When the files of movies and episodes are modified on disk and scanned again by Jellyfin, the "date added" field is modified.

This means that old items jump to the top of the Recently Added list, which I find annoying.

For this reason I've written this script, which detects these changes and sets the date to the previous value. It can be installed with docker and is simple to configure.

I agree with you about the API, it seems to be one of the first things to go.

Though, killing it would be expecially dumb in this case, as it is what made trakt famous in the first place. It's really useful to have a scrobbler for every major service, and I use it for a dumb side project.

I'd really like to know what else they think they are adding with their service that is worth $60/year. The data comes from tmdb, the trailers are youtube links, reviews and lists are created by users (when they are allowed to). Sure, they package it all together, but I wouldn't call the website a masterpiece of neither form or function.

I hope that the current backlash will make them (temporarily) revert the change, but this is still a clear signal of the path they are willing to take. I'll be looking for other services.

The blog post in their forums is titled "Freemium Experience: More Features for All".

Also, they quietly doubled the price for VIP accounts in September (used to be $30/y)

It's a path inside the container, but not inside /config. You should mount the file like this:

volumes:
  - /path/to/local/theme.css:/jellyfin/jellyfin-web/theme.css

You should put it in Jellyfin web's root folder (paths are relative to it). In the official container it's /jellyfin/jellyfin-web.

Then you just @import "theme.css";.

I've modified the normal Jellyfin theme so that the accent color can be changed.

The idea was to put some orange in the UI during halloween, and I got carried away. It is now completely configurable with a single variable and allows for easy seasonal changes, so I've decided to share it.

Here is the result:

I generally dislike custom themes, so my goal was to change as little as possible. Indeed, if used with a hue of 195, the theme should be exactly the same as the default one.

What do you think?

Nobody mentioned it, so it's either really obscure or way too obvious, but: Nirvana (1997).

A game developer finds out that the main character in his next title has become sentient and must save him from endless suffering by deleting all copies of the game shortly before it launches. I saw it many years ago, and really liked it. It hasn't aged perfectly, but all the important cyberpunk bits are there.

It is not different from how the previous shared libraries worked. I guess it's there to stop cheaters from buying a single copy of the game and sharing it with throwaway accounts.

 

A friend challenged me to score more than 100

 

I've found some discussions about hosting the Jellyfin server on lower end devices, but what about the client? I imagine the requirements to be pretty low, since a gen 2 Chromecast worked fine.

Has someone tried setting up a raspberry pi in kiosk mode? Can you suggest something cheap that would be good enough for 1080p?

I have Jellyfin installed on a remote machine, connected to my laptop and phone via Tailscale. Is it possible to cast from that machine to a gen 2 Chromecast?

From the Jellyfin instance installed on my laptop, in the same LAN, I can authenticate from the phone and cast to the Chromecast, so all the pieces work.

I have tried announcing the subnet from the laptop (--advertise-routes=192.168.1.0/24), with IP forwarding etc. The remote machine accepts the route and can ping the Chromecast (192.168.1.100). From the phone I can connect to the server and start casting. The screen shows the Jellyfin logo, but playing anything has no effect.

Has someone managed to make it work?


EDIT: As I feared, it seems it's not possible. I can't change the routing table of my ISP's router, so the Chromecast can't reach the remote server.

I'll try to find a newer Chromecast, or maybe just get a Raspberry and install the full client there. Thanks everyone!
