Jellyfin is finally moving to the new version scheme. With [major].[minor] having breaking changes between major versions and commitment to non breaking changes for minor bumps.

This release looks to be mostly house keeping, bug fixes, few minor features, and breaking changes being the legacy api key auth removal, best I can tell it’s just the name of the key is changed from api_key to ApiKey.

@notfromhere @besmtt The bug fixes in this version are MASSIVE.

There were serious performance issues with the new database which caused a lot of larger instances to revert and hold on 10.10.7. I moved up to 10.11.x purely for the security updates, but the decision had consequences and effectively bricked multiple collections.

It is not an understatement to say that I have been counting the days till 12.0 since the release of 10.11.0. I created a GitHub account because of the bugs patched in this version. I have normal people blowing my phone up after I notified them about the release candidate, and thus I have normal people asking me to spin up a test server so they can use it.

10.11.0 was a major release for the future of the software, but 12.0 is a major release for the users of today. This announcement, at the tail end of June, made good on my prediction in December. I am beyond excited for this.

Does anyone know of a Jellyfish client that looks and acts as YouTube Kids ?

Hmm... not sure about a specific client... but maybe you could create a child profile and then make sure all your media has the correct parental ratings? Then you can limit the profile to a certain rating.

Not sure what specifically about YouTube Kids you want.

UX/UI easy enough for a 5 y/o kid.

Awesome!

Always great to see updates on this and hopefully hopefully finally it gets to the point where it can compete with Netflix for my wife... I have a nice library but she refuses to use jellyfin (on Google TV device) because well, too many bugs, too many broken features still. Soon though!

I for one would love to finally see that scrubbing with thumbnail images work, like Netflix does. Supposedly it's been there for years now but it never once worked for me

Also improvement in subtitles would be nice, it's still a headache to get subtitles to work well, even though it's a lot better than before

The UI (at least on Google TV) really should be improved as well, it is almost impossible to nicely look for movies with larger libraries. I want to watch a comedi movie, let's see what I have? Go to movies, which get this weird in between screen where I have to select by genre, name, and a few other options. Okay, select genre. Then I get rows for each genre and each row has tiny icons for each of the hundreds of movies all on one row, sorted alphabetically... so I scroll, and scroll and scroll and.. well, scroll some more and 20 seconds later, I'm at "B"

I'd hope to be able to say something like "show me Comedy movies, and I have a full screen grid of all Comedy movies where I can oder by name, year, etc.. maybe sub filtering? And I'd like much MUCH bigger icons

Anyways, not trying to complain, just hoping I can one day actually give my wife the remote and that she watches whatever she wants to watch. The current UI is ready for power users like me, but not the average user yet
