This holds true for youtu.be links, but not youtube.com/watch?v=
Discord file url parameters are to prevent using discord as a free cdn. I believe discord plans on actually enforcing expiration later this year or early next year, at which point those extra url parameters will actually be necessary (and the links will no longer work indefinitely)
By the way for anyone who doesn't know, the ? only appears once in the url. Successive question marks are instead denoted by &

WGA Lays Out Costs Per Studio of Their $343 Million Increase to Contract (16 May 2023)
In a new chart, which can be viewed below, the WGA estimated how that $343 million breaks down on a studio-by-studio basis. It estimates that the proposed contract would cost Disney an additional $75 million, or less than 0.1% of its $82 billion annual revenue. It also estimates that Netflix would pay up an additional $68 million, or 0.2% of its $31.6 billion annual revenue.
I was curious about this too since I don't use large playlists, so I added all 3800 songs in my library to a playlist to see how Jellyfin handles that. Regarding the desktop apps, you can definitely feel the UI get sluggish. Playback seems fine though.
Jellyfin Media Player struggles to handle that many items on one page at a time and playlists don't support pagination, so opening this playlist takes five or so seconds (sometimes more). When adding a song to queue from a playlist, it queues the whole playlist and moves you to the song in the queue you wanted to play. If you shuffle, the song you pick will be the first in queue as expected. While the UI feels less responsive at first, jumping around the queue or song feels normal. Playback feels responsive to me. I did have trouble shuffling the playlist from the playlist tile without opening the playlist's page first. Not sure what that was about.
Feishin is similar in loading times, but the UI is more responsive with large lists. When jumping around a playlist, clicking another song in the queue still loads immediately, but clicking another song from the playlist page seems to create a new queue (even when not shuffling) and takes several seconds to load. I didn't think to test this on Jellyfin Media Player before I deleted the playlist, so this might be the case there too. This extra loading time when changing songs from the playlist's page is inconsistent though and seems to work as expected if you're jumping around a lot (might be a caching thing?).
Basically it takes a few seconds to load the playlist's page and another several seconds to load the initial queue, but otherwise playback seems to work well for me. Again, this is with 3800 songs; your mileage may vary, etc.
Regarding mobile: Symfonium does not (as far as I can tell) automatically pick up Jellyfin's playlists, so I have to manually import them from the app. This is just a click or two and you can import all your playlists at once. If you want to listen to music on both desktop and your phone and you make changes to the playlist, you'll have to push Symfonium's local version of the playlist to Jellyfin or replace Symfonium's local version with the remote version from Jellyfin. They don't automatically update between each other. Changes to the playlist cover do not seem to sync with those changes, so you'll have to click an extra couple buttons to update that too.
Symfonium's UI is the most responsive and loading the initial queue is immediate, but you still have to load the media from Jellyfin so it doesn't play instantly. If you have the music cached locally through Symfonium, it probably loads quicker.
Overall, you'll feel when a playlist has 3800 songs in it if you use the web player or Feishin, but Symfonium plays things handily. Syncing playlists is a little more involved with Symfonium, but overall it seems that (very) large playlists are usable with Jellyfin even if they make the UI sluggish at times and take a few seconds to queue up. Hope this helps!
Harlivy. If my comfort gays gotta bust heads and crush legs, then by god they're busting heads and crushing legs. All of Gotham is experiencing an apocalypse because two insane girlypops slayed too hard? Sucks to be an innocent bystander I guess. Shouldn't have been in the way.
+1 for Symfonium (I use Jellyfin as my backend instead of Navidrome). It's really customizable, actively developed, and well worth the few bucks that it costs.
Even if that was somehow possible, it would be infeasible to implement and wouldn't solve any problems. The best solution would have been to implement mod features natively first, and then implement EAC. That's the consensus of me, my friends, and the people I saw talking about it on twitter. Most people who supported the move without nuance were streamers who didn't understand that most mods were not malicious and were just happy they wouldn't get crashed or ripped in public lobbies anymore (which the update didn't actually stop).
About two weeks ago I thought about this in regards to google podcasts.
"Well this one will probably stick around long enough that I'll have moved on by the time google shuts it down. They don't even host the episodes anyway. They source the metadata and audio files from elsewhere. All they really host is my listening history, queue, and subscriptions. Certainly this is less likely to get the axe anytime soon."
*two weeks later*
It really does suck though. I genuinely like the google podcasts app/website. Best one I've found so far that works how I like my apps/services to work.
I don't think this lends enough credit to how centralized the music industry is and the role that plays. If you want the world's music catalogue, you need contracts with like three companies. That level of centralization makes it straightforward to get a music catalogue going with basically everything someone might want to listen to, but it also severely hampers your ability to do anything those three companies don't want. If anyone's wondering why Spotify is pushing podcasts so hard, it's because that's the only way for them to get out from under the thumb of the few music megacorps that they have to license from to stay relevant. Spotify needs a revenue stream less dependent on the big three and it sees podcasts as its way out.
I'm sure music files being smaller and easier to pirate helped light a fire under the ass of the music industry to modernize, but that isn't the only factor at play here and I don't even think it's one of the main ones. If I recall correctly, Spotify is the company who went to the music labels asking for a contract. In order to show that the tech works, they had to pirate the initial catalogue until they had deals with music labels to license the music. Spotify brought their streaming vision to the music industry, not the other way around.
I believe Netflix had a good catalogue at first because every other company was sleeping on the streaming boom that Netflix was ahead of the curve on. Netflix could get good streaming license deals because nobody really cared about this little company they'd never heard of. As soon as everyone realized what was up, they scrambled to copy Netflix and pulled their libraries to fracture the streaming space.
From the start, the music industry knew what Spotify was and could be and knew how to use their leverage to keep themselves on top (Spotify isn't functionally allowed to be their own license for music creators, for example). I don't think the movie streaming space realized what Netflix was until it blew up.
I don't think the problem is that movie/tv hasn't "figured it out." The music space would be just as fractured if it wasn't as centrally organized. I think the problem is that the industries are just structured really differently, so they played out really differently.
To be clear, I'm not defending the music or movie/tv industry. I just think the situations are more nuanced than "music freaked out and got their shit together and movie/tv hasn't yet."
