#jellyfin

GPU dri/by-path for Docker Compose how?

My Jellyfin config has some YAML like this.

Sometimes work

devices:

• /dev/dri/renderD128:/dev/dri/renderD128
• /dev/dri/card0:/dev/dri/card0

Occasionally when I reboot my server, I end up with no card0 and instead I have /dev/dri/card1. This breaks my Jellyfin server…

I noticed there is also dri/by-path, which I’m guessing is a more stable path than a card index… however, doing this doesn’t work for me.

No work

devices:

• /dev/dri/by-path/pci-0000:00:02.0-render:/dev/dri/renderD128
• /dev/dri/by-path/pci-0000:00:02.0-card:/dev/dri/card0

I tried with and without quotes and the result is the same. Error to start. I’m guessing Docker is failing to correctly parse the string because of the colons in pci-0000:00:02.0-card…

How’s everyone else handling this problem? I’ve been updating my compose.yaml every time the index switches, card0 to card1 to card0… but this is getting annoying now. (This is a worse problem now that I’m running Fedora IoT!)

Any thoughts?

Before my recent trip to Austin for work, I set up #pihole and WireGuard for a #VPN on a #Raspberrypi 3 I had sitting around. So I was able to connect to my #Jellyfin server and stream some shows from my hotel. (I unplugged the HDMI cable on their STB and pulled it into my laptop). Also, was able to use a VPN with pi-hole on my phone while I was out and about. Friends, it's one of the simplest and most impactful things I've done with my #homelab so far. Also gave me access to my music. Highly recommend it. The rP3 handled it all with no issues at all

@pjf@cloudisland.nz come talk/rant about #Jellyfin at #EverythingOpen2027? 🙏 CFP closes Sunday (aoe)

I want to like the new release of #Jellyfin, which was thoroughly tested and is better than the old version in every way, EXCEPT it changed the position of one button that I always use and maybe now I need to give up on computers entirely.

another quirk upgrading #Jellyfin from 10.11.11 to 12.0, the random play buttons now only queue the first entry on the current page of files. In 10, it would step through random selections from the entire (filtered) library. Problem persists in 12.1

Amusing. I wrestled and wrestled several evenings this week and finally got #ente installed #selfhosted. Much like #JellyFin before it, as soon as I got working with it I disliked it. I"m going to shut it down and try #immich. The two deal breakers for me were: No tags. Ente literally doesn't let you tag photos. It has facial recognition and "favourites." But no tags.No hierarchy. I don't understand how someone puts 60,000 photos into a series of albums that have no hierarchy. No folders, no nested albums. Just a straight, flat topology of albums. JellyFin was like that with video. No way to organize MY way. Only their way or the highway. #selfhosting

After the Jellyfin 12.0 release earlier today, I've now also released the first beta of #jellyfin for Android TV version 0.20.

The timing was a bit of a coincidence. The releases would've been near each other from the start, but I never intended it to be on the same day 😆.

This first beta is not available on our Google Play beta track. That will happen starting with the next beta release.

⬇️ Get the APK file for manual installing from GitHub:

Jellyfin 12.0 out, version number finally means something: per-row playlists kill big-library freezes; episode multi-versions like movies; native books & comics support with Bookshelf plugin deprecated; Modern layout default; security fixes included. Upgrade path: back up first, come from 10.10.7/10.11.x (usernames now case-insensitive and near-dup names break migration); full re-scan after install. #Jellyfin #SelfHosting #foss #release

I've been using #Jellyfin for a while, but I always felt a little uneasy leaving it publicly exposed to the Internet. So I wrote Gandalf to help protect me! https://skippy.net/gandalf/ #blaugust

a new #Jellyfin puzzle: on scanning my shows … mpp[3766883]: mpp_platform: can not found match soc name: raspberrypi,5-model-b brcm,bcm2712 what is an mpp when you get one home? related to this, my Movies are barred from scans again, and it was going so well: [ERR] Failed executing DbCommand ("11"ms) [Parameters=["@__date_1='?' (DbType = DateTime), @__p_0='?' (Size = 3004)"], CommandType='Text', CommandTimeout='30']" [ERR] An exception occurred while executing an 'ExecuteUpdate' operation for context type '"Jellyfin.Database.Implementations.JellyfinDbContext"'." ""Microsoft.Data.Sqlite.SqliteException (0x80004005): SQLite Error 19: 'UNIQUE constraint failed something sends a null SQL UPDATE, and the scan process aborts 😞

Three easy steps to get #radio stations with EPG into #jellyfin:

1. Find your stations stream url and convert it into a valid M3U with #EXTINF:0

2. Put that file somewhere locally and configure a new tuner device of type M3U

3. For EPG just find a onlinesource, convert the data into valid XMLTV and refresh it continously. You can now add the url als TV Guide Provider and match the channels because of different namings.

That’s it. Totally easy. 😅

Bonus: data is exposed via API

#Jellyfin cruft-clearance update: I found space to backup "short films" ~70 GB to then test, and doing Dashboard / Libraries / Libraries and on the Hamburger on Short Film clicking Remove did NOT delete any content! 🥳 Testing again, after backing up Television, which is an order of magnitude larger and full of bad or ambiguous filenames, but still backupable … given time. I clearly will have metadata to fix for a while. The program I wrote for Cage's mesostics, seeking previously unused syllables from biblical names when Hebrew rules are different and OCCASSIONALLY, less and less, requiring human assistance, was also numbingly tedious. John called it, "knitting with my computer" 😊
