Watching Curb Your Enthusiasm on findroid while scrolling through Lemmy rn lol
Findroid doesn’t support live TV but its downloads are better integrated
I think their official community is !jellyfin@lemmy.ml
It is not official, afaik. Their only official communication presence after the reddit disaster is their own forums.
It’s official. All 3 of us work on Jellyfin. However, I now see we don’t have it listed in the Social section of the contact page. I’ll get it added.
Can’t tell if it’s official, but there’s this if you’re on Mastodon: https://mastodon.online/@jellyfin
Run by: https://social.bonifacelabs.ca/@anthonylavado (claims to be part of core Jellyfin team)
Not any less buggy than Plex, just buggy in different ways.
…can be used on Hetzner and it’s free…
Is it possible to make something like a tv channel that randomly selects a video from one of a few folders?
If you use Kodi as your Jellyfish front end, yes you can do this with the PseudoLiveTV add-on.
Thanks for the suggestion ill check it out
kodi’s pseudotv does this well and you can use jellyfin as a backend
but I’m also curious if there’s a more direct way to do this with jellyfin
Yea I was hoping Jellyfin could handle it but maybe these are separate concerns. Thanks for the reply
I’ve found the best solution for that is spinning up an ErsatzTV docker instance and add the Live TV channel to Jellyfin. You can customize what gets played to the Live TV channel and I had used it to run a “kids TV” channel at home. The only drawback is I had to shut it down because the transcoding for it was brutal (on a server with no video card). It will convert everything to a standard stream format, and none of my video files would just get served as is.
Thanks for the reply dude, I’ll google your suggestions and take a look. Cheers

I haven’t tried to set up music yet, but getting a lot of false lookups on tv episodes even after renaming to the generally agreed file naming format. Still playing with the setup so may get better. Linked it to my kodi on rpi4.

I check up on it every now and then in the hope it will eventually supports ISOs and cuesheets.
I’ve been running Jellyfin for a few years now and I love it.
