Findroid doesn't support live TV but its downloads are better integrated

It is not official, afaik. Their only official communication presence after the reddit disaster is their own forums.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 10 months ago

It's official. All 3 of us work on Jellyfin. However, I now see we don't have it listed in the Social section of the contact page. I'll get it added.

Can’t tell if it’s official, but there’s this if you’re on Mastodon: https://mastodon.online/@jellyfin

Run by: https://social.bonifacelabs.ca/@anthonylavado (claims to be part of core Jellyfin team)

Not any less buggy than Plex, just buggy in different ways.

...can be used on Hetzner and it's free...

I stepped up to Jellyfin from Navidrome and loving it. It runs all my media formats, from video to comic books, and is even able to use the Pi4 h.264 hardware encoding for live transcoding.

From testing out various media managers dedicated exclusively to music collections, like Navidrome, Ampache, various DLNA servers... Jellyfin is the best music manager I've found. And Jellyfin isn't even a dedicated music manager. Just wow.

I haven't tried to set up music yet, but getting a lot of false lookups on tv episodes even after renaming to the generally agreed file naming format. Still playing with the setup so may get better. Linked it to my kodi on rpi4.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Unfortunate. I've had no issues with auto classifications for the media with proper lookups. It even picks up and correctly looks up files with additions like [w. commentary] and such. I try to make sure every share is properly set up to look up the different directories. Hope you get it to work.

Is it possible to make something like a tv channel that randomly selects a video from one of a few folders?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

If you use Kodi as your Jellyfish front end, yes you can do this with the PseudoLiveTV add-on.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Thanks for the suggestion ill check it out

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I've found the best solution for that is spinning up an ErsatzTV docker instance and add the Live TV channel to Jellyfin. You can customize what gets played to the Live TV channel and I had used it to run a "kids TV" channel at home. The only drawback is I had to shut it down because the transcoding for it was brutal (on a server with no video card). It will convert everything to a standard stream format, and none of my video files would just get served as is.

Thanks for the reply dude, I'll google your suggestions and take a look. Cheers

I check up on it every now and then in the hope it will eventually supports ISOs and cuesheets.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

I’ve been running Jellyfin for a few years now and I love it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Been using Jellyfin for a couple years now and it's been a blast. So satisfying to be able to keep my entire music library in one place and play it from anywhere. Sonixd is what I use for listening on desktop, and Finamp is what I use on mobile.
