Jellyfin 12.0 is a major stable release that completes the database conversion started in 10.11, delivers significant performance improvements, and adds long-awaited support for books and comics. The upgrade requires a full manual backup, a mandatory library rescan, and users must be on 10.10.7+ before migrating due to schema changes and case-insensitive username enforcement.
Background
Jellyfin is a free and open-source media server and streaming platform, widely used as an alternative to Plex for organizing and streaming personal media libraries.
