Testing 10.9.0

[Serge K]

so I installed 10.9.0 to Debian 12 (before I used 10.8.13)
- web version works fine
- Jellyfin on Android phone works fine
- Jellyfin on Android TV does not work - I can not login

[2024-03-27 13:23:05.865 -04:00] [INF] "CustomAuthentication" was not authenticated. Failure message: "Invalid token."
[2024-03-27 13:23:05.870 -04:00] [ERR] Error processing request: "Invalid token". URL "GET" "/socket".

Depends on your install type.  If your stable Jellyfin instance is docker, you could simply duplicate your stable instance and change the image pulled to unstable.  It will upgrade that copy with all your playlists and libraries intact.

Also, why not test both?

No, I don't use Docker. I've set up a machine (VM in Proxmox) completely fresh with Debian 12.5 and directly installed Jellyfin-Unstable on it.
My stable version is running on a different VM with Ubuntu 23.04.

The concept is the same then.  Copy these directories from your Ubuntu VM to your Debian VM.

/var/lib/jellyfin
/etc/jellyfin

Optionally you can copy these directories so that Jellyfin doesn't have to regenerate them

/var/cache/jellyfin
/var/log/jellyfin

As long as your media is mounted in the same path in your Debian VM, this should seamlessly upgrade the database and be identical to your stable instance.

I don't think 0.16.7 is compatible yet.  I recall Niels mentioning that the version he was working was 10.9 compatible.  But that hasn't been released yet.

any Jellyfin for Android TV is not compatible yet
I checked 0.14, 0.15, 0.16

[TheDreadPirate]

If the latest isn't compatible, older versions definitely won't be. Hopefully, soon. Also check if there is a beta channel for the Android TV app. I'm not at home to check if there is.

I simply copied /var/lib/jellyfin because the settings in /etc/jellyfin are different. Afterwards, I initiated a library scan. Playlists are now available.
Thank you very much!!!!!!

For all updates related to 10.9 and our Android apps, watch this issue: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-and...ssues/3467

As mentioned, I've transferred the playlists and can use them in 10.9. This is good for my testing purposes :-)

I've compared the structure of the XML files between:

    Playlists from 10.8.13
    New playlists from 10.9

In a playlist created in 10.9, there is:

Code:

<OwnerUserId>xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx</OwnerUserId>

In the playlist from 10.8.13, the owner is within the share tag.

I assume that during the update process, when the official release is out, this will be converted.

As I mentioned, it's currently not relevant for me, but it might be for the developers.

Nice!

Is there a changelog available? I couldn't find one, so I figured it'll come with the actual release, but asking in case I simply missed it ;-)

Officially, not yet. It's a *long* list. There should be an initial version up soonish, within the next couple weeks as the changes stabilize a bit.

Looking forward to read the changelog or a nice summary of it Really curious to see new features and other improvements.
Thanks for the hard work!

Id like to test.

Does exist a mac unstable version?
Tried the one on Downloads session, but it does not appear to be made for mac. (lots of dll files)
When I ran ./jellyfin the server appear to start, but do not let me log in.
