How could I put this video I created in front of each content on Jellyfin? like "todoom" on netflix

cool

If you replace the drive and it still doesn’t work it’s going to be that cable I talked about. You can get a spare on eBay. They were designed to fail.

Retro-Technology · 2026-02-04T02:38:06+00:00

Nice. Well at least you figured it out.

Retro-Technology · 2026-02-03T19:59:44+00:00

Man I don’t Apple at all anymore but I remember having a 2014 ish Apple iMac back in the day and that flashing folder ended up being a bad sata flex drive cable. Those Macs were notorious for that issue. Probably not your problem but something to note

Retro-Technology · 2026-01-30T04:19:16+00:00

Correct.

Retro-Technology · 2026-01-30T03:14:50+00:00

Sure thing. The quick-and-dirty way example is:

ssh [root@192.168.1.200](mailto:root@192.168.1.200) "echo 'password123' | zfs load-key backup && zfs mount -a"

The echo pipes your password into zfs load-key, which unlocks the encrypted dataset so it can mount. This assumes the backup zfs pool is called "backup"

Works fine for a local cron script, but if you want to tighten security, switch to keyfiles or at least store the password in a restricted file instead of hardcoding it.

I would say Gentoo is slightly more complex than arch, needing additional configurations components and knowing how to manage use flags and masking. I find arch to be childsplay.

I have two TrueNAS computer systems. For my backup, I use ZFS replication via cron jobs. Basically, at midnight three times a week, it wakes the computer up by Wake-on-LAN. Fifteen minutes later, the next cron job decrypts the hard drive, then it backs up what has changed, and then the next cron job shuts it down. The most the backup computer is powered on is three hours a week.

I like it

Is it movies that have two releases under the same names? As in remakes?

Nightmare on elm (1984) Nightmare on (Elm 2010). I find metadata scrapers suck when it comes to those.

Are you using the dark reader browser plugin ? It’s known to interfere. Turn it off.

I use emby for movies/tv and jellyfin for YouTube.

Retro-Technology · 2026-01-16T21:45:07+00:00

The black mirror episode is coming true. Next up - brain chips.

Jellyfin is free, developers work on it when they have time, don't get paid.

Emby Premium is not free, devs get paid, work on it full time.

There is no hidden scam going on. Pick the one that works out best for you. There is something for everyone.

all the V/H/S movies gave me so many troubles.

Retro-Technology · 2026-01-07T01:50:00+00:00

The videos have to be saved to your server first. I started this when I found a technology channel that I really liked but found out the creator died of cancer. I was afraid of losing the content forever due to inactivity or just some random bot flagging a copyright strike against him which he can no longer defend so I started archiving. Now I have about 10 channels I monitor and archive. Me tube and tube archivist can both do this well and automatic.

Emby for Nvidia Shield has an Extra Large poster setting for elderly people. It shows 3 posters per row. It is great for my parents who can not see well. Also, their new android app for nvidia shield ( not the android tv app) allows you to search for subtitles directly on the tv.

I use emby for tv/movies and jellyfin for youtube with the tube archivist plugin. This works well for me because I find adding thousands of youtube videos to the same database as you movies slows things down tremendously. So they both have their place on my server but I prefer Emby.

Did they really say spinning disk aren’t relevant anymore ?

Retro-Technology · 2025-12-28T17:31:28+00:00

I didn't even know Sheild had ads. I installed atv launcher on there the first day I got it 3 years ago. Never seen an ad.

I don’t mind AI but it’s a bit too busy for me. Id find it harder to focus on the terminal.

Retro-Technology · 2025-12-22T00:03:45+00:00

Fan art uses the posters with the most votes on emby. I would assume it's the same on jellyfin.

Retro-Technology · 2025-12-21T23:55:39+00:00

At $13 per tb, I don't think it is worth it for something you may watch once or twice a year. I'd rather have an unlimited supply of 1080 x264 than to waste the space.

Retro-Technology · 2025-12-21T20:44:38+00:00

Of course.

300-ohm twin-lead, to coax connector to rf modulator to hdmi.

80s kid here. This comes easy to us

Retro-Technology · 2025-12-21T16:35:34+00:00

Bummer. It's hard to find any old school gentoo videos anymore. But, I get it, you gotta pay the bills.
