Depends on how you’re viewing Jellyfin. I use Chromecast and Chromecast doesn’t support embedded subtitles well with Jellyfin. So I usually just use ffmpeg to extract the subtitles to an srt file, and then they run fine;

pushd "\\nas\Media\Movies\"
fd -e mkv | each {|x| ffmpeg -i $x -map 0:s:0 $x.srt }

Temporarily maps my UNC network location to a usable drive, then using fd and an elvish each loop, iterate over all the mkv files, and use ffmpeg to extract the subtitles.

Ez-pz.

I mean, just like everything else there’s an optimal setup. I have a NAS with an extensive media library and running Jellyfin on it was a terrible experience. The NAS simply isn’t powerful enough to make Jellyfin usable.

I fixed that issue by running the server on my PC, and the libraries point to my NAS library locations. It’s the perfect setup. I get access to my GPU for HD video transcoding, and an overpowered CPU with the advantage of not having to worry about storage.

I feel like it’s the perfect setup for me.

The separate management of metadata does sound like a pain to me

It’s really not, but I guess it depends on how you do it. You can even automate it.

It does move quickly, but IMO it doesn’t feel rushed. Anime so far feels rushed. Manwha hell castle took limke a dozen chapters. Only 2 real episodes for the Anime. That’s a little bit more than just “moving quickly.”

When I set my server up years ago all I did was log in on the web interface. Literally as simple as any other service.

They make you register with their own website to login to your local instance… That’s you jumping through hoops to accommodate their cloud bullshit;

It’s important to understand that Plex Media Server does not have its own graphical user interface. When you run the server on your computer, NAS, or other device, you won’t see a window open with a “server UI” or similar. Instead, you use our web app to manage your server.

It’s so fucking unnecessary.

I tried to setup Plex and it was just about the most god-awful experience I’ve ever had. It was unnecessarily complex to accommodate their cloud infrastructure setup.

Installing Jellyfin took like… 2 minutes and I’ve had no issues since.

Only thing I don’t like about Jellyfin is the metadata engine, which I have disabled and just use TinyMediaManager and save everything to .nfo which is picked up by Jellyfin immediately. Works great.

You should be able to pass multiple -ss and -to flags. Should look something like this;

ffmpeg -i "E01 - Part One [x265].mkv" -ss 00:05:50 -to 00:11:00 -c copy 1.mkv -ss 00:58:00 -to 00:68:00 -c copy 2.mkv
ffmpeg -i 1.mkv -i 2.mkv -filter_complex "[0:0][0:1][1:0][1:1]concat=n=2:v=1:a=1[outv][outa]" -map "[outv]" -map "[outa]" output.mkv

I’ve confirmed that this works fine.

Yeah. They’re doing a good job so far. Current arc moving incredibly quickly though. You can tell they want to end on Chimera ant arc.

lmao the impending recession is going to be fucking biblical.

(it was nvidia related)

lel we got 'im, boys. /s

Pretty weird that you were “blown away by China” then…

You’re clearly under the impression that this is something which has happened recently. And it’s not. Which is really weird because I at no point in time said anything about this being a recent thing. That’s your own bias and you’re making yourself look like a douche because you’re piling up your assumptions with each post…“oh, he must not talk to actual Chinese!” “oh, he must be one of these TikToker’s!” “oh, I bet he’s never even been to China!”

Clearly it’s a wide and diverse country. Your pessimism singularly indicates that you gravitate towards the negative–not that China is in a bad spot, but that you’re only choosing to see the bad…

So you’ve been in the last few months since you learned these great things? Or was it before Covid, when people were physically caged into their apartments?

I married a Chinese national and spend a month or two in China every year since.

Look man. You need to fucking stop. You look like an absolute douchebag.

“I was playing heroines, but in real life I wasn’t earning a living,” said Shibata, now 60. These days, she also works as a home organizer, helping people de-clutter. “Voice acting as a profession just doesn’t pay,” she said.

Disgusting.

While democracy burns, democrats do absolute dick.

Have you uh… actually been to China?

Yes. Almost a dozen times.

Or talked to anyone from China (in real life)?

Yes.

Without fail, anyone with the means is actively trying to leave.

Have you thought about why? Ask them to describe the US. They’ve been told an astonishing amount of propaganda about the US that is all incredibly untrue. I’m telling you. Actually talk to these people that you’re “in contact” with about how they view the US. They believe that every US Citizen is a millionaire. They think we have good healthcare. They think we all live in great houses. They think we all work a few hours a week and get paid a lot for it… It’s never ending. So I mean, yeah. If you get told there are places like that in the world of course you would want to leave your home country.

Email is like, the worst possible option. Check out Apprise. Super easy to setup Telegram or Discord notifications via webhooks. Takes like a minute.

I’ve come to notice that the rest of the world is already beginning to leave us behind. The realization came with the TikTok ban. Soon as I heard that TikTok could be banned, I started looking for alternatives because I was pretty sure it was going to happen. I stumbled upon XHS by accident and about a month before everyone else. I was absolutely fucking blown away by China. It’s unlike we’ve been told in almost all respects…

I really came to realize that other countries are leaving us in their dust and it’s only a matter of time before we’re not the Apex predator anymore, and frankly I can hardly blame them.

Yes, but you won’t have access to most of its features other than just typing. Since you’re using Graphene and Google Play/Google Play Services are sandboxed cutting network permissions from Gboard should be enough to completely disable its phone to home.

Yes.

If you need a tutorial on how to install pen-testing tools, it’s probably best you just don’t install them…
