Apparently, the external player option in jellyfin now supports tracking watching, so now I don't need to worry about where I stopped watching something and have the comfort of vlc and no transcoding.

#jellyfin

Y’all… #Pinchflat is awesome! #Linux Unplugged had mentioned it many times, but it’s so much nicer than I realized. As a bonus, integrating the containerized version with #Jellyfin that comes from #nixpkgs was pretty straightforward: https://github.com/genebean/dots/pull/572
[ #FOSS #NixOS ]

When the world isn't doing ok and the stress kicks in, you know what, work on your media server. 👍

I spent most of my day organizing my media collection on the Jellyfin server. Learned a few customizations but unfortunately that doesn't transfer to the clients. At least the server dashboard looks good! 😊

#jellyfin #movies #tv #media

3* I scanned one of the libraries that I am having issues with and ended up with a #Jellyfin .exe crash dump.

2/ I made some debugging process on this. What won't load up in the web, even after 30 minutes of waiting, will load up after a long time in the #Jellyfin Roku app after around 5 minutes.

When I open an "other library" and open the sub folders, not only does it list what should be there but 10 to 20 unrelated items that are collections. It appears to merging collections, at least some, in with "other" libraries. My Matrix thread, which so far as gone barren and lonely for advice and help.

https://matrix.to/#/!YjAUNWwLVbCthyFrkz:bonifacelabs.ca/$i83pN7dqS4Mb1j7Ygy_eVO1JoS7dDZPhk4duqFvBEBU?via=bonifacelabs.ca&via=im.jellyfin.org&via=matrix.org

#Jellyfin 10.11.* is nearly unusable for me.

I read where mixed and "other" libraries are not preferred or really supported anymore in #Jellfin, but I have several from the old days and they are taking like 3 or 4 minutes to load under version 10.11.2, if they load at all, some don't, even after they load and then are reloaded after the initial upgrade loading.

Can we do anything about this? Scanning does nothing.

Would I be better deleting the the library and recreating as "home videos" or whatever. These aren't movies or series, in most cases.

These are self-made, in-house video and other productions not in the meta data providers proper and mixed library worked great before.

It's making Jellyfin unusable for us. Is there anything I can do absent rolling back?

Entering a new era of #homelab , so sharing my build before I get my server rack built:
Intel Nuc for #Proxmox (#adguard, #alpine VM, game servers)
#dell optiplex-something for my home's #jellyfin using docker
#netgear (dumb) switch because my router doesn't have a lot of Ethernet ports (and for future expansion)
The goal was as budget as possible, this whole setup was less than $100!

@vkc your recent video on ditching streaming is resonating deeply with me! I've been on #jellyfin / #finamp for about 6 months now and have loved every second of it.

At first, I was a bit annoyed by the exact mental difficulty I was presented with when looking at my library and having to actually chose what I wanted to listen to, but I've since learned that this is actually a good thing! Im no longer cognitive offloading (real term I recently learned) my choice in media to an algo! Woohoo!

My plans for the week:

▪️​ install #DietPi on my old #RaspberryPi3 (https://dietpi.com)
▪️​ flash the #YunoHost pre-installed disk image to a new MicroSD card and attempt to set it up on on my #RaspberryPi5
▪️​ if I'm successful, I'll set up #Jellyfin on it
▪️​ create a little storage system for my microSD cards so I can swap them in and out (I won't wipe the one that has #Ubuntu on it, but set it aside so I can use it in the future)

I have a hunch I will ask 🎅​ for a new Raspi this coming Christmas... maybe the #RaspberryPi500 😅​

#MySoCalledSudoLife

Dear Fedi friends,

If you can set aside 11 minutes today, I highly encourage to watch @vkc's latest video: "I stream nothing, and I am happy."

🔗​: https://tinkerbetter.tube/w/ns3WDZZgAoe1SfrDCAUrni

It is ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT and should be shown in media literacy and digital literacy classes everywhere. Actually, everyone should watch it (I'm about to send it to my family and friends).

My favorite part comes up towards the end. Veronica eloquently explains (9 min 27 sec in):

"I feel like we owe it to ourselves and to those who follow us to try and break free of algorithms, which tell us what we should like, who we should believe, and how we should feel about it.

It may sound melodramatic and maybe it is, but I see the increased dependence on algorithmically-driven entertainment as a symptom of that larger problem: uber-convenience that separates us from our critical thinking.

We're learning to abandon reason for small decisions, and wouldn't you know it, now it's easier to ignore reasons for the larger ones.

I'm not here to tell you what to think. I was raised in a "mind-your-own-damn-business" household and that's where my head is at. But I do want to implore all of us to think critically about how streaming media, autoplay, and the algorithm are impacting us."

I'm super proud to be a backer of her Patreon and I cannot thank her enough for this incredible video... which comes at the perfect time, as I was already planning to set up #Jellyfin next week.

RE: https://mastodon.online/@jellyfin/115443806279582304

Reminder for those of you who might still be on a release prior to 10.11 because you were waiting for a point release, #Jellyfin 10.11 is a major release that reworks your database and migrates it to a different format and everything. Read the 10.11 blog post and make certain you have a backup of everything before you begin the upgrade to 10.11.

#Jellyfin has released 10.11.1 with some bug fixes. If you're using the #Debian repo like I am, it should be available to install.

Link: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/releases/tag/v10.11.1

#SelfHosting

Alt...

A screenshot of the terminal window on my server showing that new versions of the following packages are available to install: - jellyfin-server - jellyfin-web - jellyfin

I need some #Linux touchers and #HomeLab gurus to explain in excruciating detail what I'm doing wrong.

I want my #JellyFin server to be served over HTTPS.

I had nginxproxymanager running, but it has stopped working with Let's Encrypt.

What's the *simplest* way to add HTTPS to #JellyFin? It's an Ubuntu box with the default Jellyfin installed (no Docker or anything complicated like that).

Informed speculation welcomed!

Hey fediverse! Is there any FOSS alternative to jellyfin that is not so annoying? That simply shows the file and doesn't require me to rename everything for no good reason?

#jellyfin #MediaServer #FOSS

Brainstorming the easiest and most hands-off way to avoid manually editing my systemd service files to keep services inside their chroot jail even after updating a package, and at least with the Debian package version of #Jellyfin, there's a config file at /etc/systemd/system/jellyfin.service.d/jellyfin.service.conf that allows you to override the systemd service's default settings. So I just added my custom RootDirectory directive here.

Spends a little time updating his #Jellyfin container to 10.11.0. 📺

The devs have also reitereated their recommendation that #Jellyfin be hosted behind a reverse proxy and that they'll be deprecating built-in TLS support. They say they'll still provide manual configuration support for the built-in Kestrel TLS system, but configuration options will be removed from the GUI and they really recommend letting your reverse proxy software (Apache, nginx, caddy, etc.) handle TLS. I had tinkered with this before, but ran into issues

#Jellyfin 10.11.0 has been released and is a fairly major update that will make a backup of your existing installation and then spend quite some time performing migrations in the background that may take up to several hours depending on how much media you have. You can read the release notes for this version here:

#SelfHosting

Looks like there is work to "federate" #jellyfin. ...Multiple Jellyfin servers sharing content.

One project says, "This Jellyfin plugin allows multiple Jellyfin servers to federate, sharing media libraries in real-time without syncing or copying files. Media can be streamed from one server to another with live transcoding if necessary."

#selfhosting
https://forum.jellyfin.org/t-federation-system

My digital independence roadmap for the year ahead:

Phase 1: liberate my music and movie libraries with #Jellyfin (I just installed it YAY)

Phase 2: liberate my audiobook collection with #AudioBookshelf

Phase 3: liberate my photo and video libraries with #Immich / stop paying for iCloud

Phase 4: jailbreak my Kindle and liberate my eBook collection

Looks like I will be busy through the end of 2026 😅​

Once you start #selfhosting, there is no way back 💪​

#digitalsovereignty #BTfree

#AskFedi do you have recommendations for an external hard drive that would be good to stock #Jellyfin media on?

Something fast and not too expensive? (say, less than 200 Euros). 1 Terabyte of storage is more than enough (my current library is about 250 GB)...

I cannot use any of my current drives because they are all encrypted and #Jellyfin needs something with read access (sans password) for every folder in the path. So I'm going for a dedicated external drive.

I would really appreciate your advice! (and heads-up: I'm leaving home soon to pick up my little one from pre-school so I may take a while to reply) 😅​

#selfhosting

Yesterday I was singing the praises of #Jellyfin with someone in my life and they went: "Sounds great. It's a pity it cannot be connected to Google Drive or iCloud".

Fedi friends, this sentence sent actual shivers down my spine. I have no poker face and I may have even blurted out "ew why?" Then I said: "you know that the cloud is basically someone else's computer, right?"

So yes, I'm a certified Fediverse person now (in case there were any doubts).

And I just installed Jellyfin YAY 🥳

@etherdiver You can take this a step further as well by setting up #jellyfin and creating your own music streaming platform with the purchases you made on #bandcamp

In the long run you also save money because you own your purchases and aren't locked into the #spotify model of renting forever. It's far better for artists too.

settles in to watch #Murderbot. Don't really have high hopes for it, but it's worth trying out.

#TV #Jellyfin

Fourth, I want to enable hardware acceleration on the EliteDesk for a VM running Jellyfin (in Docker) using the i7-9700’s UHD 630 iGPU. The Proxmox docs are vague on Intel GPUs, so I need a clear guide specific to this CPU. The networking issue is the most frustrating - has anyone seen a bridge drop connectivity when a VM stops? Any suggestions for troubleshooting or fixing this? I’d really appreciate pointers to resolve these problems.

#jellify is he hands down the best mobile #jellyfin music app.

This event prompted me to delete my #Plex account, as I've very happily moved to #Jellyfin a year or so ago.

https://mastodon.social/@jgobble/115170981125162157

Now I just need suggestions for a music server software. I've clocked #navidrome which actually looks sweet. Any others I could consider? I know that's is possible for #jellyfin to also serve music and can connect to music apps. Anyone do this?

Finally set up my own #nextcloud instance. Now my little optiplex server hosts nextcloud, #jellyfin and #immich. With 32tb of Raid1 storage I think I'll be set for a while.

@joel @mischa Maybe you can give a try to #Plex Media Server or #Jellyfin

Sinon je découvre avec 15 ans de retard #Plex, et c'est vraiment simple et efficace pour diffuser du contenu FullHD depuis un ordi sur ma TV (Samsung 😢). 5 clics, pif paf pouf, ça stream direct, pas de décalage audio/vidéo, pas de buffering lors du visionnage 👌

En bon libriste, j'avais regardé du côté de #Jellyfin aussi, mais oh boy les manips à faire pour le faire tourner sur la TV 😨 https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-tizen

I recently discovered a project called #Jellywatch. It's an Android app that lets you manage your #Jellyfin server(s). It's not open source so I'm hesitant to use it and give it access to my server, but its user interface looks a bit more polished than the default Jellyfin app and they've got extra paid features and support.

I don't know a ton about it, but it's pretty cool to see decent quality alternatives. They're even on Mastodon over at @jellywatch .

#HomeLab

Watched the first episode of Alien: Earth. Solid start, and thumbs up for using a Dio-era Black Sabbath song.

#TV #Jellyfin

If you host #Jellyfin on #Debian, they have updated their repositories to contain the native builds for Trixie. You can enable the repo in Debian with:

extrepo enable jellyfin

Or, if you already have the Jellyfin repo added, just make sure it's pointing to "Trixie" and not "Bookworm" and it should auto update your packages.
