#Jellyfin Work

How Does Jellyfin Work?

Jellyfin is an open-source, free media server solution that is cross-platform compatible. It is designed and developed as a self-hosted substitute for other reliable media streaming platforms like Emby and Plex. Using Jellyfin, you can access all your media files, such as tv shows, movies, photos, and music, from a wide range of devices like smart TVs, smartphones, tablets, and web…

siiigh it's yearning time again

[bestworstcase]

i just want to thank you for compiling all the RWBY content out there. it inspired me to finally get the second server i got working and download all 254GB to store there. and under RAID 1 because you can never have too much redundancy. i even set up a jellyfin media server so i could watch it all on the go. seriously, thank you

never too much redundancy!! o7

i’ve had most of it either downloaded or languishing in “i’ll strip the DRM later” procrastination purgatory for a while so Recent Events have largely been a reason for me to consolidate and then upload and as long as i was doing that i figured i Might As Well just download all the behind the scenes stuff and chibi and etc. (<- vile completionist)

anyway. been enjoying watching my transfer quota fill up for the FIRST TIME EVER very exciting. (i’ve got a pro II account for the storage—for musical theater bootlegger reasons if u think 250 GB of rwby is a lot just know i have terabytes of bootlegs also bfkfhdhsbk—which gives me a transfer quota of 120 TB per month, which is an absurd amount. y’all have so far used 37% of it, as opposed to the <1% i normally use every month ❤️🤍🖤💛)

Calling for aid!

I've been translating movies that didn't had captions in Spanish (or they were really crappy) for my family and I've been planning of picking Argentinian movies from our golden age (1940s and 1950s with a few others) to make subtitles in English both for kicks and giggles (our lunfardo will be a challenge) and because I would very much preffer to work as a captionist/subtitler than as an Over the Phone Interpreter as I am working now.

My problem is... that I can't upload them to Youtube for Copyright issues, duh! So I've been trying to find somewhere to do so.

Of course I do not pretend to make money out of the movie because I just did the subtitling (I could allow a way to download the SRT files in case anyone wants them... and yes I do know that there are websites to do so) I just want to share some cool old movies from my country with people that otherwise would never know about them. And share some old gems with other spanish-speakers that might hate the AI translation of some subtitles.

woo, big wins today!

+ set up dns ad blocking finally, things are amazing already

+ migrated from plex to jellyfin

+ fixed multiple issues with nat and firewall setup

+ added a srv record for minecraft: now you can just connect to jtreed.org !

+ set up ddns with cloudflare, or at least i think i did, it’s kinda hard to verify

- did not get work done

- removed herobrine

Terrible news. Apparently Jellyfin’s macOS client can’t use their own, in-house version of ffmpeg. As a result, macOS Jellyfin doesn’t support JPEG XL images. I tried compiling an ffmpeg version with JXL enabled, but it still won’t work. Sigh. If anybody knows a workaround/fix, I’d gladly appreciate it. For now, though, I’m thinking about trying a Linux Virtual Machine solution.

trying to get my server and desktop to not be the same Machine anymore and having the worst time with gitea... my blog is also broken but jellyfin somehow works?

[scrambledsignals]

Dropping in to report that we've been working on a Jellyfin media server. Still ironing out some issues with Last.fm which resulted in my 'scrobbling' of Julian Cope's 'Your Facebook My Laptop' (of all things) for several hours straight one recent weekday afternoon.

pluug seems to be settling in - 8 day uptime w/ no SSH or network issues, tremc working beautifully for managing transmission, sftp hitting 1MB/s (I have to pause all torrents to copy files to my local machine so that's a "one of pluug's drives is SATA 1" bottleneck)...all pretty smooth !

I should really switch to like alpine or something not rolling-release and I wanna figure out a way to manage disk bandwidth so I can autocopy finished torrents to their destination (eg jellyfin server) and not have to pause all to do it

I decided that today I was going to set up torrenting on my NAS machine. I installed qbittorrent, got into the web UI, then lost contact with it somehow. So I reinstalled it and then tried to set up VPN. It did the thing I stopped using it for on Windows, which is completely failing to make any connections when you set up SOCKS proxy, so I backed up and decided I needed to install a VPN client on the machine.

The guide for setting up Wireguard strongly recommended installing a firewall first, and of course that makes sense, so I did that. And completely failed to allow SSH, therefore killing my access to the machine. The XU4 has no video output, it's completely headless, so I don't believe there was any way to fix that other than doing a clean install on the bootable SD card, which is what I did.

I took the opportunity to switch from OpenMediaVault, which doesn't actually seem to be doing anything for me other than the Samba share since they broke Docker integration, to CasaOS, which... also doesn't seem to be doing much for me but the Samba share since all of its apps are Docker containers and Docker really hasn't been working for me, but at least it's a nicer UI.

I had Jellyfin working before, the curl script just did its thing and I was in, but now it's hitting a dependency issue I had to join the Jellyfin forum to ask for help with. Fortunately I haven't fully migrated to Jellyfin and extra fortunately, I was able to set up the Samba share with exactly the same path so my Kodi library is unaffected.

Tailscale didn't want to start when I installed it, but then I noticed that the machine wanted to reboot for a kernel update and when it came back, Tailscale was working, so I think I have everything I was relying on back to the way it was. I was just really close to jumping to Jellyfin...

On TechTubers

"Hey gang, it's ya boi Jimmy3468 back at it again, with Babbage's Difference Engine! Today, we're gonna see how Crysis runs on this!"

Which is more or less how I feel when I see another jabroni order himself a clearly office-oriented machine and then Frankenstein a GPU to it in the hopes of ferreting out yet another "budget" gaming rig.

No. Tell your audience to pocket their ambitions for a few paychecks, until they can comfortably part with five or six hundred dollars. Then, if you're only looking to game on a budget, you'll be able to get decent low-spec 1080p gaming from an SI of some repute or by buying parts piecemeal. Do not buy a computer from Amazon's China-based SIs, their stock rotates far too quickly to be trustworthy.

Also, for the love of shit, give up on gaming-focused miniPCs. You'll have no room to grow and you'll be stuck with the absolute bare minimum of the Casual market, and chances are that if you're dumb enough to go for one of these machines, you're thinking that Cyberpunk 2077 runs well on deprecated Ryzen APUs.

Are miniPCs shit, then, I hear you ask? No, not necessarily. They're a great space-saver for clerical tasks and can work nicely as a living-room media server if need be (see Jellyfin or Plex), and they're a more muscly alternative to SBCs that don't pack that much more space for their offered power - but I really wouldn't go too compact for anything close to gaming or content production.

I know the younger video producers out there are farming clicks, but there's a point where buying an aging HP ThinkCentre for its motherboard and CPU and splurging on everything else is a waste of resources.

it's like. I'm tired. but also not the right kind of tired. but really really tired though. except I won't be able to sleep yet so I have to stay awake. it is stressing me out.

The Mobile App: What’s something you have that just never works properly but you still use it?

Staff: Is there any advice you wish you’d listened to, but never did?

Shitposting: What is something that you do purely for fun?

What’s something you have that just never works properly but you still use it? My body the syncplay feature on my jellyfin server.

Staff: Is there any advice you wish you’d listened to, but never did? Hmmm. There's a very large category of, like, life advice (ranging in complexity from very simple stuff like "get enough sleep" to bigger things like "it's actually really really important to prioritize your self-care and personal growth, even if you don't think you deserve it" that I was very skeptical about and had to learn (or am in the process of learning) the hard way. Does that count?

Shitposting: What is something that you do purely for fun? Without splitting hairs on "purely"; consuming fiction and talking about it!

Media Server Settled up

Day 175 - Apr 28th, 12.024

So today was another "procrastinating with a little number of chores" day, I was hoping to draw today. But after yesterday's blackout, motivation kinda faded away. So, I spend the day setting up a media server with things like Jellyfin, Jellyseerr, and all the rr suite (Sonarr, Radarr and Prowlarr), so me, and mostly my parents, can see films and series that are definitely on public domain, since most streaming services don't have them, and have become too inconvenient for anyone to purchase, even more in my country. It's working great, is actually a lot more convenient having everything in just one big media system that I can then just connect my devices to, even more using Nix to make all this reproducible.

No idea what I did but jellyfin is working now. Had to sign back in on everything but it's good
