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?
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 burns my biscuits and scorches my gravy not having OTA reception.
I really miss having OTA TV reception. Where we have lived since 2019, we get zero channels. We probably wouldn't have bought this house and moved here had we known that.
There is no reasonable antenna that will pull reception, either.
My brother has fiber and I have been putting off building a box to stick #NextPVR, #JellyFin and my TV tuner cards in so I could stream OTA from his home two hours away and record TV again. There was a lot of sub channels, like movies, etc in our old region where he lives, which is technically ours, too.
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
Exciting news
After a year away (and 20 viv releases!), I have returned to the #Jellyfin #Roku team and am bringing #viv along with me.
What does this mean?
1. viv has been brought under the Jellyfin umbrella and the new Jellyfin on Roku 3.0.0 is based on viv!
2. There will be no further viv development, which makes sense because viv has literally become Jellyfin on Roku.
3. I'm now the Jellyfin Roku team lead 
and will continue working on the client and directing the client just as I did on viv.
viv users, I'm ecstatic y'all used the client and went along with me on this ride. Rest assured all the reasons that made you choose viv in the first place will continue now that we're "official" again 
Our punk spirit will continue!
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
Hmm, Jellyfin Media Player on the MintBook (MacBook Pro with Mint Linux) makes no sound. Works fine in the browser, but no sound from the player...
Just when you think audio on Linux "just works"... sigh.
It's so frustrating that there have been so many metadata edits at TVDB and tmdb TV where editors are adding complete episode summaries, including spoilers, instead of simple episode descriptions for the metadata. I wonder if some of these editors are using AI.
Is there a Jellyfin iOS music player that works in the background?
Infuse, the official client, and safari web playback all stop playing when the phone locks.
Right!
#JellyFin installed. Most of my media reorganised and indexed.
#Tailscale deleted. I can't be bothered running it 24/7 on my phone.
#Docker and #NGINX reverse proxy manager installed. Probably done that right. No idea if it'll survive a reboot.
#LetsEncrypt set up with Dynamic DNS. No SSL errors!
HD Streaming over 5G works - but will have to see how adaptive it is on shitty hotel WiFi.
Bit of a faff, but seems to be working. Next step is configuring a Fire Stick to work with it.
Today's task, make #Jellyfin accessible from outside my network.
It looks like the simplest solution is #Tailscale - but I'm a bit wary as it only seems to allow social sign in. I want a unique account, damnit!
Dude, what the fuck is #Plex up to now?
- An increase in price for their monthly Plex Pass: doesn't matter to me, why would I pay for it in the first place, esp considering how people who do often complain that the things they're paying for don't always work.
- Removal of activation fee of their #iOS and #Android apps on mobile (previously, already free elsewhere): good, reduces that slight friction for users from trying to using Plex.
- Remote playback on your own fuckin' server is no longer an option, without either a Plex Pass subscription or a (newly released) Remote Watch subscription: this... is stupid af.
All in all, we've been pampered with Plex and its ease of use and beautiful UI for too long, it's about time we move (and improve) #FOSS alternatives like #Jellyfin instead.

@Edent The app #symfonium on Android plays gapless from #jellyfin. Only caveat: it costs money. Might be worth a try - I love it!
