can someone please help me with #jellyfin and #freebsd and #nvenc ? I managed to finally get ffmpeg working but i can't seem to find a way to get jellyfin for freebsd to call nv-sglrun in order to run ffmpeg. i have tried all types of ways to do it but it's almost as though it's hard coded into jellyfin to use the ffmpeg bin and only the ffmpeg bin.

https://crazy.macer.life/moving-to-freebsd-jails-bhyve-part-7-jellyfin-in-a-jail-with-hw-transcoding/

got it. really felt like pulling out my hair doing it though. it would be nice if all this stuff was native and didn't need this nv-sglrun tomfoolery.

​​ #Introduction for my (recreated) solo instance
〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️
Hello! I go by Leora online, late-20s, pronouns she/her ​​

❥ I am happily married! ​​

❥ I am a 🐈 #cat mom to 3 and a 🐶 #doggo mom to 1 very crazy #whippet. I will likely be posting a lot of pictures of my #cats Saria, Majora, and Link, along with the occasional Mabel picture.

❥ I am a Linux Server Administrator. ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​

❥ I currently live in Arkansas in the US, but I'm trying my hardest to relocate out of the South for obvious reasons. ​​

❥ My memory is absolutely terrible, can't really recall a majority of my past. ​​

❥ I’m reasonably confident in my programming ability; my projects are often less so. ​​ ​​ ​​

❥ Took a 🇯🇵 #Japanese language course in high school only to forget it all the next year. Currently working on relearning what I've forgotten.

❥ Use to be super involved with 🎭 #theatre. I was in a mime troupe in high school; I learned mime stuff, stilt & ball walking, small bit of 🤸 acrobatic stuff, diabolo stuff. I was active on stage and behind the curtains for several shows throughout high school and college. My social anxiety has mostly put an end to that chapter of my life, though.

❥ In my free time I'm either tinkering with my ​​ #homelab, watching ​​ #jellyfin or youtube, ​​ reading #manga or #webtoons, ​​ playing video games (sometimes on #Twitch), or taking 📸 pictures of my cats.

Feel free to add me, I enjoy meeting new people! ​​

Two cats cuddled together in front of a bright window. On the left is Majora, a black and white short-hair, and the right Link, an orange short-hair. Majora is spooning Linky with his front right paw wrapped around Link's neck (in a loving way, not like a choking kind of way). They are on top of a white, cushy cat bed that is level with the window sill, and there are brown wooden blinds coming down to just about their head height.

A close-up of Saria, a long-hair brown tabby cat, staring upwards with her green eyes. She is very focused.

Mabel, a white and blue(? yeah, I don't get it either) whippet, chilling on top of a purple bed with purple bed sheets and a purple duvet, with Tuna the Blåhaj hanging out on the bed frame behind her. Her ears are flopped forward as she stares inquisitively past the camera.

Alt...

Two cats hanging out together on a white wall mounted cat fixture against a dark purple wall. The fixture has two levels. On the top, flat level is Majora, a black and white short-hair, and on the bottom, cradle shaped level is Link, an orange short-hair. Majora is hanging his front paws off the right side of the fixture, staring towards the camera. Link is staring blankly off towards the left. They are good cats.

Jellyfin-Updates für Server, Web und Desktop

Gets into the holiday spirits with a viewing of #ViolentNight.

#Jellyfin #Movie

So #Jellyfin on Android wasn't working great for casting from the #RaspberryPi to #ChromecastAudio. I tinkered with my Linux laptop and got mkchromecast working with Strawberry to cast perfectly.

I probably could have just used the web interface for Jellyfin on the laptop, but that would have been too easy.

y'know, I appreciate the help and coaching i get from folks online. but I do get tired of the thinly-veiled misogyny.

Know absolutely nothing about #TheMightyNein, beyond it being a animated fantasy show, but figure I'll relax a bit and watch the first episode.

One more thing that really defies my expectations. This is a media LIBRARY. A library is a thing where one organises information to make it findable. So while it is fine to have “recently added” or “recently watched”, and it’s fine to make them prominent, it is not fine to hide the library and the organisation.

These apps offer a zillion ways to organise: recently added, next up, unwatched, related. They don’t show you your library structure. I find it hard to believe there are many people out there like me who have hundreds of films, but DONT organise them. Surely they can’t be the majority. Surely people are not dumping every film into one giant folder and hoping the apps will sort it out.

I know what I want better than they do. Show the fucking hierarchy that I built.
#Jellyfin #movies #selfhosting

Alt...

Photo of the movies menu in the infuse app on AppleTV. It offers the following options. All Movies Recently Added Unwatched By Genre By Rating By Release Date By Age Rating By Resolution Feature Films

A funny side-effect is that #Jellyfin has these automatic “collections”. It can figure out through file names or metadata that 2 films are parts of the same thing. That leads to some funny ones thanks to Monsterdon. I have 4 different Godzilla collections based on the studios. I have a “Blacula” collection because we watched both of them for Monsterdon. 😛

This week I am trying to move my #video library from #Plex running on #TrueNAS to #Jellyfin running on TrueNAS.

First impression is that Swiftfin (the AppleTV app) is not good enough. I have 500-600 films in a hierarchy of dozens of directories. Both Jellyfin and Swiftfin dump all that into a pile called #Movies. So my screen has all 500+ films in alphabetical order.

Things like Monsterdon schlocky films are right next to comedies and drama and action.

I want to see my top level folders like Comedy, Action, Kung-Fu, etc. Then I want to descend into them. I can kinda get this in the web UI, but the TV UI is determined by the app.

Other than that, I’m really enjoying it. I love the collections and the automatic figuring-stuff-out. It’s been good.

I love the lack of shoving stuff in my face. Plex of course wants to shove things into my face.

I’m downloading Infuse for #AppleTV to see if it works better.

Jellyfin on FreeBSD - a new great article by @jhx for the BSD Cafe Journal!

The first #proxmox server's hostname: betelgeuse. Running 7 VMs.
The second #proxmox server's hostname: altair. Running 6 VMs.
And last but not least NAS' hostname: orionis. It handles: VMs backup and store some multimedia files for #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 ]

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

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.

A partial screenshot of my /etc/systemd/system/jellyfin.service.d/jellyfin.service.conf file, showing that I've added a "RootDirectory = /mnt/jellyfinchroot" directive.

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) 😅​

@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.

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.
