4 days ago Closing this as I've found a kind-of solution, and the latest version of the Roku app is still working with the old install. Still, if anyone looks at this, I hope you note the server update warning was given 2 days before the app update was delivered, which is quite short timing. Hopefully, with the next major update that calls for a version bump you will provide more warning than that; at least across a weekend. (The kind-of solution is TrueNAS Scale has an official Jellyfin install that is 10.9.11, so the Fire stick is working again, mostly. Some music wasn't picked up in the library scan, but that's a server issue, not an app issue.)
Forgive me for asking a question rather than requesting a feature, but this seems more appropriate than selecting a Bug Report. I want to ask if there is going to be a minimum server version bump to 10.9.11 in the near future?
Background: I just saw the version bump for the Android TV/Amazon Fire client but, unfortunately, I am not able to update my Jellyfin server because it is a TrueNAS Scale server and Jellyfin was available via TrueCharts but that support has ended. (That is covered here: TrueNAS Scale TrueCharts Frequently Asked Questions)
In theory, I might be able to rebuild the server with a different operating system, but I'm unsure when or how long this will take. (It isn't the largest server, but I am not particularly experienced and will want to get a new drive for the new OS so I can drop in the old one if I run into a problem.) The warning about the Android TV update requiring a newer version only appeared today (2024-09-30) but I believe I saw that is going live in two days (2024-10-02) which is not even remotely enough time for what I may have to do.
Please tell me either the Roku app is not going to require the bump to 10.9.11, or it will not be for a while yet.
