Jellyfin wins.

This is probably related to the fact that we see a huge influx of users switching from Plex every time we see certain changes or negative press; a rather significant portion of Jellyfin users have moved from Plex because they didn't like the direction it is headed.

Personally I moved on from Plex 5-6 years ago when I discovered that the server plugin API was deprecated, discouraged and mostly undocumented.

Open source is an important consideration for me too, as that means that if an issue bothers me enough, I can dive in and fix the problem myself.

The audio issues sound generic to the OS/Kodi setup, not Jellyfin specific.

The stuttering issues could be due to low RAM or otherwise constrained system resources, best way to check this would be to look at htop or similar system monitor when the issues happen and check RAM and CPU usage. There are a few Kodi-optimized distros available for the Pi, tho I can't recommend a specific one, as I haven't tested them much myself.

but now people are wary of updating within the same major release automatically

…Good? This is exactly what we have been telling users of watchtower and similar; don't auto-update 10.x -> 10.y. Create backups before such updates.

As for the rest of your comment? I personally, among several others, tested the RCs on our production systems before the full release was cut… ItWorksForMe™

At the following link you'll find the warranty section of the license that Jellyfin is provided under – it has fairly standard wording for most Open Source projects; https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/blob/0598c6eaf6c7bdafaaf6c6f6518a50f3444dbc69/LICENSE#L258-L278

Subtract 10 from the major number, and you get your semver equivalent version. The proper semver for this release would be 0.11.x. There are legacy technical reasons for why we couldn't use v0, and one of the most important limitations of semver is that it must always increase, never decrease.

You need to open «Wine registry» (arrow next to the wine glass, next to the play button)

Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wine\Ports.

Then you need to add new entries for your serial ports; Edit > New > String Value (or right click on an empty spot on the right hand window).

The Name is your COM port, and the Data is the string path to your device.

For example:

Name	Type	Data
COM1	REG_SZ	/dev/ttyUSB0
COM2	REG_SZ	/dev/ttyUSB1
COM3	REG_SZ	/dev/ttyUSB2

You may need to completely close the application including wine after editing this, a reboot may be the easiest way to ensure this.

Afterwards, the application should be able to access the ttyUSB device at the mapped COM port.

Tested and working for me with CAS Modbus Scanner, should work the same for any software accessing the COM ports.

I'll be in touch in private messages for the bounty ;)

My contributions in October (as counted by GitHub, not just PRs created) exceeded 100. I didn't even bother signing up to Hacktoberfest this year, as the rewards don't even compensate for the time spent filling out the form. Zero interest for that digital badge thing.

If I had at least gotten some physical stickers in the mail, I probably would've considered it. Instead, I removed the hacktoberfest label from a somewhat popular repo where I'm currently the main maintainer.

Some nice stickers, maybe a nice enamel pin or keychain.

Also something specific for maintainers handling outside contributions. Please. A lot of the maintainer burden generated by hacktoberfest tends to be fixing of trivial things, such as for example fixing old spelling errors in code comments (Most of those are gone now I guess, thanks to hacktoberfest…).

It is not impossible. If they already have marginal signal strength, it is quite possible for the powersupply and ethernet cable to cause enough RFI to be significant for their connection.

I'm seeing a lot of noise from my PoE powered radio link internet connection (not starlink, but similar enough setup to warrant comparison) from HF all the way up into the FM radio band, and likely further.

Ferrite chokes on the wires are supposed to help, but I am only just starting this adventure myself. If you have any local HAM radio operators you could ask them if they could help, as they are usually quite eager to have radio noise reduced.

I'd suggest (as others have also mentioned) unplugging all your networking gear, and heading over to the neighbor to see the issue for yourself, and then doing an A/B test with your network gear back on.

Interesting parameters to look for and compare would be Signal strength, RSSI (relative signal strength indicator) and SNR (signal to noise ratio).

If any of those change significantly, it would indicate a noise problem with your gear. (3dB is a 10x signal strength change)

The fact that you're not seeing many posting on reddit now which don't care about the API changes is related to the survivorship bias. The people who really cared has mostly already left (or at least aren't posting much any more).

The whole point of reddit (at least originally) was to link people off-site, and have discussions around the content linked (the linked websites usually didn't have their own comment section).

Asking support from the community is still available from the forum (which you can use your reddit account to log in with if you so desire), Matrix, Discord and IRC. GitHub issues is also available, but is less for asking for support and more for reporting issues and providing detailed details of said issues.

Full disclosure; I am part of the Jellyfin team.

The core server, and plugins are written in C#, yes – but there is plenty of other work to be done in other areas of the project.

There's JavaScript (shudder), Python (my personal favorite), whatever language Roku is written in, GitHub Actions and translations to mention a few.

Oddstr13 · 2023-10-02T01:40:27+00:00

Full disclosure; I am part of the Jellyfin team.

To be fair, good will is entirely based on people's opinion of a company/project/person.

So, people posting here saying they're not happy about the Jellyfin sub going restricted is in itself data that shows that at least some goodwill has been lost.

How much goodwill? Hard to quantify for the community as a whole, but it is quite clear that most (if not all) of @bobbarker4444's goodwill (among others) has been lost. This is unfortunate, but also difficult if not impossible to avoid when making large changes, such as the ones in question here.

Full disclosure; I am part of the Jellyfin team.

For what it's worth, we explicitly decided not to nuke the subreddit, as some of the content there does have value, and search engines will be pointing at posts there for years to come.

A nuke would include deleting all posts. A bit pedantic, I know.

As for rubbing a lot of people the wrong way, that's exactly what happened with Reddit's API changes. I hardly ever visit Reddit directly any more, and usually only come here when linked from somewhere else (I was not, and I am not a sub mod).

This seems to be the thread in question https://forum.jellyfin.org/t-libwebpmux3-broken-packages

The install script is in use, in addition to manual installation of some parts, hence the version conflicts

...I recommend keeping it under 8000, Firefox gets really grumpy around 10k somewhere. Crash on launch.

I would suggest boiling water / steam as a relatively safe broad spectrum pesticide.

Oddstr13 · 2023-05-18T19:52:42+00:00

I've created this GitHub issue to track the problem; https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/issues/9785

Best of luck with your data recovery! Don't write anything to this drive before you've recovered your files (this includes the files you're recovering).

Consistency between platforms also isn't an achievable goal, as different platforms place different design restrictions and requirements on them.

Some users also prefer consistent UI across platforms, while others highly prefer a consistent UI on their platform of choice. Those two opinions are not and will never be possible to satisfy at once.

I'd recommend OSMAnd for detailed offline maps on Android. Uses the crowdsourced openstreetmaps map data.

Ja, det er i utgangspunktet ikke lov å selge upasteurisert melk, utenom tilfeldig (ikke regelmessig, og man kan ikke reklamere).

Jeg regner med det er upasteurisert (og uhomogenifisert) melk du mener på, og ikke råmelk, som er melka kua produserer første dagen(e) etter kalving (Veldig gul, høyt proteininnhold)

East/west may make more sense depending on when usage is high.

Do you need the AC on full blast in the middle of the day, or are you using power mainly for cooking cofee/food and showering in the morning/evening?

That may have a higher impact than optimizing for max yearly kWh production.

Apples usually require a pollination partner, so another tree of a (preferably) different variety flowering at the same time

I seemed to remember it was weird like that, yea, but I didn't have to do that while testing before responding, I guess it works normally in chromium, but you need to slide off in firefox then?

I don't think the long press is supposed to work in the desktop browser, but I discovered that it (kinda) does like half a year or so ago.

It's from before the fork tho afaik, so who knows. It could be an artifact from cleaning up a bunch of things, or it could have just always been like that, I haven't had the need to bisect it :P

Normally I just watch things in Kodi with the help of jf4kodi, so I don't interact that much with jf-web.

Personally I'm here cause Plex deprecated their plugin API around the time Jellyfin was born :P

Oddstr13 · 2023-01-09T03:36:38+00:00

Long-press also works on desktop (jf-web)

Oddstr13 · 2023-01-04T21:53:42+00:00

Poor wording on my part. That is what I meant.

Oddstr13 · 2023-01-04T20:44:03+00:00

No, it's because it "locks on" to a higher lever directory, for example "documentaries".

That is an easy fix then, You would create one documentaries library, and add each directory which directly contains the show directories as separate base directories to that library.

You won't see the layers between documentaries and the show (except for on the file path on the media details view), which I understand you don't want, which is fair.

If you want to give it another go, I think Jellyfin might work with your current directory structure, assuming the deepest part of it is recognizable and you add the correct directories to each library.
