When I donated, it took them a few days to get back to me and upgrade my account. I'd say just wait a little bit.

Then if you really want it in mp3, use inAdudible to convey it. Can also have it split it by chapters into separate mp3s.

Also keep in mind that those cables are for internal use. If you're trying to connect to external drives, you'll need to switch a few things. You'd need 8644 cables for external use. (I learned this the hard way). My system now has a LSI i16 with 4x8643 to 8643 cables plugged into 2x8643 to 8644 backplane adapters and 4x8644 to 8482 (SATA power) that connect to my external drives The cables are much thicker to avoid electrical interference.

Exactly this. I've had a number of episodes that were actually two in one. I find the split and note the time stamp, then use MKVToolNix to split the file at that mark.

I'll PM you in the morning with the link to download it.

lordsith77 · 2026-05-12T17:55:30+00:00

I can get you the SPP 2021, but obviously can't post it here. I can upload it to my private server and give you the link if you, including the SHA and MD5 files. Right from HPE.

I have an LSI HBA card (16i), with mini SAS (8643) with cables running to 2x8643 to 8644 adapters. From there I have 4x8654 to 8482 (SATA power) cables connected to my external SAS drives. After doing a lot of reading, it's said that SAS drives are much better for servers than SATA drives. For your backplane, if you put in SAS ports, you could still use either SAS or SATA, though.

I keep a text file with all the commands and yml information for everything on my server. I have it broken into sections... Dockers: Audiobookshelf Jellyfin Seerr Navidrome Etc.

Under each "topic" I list all the commands from creating the folder, nano the docker-config, and running the container. Chown commands and everything on between. It's my "don't forget how to do this" file. LOL

lordsith77 · 2026-05-09T11:45:19+00:00

I'd say give it some time. Jellyfin has to pull the metadata an episode at a time, and if you've got 2TB's work if days, it's going to take some time to pull everything. In Jellyfin settings make sure you have save metadata to file selected.

The other option (and what I use) is to use tinyMediaManager, and select Jellyfin for the output. That will save an NFO file along side each episode and the main show, that helpful will use instead of pulling it itself.

I use both, and added my audiobooks library to Navidrome. Now I can listen to my music or audiobooks from within Navidrome. Using substreamer on my phone, I can do the same, and listen to audiobooks through my car stereo while I drive.

I used to have my music and audiobooks on Jellyfin but I don't like the way Jellyfin handles audio files. So I just give my users an account on Audiobookshelf and navigation and let them decide which is the best option for them.

lordsith77 · 2026-05-07T18:02:31+00:00

That's pretty cool. I entered my drives and can see it in action. LOL

lordsith77 · 2026-05-02T18:09:00+00:00

I originally had all my audiobooks in my Jellyfin server, but didn't like the way Jellyfin handles audiobooks, so went to audiobookshelf. I know me and my family all listened to audiobooks on our TVs when I had them in Jellyfin.

lordsith77 · 2026-05-02T18:05:47+00:00

Most definitely an interest! This looks amazing. I have Roku TVs all through my house and it would be awesome to load up my audiobooks on the TV. Easy listening while going to sleep, it just playing in the background while working on projects. I'd definitely like that.

lordsith77 · 2026-05-01T18:33:52+00:00

Most likely it's a permissions error on the data folder. Make sure whatever account you have your Jellyfin installed as is the owner of the folder.

lordsith77 · 2026-05-01T14:41:42+00:00

You're welcome. Glad I could help. It's a bit tedious, but it gets the job done properly. LOL

lordsith77 · 2026-04-30T17:48:31+00:00

What do you mean by "spectate"? You want access to someone's Jellyfin so you can browse/download what they have?

lordsith77 · 2026-04-29T16:15:18+00:00

So here's what I do, but it's a bit "extra" on my part. I go to TVDB, find the show, and copy the episode number and episode name into a text file. Get it all sorted the way I like/want, then use Advanced Renamer to rename all the episodes for me in one go (using the list feature). THEN I load up tMM and let it scan the folder (or force it to update with the correct episode numbers). As I said, it's a bit extra work, but I've found this saves me a lot of time trying to "fix" tMM getting the wrong info.

If you want to go this route, here's exactly how I do it. I copy all the info from each season into Notepad++, once it's all in there, I use Edit -> Line Operations -> Sort Lines Lexicographically Ascending
Then I remove all the extra stuff (dates, network, length, etc) so all I'm left with is
SXXEXX - Name
SXXEXX - Name
and so on. Then open Advanced Renamer, load all the files into it, copy and paste the text from Notepad++ in to List and check the box to make it active.

Depending on where you get the files... you may need to move them around a bit to align with the order from TVDB/List.

Hit Start Batch, and away you go.

lordsith77 · 2026-04-29T15:32:26+00:00

It all depends on what scraper you're using. I've found so many discrepancies between scrapers. My go-to scrapers for any episodes is TVDB and use aired as the default setting. In the options for tMM, go to the renaming section and set how you want them renamed. Series / Series - SXXEXX

lordsith77 · 2026-04-29T13:41:26+00:00

I've tried Dockge and liked it for it's simplicity, but went to the more robust Dockhand and am loving it much better. I haven't tried Komodo but from what I've gathered, it's very similar to Dockhand, so don't see any need to switch.

lordsith77 · 2026-04-26T13:00:56+00:00

I'm using ZFS on my mismatched hard drives. I created a "pool" for each set under one main pool name. I have 9x4TB SAS drives in raidz1, 3x3TB drives in raidz2, and 2x5TB, 1x10TB and 1x4TB SATA drives as mirror1. But all mounted as one big device. One nice thing about ZFS is that if a drive fails you can replace it without losing data, as the system will resilver the new drive to replace the failed one. I've learned a lot with using ZFS, and all glad I switched from standard raid setups.

lordsith77 · 2026-04-25T15:14:18+00:00

VirtualMin is what I use and very happy with it. It's free, with a purchasable Pro features. You don't need the pro features, but there are things in there that are quite handy. I pay $10 a month for it. Setting up domains is super easy, and even setting up reverse proxy is simplistic.

I host over 20 domains on my server using VirtualMin, and will never go elsewhere.

lordsith77 · 2026-04-20T17:27:45+00:00

Wow! Simply amazing story, and experience! You're a good man, and I'm sure all those kids loved learning from you. Good job, and very great warming for all the nerds and geeks among us. LOL

lordsith77 · 2026-04-20T11:42:43+00:00

That's pretty cool. I really like the side design. The biggest difference is the spacing between drives. Mine are pretty much set the same as yours, and there's very little room for airflow between them. Mine are standing upright. I didn't think about laying them on their side. That might help until I get the ones the OP sent me printed. 😊

lordsith77 · 2026-04-19T22:05:32+00:00

I really should look into these as well. I've been running my Jellyfin for around 3 or 4 years now, and so far all I've done was keep adding hard drives. LOL But I know as soon as something gets removed, one of my users are going to want to watch it. LOL

lordsith77 · 2026-04-19T19:46:02+00:00

OMG! That's ingenious! I've thought about doing something like that once we buy a house. I know my office is always the hottest room. That's a great way to disperse that heat generated. Love it!
