  • description: Jellyfin has lost project leader and co-founder Joshua Boniface, along with core team members Anthony Lavado and Andrew Rabert, in the space of a few days. In this video, I explain what each has publicly said about leaving, why burnout is a recurring theme, and what Andrew’s departure means for the new Jellium Desktop client. Jellyfin is still active, and nobody has announced that the project is ending. However, no replacement leader has been named publicly. I look at how Jellyfin’s constitution says the next leader should be chosen, what remains unknown, and why the next six months could be important for the project.
