Fantastic! What they're missing from the announcement: HOW YOU GET THE NEW TRICKPLAY FEATURE (preview images as you scrub along the seek bar) 1. Upgrade Jellyfin 2. If you configured hardware decoding, go to Dashboard -> Playback -> Trickplay and enable hardware decoding. Note that the hardware decoding needed is MJPEG, it's quite possible the hardware decoding your system supports does _not_ support that even though it supports other formats, so check before you enable this. 3. Go to Dashboard -> Libraries and for each library, chose ... -> Manage Library, scroll down to the new Trickplay section, and tick "Enable Trickplay" and "Extract trickplay images during the scan" (as it makes clear, this does not slow the scan down, it just kicks off the asynchronous task immediately during scan rather than as a scheduled daily task later) 4. Go to Dashboard -> Advanced -> Scheduled Tasks and run Generate Trickplay Images

Thank you so much ! It's a bit too tricky to enable if you ask me, but it works very well.

  This is about the only time I'd be OK with those (otherwise obnoxious) popups you get in apps once they've updated version. If Jellyfin showed a "major changes" popup when an admin logs in the dashboard after an update, they could perhaps include a special call-to-action button just for enabling the new feature. Of course, they could also have a help documentation page for telling upgraders how to enable the feature, and link it in the announcement. After all, the announcement is how I found out there was even an upgrade to apply. Nonetheless, I'm just glad that the upgrade didn't break anything! I think it's also the right choice to keep existing metadata as-is, and leave it to the admin to turn on options, plugins, etc. and refresh it at their leisure to pick up these new code paths.
