Thanks! I thought most people don’t use navidrome if they have multiple users because they can’t create user-specific playlists. Is this not the case? What music features do you find limiting on Jellyfin? Also, how did you get your family to switch off music streaming for your navidrome server?

Could you please explain your use case for Music Assistant if you already have Jellyfin/Plex and Navidrome?

Nice! Is this basically SS2 with QoL and graphical enhancements mods? Or are these changes being created in-house?

Thank you for the clarification!

This is because lemmy.world defederated, right? So at this point would we recommend people to make a different account on an alternative server? Not a problem for those that have just joined, just delete and make a new account. But have there been any recent developments on migration tools for moving accounts to a new server while preserving account data?

Yeah, I’ve started looking into ARC as that looks like what Jellyfin supports the best. Would you mind telling me what ARC you are using and how many simultaneous transcodes you’ve been able to handle? It looks like the Pro A-Series is the best.

You may be right going off this.

Also this is hilarious:

Looks like I’ll be looking into a dedicated gpu, and AMD isn’t recommended, so it’ll be Nvidia.

Unfortunately, Video Core Next isn’t listed in Jellyfin’s hardware acceleration list. I tried AMD iGPU passthrough with VA-API, but ran into issues. It seems I need to figure out:

1. How are people on Firefox not having to transcode? Do they just not use mkv’s or h265? Looking at the documentation, Firefox will need to do transcode, which lines up with what I’m seeing on my end.
2. I need to figure out how to get iGPU to work so transcoding doesn’t hurt the server so much.

Big Buck Bunny direct plays. It’s a .mp4 container and h264, so that likely has to do with it. My understanding was most people would be using h265 mkv files for content that’s 1080p or higher. It plays fine on Google Chrome and Edge, but not Firefox, so I’m a bit confused how people can be using Firefox and not have transcoding, unless they avoid h265 and mkv.

Everything I play has “The container is not supported”. I use mkv’s mostly. In this example, the audio codec is not supported as well.

Intel processor N100? Isn’t hardware acceleration for GPUs? Or am I misunderstanding.

Does it support playing mkv’s? I see container not supported and it transcodes.

What settings are you using under Playback -> Transcoding? Have you changed anything?

My server has a AMD Ryzen 9 5950X and a single transcode about maxes it out on CPU usage. Even when playing a 1080p file. This can’t be normal if others are just “dealing” with transcodes, unless everyone is using hardware acceleration. I’m using Firefox as the client.

Edit: I did turn off Allow encoding in HEVC format and Allow encoding in AV1 format and things are a bit better. Still not sure how people avoid transcoding on Firefox though.

Do you use mpv shim? How do you avoid transcoding? In my opinion, that is why we can’t rely on the browser client and require a dedicated application.

Have a look at this guide.

Also, you should add the Original Plus French custom format. Set it to required like the other one you made.

I keep hearing about ZeroK and Beyond All-Reason. What are the major differences between the two and how do these compare with Sup Com FAF, TA and such?

What about The Infectious Madness of Doctor Dekker?

I’ve never played it, but perhaps Mask of the Rose?

Yes, if the release does not have the language set as English and French, it won’t be have the higher custom format score.

For me, because I grab anime, they are usually set as Japanese, and I have the system look for the word “dual” within the title. But that probably won’t work with what you’re trying.

Does the interactive search show a release with a higher custom format score?

Can you provide some examples and/or screenshots?

1. LUFS is disabled
2. ID3 tags should be fine. This issue was present before I started manually tagging with MP3tag.
3. I might be wrong on the playback reporting not working, as I needed to wait for the entire track to finish for it to show in the plugin page. Testing with the official Jellyfin Desktop Client (Windows).

I went back and did some additional testing. I am unable to reproduce the issue on a completely fresh Windows Jellyfin install (10.3). I wiped all the directories before installing.

Though it took multiple attempts, the issue is still present on my main server (Linux Debian service) after adding the playback reporting plugin. I briefly added all the plugins and matched the settings and I can’t get the clean Windows server to break. I’ll have to dig deeper on the main server to see what may be causing this.
