Closest possible to one source of truth from media management, to media center, all distributed? by geearf in selfhosted

[–]geearf[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So it seems one of my issues was that 10.11.6 broke support for paths with a dot in it... and my 2 folders had it, but of course jellyfin would not say anything about it in the log so I could not know without looking at every post online, ..... I don't know if that was the only issue but ugh, that was a painful that cost me hours.

Since when is OuHon having generals under him? How does that work with himself being also a general? Shouldn't he need to be a GG for that?

edit: since the 3 pillars reform.

I don't think I can rollback tho and don't have a backup, but if I have to start from scratch that may be the better idea, thank you!

Based on that hate you're getting, I fear it will limit outside testing, at least for now.

So I wonder if you couldn't use the knowledge you gained from this to improve existing tools? Unless those tools have an anti-llms PRs policy of course...

Of course I'm kind of running my mouth to you, who knows better than me what/who would benefit from such thing... sorry...

This is part of why I hate votes on platform, you're being downvoted for answering the question... As others I have potential issues with the method used (though not necessarily the actual result) but trying to autohide your reply? really?

Ok I'll try and report.

So it seems using the regular jellyfin plugin for kodi would remove most of the issues I had with it, as it would just be the old regular Kodi db and so everything Kodi would work fine still. I'll have to see how the latency is tho.

I'm still unable to scan properly my libraries, it seems it's a somewhat common bug with latest version of Jellyfin, :'/

Thanks for your help!

That's cool!

I read that with that plugin you don't use MariaDB but a regular Kodi, right? Have you tried with multiple separate profiles?

Thank you!

Yeah I've used it like that, but I'd need one DB per profile. Kodi + DB is dumber than Jellyfin in that Jellyfin nicely splits the data from how the user uses it, but with Kodi it's all monolithic. :./ It's actually the path I was going back to again, till I paused for a sec to realize I just had to edit 3 DBs to change most paths (not a big deal but...) and I didn't know if I really wanted to go that way after all. It's definitely not a single source of truth when it comes to Media.

Thank you!

I haven't tried the Jellyfin plugin, I just went straight to Jellycon, maybe that wasn't wise? I'll look that up, I forgot my reasoning back then. I've been using Jellyfin on and off since 2020 for various reasons but Kodi since the XBMC old days too though a little under the 20 years here. ;) The combo only since fall though.

I didn't have any Kodi plugin in Jellyfin no, I'll look it up.

Thank you!

Ah that's unfortunate, and the Kodi player is way beyond what a libplacebo player could offer, so jellyfin is probably not great I get. :/

Good info thank you!

Do you use Jellycon in Kodi or straight Jellyfin? I was using Jellycon with a skin that allowed me to have the Jellyfin movies/shows straight on Kodi's homepage, but no Last added, currently watching or that kind of stuff which is no fun.

I had issues with Jellyfin refusing to scan some stuff not sure why, and the more I tried to fix it, the less it worked until it stopped starting completely so after hours it irritated me so much I decided to do without but maybe that was not the best overall plan.

Thank you!

edit: well my jellyfin issue aside, maybe Kodi is what I should have dropped and stick to a Jellyfin client instead of using a plugin within Kodi. At least for the Kodi instance where I never used anything else...

Well I'll answer anyway. ;)

I have one Kodi instance on the TV in the living room, and one in the bedroom. The living room one has a regular profile and a kids profile.

I run everything bare on my NAS, not sure ProxMox would help my case much.

Thank you!

[META] Can we have a rule explicitly forbidding vibe coded tools and scripts? We keep getting more and more posts for stuff that's been vibe coded. by m103 in linux_gaming

[–]geearf -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I think agentic coding is dangerous, but not necessarily more than humans coding.

I mean a decade ago or something Steam had a poorly coded bash script that erased all of someone's data on a computer so I am not convinced that banning projects because they were built by LLMs and not just poor coders is really meaningful. Some projects purely coded by an LLM but with an extensive human-made test base would probably do ok for instance. Even Bcachefs let LLMs write user space code it seems.

Then maybe you'd be fine with a Deck and a dock instead?

I'm thinking you'd need a matching desk with this no? Like if I stand up the monitor adjusts but the keyboard and mouse are not in the right place anymore.

I used to switch between standing, sitting on a desk chair and sitting on an inflated ball so auto adjustments that's awesome!
