I have 1 #roku in the bedroom that is getting terrible performance with #jellyfin all of a sudden. I can’t stream 1080p media but 480p barely works. WiFi shows good experience/signal, and all other devices in the house work perfectly; I can’t figure out what’s wrong.
Debating on doing a full reset and starting it over from scratch. Wish I could find a used Apple TV with Ethernet….
Did a factory reset and things seem to be better. I did a network test on the Roku and it was getting 3-4Mbps, granted it's 2.4Ghz band only. After the reset, I'm up to 13Mbps and #jellyfin seems to act better.
I compared the screen reader #accessibility of #Emby, #Jellyfin, and #Plex, and sadly Plex is way ahead of both Jellyfin and Emby. Not surprising that both are below average because Emby is really just a fork of Jellyfin, but regardless, I guess I'll be sticking with Plex for the foreseeable future.
Back to the grind today. Besides normal work crap, I’m studying for the #azure SC-300. Also, I’m testing to see why #jellyfin is having a hard time transcoding files lately all of a sudden.
This is a patch release focused on fixing bugs found in the 2.0.0 release. A lot of subtitle work and changes to make video playback on Roku 4 devices work again.
Uninstalling #Jellyfin for the final time. Tried my best to like it, alongside #Plex, but it's just so horrible-looking, dysfunctional with absolutely no incentive for me to switch. The client apps for it look abysmal by comparison with Plex (and no, I'm not even using Plex Pass, just the free version) The AppleTV app in particular is janky as hell, the poster icons mode for shows literally overlap the titles of each show like the CSS is broken or something. Plex client is easy to install and set up, good looking and simply works.
Far as I'm concerned, IF and when that happens I'll reconsider. For right now it's way more polished than JF and simply works better for this household and its five TVs.
@dhrystone There are a number of reasons people are annoyed
Activity sharing, which was inexplicably opt out. (may have changed) you couldn’t authenticate without web access. Addition of games?! Streaming moved away from the core of what the user base wanted.
I’ve self hosted for years. Started with XBMC/Kodi, PleXBMC, Plex, Emby and now I’m happy with #Jellyfin.
But if Plex works perfectly for you, I’ve no idea why you’re so keen on switching anyway. Perfect software is rare.
I've been playing around with #jellyfin for music #streaming and it works great. A big miss however is the lack of support for .m3u playlist files. Apparently, Jellyfin can neither read these files and add the tracks they list to the play queue, nor can it "import" them and create its own corresponding playlist files (.xml). Am I missing something? Is there a plugin to enable this functionality?
Is there anyone who uses a hardware #hifi component to #stream#music files from a #server or #nas in your network (using protocols like #smb or #upnp#dlna) to your amplifier? If so, what are you using and what are you experiences? I would like to have a chat about this matter and it would be nice to make an overview of different solutions with exact features (and bugs!) because this information is almost impossible to find. #streaming
I'm a noob trying to grok how to make #HomeAssistant (as the domestic music player) and #Nextcloud (as the music server) play nicely together on an old PC running #Yunohost.
I have yet to figure out how to direct home assistant to a folder on nextcloud for it's music, but there's probably a way, as home assistant can recognise my nextcloud server as a device. they both have a nice GUI, and nextcloud has easy GUI file uploading, so it should be an easy system for me to use even if I come back to it in a few years wanting to adjust it.
Even Yunohost has a (web portal) GUI.
Oh I also need my home assistant server to recognise the soundcard.
(Home assistant can also recognise #DLNA and #jellyfin servers, and Yunohost has jellyfin and miniDLNA in it's app store so these are probably plan B & plan C)
We have solved the issue of not getting any local tv stations where we live in #AppalachianOhio
We are going to setup an antenna and my TV tuner cards at my brother's house 100 miles away. He lives in 3 TV markets. He has fiber internet.
We will setup #NextPVR there & I'll import the TV streams into my local #jellyfin
Then, we can tell Charter Spectrum bye bye. Our minimal TV package has tripled since 2019 in price, and we only use it for locals, and they ended support for CableCards.
This is definitely a client based issue. Subtitles were crap on my TV, but if I view it on my iPhone via Swiftfin then there’s no issue. Oh well. 🤷🏻♂️
The generation of subtitles on #Jellyfin is so shit. I’m trying to watch #AQuietPlace2 with subtitles for sign language and they’re barely legible. They just look pixelated and setting them to have a background just doesn’t seem to work. 🤔
@cantences idles at about 10% of the CPU, the only issues crop up when sone app starts a CPU intensive task. #jellyfin for example uses all the CPU power when it needs to do anything (probably impossible to have more than 3 users watching simultaneously), and transcoding is too laggy. Otherwise, I have a case with good passive cooling so it doesnt even make that much noise
Tunneled #Jellyfin through my ISP's CGNAT, and did some #Traefik magic on the other end to give it a URL. Then sprinkled some #Fail2Ban in there for good measure.
