A single folder synced between all of them, or a separate folder for each, syncing everything to a single device?

Thank you for thoroughly explaining this. Your explanations make good sense to me.

I assume we’re talking about software testing? I’d like to know more about:

• The meaning of negative and positive tests in this context

• Good examples of badly done negative tests by LLMs

deploy a raspberry to project services into their local network

This piqued my interest!

What’s a good way of doing it? What services, besides the VPN, would run on that RPi (or some other SBC or other tiny device…) to make Jellyfin accessible on the local network?

There’s also a more lightweight alternative for recording tracks called OpenTracks. It can export the data in KMZ, KML, GPX or CSV format.

Yes, you can cast from the official YouTube app (or Revanced). You need to generate a code for connection in the SmartTube settings, then connect your phone through the cast menu. The option in the cast menu on the phone is called something like “Connect with code” IIRC.

Why not paperless? I’ve thought of trying out paperless-ngx but would like to hear about your experiences with it or other thoughts about it.

You’re always bringing something interesting to look into or write on the list for later. This time too! Nimletter is on my list now.

There’s probably a Plex add-on for Kodi. At least, there is for Jellyfin and Emby. If you don’t like the UI, try changing it. I prefer the one called “Arctic: Zephyr - Reloaded”. You’ll need to customize the homescreen a bit to get the most out of it. That way you can make it show widgets of your content, e.g. the latest content added, continue watching, specific libraries, etc. That, at least, works very well with Jellyfin through the Jellycon add-on.

I thought this would work - and it does! Here’s how to add radio channels as Live TV:

• From the Jellyfin homescreen menu, navigate to the Dashboard
• Click the Dashboard menu button (three stripes at the top)
• Go to Live TV
• Click the first (+) button to add a new tuner device
• Choose “M3U Tuner”
• Select your local .m3u file or paste a URL
• Click Save
• Go back to the homescreen of Jellyfin
• In the menu, click Live TV
• Switch to the tab called Channels
• If your .m3u file works, you can select any channel it contains from here.

You can even add a custom logo for each channel:

#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:-1,Channel 1 tvg-logo="https://link.to/logo-ch1.png"
http://liveradio.url.channel1.fake:8000/channel1-is-fake.mp3

#EXTINF:-1,RadiOmega tvg-logo="https://linking.park/logo-radiomega.png"
http://liveradio.nope.omegalive:8000/y/radiomega.mp3

And rank them in the list by changing -1 to positive values IIRC.

I just tried this on an Ultra.cc seedbox with yt-dlp installed, and the Fintube plugin configured to the right path for that, yet when I go to Dashboard > Fintube and click the Submit button to add a video to the download, nothing happens. Can’t figure out what’s wrong.

Maybe Jellyfin doesn’t have the necessary write permissions to write the file to that folder, but I’m not quite sure how to change those on such a seedbox, if that’s the case.

Any experience with this to share? Would the Submit button usually lead to a different view, or does it just stay on that video submission screen while the download happens silently in the background? The lack of action I experience when clicking it feels a bit awkward…

It seems it has a single widget, “status widget”.

Thanks for your response. Much appreciated. Do I understand it correctly that I’ll be able to add more drives later in JBOD mode, but I’ll simply have to power it off before adding or swapping drives?

I’m in the same situation as you, more or less… I have three new 22TB drives that need an enclosure, preferably for JBOD (no hardware RAID needed) but I can’t figure out which ones are actually good products… I don’t mind using a random-brand product if it’s actually solid.

I find it very difficult to figure out which ones will support my 22TB drives. And for some of them, it seems, it’s impossible to add new drives to empty slots later (because of hardware RAID, I guess?), which has made me hesitant in buying one with more slots than I have drives, in case they can’t be utilized later on anyway…

I was looking at the QNAP TR-004 which was mentioned by someone else somewhere on Lemmy some months ago, but IIRC it would be impossible to use the fourth slot later if the drive isn’t included in the hardware RAID configuration…

EDIT: I have also been looking into so-called “backplanes” as an alternative, since they seem to do the job and are cheaper, but I’m unsure if I’ll need a PC chassis/case/tower for that to actually work?

If you find something good (products or relevant info), feel free to share it with me.

If you connect to Jellyfin through Kodi with the JellyCon add-on, you can sync audio, subtitles etc. when it’s playing.

While it’s possible to navigate through your Jellyfin libraries from within the Jellycon add-on in Kodi, I usually find it quicker to just use the Jellyfin app or webapp on phone/pc to find the desired media, then “cast” it to the active Kodi client. The Kodi client will then play it directly from the server, no video data is going through the casting device.

Kodi/LibreELEC + JellyCon add-on works great!

When looking up my static ip, the location I get is the one of my ISP, not my address. Do you happen to live nearby some central infrastructure of your ISP? (If it seems otherwise, I’m not trying to debunk what you said - I’m just asking curious questions!)

Got any recommendations for a good DAS with a fair price, either new or used?

I’m looking for something to place three 22 TB drives in, eventually to be expanded in the future, so I’m looking for a DAS with at least three 3.5" bays.

It refers to some old forum signature iirc. I saw an explanation of it in some other Lemmy thread some time ago, though I don’t exactly remember where or when.

I’ve only touched a Euronet ATM to write “SCAM” on it, to warn those unaware of the dangers awaiting them…
