure exactly how popular these forums will be, and thus much load the forums will be placed under by our userbase. If you encounter errors or slow performance please hold tight, and if they persist please report them via Matrix and we can investigate. You can also use our status page to check for maintenance or outage announcements.
Happy watching!
