linux4noobs@programming.dev•Flow chart for choosing a Linux distributionEnglish
2·1 month agoQuestion: If I say, go with PopOS, does this mean it isn’t optimal for development? Or can you get pretty much get anything to work provided there’s kernel support, this chart is just a matter of working out of the box?

Jellyfin: The Free Software Media System@lemmy.ml•Display Series PosterEnglish
2·2 months agoYou should be able to get to the logs from the dashboard:

If it’s failing to hit the API, you will likely see hundreds or thousands of repeat messages in the logs.
Here is what I use for my Anime library:

1·2 months agoSo, the issue is that the series isn’t being identified correctly? That looks to be the case with The Slime Diaries. I have mine labeled “The Slime Diaries - That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime”. It gets identified correctly.
MP3Tag + MusicBrainz Picard. I use MP3Tag to set the ID3 tags and picard to move them into the folder structure I want.
It takes a couple hours to set everything up, but I can’t rely on Musicbrainz alone because my music has no metadata on Musicbrainz, so I set the tags myself.
Until Then if you like story games.
Just so you know, after you “complete” the game and are returned to the main menu, there’s still a bit of content left, so be sure to continue your save. Though it’s pretty obvious, I still missed it until I started watching a video about the game and realized I wasn’t finished.
SIGNALIS plays similar to Silent Hill, but is more focused on story.
Looks like there are currently four “clubs”. Each club has an album release every month. Are the tracks all released by the same artists (new material) or do they select current tracks on Bandcamp to feature in their monthly list? If it’s the latter, then it’d be closer to humble monthly but it’s DRM-free and you get to keep what was available to you when you were subscribed, even after unsubscribing.
I think my ideal scenario would be a spin-off of this idea, where you pay a monthly fee to select, say, five artists on Bandcamp. For the month you would be able to download all of their content, and the monthly fee is split between the five artists. With this it just seems random, but if you are looking for new content, it may be nice.
I also use Jellyfin. Before being able to set custom tag delimiters, you had to ensure your music artists and album artists ID3 tags were correct. I believe it used a ‘;’ to separate multiple artists. Now with custom delimiters you can set your own. You may be able to try and fix things by setting ‘feat.’ as a custom tag.
Ultimately, I would recommend just using mp3tag and spending a few minutes setting up an action that replaces ‘feat.’ with a delimiter, such as a ‘|’. Run it through your current library and you should be good.

I haven’t tried it, but Metadata Remote is a web-based metadata editor.
Personally, I use MP3Tag with custom actions to set the tags, and MusicBrainz Picard to move files. My music isn’t on MusicBrainz, so I do the tagging myself, which usually doesn’t require too much effort from me.

Jellyfin: The Free Software Media System@lemmy.ml•Audio and subtitle sync issuesEnglish
2·7 months agoI believe this typically happens if transcoding is needed and it can be “fixed” by enabling “Always burn in subtitle when transcoding” in the subtitles options.
Thanks! I thought most people don’t use navidrome if they have multiple users because they can’t create user-specific playlists. Is this not the case? What music features do you find limiting on Jellyfin? Also, how did you get your family to switch off music streaming for your navidrome server?
Could you please explain your use case for Music Assistant if you already have Jellyfin/Plex and Navidrome?

15·10 months agoThis is because lemmy.world defederated, right? So at this point would we recommend people to make a different account on an alternative server? Not a problem for those that have just joined, just delete and make a new account. But have there been any recent developments on migration tools for moving accounts to a new server while preserving account data?

Jellyfin: The Free Software Media System@lemmy.ml•What Desktop Client are you Using?English
1·11 months agoYeah, I’ve started looking into ARC as that looks like what Jellyfin supports the best. Would you mind telling me what ARC you are using and how many simultaneous transcodes you’ve been able to handle? It looks like the Pro A-Series is the best.





So in this case, even if your hardware was impacted by this, if you tried to play a H.265 (HEVC) file within Windows, it would play, but will software encode / decode. What if you are playing something through a client like VLC or Jellyfin Media Player? Prior to this change, would Jellyfin report Direct Playing (using iGPU) and now it will be forced to transcode on the server side, and VLC would still use the CPU for encoding and decoding, since there is no server to do it for you?
