I've mucked up something with #Jellyfin Television library:

- Recently Added shows only three series, only one of them new.
- MyMedia/Television with no filters shows only one, a different series
- Suggestions shows the R-A 3 plus one more yet still different
- Genres shows a lot, perhaps all?
- Episodes will show 1400 files.

Any ideas on a likely cause/fix?

Continued thread

The Deck itself has been incredible. I didn't come to Factorio from PC but was still curious how the controls would work. "Really well" was the answer. Guess it shouldn't surprise given the game was ported to Switch, but they're great. With emulation I've got a couple lifetime's of nostalgia packed on it. Gaming aside, it replaced my laptop as the thing I reach for when using the WebUIs of self hosted stuff. It's an awesome remote control for #Jellyfin which I sideloaded onto an older TV.

My mental inertia is large, but in the past month I finally got around to setting up a #Jellyfin server. I'd already ripped a bunch of my DVDs and a few BluRay discs (as well as many, many CDs) and had them stored on a home server, so this was just a matter of dropping a Docker image on the server and pointing it at the relevant directories. Then I installed the client on the Roku box connected to the TV, and put in the account and password info I'd set up.

Took all of 20 minutes.

@textovervideo Still Plex for me right now.

I would like to move over to Jellyfin and have tried a couple of times.

One of the biggest features that's missing for me is the "who's watching" screen. The fact that Plex & pretty much every big streaming platform has this is a bit of a letdown. I don't want every library to be visible as standard based on the login.

The other issue for me is one of my TVs (Hisense) doesn't have a Jellyfin app still.

Go #Google! #YouTube removes video about self-hosting media (#LibreELEC, #Jellyfin)

For anyone contemplating relying on Google-hosted language models (#LLMs accessible via Google’s API), this is a sneak peek into a bright new future of corporate censorship (the very companies currently involved in massive intellectual property theft):

A video demonstrating LibreELEC on Raspberry Pi 5 was removed for allegedly promoting unauthorized content access, despite only showing how to self-host a media library.

Plex works fine for me. Being a lifetime pass holder, I haven't had the need to concoct creative reasons to be outraged about it.

On the rare occasion I decide to actually fiddle with Jellyfin, it causes playback errors for anything currently being played in Plex. Half of my content doesn't even play in the Android TV client. And half of my family doesn't even have hardware that supports Jellyfin.

Maybe I would just decommission Jellyfin.

As we get to the end of the DVD collection, we have some more unusual stuff. YEP, this is My Neighbor Totoro subtitled in #Esperanto. The UEA bookshop at onepoint sold this. My reading speed in Esperanto was never good enough to keep up with film subtitles, though.

Been meditating on practicing again, however. SO it's being ripped to the #Jellyfin server.
