I created this project some years back and the project just reached v1.1.0. I know most people have jellyfin servers and all set up, but if you have just a local folder of all your series saved up, you can use this to remember what you were watching.
All feedback is welcome. You can also contribute to the project
Thank you for helping me, I’m still having issues though. Now it is with openssl which I have confirmed that I have installed. Sorry Im sending a wall of text below but I wanted to include the full error message. Once again thank you for your help.
error: failed to run custom build command for openssl-sys v0.9.102
PKG_CONFIG_ALLOW_SYSTEM_CFLAGS=1 pkg-config --libs --cflags openssl The system library openssl required by crate openssl-sys was not found. The file openssl.pc needs to be installed and the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable must contain its parent directory. The PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable is not set. HINT: if you have installed the library, try setting PKG_CONFIG_PATH to the directory containing openssl.pc. — stderr thread ‘main’ panicked at /home/et/.cargo/registry/src/index.crates.io-6f17d22bba15001f/openssl-sys-0.9.102/build/find_normal.rs:190:5: Could not find directory of OpenSSL installation, and this -sys crate cannot proceed without this knowledge. If OpenSSL is installed and this crate had trouble finding it, you can set the OPENSSL_DIR environment variable for the compilation process. Make sure you also have the development packages of openssl installed. For example, libssl-dev on Ubuntu or openssl-devel on Fedora.

It fixed that issue but now there is a new one here is the error message that I am getting now. The message is so long that I have to put it on paste bin bin.disroot.org/?8c1747a08e3ce021#2i5ZpnjAjUrHQVr…, but here is the start and end of the error message below.

Did you install cargo using rustup? Or did you use the system package manager. Using rustup is the preferred method.
PS I don’t have my dev machine with me a this moment. But as I can see many people have so many installation issues, I will try to create a flatpak for the application. I will post soon
This looks promising. I keep some media on an external, encrypted ssd when I travel and just been relying on making a note of the episode and using haruna’s playback time feature.
This looks great! Only thing id say to add is instead of just watch random episode, watch random show/movie but if its a show continue where you left off.
If you ever plan on adding a watch with friends feature you might be interested in Multiplex which lets you stream media with your friends and have the play/pause sync up github.com/pojntfx/multiplex
Is there a season 2 coming? I hadn’t heard! I’m pretty sure I’m behind, I’ve only seen up to the first movie that came out after the series. I’ve never watched a series that throws so many gut punches lol
After the movie there is an entire season. And a season 3 is coming soon. I suggest you re-watch from the start. Wouldn’t want to miss out on little kids suffering /s. But honestly it is a very beautiful anime.
Kodi (kodi.tv) does the same thing & more. People think of it as a sort of streamer but its original/main purpose is to manage local media downloads including movie/tv series.
I have jellyfin all set up on a media server so this won’t do much for me. That said, this is pretty slick looking and has a good use case. If I’d not been aiming to share with my long distance girlfriend I’d probably have opted for this kind of thing. Nice work op!
My jellyfin server is literally just a raspberry Pi 5 with an external 5 terabyte HDD. The hardware isn’t so bad price wise. If you do build something for and want more testing feel free to hit me up and I’ll play with it
Honestly, I wouldn’t try to develop this for network sharing. That would make it encroach a lot on the territory of dedicated server software like jellyfin which most likely has a lot more development power behind it.
I am building this mainly for my personal use. Plus most of dedicated software tries to pander to a large audience incuring bloat. Hence I am not adding networking features now. But I really love my software and if I set up over the network media servers I will update this to that. It’s ultimately my code and as you can see by the lack of other people contributing and the software not being that massively popular I don’t think anybody will mind.
