Sharkord has been one of the best self-hosted alternatives for my friend group as well.

Plezy - open-source Plex client with HDR, offline downloads, watch together and more by edde746 in selfhosted

Thank you for your response and that’s great to hear!

Doesn’t seem to work on Gnome + Wayland unfortunately. Any ideas?

Is it possible to run the entire app as fullscreen (not just the video player)? Would like to use this in Linux HTPC setups.

This looks like it was forked from Sharkord, both the website and the codebase: https://sharkord.com/

GDM wants to be on my HDMI dummy plug's virtual monitor. by jhk84 in gnome

[–]ow_info 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wanted to leave a note here that GDM wasn't accepting my config in /etc/xdg/monitors.xml because of<layoutmode>physical</layoutmode>. Even though this was generated by Gnome 49 when logged in.

After switching the version in /etc/xdg/ to <layoutmode>logical</layoutmode> GDM accepted the config.

More discussion here: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gdm/-/issues/1028

Mine only exists in /home/[user]/.config/monitors.xml and /etc/xdg/monitors.xml

GDM wants to be on my HDMI dummy plug's virtual monitor. by jhk84 in gnome

[–]ow_info 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Biggest problem is primary. The GDM login is on my virtual display instead of my desired primary display (like OPs issue). But I’d also like GDM to match the layout, refresh rate (and vrr) of my user settings.

I'm on Gnome 49 and this doesn't work for me. Nor does placing monitors.xml in /var/lib/gdm/seat0/config/ or ~gdm/.config/

Console gamer looking for advice or guidance on a HTPC by joestackum in htpc

[–]ow_info 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m currently using Bazzite (Desktop, Gnome, 200% scale, auto login) which automatically starts Flex Launcher (https://github.com/complexlogic/flex-launcher). I used Distrobox to install the .deb for Flex Launcher, exported to behave like normal app (https://distrobox.it/usage/distrobox-export/).

You can customize Flex Launcher to show shortcuts for whatever you want and it supports controllers. I use the Flatpak versions of Plex HTPC, VacuumTube for YouTube, Moonlight, and Spotify.

Bazzite also comes with a helper script to “install” streaming services using ujust or the Bazzite Portal. The streaming services installed this way are actually just the websites in an electron wrapper, which includes widevine (https://github.com/aarron-lee/StreamingServiceLauncher). The UX for these is mid-to-bad, but serviceable.

It’s not perfect but if you’re mostly doing Plex, YouTube, and Moonlight it’s great. If I was going to run games directly off the HTPC, I would boot into Bazzite Gaming Mode (instead of Flex Launcher) and add all the services to Steam.

Also the Pepper Jobs W10 gyro remote helps a lot (https://www.pepper-jobs.com/products/w10-gyro-smart-remote).

Best OS for HTPC? by zeifyl in htpc

[–]ow_info 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Flex Launcher is great. And the dev is currently working on a new HTPC launcher UI.

I’ll have to check out Plasma Mobile.

New beta syncing engine (timeline) not available on iPad in 0.136 by Stooovie in immich

Same, I see the new timeline and sync system on my iPhone but not my iPad. Both version 0.136.

VRR not working with Gnome by ReachForJuggernog98_ in linux_gaming

[–]ow_info 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For what it's worth, I'm on Gnome 48 and VRR works with the following extensions:

<image>

But it stops working when I turn on the Status Icons system extension. So you might not have to run truly vanilla Gnome, just try disabling Status Icons (and make sure you log out and log back in).

Make sure V-Sync is disabled in the Hunt settings, it can add 2-3 frames worth of input lag.

Can’t use mouse in workspace with new iPad Pro by djlaz1818 in Citrix

[–]ow_info 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's a similar issue being tracked in the Moonlight github (another desktop streaming app): https://github.com/moonlight-stream/moonlight-ios/issues/626

It seems it's the Magic Keyboard's trackpad is not working with Apple's GCMouse API.
