- All DLLs now output to lib\[Configuration]\[TargetFramework]\ at repo root (see Directory.Build.props)
- .gitignore updated to exclude /lib/
- On first run, startup.json is auto-generated with OS-appropriate default paths (Windows, Linux, macOS, or portable)
- Removes null/example config; generated config is immediately usable and clearly documented
- Extensive new documentation: build output, startup.json logic, visual guides, and code proofs
- Publish profile now deletes existing files for clean deploys
- No breaking changes: existing startup.json files are preserved
- Improves first-run UX, deployment, and cross-platform consistency
Introduces automatic creation of a self-documenting startup.json file on first startup, with example path configurations for Linux, Windows, and portable setups. Adds preset database configurations to database.xml for easy switching between SQLite and PostgreSQL. Refactors database config classes for XML serialization compatibility and ensures database.xml is never empty. Comprehensive documentation and migration guides included.
Added support for configuring all major Jellyfin paths (data, config, cache, log, temp, web) via a `startup.json` file, with priority after CLI and environment variables. Introduced a new `TempDir` option, configurable through CLI, env var, or config file, with backward-compatible defaults. Refactored path resolution logic to integrate file-based config and ensure directory creation. Updated constructors and CLI options to support temp directory. Improved EF Core migration error handling and logging. Added comprehensive documentation and example config files. All changes are backward compatible.
Added README section describing the web client directory (`wwwroot`) and its configuration options. No code logic changes; only environment and documentation updates.
Added Jellyfin.Database.Providers.Postgres project and integrated Npgsql packages for PostgreSQL support. Updated solution and test project references. Refactored code for clarity and performance, including improved string handling, log formatting, and plugin management. Enhanced .editorconfig rules and fixed minor test issues. Added publishing profiles and updated web server setup references. Cleaned up assembly info and cache files.
Now able to successfully build solution
Refactored all C# test files to use explicit namespace declarations and moved all using directives inside the namespace block for consistency. Updated assembly info and cache files to reflect the new build. Adjusted MvcTestingAppManifest.json to use fully qualified assembly names. No functional changes; all updates are related to code style, organization, and project metadata.
