i hate that most of it is half-assed unless you spend twice as much to make it look good.
the current black paint + edgelord logo + generic phrase about gaming + half-brighness rainbow LEDs on 40% of your components in every computer just gets old. if one actually spends a decent amount of money i think it can look good, tho.
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)
microsoft java :p
the fact that these are strings instead of an object that is broken up by country code, area code, and number makes me irrationally angry.
…a Trump-branded phone, the T1, which they claim will be made in America.
no it wont. we do not have the infrastructure to make all of the components in america. they might be able to assemble it here, but it will definitely not be made here.
usually a band plays for ~30-45m - enjoying music time - and ~15m-1h (depending on the setup for that night) of downtime for chatting.
as one with limited mobility, i have made friends at the local, extremely small, music venue. tickets at the door are $20, beer is cheap, and everyone is super friendly.
because its a small place, the owner lets me take a chair with me when i am going to one of the stages that has no seating (i use a cane; its hard to stand for long periods). i usually sit next to the merch tables, and the friends of the bands usually strike up conversation.
this is a suuuuuper small place. it has 2-3 stages (depending on the night), but they are really close together, so only one band at a time can play (two stages are outside because the building is so small). even if its not music, go to really small local places that get decent crowds - they are a lot more personable.
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:
on Kodi jellycon app:
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
ask them for the .onion to get to their site 👍
its not terrible, it just sucks that its not automatic. i am not on windows and dont want to be treated like i am.
seems overdue at this point, especially with the extremely hateful poem on it /s
