#Jellyfin ist ne coole Sache und ich mag das Projekt.
Trotzdem hat es so seine Macken. Und die sind nicht ohne: Beispielsweise fängt die offizielle App beim Musikplayback an, zu stottern. Nämlich dann, wenn sie nicht mehr im Hintergrund läuft.
Das Problem ist bekannt und liegt wohl daran, dass die App in Grunde nur ein Webbrowser ist, der dann von Android schlafen gelegt wird.
Aber trotzdem. Das ist doch eine absolut grundlegende Funktion. Dass das so schlecht funktioniert, frustriert.
Irgendein Bug im letzten #Jellyfin-Update (10.9.2) macht Sperenzchen, so dass Clients nur noch eingeschränkt bzw. gar nicht mehr funktionieren/connecten. 😩 Halben Tag alles mögliche versucht und jetzt geb ich einfach auf und warte auf einen (hoffentlich baldigen) hotfix. #selfhosting
I actually have the "share my entire viewing history with friends" thing enabled in #plex. It's only fair. I could already spy on what everyone else watched on my server. They might as well be able to see what I watch.
And the only Plex "friends" I have are the tiny handful of family & friends with access to my server.
People used Trakt for a reason. Isn't this basically just that? Plus the boneheaded opt-out decision that will probably sink them.
I have a TCL tv with (with google smart TV software) and have been ingesting TV shows, games, and movies primarily from an xbox using various paid streaming apps for like 15 years. As streaming costs go up I’ve wanted to set up a media server compatible with playing stuff from the xbox and have had some friends suggest Plex so...
Stupid #linux question: I need to find a way to ensure that a network share is mounted at ALL times, even after a reboot. Why. My #jellyfin server loves to punish me and wipe my libraries because specific mounts are not mounted. A simple "sudo mount -a" and a Scan All Libraries fixes the problem but it's still annoying when I install updates and reboot.
Mein Jellyfin Server auf einem Rock64 hat jetzt tatsächlich fast 10 Minuten gebraucht, bis er nach einem Kaltstart wieder verfügbar war. Das ist mir zu lang.
Auf der anderen Seite - wenn er mal läuft, dann reicht der Rock64 für Musikstreaming leistungsmäßig völlig aus.
Will aber eigentlich gerade kein Geld für neues Spielzeug ausgeben :S
My #debian#jellyfin server is consistently freezing after several minutes if I boot and run it with no monitor attached. Having a monitor attached at boot and then disconnecting it seems to resolve the issue. System logs show nothing when freezes occur. Hard to troubleshoot because it doesn't happen if a monitor is plugged in. Anybody have any ideas?
Ich möchte #DVDs für die Kinder auf #Jellyfin ziehen. Manche DVDs öffnet VLC unter Linux, andere (aus der gleichen Box) nicht. Die von VLC abgespielten kann ich dann auch rippen.
Bleiben die, die VLC unter Linux nicht öffnet. Gerade unter Windows probiert, da spielen die ab. Handbrake bleibt da aber auch irgendwann beim Überprüfen hängen.
Habt ihr Ideen oder Tipps, was ich noch versuchen kann?
Last year, I tried out #jellyfin, and found it great, but it missed one (for me) must-have feature; HDR support in the LG app. This made me stick with #plex.
But as Plex has gotten more enshittified, yesterday I decided to give Jellyfin another try. Happy to say that I can now watch HDR videos on my LG TV.
For the rest, I'm quite impressed with it. The only thing missing is a "skip intro" feature.
Uninstalling #Jellyfin for the final time. Tried my best to like it, alongside #Plex, but it's just so horrible-looking, dysfunctional with absolutely no incentive for me to switch. The client apps for it look abysmal by comparison with Plex (and no, I'm not even using Plex Pass, just the free version) The AppleTV app in particular is janky as hell, the poster icons mode for shows literally overlap the titles of each show like the CSS is broken or something. Plex client is easy to install and set up, good looking and simply works.
Far as I'm concerned, IF and when that happens I'll reconsider. For right now it's way more polished than JF and simply works better for this household and its five TVs.
Dear authors of #jellyfin - you DON'T need to store two hundred thousand cache and metadata files in the filesystem. I'm sorry but you just don't. Install a database and get it all in there. On a 16-core machine with all data stored on SSD, you still make us wait almost five straight minutes while the app uninstalls and all the shrapnel files are deleted? Come the hell on. A folder for every alphabetic character and name in every show??
Tonight was the first night it hurt after #Spectrum stopped #cableCard support in our area and cut our card off. We had several finales going on. I'm not paying for their dvr service. I've recorded over the air or via cablecard for +30 years
The tv season is about up and by the next, we will have a remote DVR/PVR setup
We're putting a TV tuner in my brother's system, he has A+ OTA sig & he has fiber
Holy crap, Jellyfin is so friggin' hard to like. However, a secret: if you're using the Jellyfin AndroidTV client, save yourself some heartache and grab an external video player like Vimu. It's $3, and has none of the flaws of ExoPlayer or LibVLC on the platform and you can have Jellyfin just use that to play videos. #jellyfin#homelab
I never expected to be willing to pay for a #music player and yet here we are.
#Symfonium is extremely beautiful, customizable and powerful.
I personally use it with #Jellyfin, although multiple other sources are supported (such as #Plex and #Subsonic)
I really don't mind it not being #FOSS as long as it respects my #privacy and #choices.
