Uhh, interesting! Thanks for sharing.

No, it isn’t.

EDIT: I quickly want to add that Jellyfin is still great software. Just please don’t expose it to the public web, use a VPN (Wireguard, Tailscale, Nebula, …) instead.

Electron. Many apps nowadays are just headless browsers and browsers are huge and complex. It’s nice from a development perspective, because you can (re)use web tools for desktop apps but it’s very resource hungry.

It’s been a while since that I set this up, so take this with a grain of salt. I have these two plugins installed:

• Chapter Segments Provider
• The older Intro Skipper

I’m honestly not sure if I even need both - maybe the Chapter Segments Provider is unnecessary, even though it’s official and newer. I don’t understand exactly how it works from the docs.

However, Intro Skipper gives you a new scheduled task named “Detect and Analyze Media Segments”. Use this to extract metadata about media segments from your library.

Now that the server knows about some media segments you need a client that can handle them. I’ve had success with the Android TV App (check the settings) and the Web interface should support them too.

I didn’t need to configure anything aside from that, as far as I can remember.

The media segments feature has been released as of 10.10.0 and it still needs a plugin. Still feels a bit clunky but works already on my Android TV box. I guess there will be more polish in future versions, now that the groundwork is done.

… Nebula…

HTTP 418

You need more Excalidraw in your life.

I can recommend Restic with Wasabi S3 as cloud storage backend.

if the database “can’t handle it” […] that proves that they make poor choices.

Exactly, the database should never even have to handle the password in it’s original form and hashing algorithms don’t care about special characters.

As a German I sadly agree.

I’ll definitly check it out!

Thank you!

What movie is this from?

The Intro Skipper Plugin utilizes the new media segments, afaik.

Optical Character Recognition

Like OCR?

Having a solution that works for you is never a bad thing.

Now it comes down to what you want to archive: Do you want something that just works? Great, you’re done - now go on and do some other things that you like, that’s perfectly fine. Or do you want to learn more about servers, virtualization, linux, networking and selfhosting in general? Then there are a million ways to get started.

I’d suggest to setup a little lab, if you haven’t already. Install Proxmox on your server and run CasaOS inside a virtual machine. Now you’ve learned about hypervisors and virtual machines. Afterwards you could create a second virtual machine to play around - maybe install debian and get used to the linux cli. Install docker manually, run some apps using docker-compose. Now you’re already doing some stuff that CasaOS does under the hood.

The possibilities are endless, the rabbit hole is deep. It can be a lot of fun, but don’t force youself to go down there if you don’t want to.

This does not actually work, right? Right?

Thanks for your response! It wasn’t my intention to sound overly critical. Congratulations on your spectacular growth and good luck for the future! I’ll definitly keep an eye on ChartDB.
