SOLVED: Upgrade from 10.9.11 to 10.10.3 still displays 10.9.11

[Cygon]

Hi,

I've been running Jellyfin for several years and I've upgraded to newer versions a few times already. Usually when the Jellyfin FireTV app demands an upgrade of the server.

The latest upgrade, from 10.9.11 to 10.10.3 is giving me a bit of trouble. The Jellyfin FireTV app still claims I'm running server version 10.9.11 after the upgrade.

When I visit my Jellyfin URL in the browser and open Jellyfin's Dashboard, it shows:

Server version: 10.10.3
Web version: 10.10.3
Build version: 10.10.3

But if I open Jellyfin in Jellyfin Media Player 1.11.1, the Dashboard shows:

Server version: 10.10.3
Web version: 10.9.11
Build version: 10.9.11

This is confusing me a bit  

How can Jellyfin identify as two different versions, one to my browser, the other to Jellyfin Media Player and the Jellyfin FireTV app?
- Even though I never needed to do this for earlier updates, I cleared Jellyfin's cache directory and rebooted the machine, but no change.
- This happens consistently, whether I install Jellyfin by extracting its .tar.gz or emerge Gentoo's "www-apps/jellfin-bin-10.10.3" ebuild.
- Prior to un-tarring/emerging, I also removed my /opt/jellyfin directory to ensure no outdated files remain, especially /opt/jellyfin/jellyfin-web

This is the startup message Jellyfin writes to its logfile:

So it does seem to be 10.10.3. Where could the 10.9.11 in Jellyfin Media Player and the Jellyfin FireTV app be coming from?

Clear the JMP app cache or right click and click "reload". On the FireTV, clear the app cache.

Also make sure there isn't a zombie instance running or something.

Thank you, it worked in both cases.

I wonder if some timestamp is wrong or some old file cleanup process is lacking in this update, but I'm happy my Jellyfin players are working again.

Jellyfin caches pretty aggressively. If you're using Nginx you can add a cache-killer to the reverse proxy config to force more frequent updates.
