Hello,

since the newest Update (10.11) I fetch an error starting my JellyFin-Docker. I didn't change anything. Any guess? Maybe a bug?

I am not sure but I restarted my server and the last notice in the logs is

[2025-12-07 13:34:21.740 +01:00] [INF] [12] Main: Running query planner optimizations in the database... This might take a while

Is it possible that my database was corrupted because of the restart? If yes, is this fixable?

Thanks in advance

sounds like you interrupted the migration.
you can try and restore your old library and try migration again (automatic) as per the release notes: https://jellyfin.org/posts/jellyfin-release-10.11.0/

Hi everyone,

I’m having trouble getting the Plugin Catalog to appear in Jellyfin on Unraid. No matter which container I use, the Catalog tab is missing under Dashboard → Plugins.

What I’ve tried so far

• Installed official Jellyfin image (jellyfin/jellyfin) – no Catalog.

• Installed LSIO Jellyfin container (lscr.io/linuxserver/jellyfin) – also no Catalog.

• Deleted /mnt/user/appdata/jellyfin fully and let Jellyfin recreate a fresh config.

• Confirmed networking works.

• Confirmed metadata and images download correctly.

• Permissions appear correct:

  • PUID = 99

  • PGID = 100

What I need help with

• Does Jellyfin no longer support the Plugin Catalog on Docker installs under Unraid?

• Is there a required folder or permission change to make the Catalogue appear?

• Are there known issues with the Catalog on Unraid 7.1.x?

• Should I be using a different container template (Binhex... etc)?

Despite clean installs, the Catalog remains completely missing, even though logs show plugin manager loading correctly.

---

If you can provide guidance or have a working setup with the Catalog visible, I would greatly appreciate your help.

Thank you!

Hello, I am having an issue setting up Tailscale with this container. It looks like there was a previous different issue about a year ago (mentioned in this thread), which presented similarly but was fixed.

I am on Unraid 7.0.0 and the latest version of this container.

Im having the same issue is there any fix for this? i can no longer use tailscale with jellyfin

The error message is clear: error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)

:: installing aspnet-runtime (10.0.0.sdk100-1) breaks dependency 'aspnet-runtime-9.0' required by jellyfin-server. So there appears to be a version mismatch. Usually these dependency errors go away as soon as the dependency is fulfilled. That needs someone to upload the right version of a package. So patience is needed here.

Seems to be an Unraid problem, binhex has a fully functional container... how is Binhex supposed to anticipate what random scripts get injected by the Unraid OS?

Hello, I'm trying to add some menu links to jellyfin using this: https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/clients/web-config/. Does anyone know where the config.json is stored for this container?

I was able to update the container today and this appears to be fixed now.

I am pretty new unraid and servers in general. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the Jellyfin app and checked owners/permissions. I am not sure why this is happening. The Server has been running great for months. I recently had to rebuild from a bit read error on one of my media drives and this has been happening ever since. I thought it was a corrupted file but deleting and adding new one didn't help. At this point I have completely deleted all files and clean installed the image. I also used the official Jellyfin image and did not get any errors. So I am at a loss. I have looked at quite a few treads to get this far, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Edit.... I posted this on the general unraid FAQ and the MOD told me to come here.

This new Binhex-Jellyfin update that came out today. It wont apply. I have done it like 3 times and still says apply-update. Anyone else?

Just a heads up - watch out for this when it lands, it could be a bumpy ride!:- https://www.neowin.net/news/jellyfin-12-ships-with-version-jump-and-breaking-client-changes/

Hey good people

I have an issue, i installed binhex-jellyfin with a nightly build to get the new jellyfin 12 version.. Now i tried to get it back to a stable version, but how do i do that?? Tried to set the repos to jellyfin/jellyfin:latest. From lscr.io/linuxserver/jellyfin:nightly But thats a no go:( That will not work.. Anyone with an idea??

Thank you!

Thanks for the heads up!

If i wanted to play it safe an stay on 10.11 until 3rd party plugins catch up and probably the first minor release of the 12.x series lands, I assume the best Docker repo tag to use is binhex/arch-jellyfin:10.11

Much appreciated for letting everyone know! Love the other *arr containers you maintain.

I was wondering when arch-Jellyfin is planned to be updated to 12?

Let me know if you need anyone to test it, I’d be happy to help!

no idea!, but when it does drop on Arch Repository it will be automatically built by the github action workflow.

i actually have 4 sets of tags, each with less specfics than the last, for example:

latest - always the latest build, irrespective of the release number
10.11.1 - most specific, only match this specific release number

10.11 - less specific, match any 10.11.xx release number, where xx is any release number

10 - least specific, match any 10.xx.xx release number, where xx.xx is any release number

so if you want to pick up the very last v10 release then set your tag to binhex/arch-jellyfin:10 then when you are ready either set this to 12 or change to latest

From lscr.io/linuxserver/jellyfin:nightly

You are in the wrong support thread, this is for binhex jellyfin not LSIO jellyfin

OK it looks like v12 dropped yesterday, here are the upgrade notes (full notes release notes here):

> Notes on Updating

Before upgrading from an earlier version, a full backup of the data directory is strongly recommended, as this release includes database changes that prevent rolling back without a full restore.

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

Before anybody asks - yes it will be built soon but depends on the upstream Arch repository package being bumped, once that's done the build will be automatically built, no need to nag me, if you want to monitor the upstream package it's here (you can see its flagged out of date)

Thanks for that, yeah that's a poor design choice, up to 5 minute wait on shutdown?!, hmmm, def should be done on startup, not shutdown, and any 'optimisations' should be performed on a copy of the db, not directly on the live db, if the optimisation succeeds then the copied optimised db gets gets used on next run, if not it gets deleted and the process loops.

My apologies, I was unaware this was an automatic process, makes sense.

What a questionable change, this should never be ran before a shutdown. Incredible oversight there by the devs.

Looking forward to the new Binhex Jellyfin v.12 release. Take your time.
