that's cool and all but when are we getting Jellyfin for Tizen on the Samsung TV app store? That's the only thing stopping me from switching, I don't want to deploy it myself
I noticed some updates on live video streaming. I do wonder if that will help in how jellyfin interepts commercial breaks.
Let's say I have an m3u8 playlist with a bunch of video streams. I've noticed in jellyfin when they go to like a commercial the stream freaks out. It made me wonder if the player just couldn't understand the ad insertion.
Anyway wonderful update regardless and huge improvement.
You can hide all of that on your sidebar customization settings, but yeah it’s annoying that it’s turned on by default. The Discover is occasionally useful, but I honestly use Overseerr for discoverability more than I use Plex’s built-in search.
My biggest complaint with Plex is the lack of support for .m3u8 playlists. I want to be able to give it a list of livestreams, and then tune into those via Plex. Plex obviously already has live-streaming support built in via their Plex channels, but they have actively worked against custom livestream playlists, (it used to be supported via an extension, but they removed extension support.)
The layout of Plex definitely fits my brain waaaaay better with respect to navigation. But I hardly use it because I keep running into playback stuttering which doesn’t happen on Infuse, which I point at Jellyfin in my Synology. Will give this version another try.
I was getting stuttering on my server the other day but i think it was caused by mismatched client/server versions. When i upgraded the server to the latest release it went away
Lacking a centralised server that even self-hosted instances must use to validate admins and will render your instance inaccessible if Plex's server goes down again?
Jellyfin server isn’t lacking, but the weak point is definitely client software, especially on iOS. Unfortunately they just don’t have the same kind of resources Plex do in that regard.
I run Plex and Jellyfin, with watched status between the two synchronised with jellyplex-watched.
Unless I’m missing something, you can’t have multiple user profiles.
I use Infuse on my Apple TV with Plex Media Server as the backend. I can work with that limitation on Apple TV because my wife and kids use the official Plex app while I use Infuse, but ideally I’d prefer if we all used Infuse.
Ahh yes multi user is unfortunately not an infuse feature. Swiftfin does however have multiple users on iOS and presumably tvOS but isn’t as polished as infuse.
You don’t actually need to run down first. Just a docker compose pull if you haven’t made any changes, then docker compose up -d will restart whatever needs to be restarted.
I wish there was some kind of place where we could croudsource impressions and fixes for new versions of docker images.
Manjaro does something like this for their releases. They also have a survey that indicates how well things went (although it's participant biased to some degree since folks who had a problem tend to vote more than people who didn't).
It would be amazing to be able to pop in and see that jellyfin had a couple of new releases, that one of them does much better than the others in terms of overall quality, and what kind of issues there are (and how to fix them).
Unfortunately I set mine up with synology’s own container manager (many regrets) and so far I’ve not been able to bump anything. Will have another go when I’m home but I may up up tearing it all down and starting again using docker compose. Seems like the better option
The latest version of Synology with the container manager allows you to update images from the registry and will restart the container for you.
But I still migrated to docker compose to enable hw transcoding with quicksync
That is also my understanding. But for whatever reason, after updating the image and restarting the container, Jellyfin is still reporting 10.8 on the admin dashboard 😢
I did not yet upgrade to the latest version, but to migrate to compose I only had to copy the volume paths and the environment variables from Synology.
I can share my compose yaml by the end of the day if you need.
Before I upgrade I will try putting the cache on a SSD instead, seems it can improve performance quite a bit
