Time to get a VPS my friend, and figure out what needs to be hosted at home and on the VPS, and make things sync wherever required, and perfect your VPS with the right distro
Yeah, I used to reconfigure things quite a lot while I was still a student. Now with a dayjob, I’m glad if I can just use my laptop to get actual things done. Having previously figured out a really good setup, is very helpful in getting things done, though.
Lol the roku client for emby was annoying me, so I installed jellyfin just so I could use the jellyfin roku client. Which turns out to also be buggy and annoying. So now I’m running both and I’m tempted to install plex next.
I’m one of the programmers of the Jellyfin Roku client. Would you mind sharing what things you found to be buggy and annoying in the client? We’re always looking for feedback for things to work on and improve.
My main use case is that I watch a lot of tv shows, often while I am in bed going to sleep.
So I want the episodes to be labeled correctly in sequence, like season number and episode number. I want those numbers to be displayed correctly when I navigate episodes. When I pause it’ll stop the app, I want the correct season and episode to show up in the “Continue watching” list. And I want auto play to continue playing the next episode after the current episode completes.
I have found both emby and jellyfin to have issues with the above items.
Currently I’m running both. I find myself moving back to emby more often as it seems to handle the above cases better.
Oh yeah, you’re the person who asked to have the season and episode number added to the OSD. I completed that update and am waiting for the PR to be reviewed and merged.
I can’t say I’ve ever seen any showstoppers for the jellyfin Roku client, but I will say it seems rather inconsistent when using the media options menu after selecting a movie. Sometimes choosing a different video reverts to the default top choice when you hit play. Sometimes the audio selections don’t match up with the chosen video but rather a different video option, meaning any choice is the wrong choice. At one point I even got the client to say that AAC Stereo was both the chosen Video and Audio. It’s really hard to describe and never enough a nuisance to wade through the process of opening an issue.
You won’t believe this, but I’ve actually finished configuring my linux
There are things I believe. This is not one of those things.

Ubuntu vps ftw
Fine
But is your config standards-compliant and linted?
Does it degrade gracefully enough that you can load it on 1980s Unices and what is possible to load will load? Without emitting error messages??
I used to just crastinate but now I’m a pro.
not believing intensifies
I hope you’re on a long LTS release my friend
I use arch btw

I already finished 10 times. And I probably will be doing 10 times again.
Except you count a windows vm with gpu-passthrough then I am still on it.
I run my emby and jellyfin server, my desktop, printer server, plus a bunch of other shit I can’t think of right now.
If any of that shit doesn’t work, I will be annoyed. So I’m certainly not tinkering with it all the time.
you need both of these things? Dont they both do exactly the same thing?

I knew about the audio option not matching if you choose a different video option. In fact, we noted that in our release post: https://jellyfin.org/posts/roku-200#-tv-episode-version-support
The others I’ve not heard of before. If it every becomes a nuisance, please open a ticket so we can investigate.
Ah, I didn’t see that because I haven’t generated types for TV Shows yet. Only movies.
Thank you for the ongoing support!
