Outside of Jellyfin, the computers seem to communicate just fine. Transfer speeds are what I would expect and disk read/write is usually fine as well. Like I mentioned in the post, it self-resolved since I made the post. But my concern is the same: what could be causing the underlying issue? I'll check the logs later and I'll report back

Edit: forgot to mention that I have a few 5.1 SACDs @ 24/192k that have always completely choked my system. Doesn't matter which machine or how extreme the transcoded settings are, it nukes the playback

LazerDickMcCheese OP ,

I've disabled the native antivirus and Simplewall supposedly blocks most (if not all) of the Microsoft bloat

LazerDickMcCheese OP ,

So I checked the available logs after streaming a playlist for a while, which I've never done before (probably a huge mistake on my part). I have a generic "log_xxxxxxx.log" file that doesn't seem to have any relevant info, but the only ffmpeg logs I have are related to video files from yesterday. Interestingly, the transcoding speeds seem to slow down over time; flac/wav files seem fine at first, but struggle to play after 30 minutes or so in a playlist of constant playback.

Removing ads from Smart TV YouTube app

I don't know if this is the correct community to post this. I have a Smart TV from a Greek manufacturer named TurboX. Not Android TV, Smart TV. This means that it has Internet access, has some pre-installed apps, but I can't install any other apps on it. The menus thankfully don't have any ads. However, the Youtube app has. I...

That's a really hard problem to solve. But my advice, and what was working for me last time I tried, was using the Pi-hole as an exit node and forcing as much traffic through it as possible. The only downside to this is that your Pi-hole dashboard will be less interesting because your devices will show as the Pi-hole itself. If you're already doing that, then my only guess is getting obsessive about domain blocking until it stops, and even that will have its limits.

Campaigns Can Now See What You Watch on TV. (www.notus.org)

Televisions that can stream platforms like Hulu or Max usually come loaded with technology that collects information on what viewers are watching, and buyers consent to have their viewing tracked when they open their new TV and click through terms of service agreements. Sometimes, data firms can connect those viewing habits to a...

I second this. And the transition was made easy due to anti-consumer practices. Plus, you can take your media on-the-go for free

LazerDickMcCheese ,

They have the money to do it. And historically, the CIA has done similar things globally for decades

I love the Jellyfin team so much

LazerDickMcCheese ,

I know interested people don't like to talk about it...but we, the people, should really be moving away from Discord. A bucket of water doesn't fix a burning house, ya know?

LazerDickMcCheese ,

I get your point, but that's exactly what I do. When someone say "just use discord", I drop their product/service/etc. and move on. I'm not saying everyone else should do that, but my life is too short for "support" via Discord

LazerDickMcCheese ,

Yeah, I text and call them

LazerDickMcCheese ,

Some day surely Windows and Mac will get something similar to SearXNG, then you won't have to worry about this stuff

LazerDickMcCheese ,

Yep

LazerDickMcCheese ,

Then I'd suggest SearXNG. I use public instances because no one has made a way for me to natively host it myself, but I recommend it regardless

LazerDickMcCheese ,

RethinkDNS is a great option unless you already have something in place that you want to use as well.

For example, I have a pi-hole and a server that I'd like to use 24/7. There's a few ways to do it, but I'm an idiot and need a simple, hard-to-ruin method. So I use the pi-hole as an exit node with TailScale

LazerDickMcCheese ,

Just tried, but I get an "unable to connect" error on all of my devices

LazerDickMcCheese OP ,

The fingerprint sensor doesn't work most of the time, the light sensor thinks its in my pocket when its in my hand (and thinks that its in my hand when its in my pocket), the battery started draining rapidly within a year of purchase, and much more. Is there an Oxygen release for my phone? When I checked about a year ago, all I could find was an unofficial Lineage release that seemed sketchy

LazerDickMcCheese OP ,

Ah, excuse my ignorance please. I only know about Graphene and Lineage

LazerDickMcCheese OP ,

Yes, I am. To be more specific about the custom ROM, I'm trying to find a direct link to a trustworthy source...because I've looked and couldn't find one myself

Pi-hole and Simplewall, everything except my phone is running Ethernet

What's the real world connection speed from your residential IP to your Server?

I'm using contabo and the VPS I got is advertised as 1 Gigabit. When I do a speedtest or use iperf3 to connect to public servers I get pretty close to 1 Gigabit. But from my residential IP the speed drops down to 100-250 Mbit/s. My home internet connection can handle 500 Mbit just fine....

LazerDickMcCheese ,

My plan is 500 gigs down, but my computer (Ethernet wired to the server) gets transferal speeds of about 4 megs down. Super cool

Is it worth using the windows app vs. just using Jellyfin in Firefox?

I have my JellyFin on a dedicated server outside my home. I use a domain, with and SSH certificate. Before I moved to the domain and the cert I just had an IP:Port setup. At that time JellyFin worked perfectly fine with the windows app, but after moving to the domain and adding an SSH cert, it no longer wants to connect. It...

LazerDickMcCheese ,

Jellyfin in the browser has been my preferred way to play media. I have the desktop app, but it constantly gets hung up on lossless music and movies over 480p. I could have screwed up a setting, but I don't know

Coworkers =/= friends, keep your real life separate but be friendly
