Sync issues with Jellyfin

Support

Hi Tolriq,

Thanks for all your hard work on Yatse. I’ve been using it for many years now and I’m a big fan. Also the fact that you allow people to buy it outside of the Google Play Store is great, makes us less dependent on Google.

Issue description:

I have a small RPi server running Yunohost, running Jellyfin. I used to have Arch Linux running on it, also hosting Jellyfin, and that worked fine, but I wanted to make updates a little easier so I recently tried Yunohost (a self-hosting Linux distro). Unfortunately, I’m having issues syncing Jellyfin’s database to Yatse on my Android.

Syncing the movies and tv series goes well, but music keeps saying syncing, until it seemingly gives up and says “no data”. If I then swipe up, it starts syncing data again.

I left it up syncing for hours now, forcing my screen to stay on to prevent any sleep issues, but it still stalls on “no data” after a while. I also tried removing the Jellyfin server from Yatse and then re-adding it.

Looking at the log, I see a lot of 504 Gateway Time-out errors… So it might be a server thing. But I’m not sure how to go about fixing it.

Logs:

Link to my Yatse log (detailing an attempt with a freshly added server, with one additional attempt to sync after it said “no data” around 21:15): Gofile - Cloud Storage Made Simple (link works for 10 days)

I also included the Jellyfin log for completion’s sake:

Do not use Jellyfin 10.11 for music.

Oh! Aw, man… I didn’t expect that. Yes, googling shows that there’s apparently some issues with that release regarding music. Should I upgrade to a newer version or downgrade to an older version? I kind of don’t want to do either, but :person_shrugging:

Thanks for the swift reply, in any case!

I think I’ll just install Navidrome next to Jellyfin, instead, at least until the issues with Jellyfin are sorted out. I don’t really feel like faffing about with downgrades / testing builds.

I understand that you made a client for it, too—Symfonium? I’ll have to check it out!
