New Jellyfin Server/Web release: 10.10.2

[TheDreadPirate]

Well then ended well... Not! Now Jellyfin refuses to even start on the server.  All previous updates where flawless.

Do you see this message in your jellyfin logs?

[2024-11-16 18:34:29.446 -05:00] [ERR] [1] Jellyfin.Server.Migrations.MigrationRunner: Could not apply migration '"RemoveDuplicatePlaylistChildren"'
System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path '/media/storage2/Music/Smashing Pumpkins/Smashing Pumpkins.m3u' is denied.
---> System.IO.IOException: Permission denied

Yep, working on recreating everything now!, thought it was odd to crap out on an .m3u file, it shouldn't even be writing too! Even deleting the m3u from the library didn't fix it!

You can make a backup of the M3U and then make it writable.  Then restore the M3U from the backup you made.  That is the "cleanest" way to get around this until the hot fix is released.

i just updated to 10.10.2 and my server would not start after upgrading. i had to create /usr/lib/jellyfin/bin/jellyfin-web and copy over my data from /usr/share/jellyfin/web/ but now it still fails saying that it can't start ffmpeg.

Can you start a separate thread and provide more information?  What you're describing sounds like the upgrade didn't happen cleanly, wasn't done correctly, or your'remigrating install types.
