Not related to the server, but I was very happily surprised with the latest Roku Jellyfin channel. A complete refresh of everything and it’s great to see it.
You’ll want to get off Roku soon, they’re already testing preroll ads for the home screen.
I can see them doing that, I use a DNS ad-block (Adguardhome) with plenty of filters and last night, I spotted that they were able to inject two ads (standard one to the right of the channels and one at the bottom below the menu for the new Minecraft movie when they changed my background. So, they are finding ways around this stuff. I simply disabled the Sponsored themes. We are on the fence about replacing the TV later this year but not 100% sure just yet. It’s been quite buggy randomly rebooting when switching sources and other things.
FWIW AndroidTV is getting worse all the time also 😭 The only assurance we have is that the TV isn’t connected and AndroidTV is in a separate box.
In what way is it getting worse? I was hoping to move and use some patched apps and foss apps, is that being restricted?
Mostly the ads on the homeacreen for now. I assume it’ll grow beyond that soon. It’s made by the makers of YT after all.

You dropped this. 😀
Back on topic, anyone have a rec for an alternative? I basically just need Netflix and Jellyfin, and hopefully I won’t need Netflix soon (my SO keeps finding NF originals they must watch). I to use a regular remote, but AFAIK nothing provides a nice UX for Netflix w/ remote outside the official app.
I absolutely prefer something FOSS.
Minus Netflix? Kodi.
With Netflix? You’re not finding anything 100% FOSS.
I’m fine running DRM, I just want control over the OS and have a remote work.
If you want control over the OS, DRM is going to be tough to get working on a device with a remote control.
I can run Netflix on Firefox on Linux, and I can set up a remote to work with Linux. I just can’t get the controller to work on Netflix in Firefox with reasonable ergonomics.
The best I’ve gotten was Kodi running on a Raspberry Pi with a plugin pulled from Android to play media. It worked, but it did break periodically, and the UX sucked. This was a few years ago, so maybe things improved.
Why aren’t you just using Kodi?
For real. JF roku team is killing it. Latest release is so nice.
🤘 Thanks
🤘 Enjoy
My friend who’s been praising Plex for years and making fun of me for using Jellyfin instead just told me the other day he’s thinking about switching. It’s their new subscription fee that finally did it. xD
I mean i understand praising it, i still primarily use plex despite their Shenanigans and will VPN to bypass the remote streaming charge. I still have jellyfin installed but it has several issues for me still.
I have quite a large library and I still regularly have issues with matching especially on anime. It will either fail to match at all until I do it manually, or match incorrectly and I will have to manually correct it. I still frequently have playback issues for no apparent reason especially on Android where I will hit a file that just refuses to play back for no apparent reason with none of the error logs being particularly helpful on files that play perfectly in Plex with absolutely no issues, I have also been affected by the memory leak problem that has plagued many a jellyfin user. Where even if you’d simply turn the server on and never play any files it just randomly keeps growing in size more and more and more over time until the server hits oom even on a server with 128GB. This has been reported by so many users but the developers just seem uninterested in tracking it down. I have both friends and family that use my server and the device support is basically everything even remotely capable of media playback for Plex but is unfortunately just not as robust for jellyfin.
I know that in this particular subreddit I’m likely to just get downloaded for saying it but sometimes the open source solution just isn’t as good and this is definitely one of those cases. It’s been getting better has time goes on but it’s not a solid replacement yet for a lot of cases
So I upgraded and tested not adding a trusted proxy (using Traefik in front of Jellyfin) and nothing broke. Was it supposed to break or is it just that its insecure? Am I less secure by not adding it as a trusted proxy?
