New Jellyfin Server/Web release: 10.10.2

[ReleaseBot]

We are pleased to announce the latest stable release of Jellyfin, version 10.10.2!

This minor release brings several bugfixes to improve your Jellyfin experience.

As always, please ensure you stop your Jellyfin server and take a full backup before upgrading!

You can find the full changelogs on the GitHub releases for the server repository and the web repository.

Release prepared with <3 by @joshuaboniface, the rest of the Jellyfin team, and contributors like you.

Happy watching!

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

PSA: this update breaks media segments when they are sourced by the intro skipper plugin, so if you need your intro skip... skip this release for now
fixed in the introskipper plugin here:
https://github.com/intro-skipper/intro-s...v1.10.10.9

PSA2: if you have m3u files in playlists and jellyfin can't write to them, that might prevent jellyfin from starting
Workaround: backup m3u files, let jellyfin write on them... restore m3u files
Credit to TDP for workaround

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.

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.

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.

Put the M3U back, make a backup copy, allow Jellyfin to write to it, start jellyfin, restore the original M3U.

I'm also unable to start the container.

I don't think i've ever even created a playlist so it should be empty.

Reverting to 10.10.1 works without issue.
