Jellyfin

10.3.0 release.

Release Notes

• This release makes non-backwards-compatible changes to the users.db database (#870). Ensure you take a backup of this database (with Jellyfin stopped) before upgrading if you wish to revert back to an earlier release.

• This release requires Windows users move the data directory from %APPDATA%\jellyfin to %LOCALAPPDATA%\jellyfin (#851). This is automatic with install-jellyfin.ps1. Based on RC testing this shouldn’t cause any long-term problems.

• The 3rd-party API no longer accepts pre-hashed passwords for authentication; the clients MUST send a plaintext password, and this MUST be encrypted via HTTPS to avoid password leakage. Administrators who do not use HTTPS already (either in-app or via reverse proxy) are strongly encouraged to do so.

• Plugins installed with Jellyfin 10.2.Z might not upgrade properly due to a bug in the plugin management system that has now been corrected. If you encounter errors while upgrading a plugin, the easiest solution is to remove the plugin first, then re-add it. To preserve configuration as well, delete the plugin directory on the filesystem (e.g. in Debuntu/Fedora under /var/lib/jellyfin/plugins) the reinstall the newer version.

• Users of Yatse should remove then re-add their Jellyfin server as the new Jellyfin type or authentication may fail.

• OpenSubtitles support has been moved to a plugin.

Major features

• Uses the Kestrel web server instead of the previous homebrew web server.
• The insecure authentication system has been revamped to store passwords more securely and enable future external authentication.
• Individual user passwords can be reset without affecting other users.
• A mostly-Webpack-compatible WebUI.
• More translations.
• Numerous bugfixes around both the front- and back-end.
