Jellyfin (media bundle) not working after update

Posted by gudlad

Since box updated this morning Jellyfin (and Seerr) won’t work despite showing healthy on dashboard. Can launch connection and it asks for creds (interestingly has a permanent spinning wheel) enter system creds and reports Connection Failure We're unable to connect to the selected server right now. Please ensure it is running and try again. Any ideas please?

I’m sorry — this is a real regression in SparkBox 1.6.720–1.6.722. Those releases could put Jellyfin 10.11.11 in front of data that had already been opened by Jellyfin 12, causing sign-in and Seerr connection failures even while the container looked healthy. The fix is live in SparkBox 1.6.723. On the SparkBox host, run sudo sparkbox update; it restores Jellyfin 12.1 without deleting your library, users, or settings. Please do not reset or delete Jellyfin data. I’ve corrected this version-mismatch guidance so it is not misdiagnosed as a password or data-loss problem for the next person.
