Gods I need to replay it and go around slapping the English, again.

Yeeeee. I think this is because browser playback requires transcoding, where as MPV is like VLC, in that it can play all the file types and codecs.

Jellyfin to MPV Shim.

There’s a systemd OOM service that can be setup. I use CachyOS and they have it as a checkbox to turn it on or off.

My older Yamaha receiver has what they call Surround AI. It automatically boosts or lowers sounds proportionally to counter every movie having shit mixing. It’s amazing, many times I’ll see a movie in theater, and once it’s done I realize I’ll need to rewatch it at home to understand like half of what was said and I missed.

All my friends remember when by about +/-3 days. Every year I invite everyone to meet for food and drinks one night.

Retail has become a very tiring roller coaster. Season by season things shift wildly from mega fun, to dog shit. And it makes no sense. The WoW team has to have all the metrics on what people like and don’t like, yet they’ll go double down and try something that was universally hated just 1-2 years ago. The biggest is when they cater to casual players, everyone loves it. So 1-2 seasons later they cater to the hardcore and everyone leaves and the game sucks.

Actually, yes there is! Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC. massgrave.dev

I’ve run it on and off for about 6 months. Just switched to it as daily driver. Absolutely love it. Arch but with automatic x64v3/4, including Wine & Proton?! Sign me up. Which is installed with an fantastic gaming meta package, and I regularly get ~10% FPS boost. Excellent default kernel, too.

Thanks, I hate it.

!I’m saving it to be a menace in friends’ Discord!<

Reading their reply reminded me:

When you first install Jellyfin’s repo, and then addon, the initial setup starts. It will ask you if you want to use it Native mode or Plugin mode. Chose Plugin, Native has been deprecated and won’t work. Plugin mode now basically just points Kodi to where the video files live on the server with Jellyfin. For me it still eliminates ALL transcoding, including HDR, subtitles, and Dolby Atmos/DTS-X.

Then the extra addon Kodi Sync makes Kodi play nicely with Jellyfin’s internal database, and makes progress and newly added media sync instantly and in the background.

Their documentation is very good, just remember Native Mode is deprecated and Plugin Mode now does the same thing.

Did you use the addon where you have to access Jellyfin from the Addons menu and then use the weird UI with way too many sub-menus? Their own addon where you add their repo is the best IMO, it adds all your jellyfin media (except live tv) to Kodi’s native UI/categories. So all the movies show up under Movies, get their own card, can be opened to see all the scraped online data, like actors, plot, and posters. Same for music and shows.

I personally just love Kodi. It’s UI is probably the most intuitive UI I’ve ever used. It’s just so clean and simple, and CoreELEC makes it fast and efficient. The only media format it can’t play is Dolby Vision, but all my media that has DV has other HDR fallbacks.

Then if I wanna watch something not on my TV with N2+ everything is synced with Jellyfin, so all my progress is saved and I can for example, pick up on a show where I left off watching it on my tablet with their app. A best of both worlds setup for me.

Don’t like Kodi? Or problems?

I have their N2+ and its a fantastic device. I use their CoreELEC for Kodi though, which I then use Jellyfin’s add-on that syncs with Kodi’s library for all the info and watch progress.

Man, years ago I grabbed an add-on for WoW that made a database of everything across all characters. It tracked gold, items, etc, and playtime… I was not prepared to see i had over a year of playtime… Which granted, includes AFK and time in queues, but still.

The woman in grey, in the middle of the thumbnail, looks like she had surgery done to look like the gigachad meme.

Correct, for Linux atm it’s mainly app image only for v3 versions.

Edit: for anyone using any app images, I highly recommend Gear Lever to manage them, including updates.

I like Zen so much I stopped browser hopping. It has sane defaults, vertical tabs default, and it’s x64_v3 optimized speed is nice. Default theming is nice, too.

Pipewire can adjust the sample rate on the fly to match what all is playing, so maybe if there is a hypervisor that can do the same?

+1 for Cachy, its Arch with cheat codes for speed.
