New Jellyfin Server/Web release: 10.11.8

[matt1984]

I'm sure I don't speak for everyone here, but ffs it's a media server. Given that I run mine on segregated machine(s) to begin with, I could care less what erstwhile bad actor(s) can/would do to/with the host server or the NAS it's connected to. Have at it. Whatchoo gonna do, delete all the Movies? Steal the login credentials? Whoopdeedo! Knock yourself out.

Your attitude stinks.  There is no such thing as bullet-proof software.  You definitely don't speak for everyone.  Security is a very real priority for others so you can rant all you want about not caring re:security.  I did not notice any issues with 10.10.7 or 10.10.8.  These "zero-day issues" you describe do not affect everyone.

While his attitude might be out of place, is it really hard to understand the underlying annoyance piling up for some?

A usecase jellyfin worked perfectly fine for for years has suddenly with the update to 10.11.x been nuked out of existence.
Yet the devs still (after how long a year?) don't even seem to acknowledge it and pretend it's just some minor thing barely affecting anything.

At the same time they press on how important it is to update, those security issues for the most part are easily "bandaided" for 10.10.7 by removing management rights for users and not giving out access to random people but thats beside the point.

Again sub folder sorted libraries which worked perfectly fine before 10.11.x are FULLY  BROKEN,
it's not a "slower" it's a you won't be able to play these videos at all because the library won't open within the next few hours. The issue is easy to replicate as well. 

Add a folder with sub-folders as library [youtube] -> [Tech] [Docs] [Stream] [Gameplay] [Study][Music]... -> And inside those have the channel folders with the actual files.
With only a few thousand it won't open anymore, infinite loading. 

This worked perfectly fine for years!
That's not a small degredation it's a "we removed/broke this functionality/usecase but pretend everything works as before".

Why can't anyone from the team at least make a statement like 'yep we see this issue it's on our radar' or 'we decided to drop this usecase sorry make your own fork'?
Instead all you get is people with 50 movies and one movie library spamming everything works perfectly fine.

Overall i'm certain even the ones complaining are very greatful for the work the devs put in and that they keep working on the project <3 but this doesn't change the fact that the server project got half castrated from one big release to another without any dev mentioning or at least acknowledging it on git or the forum.

100%! This is spot on, 10.11 is fundamentally broken and there doesn’t seem to be any acknowledgment that it is actually on the radar to fix. I did try 10.11 a few releases ago but as above it just doesn’t work right now for around half my content. It’s not that I don’t want to upgrade, I really do but can’t if it’s not going to work at least 90% as well as 10.10 does.
