Trakt.tv has limited lists to maximum 2 of 100 items and watchlist to 100 items unless you pay $60/year in c/enshittification
[–] shmanio 2 points 3 weeks ago

I agree with you about the API, it seems to be one of the first things to go.

Though, killing it would be expecially dumb in this case, as it is what made trakt famous in the first place. It's really useful to have a scrobbler for every major service, and I use it for a dumb side project.

I'd really like to know what else they think they are adding with their service that is worth $60/year. The data comes from tmdb, the trailers are youtube links, reviews and lists are created by users (when they are allowed to). Sure, they package it all together, but I wouldn't call the website a masterpiece of neither form or function.

I hope that the current backlash will make them (temporarily) revert the change, but this is still a clear signal of the path they are willing to take. I'll be looking for other services.

The blog post in their forums is titled "Freemium Experience: More Features for All".

Also, they quietly doubled the price for VIP accounts in September (used to be $30/y)

It's a path inside the container, but not inside /config. You should mount the file like this:

volumes:
  - /path/to/local/theme.css:/jellyfin/jellyfin-web/theme.css

You should put it in Jellyfin web's root folder (paths are relative to it). In the official container it's /jellyfin/jellyfin-web.

Then you just @import "theme.css";.

Standard theme with custom accent color (gitlab.com)

I've modified the normal Jellyfin theme so that the accent color can be changed.

The idea was to put some orange in the UI during halloween, and I got carried away. It is now completely configurable with a single variable and allows for easy seasonal changes, so I've decided to share it.

Here is the result:

I generally dislike custom themes, so my goal was to change as little as possible. Indeed, if used with a hue of 195, the theme should be exactly the same as the default one.

What do you think?

What's the most obscure cyberpunk movie you've seen? in c/[email protected]
[–] shmanio 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Nobody mentioned it, so it's either really obscure or way too obvious, but: Nirvana (1997).

A game developer finds out that the main character in his next title has become sentient and must save him from endless suffering by deleting all copies of the game shortly before it launches. I saw it many years ago, and really liked it. It hasn't aged perfectly, but all the important cyberpunk bits are there.

It is not different from how the previous shared libraries worked. I guess it's there to stop cheaters from buying a single copy of the game and sharing it with throwaway accounts.

Minimum hardware for a client? (self.jellyfin)

I've found some discussions about hosting the Jellyfin server on lower end devices, but what about the client? I imagine the requirements to be pretty low, since a gen 2 Chromecast worked fine.

Has someone tried setting up a raspberry pi in kiosk mode? Can you suggest something cheap that would be good enough for 1080p?

[Fixed] Jellyfin video stutters on some files (all MKV it seems) in c/selfhosted
[–] shmanio 5 points 1 year ago

It could be an issue with the codecs (browsers are usually pretty limited in what they support). You could try to use a client like Jellyfin Media Player instead. It bundles libmpv, so it plays almost any video format there is.

Chromecast over Tailscale? (self.selfhosted)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by shmanio to c/selfhosted

I have Jellyfin installed on a remote machine, connected to my laptop and phone via Tailscale. Is it possible to cast from that machine to a gen 2 Chromecast?

From the Jellyfin instance installed on my laptop, in the same LAN, I can authenticate from the phone and cast to the Chromecast, so all the pieces work.

I have tried announcing the subnet from the laptop (--advertise-routes=192.168.1.0/24), with IP forwarding etc. The remote machine accepts the route and can ping the Chromecast (192.168.1.100). From the phone I can connect to the server and start casting. The screen shows the Jellyfin logo, but playing anything has no effect.

Has someone managed to make it work?

EDIT: As I feared, it seems it's not possible. I can't change the routing table of my ISP's router, so the Chromecast can't reach the remote server.

I'll try to find a newer Chromecast, or maybe just get a Raspberry and install the full client there. Thanks everyone!

Two new additions to my favorites: Incan Gold and Hellapagos (self.boardgames)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by shmanio to c/[email protected]

Yesterday we've played two new games, and they both were a great success.

  • Incan Gold (or Diamant): push your luck cave explorers. The mechanics are easy to understand by everyone and the game flows very fast. We felt the game really forces you to think about how greedy you can afford to be. We also decided on the houserule of really suspicious explorers: when some go back they split the available gold in each room, instead of considering all that is available in the caves.
  • Hellapagos: cooperative castaways, for a while. This is a bit more complex and requires more focus, but with the right people it can be really funny. Everyone begins with a lot of good intentions, but when the rations start to get low and the hurricane close, curiously everyone starts looking for guns and bullets. This game probably requires a very specific mix of players, as being all cooperators make it boring, but selfish backstabbers can't survive alone.

We played both games with 4 players. For Incan Gold it we think 5/6 would be the best. Hellapagos maybe 6/7, more if you want complete chaos.

Some funny things that happened

  • In Incan Gold, a lucky explorer has been left alone in the cave almost since the beginning, and managed to survive with ~20 gold and 4 idols.
  • In Hellapagos, a castaway played selfishly all the game and in the end boarded the raft by stealing the conch (which made him immune to being voted out) from another player.

The five pieces of the island that can be seen in-game line up perfectly. There also are some unused assets for the shores that complete the image into a seamless map.

I couldn't find the game in the stores near where I live, so I made my own. We played on top of a mountain with little stones for coins.

It can happen to anyone: a friend of a friend joins for the evening and suddenly Catan is not an option.
