3 clean windows 10 systems, error 0x0000143 Uninstalled, and reinstalled, same. Uninstalled, re-downloaded older version, back online. Thanks for the missing hour... Not ready for the public release... Only reason I installed was it wanted to update. May want to consider disabling that feature until some knows what they are doing...

[makanimike]

same. 1.12.0. will not launch on my Windows 10 PC. I get a 0x0000142 error though.
Downgraded back to 1.11.1 for the time being.

[iwalton3]

The x64-legacy build which was just added should fix this error. It happened because the version of MPV we upgraded to for the main x64 build doesn't support CPUs without the following instructions:

avx avx2 bmi bmi2 fma lzcnt movbe sse3 sse4 sse4.1 sse4.2 ssse3 xsave sahf mwait crc32 cx16 popcnt f16c

[xxzandy]

Any possibilities to create Windows installer that would detect the CPU. I have multiple Haswell, Broadwell, Skylake, Kabylake -era computers with Jellyfin player.

[laska140493]

Yup, same for me on Windows 11 24h2 PC

After opening the software, it reports a d3dcompiler_47.dll error. The version used is JellyfinMediaPlayer-1.12.0-windows-x64-legacy. Because the JellyfinMediaPlayer-1.12.0-windows-x64 version cannot run, my CPU model is relatively old and I cannot use the JellyfinMediaPlayer-1.12.0-windows-x64 version. However, after opening the JellyfinMediaPlayer-1.12.0-windows-x64-legacy version, it reports a d3dcompiler_47.dll error. However, after clicking OK on the error, it can be used normally. Every time you open the software, it will report that d3dcompiler_47.dll cannot locate the program input point.

Any chance of the flatpak version getting an update?

[iwalton3]

I published it but it doesn't look like the publish went through? I am going to tell it to rebuild.

https://buildbot.flathub.org/#/builders/6/builds/187974

[iwalton3]

Okay the actual issue is flathub sometimes manually holds up application publish jobs indefinitely. You'll note the publish job claims to be successful on that page but if you look closer it says it isn't actually published.

https://buildbot.flathub.org/#/builders/2/builds/88726
https://docs.flathub.org/blog/improved-build-validation

To bypass this in the mean time, install from the test repo using this command:

flatpak install --user https://dl.flathub.org/build-repo/171540/com.github.iwalton3.jellyfin-media-player.flatpakref

Note that the test builds don't get automatic updates and will eventually expire. If this is a long term issue I'll throw a copy of the build in a more stable location.

[ImCannibal]

looks like the test repo is busted too

[iwalton3]

New test build:

flatpak install --user https://dl.flathub.org/build-repo/171540/com.github.iwalton3.jellyfin-media-player.flatpakref

[Solar040]

Ah well thanks. Its finally through onto Flathub now, however attempting to play anything just results in the application quitting for whatever reason.

HDR content being played as if unsupported (washed out colors) with the latest update on Apple Silicon

[igotcha]

can not use by macOS 12.7.2

[iwalton3]

The macos 12 runner on GitHub Actions is discontinued so I can only build for 13 and newer.

[igotcha]

Unfortunately, my MacBook Pro is too old to be upgraded to 13.

Unfortunately, my MacBook Pro is too old to be upgraded to 13.

@igotcha , could consider using OpenCore; just in case you were unaware of the project

[thoja21]

@iwalton3 Can we update the release notes to reflect this?

[dzaqwan]

How do I skip intro now? It did work perfectly on previous version

[r1sim]

Jellyfin started to officially support media segments in v10.10. You have to enable the skip button in your client settings and install the intro-skipper plugin.

[ursmilesopretty]

Hello, I am having issue with the mac client.
My setup is the server is on a linux machine on my home network, my mac client is also on my home network.
I am able to connect on the mac via the web UI, but for the media player client, I can only select my server, the log in would fail and "quick connect" is also unavailable.
Is there some hidden network setting on mac that causing this? or there are some problem with the client itself? Thanks

[Aviatorpaal]

Yay! Now 10-bit HDR/Dolby Vision is displayed correctly when direct streaming to a MacOS Apple Silicon M3 Pro Macbook Pro. All the content was overexposed earlier, even without transcoding to SDR

Installed the compiled .deb for Noble Numbat with apt and I have no sounds playing on any of the videos. Videos play fine but with no audio.
