I remember him on Last Comic Standing. Very funny.

100%! I can still replay his heckling in my head.

I’m one of the programmers of the Jellyfin Roku client. Would you mind sharing what things you found to be buggy and annoying in the client? We’re always looking for feedback for things to work on and improve.

I’m also a big TV show watcher. All the things you mentioned I’ve had no issue with in the Roku client.

My first question would be if your server properly identified the episodes. That process is driven by the file names. Does your naming scheme follow the suggested format? jellyfin.org/docs/general/server/media/shows/

Oh yeah, you’re the person who asked to have the season and episode number added to the OSD. I completed that update and am waiting for the PR to be reviewed and merged.

I knew about the audio option not matching if you choose a different video option. In fact, we noted that in our release post: jellyfin.org/posts/roku-200#-tv-episode-version-s…

The others I’ve not heard of before. If it every becomes a nuisance, please open a ticket so we can investigate.

Almost daily to the Jellyfin Roku client.

Come join us if you want to work on some cool crap!

Yeah, we altered our releases so we could get bug fixes out quicker - separate from features.

In fact, 2.0.5 is scheduled for release tomorrow 🤘

I’ll never get tired of Sandstorm! Didn’t hear it enough this past season unfortunately 😕

We got Disco Inferno for our first and didn’t know we’d get a different song the 2nd time.

Everyone was scream singing One Way or Another the whole ride. Amazing!

Any particular reason you feel this way? We’re always looking for feedback to address and prioritize issues.

I’m one of the programmers on the Roku client. I’ve found I get the absolute best user feedback by simply asking people directly.

For me it is that things I am watching suddenly jump ahead large chunks

Just to ensure I’m understanding. You’re watching a video and during playback it jumps forward in time?

1hitsong,
@1hitsong@lemmy.ml avatar

I’ve never heard of such an issue. My mind first goes to is you server hardware beefy enough to serve what you’re watching, but more info would be needed.

I’d suggest posting this to the Troubleshooting forum. There are tons of great peeps over there who can help diagnose all kinds of issues and get them sorted out.

The #1 thing we need are testers. There is such a wide variety of Roku devices, user settings, video formats, etc. that we simply can not test every scenario. This leads to gaps in testing where for the 2-3 of us who tested it for weeks never saw a bug that someone else experienced in the 1st hour after release.

Coding wise, it’s easy to get involved.

  • You can pick a bug ticket and fix it.
  • Or pick an enhancement ticket and make it.
  • Or pick a feature request and make it.
  • Or add something you personally want to the client.

That last one is how I joined. I wanted to play music in the client, but at the time it didn’t support music playback. So I wrote it.

Follow the steps to get your Roku setup and VS Code and required plugins installed and configured: github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-roku/…/DEVGUIDE.md

Then look at the list of open pull requests, clone the feature branch, and test it out: github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-roku/pulls
