been working on a way to manage my Jellyfin music video library for ~1.5 years. finally got it in a state where i think it might be useful to others.

i was using nfo files for kodi, so i figured i'd use that same system for jellyfin.

thought i'd share it here in hopes it can help someone else. i'm sure there's lots of bugs, i don't code much. let me know what you think and what improvements or new features i can make.

Release Notes: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-roku/releases/tag/3.0.2

I downloaded a few things thinking I could watch offline. Turns out you can't. Does the app have a way to remove the downloaded content?

The Xbox app for Jellyfin now has a new maintainer and its first release in 5 years.

Tl/Dr: Which subtitle formats does Roku's custom subtitle option support?

Hi, I'm using the 3.0.1 Roku client, server version 10.10.1 on MacOS 10.13. I'm watching a series with Chinese srt subtitles and enabled fallback fonts, directed them to a folder full of necessary woff2 and otf fonts as well as enabled custom subtitles on the client. But the srts either display squares or just nothing at all. Works fine if I switch to the ass file I exported though. Does the CJK support only apply to ass/ssa files or is there something I'm doing wrong?

Why Should I Care?

In case you don't know, Finamp is a music client for Jellyfin, that has been

I’m just starting with Jellyfin, so I apologize if this question has already been answered or if it seems silly.

For reasons that aren’t important, I have two separate servers (in different geographic locations), and from what I can see, the only way to switch from one to the other is through the sidebar by selecting the server. This is quite inconvenient.

Until now, I was using Plex, and there, once you register both servers in the client you’re using, it displays all the libraries from both servers. The user doesn’t even need to know where each thing is located, as they are combined seamlessly, almost as if they were separate libraries on the same server. I hope that makes sense.

Is it possible to do something similar in Jellyfin? Thank you.

As most know, Jellyfin is great for consuming media stored on any drive. I integrated my Jellyfin library with Nextcloud to:

• Enable friends in different locations to upload and manage files.
• Share specific media with people who don't have accounts
• Sync media between devices

1. Install Nextcloud and setup an external drive.
2. Assign the Jellyfin account to the Nextcloud user group: usermod -aG nextcloud jellyfin
3. Add the libraries in Jellyfin

I gave my friends access to create but not delete media on the drive for safety. We sync what we want to different devices to play on better apps for the media type such as Librera Reader for books and Voice for audiobooks.

This marks the first release of the app since 2022! Read more about the update and obstacles we overcame to make this happen in the blog post.

When the files of movies and episodes are modified on disk and scanned again by Jellyfin, the "date added" field is modified.

This means that old items jump to the top of the Recently Added list, which I find annoying.

For this reason I've written this script, which detects these changes and sets the date to the previous value. It can be installed with docker and is simple to configure.

When I'm uploading a show to my server, or setting the subtitles or whatever, I'd like to have the show disabled and invisible to everyone until I have everything uploaded and set up at 100%. Is there a way to do this?

Dear community,

Maybe the answer lies in front of my eyes, I am good at not seeing this kind of things but... Is it nornal that my jellyfin recognizes en.hi subtitles as Hindi instead of English? The subtitles come from bazarr and the related github issue I found is closed: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/issues/4291 Did I miss something?

EDIT: Bazarr problem: Somehow it was completely missing the language tag "en". My fix is to "remove HI tags" in bazarr. It is a per file operation though.

I've had my server running for over a year and it's been fantastic until last week. Suddenly, I'm having a lot of issues playing certain titles on certain devices, but none of it really makes sense to me. Here's what I know: I have two Roku TVs in separate rooms. Both are nearly identical models (and support the same codecs). One is directly connected to the server and the other uses a power line adapter or WiFi. The direct connection does not stutter when playing anything so far. The other tv is nearly unplayable with stuttering. My first thought was a network issue, but other apps (Netflix, etc) play just fine. I then thought it was transcoding ( I use QSV), but it doesn't make sense that the DC tv doesn't have the same issue. Other devices which connect over WiFi also have the same issue. Is there some way to tell through the logs if jellyfin is actively transcoding or failing to serve media in real-time? Or any other steps I could take to troubleshoot the root cause of my issues. T

I am using the show duplicates feature in Plex quite often, it is pretty much the only thing that keeps me from switching to Jellyfin permanently. Is there a way to substitute it? Maybe an Addon?

EFCore has landed in unstable, and this will have consequences.
