Software Update: Jellyfin 10.8.5

Version 10.8.5 of Jellyfin has been released. This media server is a fork of Emby and was created after Emby became closed source and so-called premium features had to be paid for, as is also the case with Plex. However, Jellyfin has remained completely open source and all functionality is present. It runs on Windows, macOS, Linux or in a Docker container. Furthermore there are clients for any OS, but also for media players, TVs and mobile devices. The following changes and improvements have been made in this release:
