If you're using **Finamp** to stream or download music from your **Jellyfin** server and encountering a blank (or grey) screen when opening an album page—where no tracks load and you may need to force-close the app—this is a common issue, especially after upgrading Jellyfin to version 10.11.x.

This problem typically occurs due to changes in how Jellyfin handles music metadata in newer versions, causing Finamp to fail loading album tracks properly.

### The Fix: Refresh Metadata in Jellyfin (Search for Missing Metadata)

The most reliable workaround is to force Jellyfin to refresh your music library metadata:

1. Log in to your Jellyfin web dashboard (admin account recommended).
2. Go to **Dashboard** \> **Libraries**.
3. Select your **Music** library.
4. Click the three dots (...) menu next to the library name.
5. Choose **Refresh Metadata**.
6. In the refresh options:
  - Check **Search for missing metadata**.
  - Optionally enable other options like "Replace existing images" or "Replace all metadata" if needed.
7. Click **Refresh** (or OK) to start the scan.

**Note:** This process can take several minutes depending on your library size. Once done, restart Finamp and try opening albums again—they should now load tracks normally.

### Additional Notes on Jellyfin 10.11.x

- The Finamp team and users have reported **performance regressions** in Jellyfin 10.11.x, particularly with music libraries (slower loading, higher resource usage).
- If possible, consider staying on or downgrading to Jellyfin 10.10.x for better performance until fixes are fully rolled out in later 10.11 patches.
- For me. I can confirm that even on the latest 10.11.x, the metadata refresh resolves the blank album issue, and overall functionality works well afterward.
