i also have a spotify premium account so that can’t be the issue.

Well - happy for you that it works as you want it to. I might give it another shot, maybe i had a bad installation or a flaky version

I’ve also stumbled upon Spotizerr but i’ve had so much problems with it. Usually only getting around 75% of my playlists synced.

I now use onthespot and manually download my playlists once a week. Onthespot also saves a .m3u8 playlist file with absolute paths of the saved music. That way i can just chuck those playlists straigh into my jellyfin and be done.

onthespot needs some tweaking to get it working right. Usually wait 15 seconds between downloads and after around 100 downloaded songs it starts to fail every other song.

I just let it run through and the start the download process for the whole playlist again - it skips all already existing ones and after two or three runs i have everything updated again.

Nah sorry 🫤

1. Learning the moves of a monster you have to fight helps immensely.

Either get bodied a few times and take notice of their moves, or watch videos of fights against any given monster.

2. Adjusting your weapons and armor for the monsters resistances and vulnerabilities.

I run audiobookshelf and it’s amazing!

So glad i switched to jellyfin half a year ago

Maybe the IP address changes? You should provide some more info.

Terminal outputs etc

Yup, mine aswell

I really do love this newsletter

It’s chrism

Also i find that the speed of scanning, getting metadata, accuracy of linking metadata and files, the whole music section is lacking on jellyfin comparing to Plex

Still I prefer jellyfin as its free and open source and it does what I want it to do. But in my experience Plex did all of this way better, faster, more accurately and reliable… And jellyfin music category is outright unusable compared to plex

I am talking solely about the server side, not the player side.

Obviously a good functioning player will not need hw accellerated transcoding or hdr conversion. But sometimes that’s simply neither possible or feasable. Some hardware simply cannot properly transcode all formats, or don’t allow for installation of a player that can do that. Sometimes i watch a movie on my laptop while being connected to my phone mobile hotspot and using wireguard to phone home, i don’t want to direct stream a full movie in hdr and 1080p 40mbit/s… i want the server to transcode it properly.

So to conclude - i am talking about serverside, not playerside - stop assuming the person you are talking with doesn’t know what they do simply because you think you know better.

No i am not talking about the player as hw accell and hdr conversion runs on the server itself

The server is not bulletproof and in my experience plex ran better for me than jellyfin.

I have to say, Plex is a much more polished and more reliable piece of software in my experience.

I’ve used Plex for a couple of years and even got myself a lifetime premium pass when it was 65% reduced or something. But when news started popping up about them potentially leaking what content you watch i burned that bridge (look at the instance i come from, you can guess where my content stems from :D)

I then migrated over to jellyfin. It’s not as polished, it doesn’t run that reliable for me as plex did, hw accell, hdr convertion didn’t setup as easy but after a lot of tinkering it now works very fine for me.

I really enjoy jellyfin and the ecosystem that evolved around it.

I switched from Plex to jellyfin solely for that reason

Also hw accell being free in jelly aswell

Hyprland on my desktop

GNOME on my laptop

Interesting!

I’ll try it out

I helped some guy to make this run on linux

https://github.com/farique1/diffusion-browser

It’s very hacky and doesnt cache previous results but it works…

Yeah but as far as i know, unraid doesn’t really do anything that for example TrueNAS Scale can’t do? And TrueNAS is free and really rock-solid.

So if someone doesn’t want to host an Ubuntu Server i’d recommend checking out TrueNAS Scale and simply throwing some dockers at it

I never used unraid but was thinking about it

I went to truenas for my NAS and Ubuntu server for my application server instead. I use dockge for my docker webui and I’m happy with that setup
