First of all I registered to say thanks for all the work went into Jellyfin yet. I really like it.
Regarding the 10.11.x update the upgrad as is worked for my library really smoothly and fast. I have a library in range of a couple thousend files.
But in the end I reverted back to 10.10.7 yesterday, after getting mad with some nasty problems.
First of all the "continue watching" topic is buggy. It doesn't appear in the main menu. The current workearound is, and I can confirm it, enable "continue watching" on all library topics and it will show up again. Just turn one of and it's gone.
The other major bug is, where I failed to find a fix for, the collections don't work. If I try to select collections, the spinner do it's thing, one core on the server gets load and never stops, as so does the spinner. Selecting collections again, another core gets load and the spinner runs... you can repeat this until the server is on 100% load.
Another side effect after upgrading was on the client side. The android app on my phone as like the app running on my andorid TV was struggling. On my phone the app won't load. Just the spinner made its thing. Clearing the app cache solved this effect. On the android TV the app won't login. Clearing the cache didn't fixed it, but reinstalling did the trick.
Overall I spend some hours of reading, fiddling around, server stopping, server starting... Sad to finally revert back, but I have some users not really familiar with such "computer stuff" and the support eats up too much time for me now. So I reverted back and will see what patches may come in the future.
I am totally aware such huge achitectural changes result in a lot of struggle in the first few weeks or month after such a release. But I really hope the devs can get the problems fixed somehow to give us a smooth update experience.
Well, long story short: I went back to 10.10.7 for now and hope the best for the near future. Cheers!
