>>107233270Dune is slow and an ugly fork. Wholphin is made from scratch and has mpv
>>107233033Why should I care about this when my jellyfin on my amazon fire stick works fine?
>>107233531nobody cares what your setup is or what you think?
>>107233556

>>107233270Fuck Dune
10.11.x is still a failure at this point, everything transcodes now and Dolby Vision media doesn't even run anymore. They should have made this a major release and put it back to preview.
when im watching videos they'll often stop 'early'. bit of googling seems to imply its an issue with the file not the app, but most of my files come from the same place.any ideas what might be wrong with the files that might cause this
>>107238669>everything transcodes nowI have transcoding turned off since 10.8.x and I use 10.11.3 right now and everything works fine.
>>107238815What kind of shit files do you have?
>>107238848all sorts, bluray rips, youtube downloads of music videos, some torrented series, some of my own filmed things - mp4 mainly.what confuses me is there's no single factor. if it was just shitty youtube rips - sure. but ...
>>107238669Works on my machine.Just upgraded and I had no issues yet.>>107238815These kind of issues are hard to diagnose. Your best bet is to either source another file or try another player. Some players tolerate bad files better. There's also a possibility of yoru hard drive being in the process of failing. Test both ram and drive health.
>>107239470Never happens to me. What server version and client are you using?
>>107233033Can I upgrade directly to this from 10.10.x?>>107238669>everything transcodes now and Dolby Vision media doesn't even run anymoreIs this really an issue? DV and transcoding if I'm on the go are like two of my most important use cases.
>>107239871Read the update directions on the site, dumbfuck
>>107239885I did for 10.11.0. Does that mean I have to update to that first and then to 10.11.3 or can I skip to 10.11.3 directly?
>>107239496>These kind of issues are hard to diagnose. i hear that>Your best bet is to either source another file or try another player.they work ok in VLC and if i use DLNA so thats my fall back for laptop/tv > There's also a possibility of yoru hard drive being in the process of failing. Test both ram and drive health.bloody hope not, new WD reds - they're testing ok on smart.>>107239520>Never happens to me. What server version and client are you using?im running it via docker on a Ugreen nas - im not sure what version but its the 'latest'. Clients - either a browser on laptop, jellyfin android client from fdroid, and on my samsung tv i sideloaded the jellyfin app. it does this on all three - so its probably (?)not the client
>>107240386What players and clients are causing issues ?
>>107239902read the directions
>>107243632Will do anon thank you
>>107238669works on my apple tv box
zesty theme broke, whats another good theme?
>>107233033>install jellyfin and plex alongside eachother>jellyfin constantly breaking with weird fucking issues, poor matching, a transcoding bug that constantly tries to up the bitrate to 96mbs even on files that aren’t that large, and an abysmal dogshit programmer UI>plex needs an auto db repair and update script that runs at 3am but otherwise just werks Why do people shill jellyfin so hard when it’s obviously still beta software? There’s so much more work that needs to be done
>>107244149>Install Docker Image>Everything works perfectly>Major Update>Download new Docker Image>Everything still works perfectlySkill issue
>>107233033Where are the clients for LG WebOS? Wholphin is not present.
>gay as fuck Hisense TV doesn't have Jellyfin as an appFuck. Is it worth getting a Firestick or something?
>>107244459What's what I use, it's just convenient to make access device agnostic
>>107244149Works on my machineMeanwhile on the Plex webos app:> can't have DTS and HDR at the same time, video glitches up> enabling subtitles while transcoding audio also forces video transcoding> no way to have the app default to my friend's shared library instead of the streamslop front page
>>107244149>poor matching, a transcoding bug that constantly tries to up the bitrate to 96mbs even on files that aren’t that large, and an abysmal dogshit programmer UIall of my stuff matches, I don't transcode because im not gay, and my UI is fine on my client.
>>107244303>Where are the clients for LG WebOS?stop using that gimped OS
>>107238669skill issue
>>107244459Don't buy Fire sticks. Ever.
>>107237584yes?
>>107233033is the project so mismanaged that developers find it easier to to make their own clients rather than get involved in the main project?
>>107233033>General>shill it for free
I experienced a strange bug last night on the Jellyfin roku app. Basically what happened is the audio was delayed by about 3 seconds or so. It wasnt an issue with the video file itself because i tried it on the standard web client and it worked fine. The bug on the roku seems to have gone away now.
Works in docker without issues
How do I get rid of suggestions in Next Up? There are two shows it is recommending for some reason that i dont want to see there.
>>107248570pls respond
I'm using it because CloudFlare went down and I couldn't get onto Plex on my TV. The problem with it is that the seek times are really poor. Seek and start video times on Plex are MUCH (!!!!!) faster. Almost instantaneous. On Plex there's always a little buffer.There are things about it which are better, like obviously the TV access via LAN, and the thumbnails display in a much nicer way (landscape rather than portrait).
>>107244149When did you do this? I tried them both about a year ago and while Plex was visually more polished (kometa blus just better stock ui), basic functionality like dv and uncompressed audio would break direct streaming AND they spied on you. Meanwhile jellyfin isn't nearly as good looking but just werks on my machine, so I picked it.
>>107250175On Jellyfin there's always slight buffering*If they could fix the load times on the UI on apps etc, and load and seek times of videos, it would be better.
>>107233033Why don't people just use KODI and connect their server via SMB
>>107233033When the fuck are they going to implement TVDB metadata. I want to get my Tom and Jerry episodes listed properly.
>>107252599Because Jellyfin is more fun. But SMB is fine too.
>>107253361Just use the tvdb plugin
>>107253418How do you set this up if you run Jellyfin in docker on Alpine Linux? No clue where to put the plugin file. :(
>>107253470Login as admin and configure the plugins.
>>107248570>How do I get rid of suggestions in Next Up? It's recommending Anal Probe Warriors 4 that my girlfriend doesnt want to see there.ftfy
>>107252599There's no Kodi in LG appstore.
Tried Jellyfin and Plex to play flac files on my speakers via oldish LG smartv.Jellyfin always had problem playing the file, didn't even play them. Plex just works. I wanted to use the open source alternative, but when it doesn't work...
>>107253549I don't watch that degenerate trash. Quit projecting. Also, it seems it's not possible to remove stuff from Next Up. Not good.
>>107252599haven't looked to see if kodi is in roku tv app store but i can just download JF on it and it runs normally
>>107253361>Tom & JerryLol based.
>>107253560Stop using gay LG webos
How do I properly hide some medias from non-admin users without creating new libraries?
>>107253494I am fucking retarded. Thanks, anon. I didn't realize they had a catalog of plugins you can just enable. Working amazing now.
Has anyone bothered to set up Tunarr or ErsatzTV? Which one did you prefer? Sometimes I just want to be forced to watch whatever is on like normal TV but I have no TV reception in my area.
>>107233033should i use this if i remove torrents after watching them? i'm not a retarded slophoarder
>>107254303no
>>107254303If you watch content on your PC, or already have an EZPZ way to navigate content on your TV then don't bother with Jellyfin.
>>107254363i download episodes from nyaa and use vlc on my docked steam deck
>firefox finally supports hevc and mkv directly>still needs a transcode for more than stereo
>>107252599Because having a synced library on Kodi was a fucking headache and Jellyfin just works.
this thing kinda sucks for putting all its metadata garbage in the same files the media ismade it annoying to migrate back to plex
>>107255744>putting all its metadata garbage in the same files the media iswot
>>107255766There's a checkbox, it stores images etc and other garbage beside media files. It's a bit angering. I think it might be a simple checkbox though.
>>107254146I never heard of it before but it's really interesting and cool. I might just make a Judge Judy channel since I have so many fkin episodes.
Have they fixed the fucking database yet or are they still letting the retard run around implementing DB locking in the app layer?
>>107256165From checking the reddit thread, no, DB performance is still hosed
>>107256165What's wrong with the DB? Works for me.
>>107255486blame firefox
Are there any good forks of Jellyfin?
>>107260264It's called Emby
>>107260289>hardware acceleration is locked behind a paid account kek
>>107260264>Are there any good forks of Jellyfin?lol no jellyfin is a fork
>>107233499>Wholphin is made from scratch and has mpvREADME says: >Wholphin uses the same media player (media3/ExoPlayer) as the official client.
>>107260694Oh nvm. It's an experimental option in the newest release.
>Have a habit of not creating a directory for the first season of a show if it's just one season>Solo Leveling gets kinda screwed as a result>Create the first season directory and refresh all metadata for the show>All I get is a Season 1 folder in the interface which has the same issue of episodes having the same pic, and not being listed like normally, hours after the refresh>Wake up today>All goodJellyfin seems to work in mysterious ways.
>>107260694>>107260751Wholphin is the best client for Android TV right now. People were hoping for Findroid to get mpv support in stable but that dev is taking forever to roll out a new release.
Is 20+ years of The Simpsons worth getting anons?
>>107253850why anon?
>>107261091>Is 20+ years of The Simpsons worth getting anons?no
>>107261091you can just watch that on streaming sites
Bump. Installed jellyfin a month ago, babby's first media server.I got it before the recent update fucked rhe database. I upgraded and tried to refresh my library but I was still getting about 60% CPU usage or so, getting my temps over 73C. I had to completely remove it and install 10.11.2 from scratch and now it finally works.This thing is neat. Just need to setup some Arr automation and I'm golden. Using jellyfin for Tizen on my Samsung PC. Lets keep this general alive, eh?
>>107261484Can you recommend link?
Trash app, hijacks your background photos and incorrectly applies artwork that can't be removed Navidrome 100x better
>>107255744>in the same files the media is>>107256058>beside media filesOh, so you're too retarded to even state a problem accurately
>>107261968fmhy.net
>>107261984>Navidrome 100x betterIt's stupid to use Jellyfin for music anyway
having a good servarr setup is really nice but I feel like jellyfin is the weakest link (ik it's not a arr)still awesome I can have a good gui to watch my library on the go.hopefully we will get better customization or themes
>>107233033did they improve the tag system?
>>107256165They will never fix it in the foreseeable future.The vibe coder crashed out and stopped working on his mess.He changed so much code that no one can easily take on, without enormous effort.The only proper fix is to revert JPVenson's changes, but everyone is too afraid to do it, to not hurt his feelings.Make my words, we will see more open source projects fall into the same trap.
>>107262607What would you even tag?
>>107262771you can tag kids movies and let those user only see movies with the tag.so you dont have to have those movies in a different folder.also you can't trust the tvdb/whatever ratings
>>107262771tag horror movies as horror, tag sad movies as sad, tag kino as kino, you know.... a functioning tag system.Last time I tried you couldn't edit tags properly, it only imported those from your datasource.
>>107247767What do you suggest then? I want a cheap and simple Jellyfin experience on my dumb TV
>>107263806https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/clients/kodi/ perchanceIt's not just "point Kodi to an SMB share"
>>107264012I have a dumb TV so Kodi is useless. I've tried to use my Pi 3, but it couldn't even handle 1080p video streams. I'm probably gonna go for a Roku streaming stick and firewall it from the internet
How do I set up anime without having to change my file/folder structure to the gay western tv naming scheme?Also any coreelec users here? My amb6+ runs everything perfectly except DVDs (video_ts) for some reason. I can play them in Jellyfin's web player and mpv but I just get an error in coreelec.
>>107262696Yeah I'm getting a similar feeling. I nuked my install and rebuilt on 10.10.7 (my fault for not taking a full manual backup and waiting too long to roll back to restore from my automated backup system)I'll ride this out for awhile
>>107261984Does Navidrome have a good android app yet? Last time I looked at it that was "coming soon". Finamp for jellyfin is pretty good so want at least something comparable before I switch
>>107266075I never updooted from 10.10.7, pretty glad I didn’t at this point.
Still can't even update because the migrations are fucked.>>107262696>The only proper fix is to revert JPVenson's changes, but everyone is too afraid to do it, to not hurt his feelings.Could always start a new project by hard forking from 10.10.>Make my words, we will see more open source projects fall into the same trap.For a few hundred dollars in API credits, Plex's main competitor just made them look a lot more appealing in comparison.I could see this sort of thing becoming intentional sabatoage in the future.
>>107262696It's not even as simple as just reverting his changes - anyone who upgraded now has their DB in a state that can't be rolled back. They're pretty fucked
>>107266159I'm still on 10.10.1
>>107266760They could write migrations that revert his migrations. They won't, but they could.
>>107266760The upgrade backs up your db. You can definitely roll back, you just won't have any changes you've made since the upgrade.
>>107266821Only if you have a backup of everything else surrounding the DB. I tried rolling back and using the backup, it failed miserably. The backup DB is just there to retry the migration
>>107263806Try the Onn 4K Plus. Only $30 and works great.
>>107266086Any subsonic client will do. https://www.navidrome.org/docs/overview/#apps
What are you guys even talking about? I have ~2000 movies and ~300 shows on my Jellyfin 10.11.3 and it works fine.
>>107267189go check your log and view all the DB locksdo a full library scan and notice how it takes significantly longer than 10.10.7for the most part the DB rewrite hasn't broken jellyfin completely, it just slowed it way downin edge cases it breaks things
>>107238669only issue I am having is DV isn't working for me. >>107263806shield
>>107267134this is *almost* as good as a shield, and at this point it runs betteronly thing lacking is a handful of audio formats
>>107267134this looks nice but is geoblocked for us yuropoors
>>107267134Its Chinese?
>>107262023it's two different people (but theyre still clearly describing the same issue)but that's ok, keep denying your open sores has a problem, and everyone else will just keep not using it :)
>>107267220You sit there and wait for your library to be rescanned? Who does that? It just works in the background. I've been using Jellyfin for 3 years now and I'm using 10.11.3 and I have no issues whatsoever. If there's any slowdowns, they will eventually be fixed. You guys are freaking out over nothing or maybe you updated the wrong way because you are anti-updates.
>>107267299No
>107267612>You guys are freaking out over nothing or maybe you updated the wrong way because you are anti-updates.when you use meta ai to write your bait kek
>>107268498>can't link>calls others AI userskek
I've been putting off setting up jellyfin in untill now so I'm completely new to it. I've recently restructured my home network for better security and created a DMZ for outside facing services. How do you guys handle file access of services like jellyfin to your Fileserver? I don't want to fragment my NAS storage even further
>>107268774I just configured a NFS on TrueNAS and mounted it on the server Jellyfin is on.
>>107268789downside of having NFS is jellyfin doesn't updated new files automatically on network shares. So you have to make it so it checks every 10mins for new files
>>107233033Jellyfin does not respect NFO.>/r/jellyfin/comments/1p0obbs/issue_with_creating_own_ordering_for_a_series/npkb6a3/?context=3#npkb6a3A post from a member of the Jellyfin core team yesterday.>...IIRC information in NFO should trump all other metadata sources. So even if the metadata scraper reports one thing, but an NFO exists, the NFO will be used as the source of data.>Take this with a grain of salt, it's been a long time since I've looked at it any closer>**Edit:** Looks like I was right - https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/server/metadata/nfoWith all due respect, no, this is not accurate! The Jellyfin documentation on NFO has been wrong for years now!>/r/jellyfin/comments/11kigli/jellyfin_ignores_imdb_ids_in_nfo_files/Different thread from March 2023 describing the same issue.https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/issues/13197An official issue opened December 2024. Still open.https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/issues/13655Another open NFO issue from March.https://github.com/tubearchivist/tubearchivist-jf-plugin/issues/30https://github.com/tubearchivist/tubearchivist-jf-plugin/issues/43The bug is causing problems for other plugins.
>>107268846True. I suppose that might be a problem if you use *arr stuff to download stuff automatically. I have no interest in recent media and rarely add to my collection so it doesn't bother me.
>>107268866>With all due respect, no, this is not accurate!Why are you telling us? Tell the dev.
>>107268846I can't even get auto-updating new files to work reliably on the exact same filesystem.
>>107268889I don't have a R*ddit or Github account
>>107268900I never had an issue with that.
>>107268921yet you have a 4chan account. curious.
>>107268921make an account, dummy
>>107260339that's why it was forked... to jellyfin
>>107261091no but the first 8 or so seasons are worth getting
>>107267612not him but sometimes there might be a bad episode file or missing file, or just a new movie we want to watch now, and so waiting for it to filter through everything is something we have to do sometimes, so performance is relevant
>>107271147Whenever I add a new movie, it takes like 30 seconds to show up. It's there before I even turn my TV on. You guys are either complaining over nothing or your files are a mess. I followed the instructions and Jellyfin has never given me an issue.
>>107271334the tv is always on, it's an android tv. by the time we get to notice something isn't there, it's already onit's never been long enough for me to complain about it, though at the same time my setup is so hands-off that i couldn't say what version it's running. that's really what you want, isn't it? a setup where you simply turn the tv on and watch something. 95% of the time it's like that, and that's amazing. media piracy has come a long way
>>107267189post admin dashboard screenshot or you are a lying nigger
What is the next major feature for 10.12?
What should I download onto my server? All anime, movies, TV shows suggestions are welcome.
>>107267220Tech illiterate here, I thought the whole point of the db rewrite was to make it faster and less breakable?>>107267259That's a huge issue imo. It's the reason i didn't go with plex back when I tried both.
>>107273196>I thought the whole point of the db rewrite was to make it faster and less breakable?Ideally and if done competently, yeah. Hanz Vibecoder's point was just to pad his resume and move on.
>>107250175If you're using Android tv you could try a third party player perhaps, like justplayer, or wholpin for a whole alternate client (haven't tried it yet).>>107253549lol>>107252599I use jellyfin as the backend for kodi/coreelec
>>107273018Here's all the anime I currently have, good luck: >https://bpa.st/LB3A
>>107273284>I use jellyfin as the backend for kodi/coreelec
>>107273284>I use jellyfin as the backend for kodi/coreelecdoesn't everyone?
>>107273777no. i use wholphin
>>107274624having tried out wholphin due to the endless shilling here - Kodi is miles ahead
>>107274650>Kodi is miles aheadSure, in terms of features since Wholphin is only less than 2 months old but it's pretty great for a new Jellyfin client.
>>107274665ok, let me know when it catches up
when will wholphin get shield Ai upscaling?
Setting up pic related in jellyfin makes me want to pull my hair out. Even shoko can't get it right.
>>107276298jellyfin was the easist shit to set up. no idea why you retards cant do it.
im so fucking tired of AI bullshit on youtube when i play musicim trying to do my own local hosted music. but i cant figure it out. i got jellyfin and symfonium. but i havent figured out how to get it to work when not on the same network. also wouldn't this cause a massive spike in data usage? i am doing mp3's since the filesizes are smaller.
>>107275688Ask the dev
>>107277137I still don't like how finicky metadata/covers are for torrent downloads.
>>107233033I love jellyfin but why does this require a general?What are we supposed to discuss here? The software is so polished that once you have it installed and setup it just works with minimal maintenance.
>>107233033I have ~50tb of media on my plex server, is there a good reason to switch to JF? I have other people who use my server online too, and I wouldn't want to disrupt them for no reason
>>107277202>i havent figured out how to get it to work when not on the same networkYou need to use something like caddy and then buy a domain and register through cloudflare and set all of that up. Then you will enter your domain URL as the server location in the jellyfin app (or whatever client you use) on your phone.>wouldn't this cause a massive spike in data usage?Yes, if data usage is a concern for you then I'd recommend against streaming as your primary method of listening to your music. And if you're converting to mp3 yourself you should convert to 128kbps opus instead which is pretty transparent while also having a small file size.
>>107277391ok sweet. thanks anon. i think i'm gonna go for this!
>>107276298it was trivial to set up for me but i got the itch to set up shoko for some reason, and holy fuck is shokofin a pain in the ass. i might just give seanime a shot at this point
>>107277362Freedom mostlyImagine paying to transcode
>>107276298i just use anilistmaybe I did manual imports into sonarr but its been a while so I forget
>>107278274>Imagine paying to transcodeimagine transcodingso fucking stupidi turned that shit off
>>107278274It's not really that much, and even my boomer parents have heard of Plex. Plus it just worked when I set it up, I barely had to configure anything. Is JF the same? I've heard its finicky
>>107279765doesn't happen to me
>>107233033Had to unfortunately drop this because no support for VRR on my samsung tv with apple tv. Plex has this and its absolutely crucial for removing judder.If someone has any idea how to fix then let me knowAnd no im not paying a lot of money for it im already hosting my own god damn server
>>107280011infuse pro maybe, that's the best jellyfin client on apple tv, you can try swiftfin as well
>>107278274Paying for a functional system. Jellyfin is STILLLL shit. Videos take at least two or three times longer to load and seek than Plex. Plex seeks instantly and files load in under a second... Jellyfin makes me not want to seek back because I know it'll buffer for a few seconds.It's been years, it doesn't seem to be actually improving. The only benefit is that it's better with embedded metadata. Everything else sucks and the apps suck. That's just how it is rn.
>>107281232that sounds like an issue with your networking more than anything. maybe you benefit from plex potato resolution
>>107281232>Plex seeks instantlyso does Wholphin MPV
>>107279765I have that happen to any show not organized into season subdirectories. Maybe marking the library as a mix of movies and series makes this more likely?
>Want to have romaji titles instead of gay localised titles (eg Ruri no Houseki instead of Ruri Rocks, Asobi ni Iku yo instead of FUCKING Cat Planet Cuties)>every single DB uses the Americanised title when set to English, raw Japanese when set to JP>there seems to be no good solution to this other than renaming the shows yourself and whenever this is brought up on forums it gets brushed off as a "non issue"you'd think at least SOME autist would've put the functionality in somewhere. it's not the end of the world having to change it manually but it feels like an unnecessary annoyance.>>107276298I ended up doing the Monogatari shit largely manually. Pain in the arse but none of the DBs had it laid out the way I wanted it.
>>107282664romaji names are something i've surprisingly not thought much about, like i don't really have much of an opinion either way, there's some anime i know by the translated name, and some by the romaji name, but it doesn't bother me which i learn first really. it's like, the name i know it as is just the name i know it as. raw japanese obviously has the issue of me not knowing how to read the characters
>>107282783>raw japanese obviously has the issue of me not knowing how to read the charactersI have a decent enough grasp on runes to get by with the raw text, but that doesn't go for the others who hop into the server to watch things on it from time to time so I can't even use that as a fallback.
>>107282804that's fair, i honestly haven't heard of someone specifically preferring romaji names, even if there's a translated name available, though i can respect it.
>>107282828I'll be the first to admit it's a very autistic turbo weeb issue. I'm just too far gone and can't stand localisations in general. I'm the same with my Japanese vidya gaems.Probably doesn't help that I'm a bong so the American flavour of said localisations makes them feel especially off to me.
>>107282848>Probably doesn't help that I'm a bong so the American flavour of said localisations makes them feel especially off to me.yea.. i'm also not amercian, so share the sentiment regarding "americanisations" (or should that be with a zed?) i prefer the original meaning, even if you have to be a 'turbo weeb' to understand it
>>107282848>>107282897>Japanese vidya gaemsand yea, i play japanese games with at least the japanses VA. i haven't done any actual language study, but i can understand a fair number of words just purely from exposure. plus even when you don't understand what's being said, you at least get the intended 'feel' of how things are said, if that makes sense. that and i just don't really like american accents all that much in general
>>107281279If it was the networking, which is linked up with fibre/10G ethernet everywhere, it would buffer in Plex also.Jellyfin is just laggy. Every element is laggy including the UI, as well as video playing. Likely something to do with the video player and how it handles caching. It should have no issue when I'm on pure SSD's with ZFS and a gigantic arc cache, confirmed to be direct playing every file... Does anyone know what video player they use under the hood? Their own implementation or some other player?Either way I've been waiting years for this product to be ready and it's still not good enough to replace the paid product I got a lifetime pass for for 70 bucks 4 years ago. I really wanted to switch this time with the CloudFlare outage because on their TV apps etc you have to go through CloudFlare on LAN (you don't on a PC or notebook). I gave it a real try and it's just still not ready.
>>107233033I'm thinking of getting one of these as a home server.but it could also double as a movie/music streaming device.Is there a plugin or something that makes piracy with these things easy?Just search the movie and it downloads(torrent)/ and streams it?
how do i link to seerr or embed it for my mom? tried the search integration but seerr discovery is nice
>>107283693Yes, it's called Docker (you can use Podman, it's better for several reasons I can list, e.g. you are able to run files outside the container for healthchecks), but it's harder and Docker is fine.Sonarr, Radarr, Prowlarr, qBittorrent. If you want it through VPN, Gluetun and an AirVPN subscription. That's what you are looking for.
New Android TV client fork is out. https://github.com/Moonfin-Client/AndroidTV-FireTV/releaseshttps://github.com/Moonfin-Client/AndroidTV-FireTV/releaseshttps://github.com/Moonfin-Client/AndroidTV-FireTV/releases
>>107283621Nobody cares about your botnet.
>>107283769You're poor.Just admit its flaws, this is like when incels shill Arch instead of something good and production-proven like Debian. Admit the pros and cons vs the competitor then people can actually make an informed decision. It IS much laggier than Plex. It DOES however handle embedded metadata better (Plex fails with MKV metadata). But the lag tradeoff isn't worth it I'd rather just use MP4 for that to have a vastly faster response time. Some people might disagree. This is how you inform people with the truth.
>>107283735I see so:I use Radarr to find the torrents, then qbittorrent(web instance downloads the torrents) and then jellyfin picks them up from the specific directly I set.I mean i was hoping for something a bit more plug and play on the side of my mom but sure that can work.
>>107283851Yes exactly. Sonarr does TV shows and Radarr does movies. You set their output directory to the one you've selected in Jellyfin. This is the best solution, an all in one would be insanely unmaintainable and therefore of awful quality. You will need to set it up for your mom.GPT will be able to generate YAML files for you, poorly, but if you brute force it, eventually it will work. Otherwise just literally Google, there's a site called something like Dr. Frankenstein's blog that will give you examples of the files you basically just copy and paste.
>>107283827>It IS much laggier than Plex.It works fine for me. I don't need Plex. It will only get better over time so it's a win win for me.
>>107283753>Android TV client forkforks are so fucking pointless
>>107284271>It will only get better over timeThe incompetent developers are literally making it worse over time
>>107284452>The incompetent developers are literally making it worse over timeWorks for me. Much better than the bloat Plex is adding to their shitty botnet apps. Have you see the Play Store reviews for that Plex shit? Glad I never used Plex. Jellyfin just works with no upselling.
>>107284271I've been waiting for 5 years. I can't even really tell what has been improved since I first tried it honestly... I'll 100% try it again in another year because the actual features are better, but the frontend and video player is unacceptable to me. They claim that they de-spaghetti'd the database calls, so perhaps they will actually be able to work with the codebase faster now.
>>107284516>but the frontend and video player is unacceptable to me.I use the latest server with Wholphin MPV and it works fine. The Jellyfin for Android TV client also works fine. I don't get what people are so upset about. It's not perfect and it's not an older project. There's some bumps in the road but it has improved and best of all, it's not Plex bloatware. It's total freedom that works fine as long as you follow the directions they give us.
>>107284505You can't afford it is probably the real reason... I've tried and used both first hand, so I can actually compare and tell you what's up. Jellyfin need to fix their fucking TV apps, period. It needs to be navigating through folders in under half a second max. The state at present is not acceptable... Fix it and I'll use it. I'd rather use it if they both functioned ~equal, but it's a blowout and not good enough.
>>107284552I have the latest version brah. I just tried it again right now and it took over 4 seconds to load a subdirectory on my TV with 16 folders. It lags when scrolling TV shows and movies while the thumbnails lazy load in, all taking around 2 seconds each.I can't deal with this personally. It's a dealbreaker. I use a media server to watch stuff on my TV not to sit at a computer on an office chair on an inferior monitor. The apps aren't acceptable is my opinion. People should be aware of this before deciding on something.
>>107284617Still better than Plex bloatware asking for an email address.
>>107284628In performance it's literally a blowout. It's like a pro UFC fighter beating up some random nerd. You're getting an inferior product, 100%, if it's worth it for you to avoid entering your email, or you couldn't afford the lifetime pass when it was out, maybe the inferior product is better.
>>107284645Still using Jellyfin and it works fine. Go shill your bloatware somewhere else. Nobody cares about your upselling botnet.
>>107284645>you couldn't afford the lifetime pass when it was outye lemme just grab my time machine
>>107284645>inferior product then why is Plex getting such bad reviews and complaints on all their app store pages?
I just use Kodi as my frontend, because I agree, the majority of jellyfin frontends suck. Works perfectly fine.I also agree that the jellyfin devs have been making it worse over time, to the point that I'm starting to eye other software (music library performance is entirely broken on 10.11.x). I also am concerned with them dropping SSL support in 10.12.x because "it's hard" and instead telling you to run another webserver as a reverse proxy if you want https.
>>107284727Are you srs? Freeware nerd poors have lower expectations. Paying customers are harder to please.The Jellyfin product is 1000000% not close in performance. Objective FACT. At least on TV apps. It's just a fact. Stop your faggot queeny catboy feelings and use your head like an actual man.
>>107284785>music library performance is entirely broken on 10.11.xwhy would you use jellyfin for music? it doesn't make sense. it's clearly a new thing for jellyfin. navidrome is so much better.
>>107284825>thing that worked perfectly fine for years breaks>why did you use thingAre you kidding? Jellyfin was fine for music up until the DB rewrite (which has issues outside of music, it's just that music exposes all the problems as music libraries are generally much larger). Navidrome has its own downsides (can't have multiple libraries). I'm now eying navidrome but the only reason I'm doing so is jellyfin has gotten objectively worse from 10.10 to 10.11
>>107284816>The Jellyfin product is 1000000% not close in performance.Don't care. It just works for me. The speed is more than enough for needs. I don't get Plex bloat and I never have to deal with even more Plex bullshit down the road. Jellyfin is fine for me and there is literally no reason for me to cuck myself with Plex.
>>107284825Emby supported music as well, what the fuck are you taking about "is a new thing for Jellyfin"
Now they've realized the DB locks are causing memory spikeshttps://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/issues/15509

how is jellyfin for audiobooks, books and music? It would be nice to have everything in one place for my family but jellyfin isn't even great for its main things which are movies and series lmao
>>107292029Make sure to buy the lifetime pass!

>>107283621>Does anyone know what video player they use under the hood? Their own implementation or some other player?ExoPlayer, but you can configure it to use an external one
I like Jellyfin, but a major issue with it is inflexible about show seasons. It expects things as show/seasonx/episode, but I use senpcli to mirror animepahe, and senpcli wants files in its own layout to keep track of what it already has.The solution was to write a python script which asks a local LLM to figure out the season based on the episode description, and create hard links in a separate directory which is then indexed by Jellyfin. Pain in the ass, but if you don’t do it, you end up with every season indexed as “season 1” and you can’t distinguish between them.
>>107293007just use another anime plugin you pedo
>>107248352god please PLEASE bring a queen like this in to my life, i beg you god PLEASEoh man.. i reverse searched it... its a whore. WHY?????????? PURPOSEFULLY TAINTING HER BEAUTIFUL ANGELIC BODY......... WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
Are things like AniDB... Necessary? Most of my anime seems fine as long as I have "season" subfolders.

>>107256165Why don't you fix it then?
so i thought doing remote service from jellyfin was a bit of a pain. i tried plex, but the music organizations is awful. i can't organize the playlists the way i need them.i guess i have to figure out jellyfin again... or navidrome?i am not fully illiterate, i just don't care to download all this software, watch hours of guides, and tinker around right now
>>107293950lol why are you such a fucking fag
>>107297957pretty much everyone claims navidrome is king if all you care about is music
>>107297957>i tried plex, but the music organizations is awful. i can't organize the playlists the way i need them.use navidrome
Anyone else running nix OS on their media server? Hows it going for you? Apart from the initial learning curve I love it, cause it makes setting up new services so quick and simple
>>107233033Does anyone have any rec'd about building a nas or unraid jellyfin server for streaming to like 4-6ish people? Not really sure which pay I should take I hear unraid is plenty fine but do I need to put my tb of media on a ssd or nvme? Or does the OS just need that and then decent drives is enough. I want to download as much as I can before the internet is flooded with AI crap
>>107298678>>107299172thanks! i will figure this out. i'm sure its not that hard. its just a lot of verbose information.
>>107299951sweet, i got navidrome running now!figured out how to do playlistnow i just need to figure out the remote shit
>>107299519most people uses nvme or ssd for the system and then put their media on hhd, it's the best price for storage and it handles 4k just fine. buying flash storage for media today doesn't make much sense since price for storage is always going down, so future proofing for 8k is dumb.
FUCK YOU I HATE ALL OF YOU FUCKING JUST LET ME PLAY EP5 DIRECLTY YOUR FAG ASS APP DELETED MY WATCH HISTORY GOD KNOWS WHY AND WON'T LET ME PLAY EP5 IT ONLY SHOWS DUXKING EP1 AND NOTHING ELSE KYS

What info do you guys like to keep in your filenames? I do movie_name (year) - [BD/DVDRip/Remux] Sometimes I'll add stuff like [Criterion] or the version of the movie (theatrical etc.).
>update>intro skipper addon doesnt work anymorefuck this shitthis is why i only update once or twice per year
>>107303404Nobody should be updating this piece of shit at all until they fix the database issues
>>107277611I've just started using shoko and it seems like a godsend. File hashing seems like the perfect solution to matching media files up with their metadata. Why is it bad?
>>107304798shoko is fine, it's shokofin that's been a pain in the ass. it fails to sync cover images half the time, and this time for some reason it's putting [Shoko series=some number] at the end of every title and not syncing episode metadata correctly, despite using the same settings i was using previously. maybe im just retarded
>>107233033Does it support Dolby Afmos
I have no idea what this shit doesI could install it on proxmox right now, what ways would it improve my life?

>>107305539Yes
>>107306373>I have no idea what this shit doespeople like you are the dumbest people on /g/
Plexfags might be the most delusional group in the entire technosphere.They hurl out vague criticisms of jellyfin one after the other without ever making any concrete claims or shoeing evidence of their qualms all to justify getting scammed by their software choice.
>>107308031they paid for Plex so they feel obligated to cope with the money they gave up for no reason.
>>107308062I wasn't around when Plex was gaining traction but was Emby a good competitor at the time?
>jellyfin thread>half the posts are about Plex>the rest are about jellyfin's growing number of bugs and performance issues
>>107308073>>half the posts are about Plex>>the rest are about jellyfin's growing number of bugs and performance issueswhat do they have in common anon
>>107308069>was Emby a good competitor at the time?not really. plex was blowing it away and then they went paid model to compete with plex but the jellyfin project forked it to keep it in the community's hands.
>>107308073I have no problem with my jellyfin
>>107308073Ok I will post about how my jellyfin setup just werks and is awesome to use, my kids have their own collections and jellyfin tracks everybodies watch history perfectly.
>>107308073Fake news. At least a few posts were about having no idea what this software does.
is it just me or is Jellyfin a bit schizophrenic about refreshing metadata from changed nfo files? I manage my nfos with tinyMediaManager and after I make a change in there, then scan for new/updated files in jellyfin the fucker just ignores whatever's changed, seemingly prioritisng what it already has in its internal database from the initial nfo scan. Doing a full library scan doesn't sort it out either.The only way I can seem to truly force it is by deleting and re-adding the entire library the changed file is in which is less than fucking convenient.
refreshing metadata worked for me
>>107310240meant to reply to >>107310127
>>107310240>>107310248It's absolutely not out of the question that I'm doing something retarded. I'm just fishing to see if anyone else has run into this too. I'll have to play around with it some more after work.
>>107310266I don't know if it's relevant but you might also have to check the NFO box in library settings where you add folders and image fetchers
>>107310299That box just lets Jellyfin save things you change/scrape in its own UI to nfo, which I don't want to do since I have TMM managing it for me instead. Jellyfin should read from nfo and prioritise it over all other sources as a hard rule.
Feels good to be king. https://selfh.st/survey/2025-results/
>>107310316plex would still be number one if they didnt pivot to services. i can see why they did, they are a business that wants to make money, but once i caught my server spiking the cpu and gpu at 2AM like 3-4 years ago reading my library i decided to switch to jellyfin. jellyfin was a lot worse back then and the only client that was worth a damn was kodi. but in the last 3 years jellyfin has been great.
Do you guys have OpenSubtitles accounts for easy downloading in Kodi/Jellyfin or do you use Bazarr or something else?

I'm can't be bother to buy yet another hardware piece for my living room to do something my TV is already doing (albeit badly).On an unrelated note: I want to make an offline Jellyfin server for my parents on a mini-PC. I would update it yearly or so. I want it to start and be displayed directly on their Samsung TV with minimal hassle. I'm thinking:- Linux mini-PC- direct boot to X11 and a Jellyfin flatpack or browser. - no login.- FLIRC IR to use a standard TV remote.- HDMI link to TV- maybe some kind of visual keyboard?Or maybe something with some kind of Samsung App and Ethernet connection to the server.... Any tips?In the end no user should have to touch a keyboard or deal with a DE to start and use the server.

FUCK YOU I HATE YOUR STUPID FUCKING NIGGER SOFTWARE IT NEVER FUCKING WORKS
>>107313070>FLIRC IR to use a standard TV remote.Kodi would be a far better front end for this than the shitey native Jallyfin clients on PC. You can use a plugin to have it use Jellyfin for media info and data and it works really well from my experience.
>>107314266I did tailscale and it works! i plan to slowly upgrade my system and even do the domain thing. This is pretty much perfect except... I can't seem to browse my folders from Navidrome...?I got so much music from spotdl, that im getting rate limited kekNext goal is a bigger HDD. Then get all my music files onto that. Eventually do NAS? I will have my own personal spotify!
>>107314201The Hisense/Toshiba "smart TV" OS. It's not that bad but there are a lot of ads / promoted services (that you can mostly get rid of) and the ecosystem is rather closed. There are some limited ways to hack around it. Most Hisense TVs have a Vidaa OS version and an Android option, but in Yurop they almost exclusively sell the Vidaa option.Some guy on github said 2 years ago he got permission from Hisense to publish a Jellyfin app (probably sime kind of enhanced web app) and got the SDK for free. He then stopped working on the app. A more or less native app would solve some problems linked with HDR and some codecs.Another guy made a spoofed Vidaa appstore that you can use through a DNS trick to set up simple webapps from your jellyfin server and other services. >>107314600Thanks, I'm also looking at Kodi. I havent tried it since 2014 and I don't have as clear an idea of what the set up would look like compared with Jellyfin. IIRC Kodi doesn't do much without a shitload of more or less shady addons.>>107314266Do you also use audiobookshelf for podcasts, and if yes, are you satisfied?
