"Could not start Jellyfin server process after the specified wait period."

Can you share the contents of migrations.xml?

I am having this exact same problem. This is the new migrations.xml generated after deleting the corrupted one.
Server still not starting.

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<MigrationOptions xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">

Also try renaming system.xml and let it regenerate from defaults.

I deleted all the files in the config folder with the xml files and it worked

Good evening

I have the same problem. Unfortunately, deleting the files does nothing for me

You're running the unstable, still in development, build of Jellyfin.  I have no way to tell if this is a legit problem or a bug.  I'm leaning towards a bug  Regardless, post to the jellyfin git hub.

Version 10.11 is an unstable build and should only be used for testing purposes. Inter-unstable versions may not always be compatible. To resolve any issues, restore a 10.10.x backup, then reinstall the latest 10.11 unstable build. If the problem persists,  then you can report it.

https://jellyfin.org/posts/efcore-refactoring-incoming/:
"The downside of this is, though, that we might not be able to cleanly implement unstable-to-unstable migrations in a way that will work properly. While we will try to do this, we cannot guarantee it."

"Fifth and finally, if you have a failing migration, restore an older database version first and try to re-run it. If it still fails, try your oldest (ideally, 10.9.11 or 10.10.0 stable) backup as well. If that one doesn't work, it's a new bug to report."

thanks for your Replay , yes i know . I tried it first with the new Final release and hat the same Problem .

Found the Issue ...

Had duplicates in the migrated DB

Make A copy of the DB file in "C:\ProgramData\Jellyfin\Server\data"

use https://sqlitebrowser.org/ --> DB Browser --> open DB file to work with

SELECT Type, Value, COUNT(*) as Anzahl
FROM ItemValues
GROUP BY Type, Value
HAVING COUNT(*) > 1;

Search for entries who ar dublicated

SELECT ROWID, Type, Value
FROM ItemValues
WHERE Type = 3 AND Value = 'Dublicate Value entry ';

as example in my case

SELECT ROWID, Type, Value
FROM ItemValues
WHERE Type = 3 AND Value = 'Ay Yapım';


Next step, delete duplicated ROWID

DELETE FROM ItemValues
WHERE ROWID = one Value of a dubplicatet ROWID here;

example

DELETE FROM ItemValues
WHERE ROWID = 125;

now you can check again with

SELECT Type, Value, COUNT(*) as Anzahl
FROM ItemValues
GROUP BY Type, Value
HAVING COUNT(*) > 1;

repeat for each duplicatet value

safe and make sure that the name of DB file is correct --> start jellyfin again.

give him a bit time to run

"i thought it didn't work, my brother said in the morning he couldn't find the new files ...

so now I did a new scan of the libraries and everything is back to normal. "


cheers , hope it helps others too.

and thanks for the cool community
