i lost the remote and cant change back to the default channel

I was curious about this too since I don't use large playlists, so I added all 3800 songs in my library to a playlist to see how Jellyfin handles that. Regarding the desktop apps, you can definitely feel the UI get sluggish. Playback seems fine though.

Jellyfin Media Player struggles to handle that many items on one page at a time and playlists don't support pagination, so opening this playlist takes five or so seconds (sometimes more). When adding a song to queue from a playlist, it queues the whole playlist and moves you to the song in the queue you wanted to play. If you shuffle, the song you pick will be the first in queue as expected. While the UI feels less responsive at first, jumping around the queue or song feels normal. Playback feels responsive to me. I did have trouble shuffling the playlist from the playlist tile without opening the playlist's page first. Not sure what that was about.

Feishin is similar in loading times, but the UI is more responsive with large lists. When jumping around a playlist, clicking another song in the queue still loads immediately, but clicking another song from the playlist page seems to create a new queue (even when not shuffling) and takes several seconds to load. I didn't think to test this on Jellyfin Media Player before I deleted the playlist, so this might be the case there too. This extra loading time when changing songs from the playlist's page is inconsistent though and seems to work as expected if you're jumping around a lot (might be a caching thing?).

Basically it takes a few seconds to load the playlist's page and another several seconds to load the initial queue, but otherwise playback seems to work well for me. Again, this is with 3800 songs; your mileage may vary, etc.

Regarding mobile: Symfonium does not (as far as I can tell) automatically pick up Jellyfin's playlists, so I have to manually import them from the app. This is just a click or two and you can import all your playlists at once. If you want to listen to music on both desktop and your phone and you make changes to the playlist, you'll have to push Symfonium's local version of the playlist to Jellyfin or replace Symfonium's local version with the remote version from Jellyfin. They don't automatically update between each other. Changes to the playlist cover do not seem to sync with those changes, so you'll have to click an extra couple buttons to update that too.

Symfonium's UI is the most responsive and loading the initial queue is immediate, but you still have to load the media from Jellyfin so it doesn't play instantly. If you have the music cached locally through Symfonium, it probably loads quicker.

Overall, you'll feel when a playlist has 3800 songs in it if you use the web player or Feishin, but Symfonium plays things handily. Syncing playlists is a little more involved with Symfonium, but overall it seems that (very) large playlists are usable with Jellyfin even if they make the UI sluggish at times and take a few seconds to queue up. Hope this helps!

Harlivy. If my comfort gays gotta bust heads and crush legs, then by god they're busting heads and crushing legs. All of Gotham is experiencing an apocalypse because two insane girlypops slayed too hard? Sucks to be an innocent bystander I guess. Shouldn't have been in the way.

+1 for Symfonium (I use Jellyfin as my backend instead of Navidrome). It's really customizable, actively developed, and well worth the few bucks that it costs.

I don't think this lends enough credit to how centralized the music industry is and the role that plays. If you want the world's music catalogue, you need contracts with like three companies. That level of centralization makes it straightforward to get a music catalogue going with basically everything someone might want to listen to, but it also severely hampers your ability to do anything those three companies don't want. If anyone's wondering why Spotify is pushing podcasts so hard, it's because that's the only way for them to get out from under the thumb of the few music megacorps that they have to license from to stay relevant. Spotify needs a revenue stream less dependent on the big three and it sees podcasts as its way out.

I'm sure music files being smaller and easier to pirate helped light a fire under the ass of the music industry to modernize, but that isn't the only factor at play here and I don't even think it's one of the main ones. If I recall correctly, Spotify is the company who went to the music labels asking for a contract. In order to show that the tech works, they had to pirate the initial catalogue until they had deals with music labels to license the music. Spotify brought their streaming vision to the music industry, not the other way around.

I believe Netflix had a good catalogue at first because every other company was sleeping on the streaming boom that Netflix was ahead of the curve on. Netflix could get good streaming license deals because nobody really cared about this little company they'd never heard of. As soon as everyone realized what was up, they scrambled to copy Netflix and pulled their libraries to fracture the streaming space.

From the start, the music industry knew what Spotify was and could be and knew how to use their leverage to keep themselves on top (Spotify isn't functionally allowed to be their own license for music creators, for example). I don't think the movie streaming space realized what Netflix was until it blew up.

I don't think the problem is that movie/tv hasn't "figured it out." The music space would be just as fractured if it wasn't as centrally organized. I think the problem is that the industries are just structured really differently, so they played out really differently.

To be clear, I'm not defending the music or movie/tv industry. I just think the situations are more nuanced than "music freaked out and got their shit together and movie/tv hasn't yet."

I love the two episodes per week schedule. And I never was able to get into adventure time, primarily because it didn't appeal to me. I like this show a lot and have enjoyed every minute of it.

I only ever hear people say the opposite. The comment you're replying to is I think the first time I've seen someone say google is better than ddg in the wild. I keep feeling like I'm going crazy when people say ddg is better than google. Google is the only search engine capable of actually finding the results I'm looking for. Half the time it feels like it's reading my mind.

I genuinely don't know what people are searching for that yields better results on ddg than google. Every time I've gotten someone to give me an example, the thing they supposedly couldn't find was the first result.

Hi, I'm one of the people who stopped playing when EAC (Easy Anti-Cheat) was introduced. I and most of my friends stopped playing for 6+ months. It genuinely became unusable for some of us between the time that EAC blocked modding and the time that most of the features that mods added were finally implemented into the game natively. The development speed and communication also shifted drastically since that event and it genuinely feels like a different team. We know what's going on behind the scenes now and get to actually have an input in upcoming features in a way that we didn't get to even just a year ago.

A lot of us have decided that these changes in development speed and communication are enough to warrant coming back. Those who disagree have left entirely for alternatives like ChilloutVR that explicitly allow modding. Things died down because the situation changed. The problems that were caused by the decision have for the most part been fixed. The people who still don't trust VRChat work on ChilloutVR now.

Also, VRChat has had a sizeable increase in its playerbase. People leaving the game was noticeable, but any lingering effects have been smoothed over. There are just a lot more people playing now.

tldr: yes, things have changed a lot. no, the people who were angry didn't "go back after a week" like some other comments suggest. a lot more people play this game now and the developers are more transparent with what they're working on. the problems that were caused by banning mods have mostly been addressed.

do… the rest of you not milk your urethra after peeing? i thought we all did that >.>

Updated again to more than 800. Jesus…

Yes! It's called uBlock Origin Lite. It doesn't have element filtering, but it works well if you just want a super lightweight adblocker.

In the two years I've watched Vaush, every single time trans people have come up, he's been the first to defend us. Not to be a walking "wHaT aBoUt ThE cOnTeXt" stereotype, but using this (very) old clip to represent Vaush is super disingenuous.

To whomever is reading this: before you hate this guy, watch one recent video from his channel or tune in to one livestream. I think you'll find that he isn't remotely the person the clips paint him as. I'm not demanding that everyone like the guy, but at least form an opinion of him based on more than just the clips shown to you by someone who hates him. Here's a video from a week ago on his second channel covering trans politics in Germany (and then getting sidetracked over the German language). You'll find a very different person from the clip above.
