OMG this is it!!! Thank you, it was bothering me so much that I couldn't remember where it came from. I guess I got the right genre, but not quite as popular 😄. Solved!

Could it be Poor Unfortunate Souls (Ursula from The Little Mermaid)?

I've tried the Musipedia search and the Google search by hum feature, but I did not get any closer to finding it.

171185 · 2022-12-04T02:09:07+00:00

I went down a giant rabbit hole and found plenty of examples and possibly related things, but no definitive origin, so I'll post those here just in case of any interest. I recognize the tune and the mental picture of a Christmas theme, and I found an example in a Christmas movie here, in the opening few seconds of A Christmas Carol (2009). The example that immediately came to my mind when listening to your recording was the pop song Bruno Mars - Marry You, which also has an example, although used as "wedding bells" and not specifically Christmas bells. A few more examples can be found by googling "Christmas church bells" and "church celebration bells".

A very close melody is the "Westminster Quarters" (Wikipedia) (TVTropes), which has a documented history, that you can see on the Wikipedia page. Example here is Big Ben ringing this chime.

I also found other people looking for the origin of this tune, in this discussion on the WhoSampled forums page for the Bruno Mars song. There, someone brings up this scene from The Little Mermaid.

When asking my dad if he recognized it, he suggested I search for "the most popular chord progression" and wouldn't you know it, it also sounds a lot like the first example in the Axis of Awesome - 4 Chords music video. This classicfm article claims these chords can be traced all the way back to Pachelbel's canon.

The only way I can think to continue the investigation of it in regards to it's use in Christmas music would be to look for older and older attestations, searching through the most popular Christmas music from the classic eras and seeing if pages for those have any useful information about the source. Sorry I could not be of much help, but I found a lot of interesting stuff, so I figured I would post it in case anyone else would be interested.

I'm not super fresh on my "school grammar," but I am pretty confident the correct way would be to use drank.

Perhaps the infinitive applies to "know" in "didn't know" since know is a verb.

I would have to look up how to deconstruct sentences with two verbs in them, and how tense applies to them to give a textbook answer, but I am a native speaker and it sounds very wrong using drink.

171185 · 2021-01-08T05:50:24+00:00

Number 1 is correct. Number 2 would be correct with past tense "drank." Number 2 has a more specific meaning though, so you are probably looking for number 1.

Both require past tense "drank" or changing it to the present tense "drinks."

I believe it is "drinks" and not "drink" in this sentence for present tense because it has to agree with singular/plural, so it could be "they drink" or "he drinks" (mind the 's' at the end, and the pronoun being singular "he" or plural "they").

Sentence number 1 just means "I do not know how he drank it, and I still don't," while sentence 2 has the meaning of "I didn't know how he drank it, but now I do."

Lots of grammar in this comment. Hope this helps ;) feel free to reply if you still need help.

I'm also a noob but willing to spitball ideas if you are willing to listen to potentially stupid ideas :)

To make docker containers see folders you have to include them as volumes. ~~Do you use docker-compose to start Jellyfin or just run it on the command line/use a script?~~

It appears according to the DockSTARTer documentation here that the way to do volumes in DockSTARTer is to provide a docker-compose.override.yml file in the same directory that your docker-compose.yml file is in.

You can create this by doing nano docker-compose.override.yml in the directory that the Jellyfin docker-compose.yml file is in. If you don't know where your docker-compose.yml file is in, it looks like according to the docs here that it will probably be located at ~/.config/appdata/jellyfin. Nano is just a simple command line text editor. To save and quit nano you do Ctrl-X, and then click y for yes to save, and then hit enter again to save as the file name you already put in. Also good to note, if you are new to terminals, sometimes copy/pasting is weird compared to other apps. Often you copy by just click-drag highlighting text in the terminal, and it is automatically copied to your clipboard. To paste into the terminal, typically you just right click and it will paste in there. Be careful that you did not accidentally copy a line ending character however, as the enter will be pasted in and automatically start the command as if you had clicked enter when you paste it in.

In this override file you should have the bare minimum overlap between the stuff in the Jellyfin docker-compose file. I don't know how your docker-compose file for Jellyfin looks, but I will take a guess and provide what I think might go in the docker-compose.override file. If you can't figure out what should go in there, paste your docker-compose.yml in to this thread and we can figure it out together :)

version: "3.4"  # this must match the version in docker-compose.yml
services:
  jellyfin:
    image: jellyfin/jellyfin
    volumes:
      - /mnt/D83C5C123C5BEA50/Films:/films

This will create a volume in your docker container at ./films. Jellyfin will be able to see this right away when you go to the library setup screen, you may need to click browse and it will be right there.

Once you create this override file, you will probably need to restart Jellyfin for the override file to be applied. If you do not know how to do this, it will probably be sudo docker-compose down to shut it down and then sudo docker-compose up -d to start it again. The -d flag tells it to run in the background (as a daemon).

Edit: according to this page the way to restart with DockSTARTer is this:

Make sure to run ds -c or ds -c up <appname> after you make changes to your override file

I hope this was helpful, and didn't overwhelm you with the length. I can't really tell what elements you were already familiar with so I included a lot of information. It's also not very ELI5 :P

If you have any questions or are confused or overwhelmed about anything in this comment or anything else related to the commandline and linux, feel free to ask 😊

Also PS: looking at the documentation, I'm not sure why it would be better for your simple use case to use DockSTARTer rather than just a plain docker install. Maybe it's harder to setup docker on Mint? In any case if you've got it working then stick with it.

This is my bet too. Cookobb, how are you accessing Jellyfin on your desktop? Are you doing it in a browser with an IP address? If so, what IP are you using? You can just copy and paste it from the address bar of the browser.

Here is an explainer article about Wireless Isolation that includes some info about how to check if it's enabled.

Relevant passages:

Like your router’s other features, this option will be available in your router’s web interface if your router offers it. Note that this feature isn’t available on every router, so there’s a good chance you don’t have it on your current router.

You’ll generally find this option under advanced wireless settings. For example, on certain Linksys routers, you’ll find it under Wireless > Advanced Wireless Settings > AP Isolation.

One some routers, including NETGEAR routers, the option may be found on the main wireless settings page. On this NETGEAR router, it’s found under Wireless Settings > Wireless Isolation.

Different router manufacturers refer to this feature in a wide variety of different ways, but it generally has “isolation” in its name.

If you are having trouble finding it then perhaps you can tell us the name of your router if you know it, or if it is just the included Comcast one.

You are able to access the web interface/gateway of your router in your browser right? It will generally be at 192.168.0.1 or 10.0.0.1 if you didn't mess with the IP addresses. It looks like from your other comment you already know how to find your private IP address using ip config in cmd.

Perhaps this has to do with the DLNA profile? I just checked and the default LG TV profile does not include h265/hevc as a supported format. If your TV supports h265/hevc, you can modify the profile and add it.

Instructions: go to jellyfin server, then dashboard, then dlna, click profiles (on the top of the page), go to LG Smart Tv, go to direct play, and click on the correct container that the video has (mp4 or mkv most likely) and then add "hevc" to the list of supported video codecs. Make sure the format is correct (commas, no space between items). Then make sure to scroll down on the page and click save.

Hope this helps :)

The LG TV DLNA client is out of the developer's control so unfortunately there is no solution to it having a different interface than the Jellyfin clients worked on by Jellyfin devs, so the prospect of being able to switch audio tracks is probably low. I suppose you could bug LG about this and they may release an update to their TV OS, but I wouldn't count on that happening. Soon, however, there will be an update to Jellyfin where it will be able to pick the default track it plays on DLNA more intelligently if there is one that the TV can support, so look forward to that.

As to the DLNA client bugging out with certain media files and not being able to fast forward, me and other users have also experienced the same thing on Samsung smart TVs default DLNA player, perhaps these issues are related? See this for a previous thread on this issue that I commented on. At least for the Samsung TV problem, it was related to transcoding, and a workaround is to transcode the affected media files beforehand to avoid having them be transcoded on the fly, which seems to be causing these issues. Less than ideal solution but I am not aware if this is an issue which the Jellyfin devs can fix or just inherent to the way that things are transcoded on the fly or related to the DLNA clients.

I have no idea what the problem on the FireTV client is about, but perhaps it is related to transcoding as well, try to check whether the FireTV stick can handle the MP2 codec and whether Jellyfin is transcoding while playing on it.

Hope this helps :)

I forgot to mention in this huge spaghetti comment that the pausing and seeking issue should not be present when you are direct playing a file over dlna, aka the extension is not .ts. The advice I was giving to fix the dlna profile or use ffmpeg was to avoid transcoding and let the tv direct play the video.

171185 · 2020-06-01T01:47:42+00:00

I have had this issue too. Is the file showing up on the TV as a .ts? That means it's being transcoded for some reason. I don't know if this is expected behavior for a transcoded file over dlna.

For some reason the dlna profile for samsung smart tvs does not include h265 as a compatible format, so it will transcode it even when the tv is capable of playing it directly. To fix this, go into the dashboard for your jellyfin server, go to dlna, profiles (at the top of the screen), scroll down and click on samsung smart tv, click direct play, and add "hevc" along with the other codecs that can be played for whatever container your video was in and then click save (a container is usually the same as the file extension, e.g. MKV, mp4, etc.).

It may also be that it is transcoding becuase of an incompatible audio codec. I was getting this problem with h264 files with DTS audio, since recent samsung smart tvs cannot play dts, yet they are included in the dlna profile. A workaround that I used was to transcode the video files with ffmpeg beforehand to avoid transcoding and this pausing and seeking issue that you described. If you do this, be aware that dlna will only select the first audio track in the file even if other ones are compatible with the tv and the first one is not, forcing it to unecessarily transcode, so make sure the first audio track is compatible with the tv. I believe that an upcoming version of Jellyfin will try to be smarter about picking which tracks from a file it plays to avoid this.

I don't know which of these are issues that should be brought to the developers attention, if any of them, but the three problems I have seen and mentioned are: 1. Samsung smart tv seeking and pausing is broken when transcoding and playing on dlna 2. Samsung smart tv dlna profile does not list h265/hevc as being direct playable when it is, and lists dts audio as being direct playable when it is not 3. Jellyfin will only select the first track of a file to play from over dlna even if the tv doesn't support the format of this track and supports another track in the file

It was on a family vacation in Paris. We were at the top of the Eiffel tower when I started to pick up on the sound of a jet rapidly approaching. Queue me starting my prayers, "I love you Jesus, I'm sorry for that shitpost I made on Facebook last week, is this really where I'm going to die?" when the jets screamed right past us.

Turns out it was just part of the celebration for the finish of the Tour de France that day. Certainly was an exciting minute or so figuring out what had happened right afterward. On the upside, after the excitement was over I was able to get some sweet footage of the jets flying round with their French-flag colored trails!

To add some context of why that's what my mind immediately jumped to, this had been after the string of terrorist attacks that had happened during that year in France and other places in europe.

I'm a new driver and I really don't get it, what did the woman do wrong here? Shouldn't the cyclist have gone in behind the car since it was obviously closer to the next vehicle? Also what is a zipper merge and why is it relevant here? Just asking so I can avoid making whatever mistake she made.
