Just wanted to pop in and say hello. 👋

I'll be hanging around now that Reddit is on a downward path, and will be sure to share Roku client updates here.

FYI, I sent a link to this community to the other developers.

@1hitsong@lemmy.ml would you happen to know if chapters exist on Roku? I set up Jellyfin earlier, and I can’t figure out how to chapter skip.

The Roku client doesn't handle chapters yet, but you have amazing timing with your question because just last night I started working on adding it.

Here's a very early sneak peak of it working: https://social.linux.pizza/@tgpo/111321333891007944

If you'd like to follow the development progress, here is the enhancement ticket that will be updated as the code gets updated: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-roku/issues/445

Given the last release was in April, would I need to follow the steps to install an unstable build in developer mode to get at your changes sooner rather than later once you're done? The lack of chapters was a hard pass for me so I'm back on plex at the moment, but I would like to switch over permanently. Thanks for all your hard work!

We're prepping for a release now - we're down reviewing the last 3 PRs, but my chapter code won't be a part of this one.

My chapter code is only POC right now. It's not final and isn't in unstable yet. In fact, I haven't even opened a PR for it yet. But once it's completed and merged, then yes using the unstable branch and pushing a dev build to your Roku will get you the latest and greatest functionality before it's released to the public.

If you do this, please consider posting issues and bugs you experience with unstable to the repo so we can squash them before release.

PR has been opened with my code changes to support chapters. You can view more details, a screenshot, and a link to the final demo here: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-roku/pull/1461
