We're excited to announce a brand new release of Jellyfin for Android TV, version 0.20! This update comes with redesigned settings, support for more subtitle formats, better external playback and much more.

We are pleased to bring you Jellyfin 12.0, our new stable release. This release continues in the same direction as 10.11: finishing what the database conversion started, turning that new foundation into real performance work, and finally giving books and comics the support they have deserved for years.

If you just want a quick summary of what you need to know to get your system upgraded and running, please read on to the "TL; DR" section just below, or keep reading for a full explanation of all the major features and improvements in Jellyfin 12.0! You can also view full changelogs on the server and web GitHub releases.

We're excited to announce the release of Jellyfin for Android 2.7! This release introduces one of the largest updates to the app so far, with a completely redesigned downloads experience, revamped Android Auto support, major playback improvements, and many bug fixes and quality-of-life enhancements.

Welcome to the second edition of State of the Fin! This update will be slightly different to the previous one as we don't have as many large updates to announce (yet)! Still, we want to keep you informed on what is happening and what the Jellyfin development team are working on. Please enjoy, and contribute through our standard channels if you have questions or comments.

Happy New Year and welcome to the State of the Fin! This new blog series will regularly basis highlight the ongoing development of Jellyfin and our official clients. We aim to keep our community informed and engaged, so feel free to share your feedback or thoughts on our progress!

From refreshed user interface elements to playback improvements, there are many changes across the board in the latest update of Jellyfin for Android TV.

We are pleased to bring you Jellyfin 10.11.0, our new stable release. This is probably one of, if not the, biggest and most impactful releases we've done yet, with some massive backend changes to improve performance and long-term expandability and maintainability. This release has been a long time coming, with over 6 months of development and another 6 months of RC testing, throwing our planned 6-month release schedule completely out of whack, but we definitely think the results are worth it - both for users right now, and for the long-term health of the project.

If you just want a quick summary of what you need to know (and you DO need to know!) to get your system upgraded and running, please read on to the "TL; DR" section just below, or keep reading for a full explanation of all the major features and improvements in Jellyfin 10.11.0!

SQLite is a powerful database engine, but due to its design, it has limitations that should not be overlooked.

Jellyfin has used a SQLite-based database for storing most of its data for years, but it has also encountered issues on many systems. In this blog post, I will explain how we address these limitations and how developers using SQLite can apply the same solutions.

This will be a technical blog post intended for developers and everyone wanting to learn about concurrency.

Also Jellyfin's implementation of locking for SQLite should be fairly easy to be implemented into another EF Core application if you are facing the same issue.

Download support is (finally) coming to Jellyfin for iOS!

Better late then never. The Xbox app for Jellyfin now has a new maintainer and its first release in 5 years.
