Ah, so you’re a waffle guy!

I’m not sure there is. The whole point of these anti-cheat systems is to detect running on modified setups that allow for the injection of code. An emulator is one such system.

Anti-cheat “compatibility” means allowing software kernel level access and after Crowd strike I think that tide will be turning even on Windows.

Anti-cheat will change. Not Linux IMHO.

…because removing somebody’s kernel maintainer priv and the industrialised genocide of people is remotely comparable.

Not the west. The global community.

…and should Israel be under sanctions? Absolutely.

personally i don’t agree with sanctioning foss communities.

Foss communities aren’t being sanctioned. Whole countries are. It’s the same limitation whatever enterprise you’re in.

If Olympians have to renounce their country to take part in global competition, why do you not think a software developer wouldn’t have to do the same to be involved in a global project?

Lol! Why should software get an exception over any other industry?

Stupid or not, it is the state of the world. It’s not down to Linus to do anything but live and work within the situation constructed by the governments of nation states.

The cold war is reborn and this time it’s warmer. Do people not understand that before 30 years ago no communication occured with countries behind the iron curtain. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine put us on a path back to those kind of relations.

Kodi isn’t commercialised. I’m not sure what you’re referring to. It’s open source and always has been.

I also have the *arrs running on that same box so new episodes appear automatically. They require a browser or other client, so I didn’t include it in my list. They just run in the background.

The AI bubble is currently grinding my gears on this. “XXX is an open source model”. No, it’s not. Do I have access to all of the information necessary to recreate it? No, I don’t as nobody releases training data.

Training data is the source of these models. Without it, they are just free use.

The trouble is that “core” is just that. The heart of the processor. There’s a lot of shared state in the caches and the TLBs which is all common to multiple cores.

So that one doesn’t talk to the Jellyfin process. It just understands the way Jellyfin organises things on disk. Right?

You then access the files via NFS, SMB or WebDav (the horror!)

Just checking I understand.

A few things for me:

• I had most of the parts to build a low power machine that’s passively cooled. No noise whilst watching video.
• I can have a locally stored library so don’t need a NAS running 24/7 elsewhere in the house supping power.
• I can have multiple things running on it like games as well as media giving me a PC gaming console (fans come on at that point).
• Never have to drive it through my phone or a tablet. It’s just on the TV remote. Ease of use is great.
• No money to Amazon, Google or similar companies that just want to data farm me.

Kodi works very well for me with a local library. Serving it from Jellyfin was a mess (Jellycon). I think primarily this is a Kodi problem as really it should support DLNA servers much much better, and then a add-on wouldn’t be needed.

I was asking the op what desktop environment they’re running, in response to their question

…and I was informing you that, given they are looking for an alternative to Kodi, they may not be running a DE.

There are differences in pronunciation, at least for my southern British dialect. “Your” is said “yorr”. “You’re” is said “yeur” and is far closer to the “you are” it comes from. It’s just said at speed blending the words.

At this point I think speculation attacks are almost being accepted as the price of having high performance processors. It’s almost impossible to rewind all non-architectural state when you hit a mis-speculated branch.

None.

If somebody is using Kodi they’re probably running in a kiosk style. On my install I don’t even have XOrg or Wetland installed. Kodi is just running on kernel level graphics buffers (GBM).

Yes jellyfin is a server, and the question asked was what to replace Kodi with. Kodi is a frontend. Jellyfin doesn’t solve the problem.

Kodi is a frontend.

Jellyfin is a server.

Jellyfin is not a replacement for Kodi. Jellyfin would replace OPs WebDAV server, but that’s not the question being asked.
