    You won't believe this, but I've actually finished configuring my linux

    [–] troglodytis@lemmy.world 30 points 10 months ago

    There are things I believe. This is not one of those things.

    not believing intensifies

    [–] fuzzy_feeling@programming.dev 12 points 10 months ago

    that's the moment you're supposed to change distro.

    [–] Johanno@feddit.de 10 points 10 months ago

    I already finished 10 times. And I probably will be doing 10 times again.

    Except you count a windows vm with gpu-passthrough then I am still on it.

    I run my emby and jellyfin server, my desktop, printer server, plus a bunch of other shit I can’t think of right now.

    If any of that shit doesn’t work, I will be annoyed. So I’m certainly not tinkering with it all the time.

    [–] KneeTitts@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    emby and jellyfin

    you need both of these things? Dont they both do exactly the same thing?

    [–] jaybone@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (2 children)

    Lol the roku client for emby was annoying me, so I installed jellyfin just so I could use the jellyfin roku client. Which turns out to also be buggy and annoying. So now I’m running both and I’m tempted to install plex next.

    [–] 1hitsong@lemmy.ml 6 points 10 months ago (3 children)

    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.

    [–] Peffse@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    I can't say I've ever seen any showstoppers for the jellyfin Roku client, but I will say it seems rather inconsistent when using the media options menu after selecting a movie. Sometimes choosing a different video reverts to the default top choice when you hit play. Sometimes the audio selections don't match up with the chosen video but rather a different video option, meaning any choice is the wrong choice. At one point I even got the client to say that AAC Stereo was both the chosen Video and Audio. It's really hard to describe and never enough a nuisance to wade through the process of opening an issue.

    [–] 1hitsong@lemmy.ml 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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

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

    [–] Peffse@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    Ah, I didn't see that because I haven't generated types for TV Shows yet. Only movies.

    Thank you for the ongoing support!

    [–] YIj54yALOJxEsY20eU@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    Thank you for your service, I've spent many hours on that app.

    [–] 1hitsong@lemmy.ml 2 points 10 months ago
    [–] jaybone@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (2 children)

    My main use case is that I watch a lot of tv shows, often while I am in bed going to sleep.

    So I want the episodes to be labeled correctly in sequence, like season number and episode number. I want those numbers to be displayed correctly when I navigate episodes. When I pause it’ll stop the app, I want the correct season and episode to show up in the “Continue watching” list. And I want auto play to continue playing the next episode after the current episode completes.

    I have found both emby and jellyfin to have issues with the above items.

    Currently I’m running both. I find myself moving back to emby more often as it seems to handle the above cases better.

    [–] 1hitsong@lemmy.ml 2 points 10 months ago

    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.

    [–] 1hitsong@lemmy.ml 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    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? https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/server/media/shows/

    [–] jaybone@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

    Yes.

    For some files it will not automatically play the next episode. Which sometimes also happens in emby.

    I suspect this is due to some kind of issue handling file formats, or badly formatted or corrupt files. In emby I can hit the pause button and then right arrow to >| which will then play the next episode. There is some more convoluted way of doing that in jellyfin. Also in jellyfin I see in the continue watching list like s02e02 and s02e04, of the same show. Obviously I don’t want to continue watching e02 if im already on e04.

    [–] KneeTitts@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

    I’m tempted to install plex next

    The trifecta!

    [–] senkora@lemmy.zip 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    I hope you’re on a long LTS release my friend

    [–] yamapikariya@lemmyfi.com 1 points 10 months ago

    I use arch btw

    [–] lars@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 10 months ago

    Fine

    But is your config standards-compliant and linted?

    Does it degrade gracefully enough that you can load it on 1980s Unices and what is possible to load will load? Without emitting error messages??

    I used to just crastinate but now I’m a pro.

    [–] Ephera@lemmy.ml 3 points 10 months ago

    Yeah, I used to reconfigure things quite a lot while I was still a student. Now with a dayjob, I'm glad if I can just use my laptop to get actual things done. Having previously figured out a really good setup, is very helpful in getting things done, though.

    [–] dutchkimble@lemy.lol 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    Time to get a VPS my friend, and figure out what needs to be hosted at home and on the VPS, and make things sync wherever required, and perfect your VPS with the right distro

    [–] yamapikariya@lemmyfi.com 2 points 10 months ago

    Ubuntu vps ftw
