Disable check for new versions

[jelabarre59]

On the Linux Jellyfin-media-player, how do I set it to NOT check for updates at startup? It will want to install a version of the client that requires the Jellyfin 1.9 server, which is not yet available for Fedora.

It requires Jellyfin 10.9 because earlier versions do not work. See this pinned issue: #624

So how do I set my current client (jellyfin-media-player-1.9.1-1.fc39.x86_64) to not check for newer versions? Until Jellyfin Server 1.9 is available on Fedora, I don't want it checking.

On Windows 10, you can find this setting by clicking your avatar in the top right corner and selecting Client Settings. Then, uncheck the CheckForUpdates box to turn off update checks.

I'm not sure if the Jellyfin media player on Linux has this option too, but I hope this helps as a reference!

There's a checkbox in the same place, but Jellyfin server v10.9 is on Fedora now. Granted, now that I'm not at my old job I may be switching back to Linux Mint anyway.
