Trying to remember how Jellyfin works. #jellyfin
This Week in Self-Hosted (11 April 2025)
Hoarder's new name change, software updates and launches, a spotlight on #Streamystats -- a Jellyfin statistics-tracking platform, and more in this week's #selfhosted recap!
So, alle amerikanischen Streamingdienste gekündigt. Natürlich mit entsprechender Bewertung der App oder Bemerkung in der Kündigung.
Jetzt gibt es halt gebrauchte Filme im eigenen @jellyfin und statt der Abogebühren, Abonnements bei @riffreporter @Krautreporter und @PerspectiveDaily .
Das Android-Tablet gegen ein Linux-Convertible getauscht, das #Fairphone läuft eh schon mit @e_mydata , PC mit #TuxedoOS
It's been a while since I last used one of these shiny discs Now let me search for my USB-DVD-drive, so I can rip that archaic optical storage medium and throw it into #jellyfin...
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?
This Week in Self-Hosted (4 April 2025)
#AprilShowers bring new projects, software updates and launches, a spotlight on #BookLore -- an ebook management and reading platform, and more in this week's #selfhosted recap!
#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.

Today we are excited to announce #Jellyfin is pivoting away from new personal media streaming features and going all in with a new #AI #chatgpt program.
Introducing #JellyAI!
No longer will you need to discuss which Lord of the Rings edit is definitive with people. Chat with the JellyAI bot!
Stop telling your spouse 4 other movies that actor was in, tell it to the JellyAI bot and have it respond with wondered amazement at your movie knowledge instead of a sigh and a side eye.
Start playing Don't Tell Mom The Babysitter's Dead and JellyAI will popup on screen at random intervals to roast you for your movie choice.
In fact, point JellyAI to your movie library and have it roast your entire collection.
Purchase JellyAI today, and we'll throw in the #music component for free!
With the music component, JellyAI will listen to you sing along and point out every time you sing the wrong words.
It'll also tell you if the current band ever wore white belts in their band photos.
Buy today!
It's happening. It's happening!
#Jellyfin on #Roku 3.0.0 has been released!
Announcement Blog Post: https://jellyfin.org/posts/roku-300
Release Notes: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-roku/releases/tag/3.0.0
#Jellyfin question: so with an older Mac mini (running 10.13.6) I am SOL?
@kuketzforum interessanter Beitrag. Ich nutze #myfritz + #Wireguard intensiv. Da ich Pi-Hole und andere Dienste wie #Jellyfin usw. als LXC über #Proxmox laufen lasse, werde ich mich mal damit beschäftigen, auch WG hierüber zu steuern und den Dienst in der #Fritzbox abzuschalten. Das ganze läuft allerdings seit sehr langer Zeit schon sehr stabil. Bin auf die Diskussion im Forum gespannt.
@heiseonline Meiner Meinung nach alles Folgen von #Enshittification. Bin auch wieder dazu übergegangen Medien (Filme, Serien, Musik) Second Hand Retail zu kaufen und dann per #Jellyfin im Heimnetzwerk zu streamen.
Habe gar keine Streaming Abos mehr.
@highway2009 @sponkae yeah, #plex feels like a trap right now, they centralise auth, gather data of what you watch, and are cozying up with the studios more and more.
I moved to #jellyfin a few months ago and it’s totally stand alone with no features behind a paywall.
I’ve seen Mastodon, Pixelfed devs and admins have to repeatedly ask for help with the costs for creating and running things and getting grief when they do so. It’s a particular bugbear of mine, that people can’t undertstand someone, somewhere along the line is forking out money to support what they take for granted and for free! Whoever cracks micropayments for FOSS that are fast, safe and secure will change the Internet for us all. /end #Plex #Jellyfin
It’s been a journey with them but Plex is an intrinsic part of my set up. The company’s financial model was prob unsustainable especially with the low cost of a Lifetime Pass which I think cost me £79 back in the day. In the last year we saw layoffs and a strategic rethink after some missteps. It was at this time I set up Jellyfin as a just in case option. We have to figure out better ways to support software devs. It costs money to make things. Devs shouldn’t need to beg! /2 #Plex #Jellyfin
I say this as someone who has both #Plex and #Jellyfin set up on my server. I am beyond tired of the overreactions and at times childish bloviating to Plex changing their pricing and free offering this past week. I’ve used Plex for 12 years. It was free to download and install. Allowed me to watch my DVD/Blurays without having to swap out disks. Game changer. I then purchased a Plex Lifetime Pass to help support the software. They struggled at first with 4K but now very solid and reliable. /1
