    Come on now. I know that asking for 1.3.1 is pure madness… But can’t we get a beta version of 1.3.0 maybe?

    If the nightly version is good, just put out a new release after 5 years. Are they shooting for some milestone or something? I guess I should look into it myself…

    (Really tho I’m glad this project is still active and I’ll check out the nightly version.)




  • Jellyfin has been fairly clunky for me too.

    But I don’t think you’re going to gain much just by ditching the media player in jellyfin. I feel like the overhead is scanning, scraping, and displaying the media (ie. the browser). Then playing the media is just loading a player that you would need anyway. You might be able to hook up an external player but I doubt that would help much.

    Personally I use Kodi instead but I think you’ll run into the same issues there.

    The problem probably isn’t the software but more the 15+ year old hardware. It’s more suited for like a PiHole than a media center.

    Well you already have Linux on your TV. Unfortunately it’s android which is capitalist crap. They’ll no doubt make it extremely difficult to remove their malware. Even if you could overwrite, you would still be using the shitty computer inside your TV.

    Like other people have said, I think the best solution is using an external machine. I use an older laptop running Kodi for my TV. It’s pretty awesome. Just make sure your machine has the specs for your needs. It shouldn’t be hard to find something more powerful than the TV.


  • Do you guys just have flawless experiences or what? … NVIDIA

    Never had a flawless experience with NVIDIA. Hopefully their grift dies and gets replaced with RISC-V or similar open source…

    Otherwise my linux machines have been awesome.

    Am I missing something and it doesn’t have to be this hard

    Nothing was missed. You said in your post that you’re using NVIDIA. No, it doesn’t need to be that hard.

    is this what Linux is?

    That’s what proprietary tech is. I definitely wouldn’t blame open source projects for the widespread abuse/failure of technology under capitalism.
