#jellyfin — Public Fediverse posts

Plasma bigscreen has serious potential, before I try it again I'd like to see:

Standalone spin from the likes of #fedora or #bazzite without the desktop stuff

Better #kdeconnect integration

10ft ui support in native apps( #jellyfin #stremio #freetube ) so, I don't have to think about Waydroid unless for some edge case

Really good Waydroid integration for edge cases

Plasma bigscreen is so close to being that truly open platform we want, instead of the AndroidTV shit we get served instead.

Amusing. I wrestled and wrestled several evenings this week and finally got #ente installed #selfhosted. Much like #JellyFin before it, as soon as I got working with it I disliked it. I"m going to shut it down and try #immich.

The two deal breakers for me were:

• No tags. Ente literally doesn't let you tag photos. It has facial recognition and "favourites." But no tags.
• No hierarchy. I don't understand how someone puts 60,000 photos into a series of albums that have no hierarchy. No folders, no nested albums. Just a straight, flat topology of albums.

JellyFin was like that with video. No way to organize MY way. Only their way or the highway.

It's kinda sad to see BigTech tainting technology to the point where people feel it's best to drop the tech all together.

The "comeback of physical media" is an example. People again investing money in CD's and CD players, because they want to "own rather than rent".

Oki, you at least own the CD, but it's especially bad when this appear to span to DVD's as well. You own a physical DVD disk, sure, but we should remember region locks, content protection and all the stuff that makes your ability to play the content of a DVD a "borrowed time" experience.

But the CD marked was dominated by the same kinda companies that now run streaming. Why desire to go back to this?

Why not turn to sites like #bandcamp where you can buy music from those that make it?

It seems like the "time in the middle", the time where we carried an mp3 collection with us, is forgotten. With the new capacities on storage, we can have the audio in better quality than CD.

Also, software like #Jellyfin exists to stream our OWN music.

I updated my jellyfin instance to version 12.0 and its cleaned up all the dead links to all the media I removed and has started ingesting new media again. If you've been having issues with jellyfin not ingesting new media/not removing old media, I recommend updating to the latest version #jellyfin

I was all excited to upgrade to Jellyfin 12 tonight...only to find the upgrade fails catastrophically with fatal database errors.

Apparently a fix is in progress, so I guess it's back to 10.11.11 for me.

Maybe hold off upgrading to 12 for now unless you adventurous, and make sure to back up your data!

looks interesting... do you know about any official postgres database provider plugin project?

#jellyfin #postgresQL #selfhosting

I wonder if there's a way to make #Jellyfin wait when new media is added into monitored folders, before commencing the metadata extract process. Like 10 mins after the last file has arrived or something like that.

#Jellyfin question

New version broke something for me. I understand why but I need a new approach.

Normally you have to put episodes in a specific show folder to get it picked up. But previous version you could dump a file into the root of the shows folder and it would at least show in the recent episodes list. For ephemeral episodes who cares?

Now they don't show anywhere.

Trying to think of the best place to put ephemeral episodes and have them show up easily

Ya estas con @jellyfin 12?, yo sí. Algunos cambios en características y mejoras en la experiencia., como alguna de sus novedades.

Para esto tengo mi viejuna Pc de 32 bits, sirviendo desde esta al resto de la LAN, eso sí el cliente, se encarga de la Reproducción Directa:, el servidor solo envía el archivo original sin modificarlo ya el l cliente decodifica, Logrando que: el servidor no use recursos (CPU o GPU).

:haacknet: Haack's Networking :haacknet:

✅️ I am currently in my 20th year in education and over the years I've worked in both secondary and college. I've been a sysadmin longer, having started at the NM Coalition for Literacy in 2000 while finishing college on the "long plan." I pivoted in 2018 back to the private sector and then back again to education in 2022. I've maintained this side company/DBA, Haack's Networking, throughout the entirety and I still have clients to this day that I began with in the early 2000s.

✍️ I've always been struck by the prohibitive cost of software. As a young kid, I remember my father purchased me MetroWorks CodeWarrior for learning C for my LC475 68K mac. I read somewhere in 1992 that I should learn C so that's why I asked for it. Over those next few months, it's hard to explain the frustration I felt at trying to keep the abstractions separated. Open firmware, vs. mac's OS at that time, vs., the IDE and C I was supposed to be learning. It helped at disambiguating abstractions, but was useless at teaching me C. I still suck at C. The package was pretty costly nevertheless.

📻️ While in my early days as a sysadmin, I remember the Adobe suites, Microsoft suites, etc., that we were obligated to keep up to date and purchase for our non-profit. We also had tons of macs, 5 laser printers, early flat panel displays, an early NAS, and a hard firewall (Sonic something). It was not sustainable for this non-profit whatsoever. After the prior Director left - who I still consider a mentor and friend to this day - others took over who made an effort to reduce spending and keep the tech lifts in line with reality. It was slow and painful, but/and I learned that costly is not better.

Anyone else out there noticing that newer tv series shows on physical bluray discs are pre-encoded already to h264, and the quality is bad? Most bluray movies and older (pre-2024) bluray tv shows on discs were in the raw mpeg2video codecs and had the highest quality. I don't mind paying for my physical bluray media but if this is what the RIAA has in store for us then I'm out.

Muốn dùng chung playlist giữa MusicBee trên PC và Jellyfin/Kodi? Vấn đề thường do đường dẫn file khác nhau. Bạn có thể mở file playlist (.m3u) và chỉnh sửa đường dẫn thủ công cho khớp với server. Sau đó playlist sẽ hoạt động trên mọi thiết bị.

Brb, reencoding all movies and shows to AV1.
75% storage reduction is just too good to pass.

Yes, I‘m storing the original Mkv, why do you ask?

Ich glaube ich schaue mir am Wochenende mal #Volumio genauer an. Könnte ein weiterer Baustein sein, um meine Abhängigkeit von #alexa zu reduzieren.
Wahrscheinlich in Kombination mit #homeassistant , #musicassistant und #jellyfin .
