oh! thank you! this is the answer :(

though… it kinda makes me want to buy a cheepie intel card just to get that sweet, sweet AV1

not OP, but this has reared its ugly face once or twice with my friends.

i have been running into another issue, though it may be a firefox issue: playing some filetypes fail to play on web browser but work fine on jellyfin app (i believe my settings are correct for hardware decode on server where it can)

i still have to put some time into figuring it out tho (havent really done my research yet)

im honestly surprised my OS is lumped into Other. i would have assumed there were more people on Fedora

as someone who just got told to not post there ever again (i was not being mean, i was adding to community discussion), describing this community as “inclusive” is a bit of a misnomer.

i havent been able to find one. i have specific storage amounts in mind, so i search for my storage amount then sort by cheapest.

okay, i went at it for a few hours and got the ux to something minimally acceptable to me; however, the wife disagrees. the same pain points for me are hers, as well.

i am not sure if this can be modified, but if so then i havent figured out how to resolve it. i have tried out a few skins, but i have changed to arctic zephyr to make sure the language i am using translates correctly.

the biggest issue we currently have with UX is selecting a show/movie to watch. the multi-step process just to get into a poster list is something i am looking to curtail. the following examples are how i can browse movies by genre to select/play a movie

on android TV’s jellyfin app:

1. open jellyfin app
2. select movies
3. all movies are listed here as posters, select browse by genre
4. movies are shown as posters in paginated rows to select under each genre and can be selected to play

on Kodi jellycon app:

1. select videos
2. select video addons
3. select jellycon app
4. select jellyfin libraries
5. select movies folder
6. select genres (no posters yet, and i dont even use 4-5 of these subfolders)
7. choose a genre.
8. select a movie

i believe i can reduce the steps count by 1 or two on kodi by booting to the videos or videos>addons menu, but in the current steps there is selectable content in androidtv>jellyfin app on step 2. in kodi>jellycon, selectable content doesnt appear until step 8.

the steps to get here are still wife-unacceptable. it feels too much like using a computer to her instead of sitting down to consume passive media. do you know if there is a way to change this to be a bit more similar to jellyfin/netflix/prime/d+/p+/hulu/max/curiosity stream/every other major streaming platform by lowering the barrier steps to selectable content?

whoa - this looks amazing!

i am definitely still in the working phase of wanting something, so i will be checking this out again within the week. thank you!

kodi is really good for local media, but none of my media is local. instead of using the smartTV-style jellyfin UI, jellyfin indexes the media from the server and throws up a text-only list of media in a folder structure. if i rip another movie, it needs to be indexed.

though it is pulling the index and functioning as expected, it makes the experience feel like browsing in dolphin for spreadsheets instead of getting ready for movie night.

the experience was bad enough where i just plugged the old streaming stick back in and hid my failur. i didnt tell the wife about my experience (she hates the streaming stick and wanted an OSS option). i said i would deliver one, so she thinks i just haven’t done it yet. :(

the creation of a non-kodi htpc/media center alternative that works like a smart TV OS and works on a raspberry pi would get me to change my streaming device.

i stream jellyfin from a home server, and jellyfin on kodi is painful to use :(

an OS that can be controlled with tv-controller buttons and has an interface similar to any of the other players in this space would make me throw away my nvidia shield tv in a heartbeat

so rally round your PC… with a pocket KVM

i am currently setting one up so i have no input as far as ease of use, good/bad/etc. yet, however i have a

raspberry pi, flashed

libreelec to the sd card, and plan to get

castagnaIT to run some proprietary streaming services alongside

jellyfin that i host on my home server. i just ordered a

SofaBaton U2 remote for BT and IR commands; i hope to not really need k&m after setup

can we please have a single open standard already instead of two terrible proprietary options?

its not terrible, it just sucks that its not automatic. i am not on windows and dont want to be treated like i am.

if a bug arises from using proton, it would cause the same issue for users that are forced to use proton.

just click the button that builds for linux. build for as many platforms as you can. if you cant fix all of the bugs due to time, then you’ll become a better programmer for your next game and not make thise same mistakes <3

i have a 3 monitor setup for work machine and a 49" 32:9 ultrawide for my home machine. i like them both because of the things i do on them.

my home rig is regularly for gaming. a single, large, high ppi, high refresh rate, ultrawide monitor is amazing for a gaming-first setup. there is flexibility for off-work productivity here where i split 1/3x3, 2/3-1/3, or even 2/3-2/3 with 1/3 overlap.

my work rig is regularly for programming, communication (chat, video conference, email, ticket comments), time management, word processing & diffing, testing web clients… i have to do a lot of things. the structured 3-monitored layout is great for me to keep everything in its place and flip between them frequently.

both multi-monitor and single-monitor setups have their benefits. all that matters is that you choose according to your preference and expected use-case.

a result of the brave work that the members of the NYPD do every day…

people not being shot is not the work of the nypd.

modern cars are a privacy nightmare, and there is no way to opt out.

i turn my pc off when im not using it to save power; i thought this was normal.
