Video is transcoding due to unsupported subtitle codec
2 projects | /r/jellyfin | 26 May 2023

You could try Jellyfin-MPV-Shim but it’s not much of a UI and I don’t know if the playback will be any different from Jellyfin Media Player. Same thing about playback goes for JellyPlayer.

when should I stop adding docker containers to my Unraid?
3 projects | /r/unRAID | 21 Jun 2023

pretty sure all of them require an authenticated user but this one was just fresh in my mind: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-web/security/advisories/GHSA-89hp-h43h-r5pq

I noticed there is a feature request HERE and an already merged PR HERE. I'm running the current Jellyfin 10.8.10 via docker.
Books / author / Book
2 projects | /r/jellyfin | 31 May 2023

I don't think it's currently possible to define additional data for an author (like a small summary of the authors works etc.), like the TV shows and movies do via online metadata providers. That there is no author's page and that a book series isn't grouped together is as far as I'm aware a limitation of the GUI ( https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-web ).
When will jellyfin-android 2.5.2 will release? Is there a way for me to get latest version on github and not wait for the release on google play store?
2 projects | /r/jellyfin | 20 May 2023

If you build everything from source you also need to build the web client, so a small dive into the whole JavaScript / Node.js ecosystem will be required.

If this is not easily fixed im done with Jellyfin
2 projects | /r/jellyfin | 1 May 2023

Help With Custom Menu Links
3 projects | /r/jellyfin | 27 Apr 2023

You only have a part of the config.json file. Here's the rest. My config.json looks like this and I have my custom menu links. I did have to go into the site settings and clear all cache/data for them to show up.
Why does Jellyfin transcode a perfectly playable video stream if just the audio needs to be transcoded?
1 project | /r/jellyfin | 26 Apr 2023

Mh. I would claim that AV1 is the problem here. But looking at this issue here AV1 should work in combination with WebM.
