AFAIK the only two major database changes on the roadmap are mentioned EFCore migration for the library database and the addition of external DB providers.
There have been discussions here and there about some of the silly ways Jellyfin still does things that haven't been changed since the Emby fork. Some of them database and database optimization related. But "there are bigger fish to fry" is the current sentiment with the current level of manpower that is available to the project. So these kinds of efforts are still on the back burner slowly being worked.
I opened a thread for it here : https://forum.jellyfin.org/t-the-externa...discussion
And my subject has been ignored.
I understand this one is touchy for the core team and as you mentioned it, all this is due to the emby fork legacy and all the the silly things in it.
But to not say a word about it apart "we are working on it", is unfair for the community because this is a long expected feature, and you are obviously working on it. But it has been 6 years now.
So why not just share the truths about it ?
