Mine is doing this as well. Every restart of JF causes it to lose all the settings.
@Jurrer commented on GitHub (Dec 21, 2025):
You have two TubeArchivist plugins active at the same time, Version=1.4.3.0 and Version=1.4.2.0.
Remove the old ones, either in Jellyfin dashboard or just remove the file from the directory
/config/data/plugins/TubeArchivistMetadata_1.4.[version number]Another thing I see in the log, that
TubeArchivist URLmight be incorrect, and the XML file with configurations can't be created - that's why configuration disappears after restarting.Do you have the protocol in the URL? (http:// or https://)
@Nitrousoxide commented on GitHub (Dec 24, 2025):
This is also happening to me. I only have one instance of the plugin in my plugin directory, and the config directory isn't R/O or something. After adding the info back into the settings via the GUI in jellyfin it does populate the xml file under
/config/data/plugins/configurations/Jellyfin.Plugin.TubeArchivistMetadata.xml (from within the container) so it is able to r/w that directory fine.
And yes, that directory is mounted to the host as a persistent mount so it survives container recreations. No other plugin seems to lose configuration after updates or a container reset.

This is the case for me, too, but I have never intentionally done anything to have two or more version installed at the same time. I can also only see on version installed in the plugin section of the dashboard, for the other version that gets referenced in the logs, I see the 'Install' button on the plugin management screen, which means I also can't uninstall the older version via the UI. Looks to me like there are problems with the way the update is done, either on the jellyfin side or the plugin side.
Could you look into what is causing the issue so it does not need manual intervention?
Edit: I manually deleted the old config directory. It was 1.4.2.0 for me, too. Afterwards, the settings were kept after restart. Could be that only this version was having problems. I will try to report back after the next update.
@Jurrer commented on GitHub (Dec 29, 2025):
Jellyfin is keeping previous plugin versions after updating them. Im not sure if it is a bug or intended.
Glad it worked for you.
Edit: it is a known case, discussed here
Are you using Linuxserver image?
