  • Takes half a minute to start playing, which gets annoying real quick when a toddler gets involved with all the short videos.

    Random buffering every 10-15 minutes on most 1080p as well as 4k videos.

    Random buffering every couple of minutes on certain videos - the whole of the office us is the last one I remember.

    Crappy multi audio track support - some of them play, but most don’t. What was most infuriating at first was jellyfin happily selecting the track I want in UI and then just playing the default one anyway.

    The UI is kinda crap - I understand moving on a tv screen is more difficult, but god damn - what jellyfin is doing with arrow navigation is plain masochistic.

    When it works - it’s beautiful. But it rarely does so for long enough.


    I really want to like it, but it’s doing its best to push me away.

    And before you suggest anything - I’ve already tried everything there is to try that’s available on the open internet. Happy to hear something that’s never been posted anywhere, though!


  • I can only vouch for my setup; many variations are available.

    • Nextcloud - files, photo autoupload, contacts, calendar
    • Postfix and dovecot (and a bunch of friends) - email
    • Pixelfed - private instagram. Can federate, but I’ve never enabled that.
    • Opnsense - firewall, vpn, adblocking via unbound. Wireguard is my choice, but any would do. I get all my lan stuff available everywhere.
    • Jellyfin - media library. It’s kinda sucky, though, thinking of going back to plex, unfortunately.
    • Lemmy - well. You know what it is :)
    • Graphene on a pixel
