I rate it a 10.10.0 out of 10.

[-] picnic@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 3 days ago

I really like JF.

My biggest issue with it is that subtitles appear to be messed up timing wise upon continuing playback and its impossible to reset.

But other than that, I like it a lot. Thanks JF team!

Interesting, I haven't had issues with subtitles. Lately, I haven't been getting any subtitles.

[-] LeFantome@programming.dev 54 points 4 days ago

Jellyfin has been rock solid for me, especially since the move to .NET 8. Looking forward to this release.

[-] Alfaspyke@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

I just recently converted from kodi to jellyfin after a Nas hardware crash. I run the server in a docker container on my Nas and the client on a Nvidia shield. Works great, but there is one niggle I haven't figured out and had much better experience on kodi. Subtitles.

I can't seem to find any adjustments for the subtitles in case they don't fit the video completely. There is no menu I have found that allows for adjusting the timing of subtitles.

How are you all coping with this? I use the arr stack and get subtitles through bazarr.

How do you all handle these things?

[-] domi@lemmy.secnd.me 6 points 3 days ago

Probably a bad time to suggest the Jellyfin for Kodi plugin (since they removed the network paths in this version) but it's what I use for my main playback device.

All the goodies of playback via Kodi but play state and metadata gets synced from Jellyfin.

Another option of course would be to open the file(s) in MKVToolNix to add and correct the subtitle offset there.

[-] damo_omad@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Is that the native paths method they removed? I never used it and didn't understand the reason for it, but I'm guessing its useful for some users?

[-] domi@lemmy.secnd.me 1 points 2 days ago

Yep. Kodi slows down significantly if you have a large library and play through the addon. Native paths fixed that issue by playing directly from a network share instead.

[-] Flying_Hellfish@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

Are you using subtitle sync in bazarr? I don't use jellyfin, but have found that bazarr has fixed most of my subtitles that were not in sync just by enabling the option. I think it's CPU intensive though, so don't do the whole library at once.

I see Jellyfin, I insta upvote

[-] Dragonish@lemmy.dbzer0.com 23 points 4 days ago

I am loving the new release cadence!

[-] M600@lemmy.world 17 points 4 days ago

I just setup Jellyfin on docker the other day for the first time.

It just occurred to me that I don’t know how to update docker.

Any advice?

[-] dangling_cat@lemmy.blahaj.zone 25 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Check out Watchtower! Auto-update your containers. Don’t forget to set WATCHTOWER_CLEANUP to true, or your disk will be filled with old images.

[-] butter@midwest.social 4 points 3 days ago

I couldn't figure out watchtower. I just made a script to pull and restart and scheduled it to run daily at midnight.

Did you use docker compose file or just run a command to start the container?

Edit: I always use compose files. For that you can do the following:

docker compose pull
docker compose down
docker compose up -d

You don't technically need the stop, but I've found once or twice in the past where it was good to stop because of image dependencies that I forgot to put in my compose.

For running a command directly I found this website that seems to summarize it pretty well I think:

You could use a systemd unit file:

[Unit]
Description=docker_compose_systemd-sonarr
After=docker.service 
Requires=docker.service

[Service]
TimeoutStartSec=0

WorkingDirectory=/var/lib/sonarr

ExecStartPre=-/usr/bin/docker compose kill --remove-orphans
ExecStartPre=-/usr/bin/docker compose down --remove-orphans
ExecStartPre=-/usr/bin/docker compose rm -f -s -v
ExecStartPre=-/usr/bin/docker compose pull
ExecStart=/usr/bin/docker compose up

Restart=always
RestartSec=30

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

You'd place your compose file in the working dir /var/lib/sonarr. Depending on what tag you've set for the image in the compose file, it would be autoupdated, or stay fixed. E.g. lscr.io/linuxserver/sonarr:latest would get autoupdated whereas lscr.io/linuxserver/sonarr:4.0.10 would keep the container at version 4.0.10. If you want to update from 4.0.10, you'd have to change it in the compose file.

Many major enhancements to transcoding and playback, including support for software tonemapping of HDR10, HLG and DoVi, preliminary support for DoVi Profile 10, support for Dolby AC-4 audio, more stereo downmixing algorithms, QSV device selection, and more! Our FFmpeg is also now based off the upstream FFmpeg 7.0 release for additional features and improvements there.

Does that mean no grey mess anymore when playing HDR files?

[-] DaGeek247@fedia.io 14 points 4 days ago

Shame about the network location regression. That's the only thing that keeps my kodi device from taking 5-15 seconds to load each sub menu.

[-] iturnedintoanewt@lemm.ee 6 points 4 days ago

What's this about? I didn't hear anything about it.

[-] DaGeek247@fedia.io 7 points 3 days ago

Network paths in libraries have been fully removed and will no longer work. This functionality has been deprecated for a long time, and most of it was removed in 10.9.0, but this removes the remainder. See PR #12446. Third-party clients relying on this functionality should be able to re-implement it as required.

from the article.

[-] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 4 points 3 days ago

Last time I updated I had to set all my user accounts again :(

[-] mub@lemmy.ml 7 points 3 days ago

I liked Jellyfin when I tested it last year but it had 3 show stoppers for me.

  1. Samsung app was flakey and had to be side loaded.
  2. Each profile had to use a password and had a full keyboard to enter. Needs a no password option, and a pin pad option.
  3. Not everything played successfully.

Have any of these things been fixed?

[-] Bronzie@sh.itjust.works 18 points 3 days ago

1: The official Android app didn’t work?
That’s strange as I run it on a Samsung and Pixel straight from the PlayStore. What were your problems?

2: This is not required as long as the profile is set up wthout a password.

3: This depends on the client and codecs supported by it. Newer phones support most, or is able to transcode. Weaker/older units are not.

[-] herrvogel@lemmy.world 16 points 3 days ago

They're probably talking about Samsung TVs, not their android phones/tablets. Installing jellyfin on those things can be a chore. My experience with LG was similar. The official build was out of date and riddled with issues that didn't exist on other versions. It refused to play videos that worked well enough on other devices, transcode or no.

[-] Bronzie@sh.itjust.works 8 points 3 days ago

That thought didn’t cross my mind, and you must be right.

I’d say go for a streamer of some sort as a solution. Not had many issues on the CCWGTV.

[-] mub@lemmy.ml 5 points 3 days ago

Yeah tizen based TV. So no android apps.

[-] caseyweederman@lemmy.ca 7 points 3 days ago

Speaking to #2, I'm surprised since I always use the "sign in from another device" feature, where I punch some numbers into the app on my phone and it signs me into the tv.
That said, the tv is running the desktop app.

[-] mub@lemmy.ml 5 points 3 days ago

Not seen that option, it.might be useful. However, If I move from Plex it needs to be familiar to everyone else in the house. Retraining them is tricky.

[-] ShortN0te@lemmy.ml 6 points 3 days ago
  1. Not sure what you mean by that. Jellyfin has had an up to date version in the play store for years.
  2. Yes every Profile is separated into its own account, that's by design and will most likely never change. An easy PIN option in the local network existed for years. Now you can even login with your phone app by entering a displayed PIN.
  3. I remember very few media that i had issues with in the past. Depending on the transcode hardware you have some things can be tricky

Echoing @Bronzie@sh.itjust.works, I downloaded the first party app right from the Play Store on my Samsung. Though I prefer the third party, Findroid, the first party app is good for the dashboard management.

When we launch Jellyfin, we are shown icons for what user, we select the user, and it opens the associated library. Similar to Netflix.

I started using Jellyfin about two years ago now, and have only encountered a codec issue here and there, but I've found it can be worked around by setting playback to another player, like VLC.

Intro-skipping is build-in now? Did I get this right? I thought they decided against it?

[-] Xariq@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 3 days ago

It isn't built in to JF; they just added a framework that makes the process easier. You'll still have to use a plugin to skip intros.

[-] jlow@beehaw.org 1 points 2 days ago

Ah, ok. Very nice!

[-] Zeke@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

goal to remove 32-bit ARM support in 10.11.0

I'm still running jellyfin on a rPI 2, performance is not great but not too bad either. Maybe it could be an excuse to finally upgrade my hardware.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
