Why jump from 10.11.11 directly to 12.0? -> Blog Post

You can find more details about and discuss this release on the official forums.

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

Direct upgrades from 10.10.7 and 10.11.x to 12.0 are supported; intermediate upgrades are not required. Users running releases older than 10.10.7 are strongly encouraged to upgrade to 10.10.7 before migrating to 12.0.

Installed repository plugins (anything not built-in) should also be removed before migrating. Plugins will likely need time to adapt to the new database changes, so re-adding them afterward is the safest approach for testing.

Official plugins compatible with Jellyfin are available through the stable plugin repository. If you have changed to the unstable plugin repository please change it back.
Go to Dashboard -> Plugins -> Manage Repositories
Update the Plugin Repository URL to: https://repo.jellyfin.org/files/plugin/manifest.json
After migrating please perform the following steps.
Perform a full library scan to restore alternative versions
Run the "Optimize database" scheduled task

I know it’s not the same but quick connect works well. Why not log in that way using a six digit code?

[–] EncryptKeeper@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Couple reasons.

Jellyfin is not security software, and given the inconsistency and general lack of polish of every other aspect of Jellyfin, its raw login page is not something I’d comfortably expose to the internet to begin with.
Quick connect is a poor, unintuitive imitation of Device Flow. A non-technical user would have to also have a Jellyfin app or bookmark in their phone already, and know where to navigate in it to reach the quick connect function. This on its own is insurmountable.
It’s not SSO. Jellyfin is yet another username and password they must remember when every single other thing I self host supports OIDC out of the box and they get one user account for everything.
