I don't see any threads for reporting bugs. Where do I go to report one.
I decided Jellyfin is WAY MORE WORK than I want to do to play my videos, so, I uninstalled it. I don't know what it was actually doing it uninstalled. A nearly endless list of items scrolled up in the window. It took more than 5 minutes to do this, and yet, it DIDN'T delete anything related to Jellyfin. Every folder and file it originally installed was still on my computer, including the desktop icon. I pressed the icon TO SEE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN and Jellyfin OPENED RIGHT UP!
I went into Apps and Features an uninstalled it again. This time, maybe a dozen files showed in the uninstall window and it was done in seconds. Guess what!!! It was still on my desktop and functioning normally.
I tried to recover my system restore point that I saved prior to installing Jellyfin. Here's the part that really makes me angry... Windows failed to restore my system, telling me that there were folders missing that should be there. The absolute only thing I did to my system after making that restore point was to install Jellyfin and TRY to get it to work. When Jellyfin failed to live up to my expectations, I uninstalled. THAT SHOULDN'T HAVE F'ED up my system so bad that my restore point failede, but that is exactly what happened.
Y'all might want to fix that before anyone els3e has the need to uninstall Jellyfin. As for myself, I'm returning to the Roku Media Player. It may be rudimentary, but it works as expected and won't F with my computers!
Goodbye Jellyfin!
