Just trying out Jellyfin for the first time. I'm also just trying out media server software for the first time, having downloaded Emby 2 weeks ago so forgive if I'm misunderstanding some fundamental concepts.

I have a series on my hard drive that has been incorrectly identified as something else, the Title is wrong, the posters are wrong, the casting information is wrong and I'd hazard a guess the subs are probably wrong too. That's fine, Emby actually got this particular series wrong as well. The difference here though, is I can't figure out what to do about it. I've seen lots of forum posts saying you can enter an imdb ID number but this is a problem because that only seems to be possible for individual episodes, not the whole series, and in any case, it doesn't appear to DO anything when I apply to any one given episode. More frustrating still, each episode in the series has somehow taken the name of the series as its episode name so they all have the same name and you can't tell which episode is which.

How do I remove the incorrect identificaiton and replace it with a manually selected correct ID? Also, importantly, will supplying a correct IMDB number or whatever else it is I need to do to correct this misidentification, cause the correct subs to be downloaded?

Is it possible to have an RSS feed of when an episode or movie has been watched by someone?

Hello everyone, I noticed that a lot of my music does not get any album art even though they correctly identified with MusicBrainz and the albums do have a cover on them there. Jellyfin does not have write permissions in the data directly where the music is, only read permissions. Though I would have expected that jellyfin uses the metadata folder for cover images not already present there. The reason Jellyfin doesn't have write permissions is that the folder is managed by nextcloud and that creates files with 750 so only read access for the group and jellyfin uses the group Does anyone know how I could solve the issue?

Log when trying to identify an album which should have edited the image:

[WRN] Unable to delete "/{{REDACTED}}/files/Musik/Everglow/Last Melody [Single]/Folder.jpg" System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path '/{{REDACTED}}/Musik/Everglow/Last Melody [Single]/Folder.jpg' is denied. ---> System.IO.IOException: Permission denied

End of inner exception stack trace

at System.IO.FileSystem.DeleteFile(String fullPath) at MediaBrowser.Providers.Manager.ItemImageProvider.PruneImages(BaseItem item, IReadOnlyList`1 images)

I tried giving Jellyfin write permissions on the folder and when identifying an album and it just decided to delete all tracks...

from the log after giving write permissions:

I've been wanting a "Next Up View All" in the main home screen of #Jellyfin #JellyFinRoku app for a long time and today someone merged it into main.

With my Parkinson's, this is going to make my Jellyfin Roku experience so much better since I won't have to go hunt and search for items that dropped off the limited list of next.

I have some 1440p videos that I've downloaded off youtube but they use either the AV1 or VP9 codec. I'd like to watch these on my phone but it can't direct play those codecs and my iGPU can't transcode them so it has to be done in software extremely slowly.

So I'd like to transcode the videos ahead of time into either h264 or h265 which my phone can direct play but I don't want to get rid of the originals. So can I have two copies of the same episode but using different codecs? How would I name them? Would jellyfin be smart enough to send the right video based on what my phone supports?

The videos are currently named like so:

'Rimworld with Francis John - Anomoly - S01E01 - An Unlikely group of researchers.mkv'
'Rimworld with Francis John - Anomoly - S01E02 - New weapons, new threats, new research.mkv'
'Rimworld with Francis John - Anomoly - S01E03 - Small colony equals few options.mkv'

Until recently I stored my media library in folders. A tedious way to manage a collection.

I set up Jellyfin on my main machine as a test. I enjoy the experience and want to migrate to a NAS, for better reachability in my network. I am a beginner when it comes to networks.

I currently use a single 20TB HDD (current usage 80%) and another 4TB HDD is around somewhere. I was wondering what my options and recommended solutions are. Should I get 1, 2, or more 20TB drives? I want some redundancy, but don't want to invest into too many drives.

Looking forward to any tips or resources to read up on. Thanks.

I've been streaming to my chromecast having jellyfin-androidtv 0.16.11 without much issues, but from a few days now everytime I try to reproduce any video, even those previously reproduced on the device, all I get is a dark screen with the controls, but nothing is reproduced.

I have updated my Jellyfin server to 10.9.7, but that does not seem to be the issue. I can reproduce media via web, via the media player (flatpak com.github.iwalton3.jellyfin-media-player 1.11.1) and the android app 2.6.1,

On the logs I can see the following:

It makes no difference if I set the app to reach the server via IP or the reverse proxy.

I have looked for open issues but have found nothing related, so I don't know if this is just me or if it would be worth to open a issue.

Is anyone able to help me understand what could be going wrong with jellyfin when I added a new movie (I have a huge collection). Jellyfin isn’t recognizing a newly added movie. It not showing it at all

It's not really a well-kept secret that the search in Jellyfin needs a lot of work. It's slow, doesn't deal with typos and commas correctly and doesn't allow searching multiple fields at once.

I made a quick and dirty proxy to enable a proper full-text search in Jellyfin while the dev team is working on the EFCore migration. It's not perfect but it's much better than what Jellyfin currently provides.

If you are running Jellyfin inside of Docker and use a Traefik reverse proxy, check out the image/repo below.

If you know what you're doing (this is Lemmy after all), the proxy is a simple ASP.NET application and works with pretty much every reverse proxy once configured.

https://gitlab.com/DomiStyle/jellysearch

https://hub.docker.com/r/domistyle/jellysearch

If you tested with any Jellyfin client not in the README, feel free to let me know. If you used any other reverse proxy than Traefik, also let me know.

I am a bit late to the party in that I only today updated to the latest version. I now see that the intro skipper plugin from confused polar bear (or whathisname...) isn't working anymore. I guess that was bound to happen after the archiving of the repo.

Is there a working fork out there? I found a few threads here and there but the only forks I saw people mention seemed to also stop working after 10.9.3? Or did that get fixed?

All Sorting tv show options works on #JellyFin #Roku except sorting by date played. Tried it with Roku app ver2.0.7 and sideloaded 2.0.6dev. Jellyfin ver 10.9.6 and 10.9.7

To replicate, go into a Library and pull up the sorting options and choose date played. neither ascending or descending does anything. All the other sort options work.

Can anyone else replicate this with #JellyFinRoku

I've tested on two different Jellyfin setups.

Works in Android TV Jellyfin App and Web

I got a Synology NAS for my children’s photos and wanted my music to be available in our LAN as well. Jellyfin looked good and is open source so I gave it a try. I am very happy with Finamp as a mobile app to play and sync my library.

I download Let's Play series off of Youtube and sort them to watch through Jellyfin at a later time. I also download the thumbnails. On June 9 I upgraded the Jellyfin server from 10.9.1 to 10.9.6 and thumbnail importing broke somewhere inbetween those two versions.

As you can see, episode 25 which I downloaded on June 7 has its thumbnail while episode 26 which was downloaded June 12 does not. This happens for all videos I've added. I've double checked that the images are not corrupt and that the file names match.

[Edit]

I rolled back to 10.9.1, did a refresh and all the missing thumbnails were picked up immediately

anyone got Chromecast with Google TV 4K working with Jellyfin? it runs Android TV, gets the Jellyfin app and then stuff starts breaking.

It can't connect to the server intermittently, playback stutters, stops, breaks... the server reports the file is direct play and no issues.

Five other devices have no problems of any kind, only this fucker has spells constantly.

We have quite a budget collected over the last 5 years, and while we're really happy to see so many in the Jellyfin community contribute to us, we want to ask you to stop!

No, really. We don't actually need your money. At least, not here and now.

We have over $24,000 in the bank, and with average monthly expenses of only ~$600, that's over 40 months (3.3 years) of runway! So, we have plenty of money for the near future.

Thus, at this time, we want you to seriously consider donating to the authors of Clients you use, instead of (or in addition to) the main project. Client support is the hardest part of the Jellyfin ecosystem to keep going, and most of them are maintained by only a single person or very small team. With the API changes in 10.9.0 and the upcoming 10.10.0 releases, they're going to be very busy trying to keep up, and thus could really use your support in a way that the core project here doesn't right now.

So, if there's a client you use every day and that you love, consider finding it's author in our list of official clients, and sending them a little something instead (or too).

No, this doesn't violate our policy of "no paid development", because donations are just that - donations. We will still not honour bug bounties or similar, and still not use our collective finance here for paid development. So don't feel like you're doing something wrong, you're not!

I'll leave this notice up until we drop to ~1 year (12 months) of remaining runway, at which time we can re-evaluate where we're at.

Happy watching!

I personally would rather see then take some of the "extra" money and apportion it to suitable client projects themselves, but I can understand them not wanting to become financial administrators in that way.

I love Jellyfin. I did think these recommendations were a bit funny however since they were so off.

Maybe the recommendations need to also look at the movies mpaa rating? Like something PG shouldn't be recommended after watching an R and especially not vice versa.

I guess it becomes complex quickly if you want to add other rating systems to the mix.
