I’ve heard rumors that they do play well together, but that’s people running it in docker with a “read-only” flag set for the content folder, with metadata saved in the config folder

I’ve used the Jellyfin app to listen to audio books, but for my purposes, it’s easier to run the separate client/server Audiobookshelf.

Yeah, even Googles own operating system.

I was trying to see if I could sync my entire Calibre ebook library to my kobo, so i googled it. The dumbass AI result told me to hit the “sync library” button, that doesn’t friggin exist…

Dang, I just realized I didn’t explain the setup well enough:

An old laptop runs the Jellyfin server, but the Pi runs the reverse proxy. For some reason, trying to use the reverse proxied address causes problems, but connecting directly to the laptop via IP address and port runs fine.

I tried a Jellyfin server with a pi 2 or 3 and it couldn’t serve more than one client at a time. So i imagine a zero wouldn’t even be able to load the app, much less serve anything :/

My main reason for running my DNS/ad block/nginx through the zero, sometimes the laptop goes down, freezes, or fails to clear the transcodes folder, so having that stuff separate keeps at least part of the network running.

If I trusted the battery tech more, I would use an old phone. But I’ve had one of those white plastic Mac books hooked up to power so long, the battery swelled out of its enclosure :/

Maybe there’s a way to disconnect the battery, or an app that switches off charging, so it drains enough to keep that from happening

Oh nice! I’d love to run an ad blocker/dns/reverse proxy on something with a little more beef than the Pi zero I’ve got now.

Jellyfin and or Pi zero does not like streaming through the video.local address I’ve got setup, so i have to use IP address to get anything without stuttering.

Same.

Bought a Blu-ray burner and “archive grade” disks for third location backups.

I made a list of files that is just a text document (3MB!) that sits on the root of the Blu-ray. There’s probably a better way of doing that, but it works for me.

Thanks, i just had it stuffed!

Literally everyone: …

That’s good to hear about local books. The official app can stream fine, but books tend to freeze and skip when playing an mp3…

Was the iMac a casualty of the “capacitor plague” that happened a few years ago? I revived an old monitor pretty easily from a blown cap

Fuck, I’m this comment…

Do people not understand how files work?

Oh honey, imagine trying to tech-support a family of rednecks. Threaten to charge them for services and they’ll stop pretty quick though…

There’s got to be a better way to do cross posts. When people/bots crosspost, my “All” feed gets cluttered with multiple copies of the same post. Maybe something like a drop-down showing all the instances and communities it’s posted to.

Edited to fix autocorrect…

Good.

The complete and utter lack of a mobile friendly interface is beyond frustrating. No android, i don’t want you to snap zoom to the search bar every fucking time i go to my stacks page!?

I had to fight my old company to purchase Fireworks since it had the absolute best jpeg compression engine. I still miss the “export selection” tool…
