You could write a s script which follows jellyfin logs line for line and greps/seds/awks for a keyword corresponding to starting playback. Then you could extract the file path.

It’s also likely that it’s possible to start your specific scheduled task by API like the following [1].

PS: I don’t know whether it’s possible to run a scheduled task for a specific file only. But I’ve already written the above anyway.

Good point. I’ll have to stop using immutable and stay with atomic (and declarative).

Interestingly /bin and /usr/bin are not in PATH by default, so /bin/chewy can only be executed by its path directly and won’t affect the systems reliability.

Fully agreed. On almost any atomic distro, /home/user is writeable like usual, so any attacker is able to persist itself by editing ~/.bashrc and putting a binary somewhere.

NixOS is immutable and atomic, but it isn’t image-based.

Immutable simply refers to how the running system configuration can’t be changed by simply putting a file somewhere (e.g. copy a binary to /bin, which is a bad idea).

For example, Fedora Atomic and derivatives are image based, although they are more flexible than the A/B types like SteamOS.

OpenSUSE MicroOS uses btrfs snapshots to apply updates atomically, and is more flexible than most image based immutable distros.

Edit: But I don’t think those terms have a single definition, so how would you differentiate these terms?

MPV also supports pipewire.

For no particular reason, except for btrfs taking up less RAM. I don’t know their specs, but the lack of RAM was my reason for deciding against btrfs for my large non-mirrored HDD.

I personally really like btrfs for my large media HDD because it makes copying large files an instantaneous operation.

Also, it’s useful to have 6 hourly snapshots in case *arr upgrades something or anything else happens (btrbk).

It’s not necessary almost any time, but the times I needed it a CoW FS with snapshots came in handy.

Edit: Also, btrfs does check summing, so it’s possible to detect bit rot.

Because YouTube pays Louis Rossmann, compared to selfhosting video which costs tremendous amounts of money through bandwidth.

Yes, ~/.local/share/flatpak includes all user installed flatpaks, while /var/lib/flatpak includes all system wide installed flatpaks. Both include repository information and required runtimes (i.e. dependencies).

This does not include user data, which is stored in ~/.var/app.

Make sure to test your backup just in case on another system/VM.

You put it in a hole, done. Humanity is capable of that, for sure

Looking at the discussion where this hole should be doesn’t give me confidence. Everyone wants long term storage, but no one wants it near themselves.

We’re producing nuclear waste for half a century and there’s still no long term storage location. The generation who created this early waste is currently dying away and I don’t think the generation after wants to deal with the problem either.

Not everything is about economics, otherwise we probably wouldn’t be talking about renewables at all.

Taking the long term impact of coal, gas and oil on our climate and nature into account, renewables are cheaper. The cost of destroyed infrastructure through (ever more likely) extreme weather events alone is immense and often not taken into account, not to mention the impact on food.

The amount of money countries have is limited. If the goal is to replace coal, gas and oil as quickly as possible it’s more efficient to use cheaper technology.

As for “free energy”, no energy is free.

Yes, my point was about already built solar and wind turbines, that lose money the moment they are not running. The same is true for a powered down nuclear reactor, as the fuel isn’t the expensive part of the operation.
My point is that technology that is expensive even if not curently in use, does not make for good backup power. This makes renewables and nuclear not a good combination, as it’s quite expensive.

Biomass isn’t practical as it releases far too much emissions to be worth it, you almost might as well use gas.

Yes, biogass is only an option as an addition and shouldn’t be used continuously (for backup power it should be fine).

This is especially true for Thorium technology or actinide burners. Actinide burners literally reuse nuclear waste.

Those are future technologies never used commercially (if at all). Thorium reactors are not even in the testing stage yet, it’s even worse if you look at acinide burners. I’d like to switch to low emission energy now, not in a few decades.

Oh I agree. Keeping the status quo is a terrible idea and will get increasingly more expensive (as in increased likelihood for extreme weather events which are bad for health, food, infrastructur, …).

People arguing against nuclear power for it’s cost and unclear timeline usually don’t argue for coal, oil and gas.
Wind and solar are cheaper, continue to get cheaper and can be built within years, not decades.

Also, renewables are a proven technology while proposals for new nuclear reactor tech have usually never been deployed successfully (as in running continuously and actually contributing to the grid).

Nuclear stocks rise and fall with state funding. It’s neither practical to privately ensure a fission recator, nor is it practical to build them privately.

There are better investments.

You’re telling me humanity will able to manage nuclear waste for hundreds to thousands of years, given the fall of multiple great societies over the last few thousand years?

It’s not even a solved problem how to communicate danger with signs[1], and you think knowledge about where nuclear waste is being stored will be preserved for a thousand years?

I really envy you for your optimism in humanity.

No one is suggesting Nuclear as the only source of energy. It is very helpful though for grid firming and reducing the amount of expensive and environmentally destructive energy storage therefore reducing the overall cost of operating the grid while increasing reliability and reducing land usage and environmental damage.

Nuclear reactors are not useful for grid firming in a renewable grid, because they have to be running at 100℅ all the time to be anywhere near economical.

Renewables (wind-/solar) aren’t the most predictable sources of energy, so they need something to jump in when power demand is higher than supply. Nuclear reactors can’t deliver on that use case, while battery-storage, pump storage, biomass etc. can.

This means a grid with 30℅ nuclear would have to stop wind turbines and solar panels (free energy, since they are already built) instead of powering down more costly biomass. This results in more expensive renewables (as they aren’t used to their full capacity).

Yes, konstakang’s build is what I used on the Pi. There’s also ATV builds for Google Chromecast 4K on lineage os official website, which might work better depending on the VM.

I don’t know whether there’re builds alreasy available for x86.

If you want to use Android TV without Google login you must use Android TV without Google apps installed.

I’ve tried installing Android TV on a Pi 5, but then I didn’t receive Google’s 2FA notification, and after a few tries they seemingly blacklisted my device. Now the Pi uses LineageOS ATV without GApps…

Jellyfin brings and uses their own ffmpeg-version which is not impacted by Synology removing hardware acceleration support, at least according to the following page.

Community Workarounds and Tips

• Use Third-Party Media Servers: With the removal of Video Station, some users are turning to alternatives like Plex, Jellyfin, or Emby. These third-party apps offer more robust media management features and support a wider range of codecs.
