Cool. There's a db fail bug elsewhere that I didn't run into thankfully.
I had to switch from ConfusedPolarBear(archived on GitHub now) to this fork for intro skipping. Works great.
I'm still scanning for the new trickplay function but I've been hoping for something like that. It was disabled in the settings by default, plus you have to enable it on a per-library basis, and of course you can either wait for the schedule to start the scan, or start it yourself in scheduled tasks.
I guess not. To be fair, if I wanted intro skipping to be baked in to whatever I'm using, I'd pay $5 or $6/month for Plex or Emby. I paid for Plex Pass for years, but I'm switching away because I think Plex is getting too "commercial" if that makes sense.
Jellyfin is great so far, and if I have to spend 5 minutes installing an add-on to get intro skipping, that's fine with me.
Hoping that it gets included soon as the folks developing the Android TV client have said they don't want to support intro skipping until it's part of Jellyfin core. Until then the only option is auto skipping and I don't really want to do that.
I thought intro-skipping had been included in Jellyfin now but this doesn't seem to be the case (can't find it in release notes) … Thanks for the tip for the 10.9 plugin 😸
You don’t actually need to run down first. Just a docker compose pull if you haven’t made any changes, then docker compose up -d will restart whatever needs to be restarted.
I wish there was some kind of place where we could croudsource impressions and fixes for new versions of docker images.
Manjaro does something like this for their releases. They also have a survey that indicates how well things went (although it's participant biased to some degree since folks who had a problem tend to vote more than people who didn't).
It would be amazing to be able to pop in and see that jellyfin had a couple of new releases, that one of them does much better than the others in terms of overall quality, and what kind of issues there are (and how to fix them).
Unfortunately I set mine up with synology’s own container manager (many regrets) and so far I’ve not been able to bump anything. Will have another go when I’m home but I may up up tearing it all down and starting again using docker compose. Seems like the better option
The latest version of Synology with the container manager allows you to update images from the registry and will restart the container for you.
But I still migrated to docker compose to enable hw transcoding with quicksync
That is also my understanding. But for whatever reason, after updating the image and restarting the container, Jellyfin is still reporting 10.8 on the admin dashboard 😢
I did not yet upgrade to the latest version, but to migrate to compose I only had to copy the volume paths and the environment variables from Synology.
I can share my compose yaml by the end of the day if you need.
Before I upgrade I will try putting the cache on a SSD instead, seems it can improve performance quite a bit
When I first set up my jf docker image I left the config and data directories in the docker container instead of pointing them outside.
Now when I try to update I lose all my metadata. Is there a way to move those folders before I upgrade?
Edit-typos
You're just running in docker, so you'd want to make sure you map a local folder into your container (at a different location than they are already!), then get into the container and copy your files to the host's mapped folder. Once that's complete, update your docker to point your local folder to the proper config location and it should keep everything local after you upgrade.
Edit: In my compose, I have this line
/jellyfin/jellyfin-data:/config
so you could map it to :/backup on your first boot, copy /config to /backup, then update your compose to map it to /config and you're good to go!
Glad to hear it. I'll be honest, I wasn't aware of that command, I've just always done it the hard way and logged into the console of the container. I have this line in my .bashrc on all my docker hosts:
alias docker-console='docker exec -it "${PWD##*/}" bash'
I feel like there is a way to copy stuff from docker-volumes to disk and then point docker to the folders on the disk as external volumes, I think I've done that at some point years back, but not sure how to do it exactly.
