Good morning. It's September 19th, and today's developer activity splits cleanly into two efforts: bringing Jellyfin support current, and cleaning up a metadata mix-up that's been sending users to the wrong web pages.
Start with Jellyfin. In PR 6163, deluan bumps the advertised Jellyfin version from 10.9.11 all the way to 12.1.0. This isn't cosmetic — clients like Streamyfin, the Jellyfin Android apps, and Swiftfin actively refuse to sign in or throw warnings against the old version number. Alongside that version bump, the PR…
The second theme is a metadata bug with two independent fixes landing almost simultaneously. The problem: when ListenBrainz is prioritized ahead of Last-dot-F-M in agent ordering, its artist U-R-L — which is always the official homepage, never a Last.fm profile — was leaking into the "Last.fm" button in Subsonic…
What to remember: if you're running Navidrome as a Jellyfin-compatible server, expect client sign-in behavior to improve once these land, but re-test SDK version checks against 12.1.0. And if you use ListenBrainz alongside Last.fm agents, this cleans up a genuine UX papercut in Subsonic clients.
That's the briefing for September 19th. Back tomorrow.
