Trying to replace our old Android based TV interface with a Linux based one.

Anyone know a #JellyFin client that allows for switching users without having to log in to each every time?

The android client allowed us to have a few users logged in and just switch between them.

Figuring out how to passthrough an #AMD iGPU to a #Linux VM on #Proxmox is just..... something not within my capacity atm lol. Maybe someday if I happen to have an additional test hardware I could potentially fuck with without screwing my main environment, and if I manage that then I could update my #homelab wiki on how to do it. For now though, I think I can live without transcoding on #Jellyfin or #ErsatzTV :))

Enhance your budget smart tv experience:

1. never let it connect to the internet
2. by a lenovo m900 mini computer at least 6th gen intel
3. Install any linux operating system or media os that is free and open source
4. Feel free to pirate any media from companies that are known to change the terms of the sale after the sale
5. Remember folks: if buying isn't owning, piracy isn't stealing

My #Helm chart for a complete home media/streaming stack, Flex has been updated to version 0.2.0 🎉

Previously, it supports #Plex as the streaming service, #Bazarr for automated subtitle downloads, #Flaresolverr for bypassing web protections/challenges, #Jackett as proxy server for #torrent trackers, #Overseerr as an interface for requesting media, #qBittorrent as the torrent client, #Radarr for downloading/managing movies, and #Sonarr for downloading/managing TV shows.

Now, to reduce reliance on Plex and lean towards a completely #FOSS stack, I've added in support for #Jellyfin as a drop-in replacement for Plex, #JellyPlex-Watched for syncing watch states between Jellyfin/Plex servers, and #Jellyseerr as a drop-in replacement for Overseerr, which not only works with Plex but also Jellyfin.

I've been using this for over a year at this point and it works perfectly. For me personally, I have everything supported deployed using this on my #Kubernetes cluster except for Jellyfin, Plex, and qBittorrent, which I've deployed as individual VMs instead on #Proxmox cos I find it less resource/bandwidth taxing on my cluster that way - this shouldn't be an issue if your cluster is a lot beefier. During non-peak loads, the (Flex) stack uses up a total of only ~0.19 CPU core and ~1.6GB memory.

My #Jellyfin and #Plex setup are pretty similar, i.e. on #Debian/#Ubuntu VMs with a mount pointing to my #SMB share from my #NAS, using native installations rather than #Docker, etc. I just noticed though, that there are some of my media folders that I currently have setup using relative symlinks.. for example:

MyMedia -> ../Videos/Media

and the videos within them (of which are mostly also relative symlinks) are not appearing/discovered on Jellyfin, when they do on Plex. The result is, based on my example, my media library on Jellyfin, which is pointing to a folder that contains various other folders including "MyMedia", is not able to discover the "MyMedia" folder - it only displays folders that are actual folders and not symlinks. Can someone tell if this is expected, and something not supported on Jellyfin?

I also have instances where I have movies stored in my Movies media folder, then have a (relative) symlink pointing to the movie from, for example, an anime's "Specials" folder so that users can discover/watch them as a standalone movie, or alongside their TV series progress - I'm wondering now if those files are also not appearing too since they too are symlinks.

On the server itself, both Jellyfin and Plex, the mount is configured exactly the same, and simply using ls, it doesn't seem either of them have difficulty or different behaviours following the "trail" from the symlink to the target file or folder.

---

Edit: From what I've found so far, it seems that Jellyfin straight up ignores symlink files, which is... ridiculous. I know I can prolly use hardlinks, at least I expect I can, but that's just so stupid and not what I want.

A lot of my home videos are organised in such a way that relies heavily on relative symlinks, so that one video can be linked to several folders (i.e. my personal folder and my family's etc. if it's related to them), and that they're easy to trace. I even do this for photos, so I can link a single photo into multiple folders (i.e. who's in them, the event that took place, etc.) without taking up additional space.

I also use relative links, instead of absolute links, so that they can be read/followed on no matter what system of mine I'm using that has the SMB share mounted - regardless of their mount point (i.e. #Linux and #macOS have different file structure etc.).

Ngl out of all hitches I've encountered in my migration from Plex to Jellyfin, this might be the most bitter pill I'm to swallow - cos I don't think I can work around this, reasonably, without making changes to my SMB share that I'm not only using for Jellyfin, but a lot of other things as well for me to even consider tailor/catering it solely for Jellyfin and potentially break the workflow of a lot of other things I rely on.

forum.jellyfin.orgCan't read symlink filesHello!, I'm trying to figure out why my Jellyfin setup can't read symlink files, I'm following this guide to locally mount my debrid files through rclone on a new path /mnt/jellyfin, no problems there

Did you know? One of the best ways to support your favorite artists is still by purchasing their albums. Even if they received 100% of the royalties from streaming, it would take at least 10,000 streams for an artist to earn the same amount as from a single album sale.

When was the last time you listened to anything 10,000 times?

#Jellyfin (media player) on desktop works on #macOS, but not on #Linux #Flatpak on my machine. The app launches just fine, and the server configuration was fine, and the user authentication was fine, but after I start playing a media file... the app just crashes.

Each time I restart the app, it'd ask me to reauthenticate with my user (no longer prompted for server configuration), and again it'll crash if I attempt to play a media file. These logs might/not be relevant as they're already there when running the app, and when it crashes, nothing new appeared.

Anybody knows the cause/fix?

edit: Apparently a known issue with seemingly no workaround/fix yet. This issue is supposedly not present in the previous version though, so I'm hoping it'd be a quick fix.

Oh lol, it's one of those things where people say "so and so" is amazing!!! Works perfectly for me so it must for you... then you realise immediately after giving it a whirl that something as basic as subtitle support on your media, regardless if transcoding or direct play (why that'd even matter, honestly?) is broken on #Jellyfin. I'm eager to switch to Jellyfin bcos I always knew it was the platform to be on, not #Plex (since #FOSS and all), but I am perplexed how Jellyfin supposedly is not able to deliver on this seemingly very basic feature - support subtitles (properly).
