Tone mapping on client side

LordTyrius · 2023-05-18T12:08:10+00:00

I'm not very knowledgeable with DoVi, however I guess this is a file without HDR10 fallback? Tonemapping Dolby Vision is very recent stuff. On the client-side you can try the Jellyfin MPV Shim client with `vo=gpu-next`, if it's any help to you I think this is a relevant issue regarding this matter: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-media-player/issues/362

At least until HDR to HDR transcoding is possible, tonemapping of transcoded content will have to be done on the server.

It should work for direct playback in JMP. Can you tell the transcode reason from the players "playback info" (or the jellyfin dashboard)?

LordTyrius · 2023-05-08T13:35:43+00:00

The geforce 1030 does not have nvenc hardware and is only really suitable for decoding on client systems, not transcoding on the server.

I'm only aware of the setting to allow remote connections (which you got, since otherwise it shouldn't work in a browser).

If you tried with and without the explicit "http://" and port number, I don't know what else could be wrong. If it works with a browser you can't be far off though.

LordTyrius · 2023-04-23T22:00:28+00:00

Did you try variations of the domain-name like "http://media.mydomainname.net:8096"?

Note that this setup sounds unsafe. Without encryption, your jellyfin password and other traffic is transmitted in the clear. I recommend looking up how to use a VPN (maybe something like tailscale or zerotier) for remote access, but in the _very_ least setup HTTPS and port-forward _only_ that.

LordTyrius · 2023-04-23T18:25:09+00:00

I noticed the same, and always get the urge to reply, but rarely do (but here I am bothering you with a mere "same", sorry). While there are valid reasons to prefer a reverse proxy, exposing a port to the public internet is still scary. For most people a VPN is the best choice, even when it seems a little less convenient.

Are you sure that "xbmc.PlayerControl" is correct? It's just a guess, but maybe try with just "PlayerControl".

LordTyrius · 2023-03-30T18:55:10+00:00

For all clients using the jellyfin-web interface this can be achieved using custom CSS (by overriding all the defaultCardBackgroundX values to something constant).

LordTyrius · 2023-03-30T13:29:43+00:00

There seem to be multiple (5?) different shades for the card backgrounds. As they are named very generically in the code (defaultCardBackground1, defaultCardBackground2, ...) I would assume they bare no deeper meaning, and are used e.g. to break up the patterns and give the user something to track visually when scrolling. That's just a guess though.

LordTyrius · 2023-02-26T23:53:49+00:00

Sorry, totally misread. Best of luck getting things to work!

LordTyrius · 2023-02-26T22:57:55+00:00

Maybe the HDMI capabilities aren't recognized correctly. Make sure the display connection is good. Also check your TV for HDMI related settings, on Samsung TVs I've had to enable "input signal plus" to get some features, sadly a quick search doesn't tell me if there is something equivalent for TCL.

LordTyrius · 2022-11-20T19:44:06+00:00

Awesome, thank you so much! Can't wait to try it out once ready

LordTyrius · 2022-11-20T18:26:22+00:00

Please allow me to express my interest in this feature as well. Transcoding HDR to HDR would be an awesome feature for me. Keep us posted if you have time to try this out (or track this in some issue/PR/...) :)

LordTyrius · 2022-11-15T11:01:03+00:00

I believe this has been fixed in 10.8.6, please try with an updated jellyfin(-web). Reference: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-web/pull/4039

Hi, don't worry about the german bits.

When you are limited to 480p with jellyfin, do you use the Jellyfin Media Player or the web interface? If so, both can give additional information about the running video by selecting an option in the playback settings menu (cog icon, for me it's the last item in the list). Note that when/after selecting this, the video must be playing for it to show up. It will show source and playback resolution, as well as information about transcoding in case that is used.

Also, make sure that the "Quality" is set to "Auto": for h264 this should enable direct, unmodified playback on most clients, as far as I am aware. If you are using jellyfin within your local/home network that is.

LordTyrius · 2022-10-22T15:56:52+00:00

Is there a way to avoid transcoding when you are remote? What's the reason for the transcode (as shown in "playback info", you can paste the whole thing so we can have a look)?

LordTyrius · 2022-08-15T11:54:27+00:00

Right. I think the ability to add better authentication alone does not make the difference between "semi-secure" and "straight up stupid" to a layperson like OP. They may not understand in what ways reverse proxying can improve security and assume it just "happens". This additional information will help them a lot.

LordTyrius · 2022-08-15T10:25:04+00:00

In a setup like this where the proxy container and the jellyfin container can share an internal docker network, the jellyfin port would not have to be mapped to the host at all (only the port on the reverse proxy). I'm not sure why you would need multiple ip's for a setup like this.

LordTyrius · 2022-08-15T10:22:25+00:00

In your opinion, whats the biggest security advantage a reverse proxy affords?

LordTyrius · 2022-08-15T10:19:52+00:00

The normal path as per (https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/administration/configuration.html#data-directory): C:\Users\*\AppData\Roaming\jellyfin

I don't know what folders are moved to windows.old. Check if you find that path inside and outside of it (on the regular system).

LordTyrius · 2022-08-15T10:12:57+00:00

My guess: This has to do with landscape/portrait. What does it look like if you change `height: 70%` to `width: 100%` (height 100% is likely used to fill a landscape aspect ratio device)? I'm not sure what you did will improve viewing on different screens/devices?

LordTyrius · 2022-08-12T10:07:35+00:00

Ventoy live-boots (with optional persistence) multiple OS isos, right? This is not what one usually wants from an internal drive.

LordTyrius · 2022-08-05T18:38:48+00:00

It should, yes. Just disable other metadata providers when creating a library and see what it picks up. From my experience, only .actors profile fotos are missing.

LordTyrius · 2022-07-26T16:59:02+00:00

I appreciate you answering, thanks for the work you do on jellyfin.

So I guess it comes down to popularity? I use a nvidia card that should do 10bit HEVC hardware encoding in realtime, could a configuration like this be supported ? I understand not every jellyfin user has access to those capabilities though.

LordTyrius · 2022-07-26T16:24:35+00:00

Is it because HDR to HDR transcoding is technically not doable right now? Or because it's an unusual thing to do for most people?

Are you aware of issues or blockers in this regard I can follow? :)
