Have you told the library to rescan after making the change?

I think all the existing answers are on the basis of creating a new Linux VM.

And if I understand you correctly, you already have a bare metal Linux install that you want to run whilst Linux is up.

This is the best search result I could find: https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?t=93437

It sounds like Virtualbox will indeed create a pseudo vhdx that points to a real partition, but windows is going to give you permissions drama.

The above link is out of date though, so its best viewed as info rather than guide.

Good luck.

I don’t think that’s a use case the developers really envisaged.
I know under movies (and possible shows as well), you can specify versions:
https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/server/media/movies

But I think you’re expected to select the version at playback time.

When I’ve had this issue, I’ve just transcoded to a format that all my targets can read without drama and kept the resulting file.

If your keen to experiment, I’d be curious to hear the outcome.

A lockdown browser?

If you need to use windows because of a software issue, not a hardware issue, you’re probably best off running windows in a VM.
That way your linux install is making the WPA3 connection, and as far as the Windows install is concerned, it’s on a wired lan.
This has the added benefit of not having to reboot, you just always start linux and turn the windows VM on and off as required.

As /u/rezz@lemmy.world said, you can try to force a scan of the library. Log into the admin and hit the big “Scan All Libraries” button, then give it some time.

A refresh of that page should show a progress meter.

In order to encourage more accurate detection (assuming it can find/access the new file at all), there are advised naming schemes for your files. See here for a basic overview: https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/server/media/movies

I prefer to include the full name, year and imdb info of a movie, ie Citizen Kane isn’t just “Citizen.Kane.mp4”, it’s:
“Citizen Kane (1941) [imdbid-tt0033467].mp4”
based on the information that’s publically available here https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0033467/

Even if you don’t enable imdb itself for the metadata lookup, that will give you an almost guaranteed detection during a library scan.

If this sounds like too much work, there’s several automated tools for naming your personal dvd rips, such as Radarr.

If it’s still not being detected, it’s time to dig into the logs and find out WHY it’s erroring.
Is it permissions?
Is it naming?
Is it the phase of the moon?

My gut suggests it’s a font issue, like librewolf is using a system font and firefox is using embedded or downloaded fonts.

backing that up with a search, I see there’s lots of people complaining of font rendering issues of various types in the librewolf subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/LibreWolf/search/?q=font

I don’t know what your fix is, but I hope this helps guide you.

.1 was hotfixes to do with the major release.
Everything since then appears to just be shipping features as soon as they are proven stable.

I’ve updated 10.9.1 -> 10.9.2 -> 10.9.3 (and I’m about to do .4) and I just manually fire off the trickplay generating task after each update.
It quickly walks through the files that have already been done and then resumes processing from where it left off.
Currently at 13% after like 10 days or whatever it is.

This requirement is designed to be hard, and as such is a major red flag to me.
What else is this company going to be difficult with?
Can i only get customer support or cancel my account in person, between 9-4 on the 2nd Friday of the month?
I would consider alternatives, if possible.

Looks like it’s a manual process.
It also looks like no Jellyfin developer is creating the builds on Flathub and that some random member of the flathub community did it.

Whilst the devs provide instructions for all manner of install methods, the preferred version is definitely via docker.

Yeah, I can see it now.
I can only assume that the post hadn’t propagated to my server 3 hours ago.

Can’t tell if you’re joking, but a Request For Comments is effectively a proposal for how a process should be performed.
Some of them are eventually ratified as internet standards by the IETF.
Plenty of them remain useful as defacto standards even without formal acknowledgement.

Short answer no.
Plex works by having a centralised server run by Plex themselves, that facilitates your client connecting to your server.

The external facing part of Jellyfin server is basically a web server, and it’s a bad idea to expose that to the internet without putting a reverse proxy in front of it (hence the mention of NGINX above).
Another option is to have a VPN connection to where you are running Jellyfin and then only access Jellyfin pseudo locally (so potential security problems aren’t a big concern). This introduces other complications if you want to access it remotely via things like Roku or Chromecast, especially if you have multiple external (and probably not tech savvy) users.

I want to stress that none of this is prohibitively expensive or hard, but doing it involves learning and effort.
All the information and programs you need are available online for free.

If you only wanted to use Jellyfin at home (server in the cupboard, client on the tv), none of this other stuff matters. If you want to access Jellyfin remotely, and the idea of running a reverse proxy or a vpn server with the corresponding exposed ports and domain configuration sounds scary, Jellyfin is probably not for you.

I agree, that’s why I said “and able”

You can interoperate with googles RCS.
If you are willing and able to enter a partnership like Samsung, you can do it fully (including encryption support etc).

Google are determined to not make it easy, and I agree with you, it appears to be yet another messaging land grab.

Trying to put myself in their headspace for a moment, one justification for making it hard is to stop thousands of apps coming out declaring “full RCS support!” through the APIs, then screwing the pooch (through poor security or deliberate back doors or or or).
Right now Google are desperately attempting to make RCS happen, after almost a decade of trying and failing to make various carriers play ball.
They do not want any bad press about how feature poor/insecure/slow/buggy it is right now.

Only Google can make an RCS app

Yes and no.
You don’t need to make your own OS, but you do need to implement support for the RCS protocol within your app, rather than piggyback on Googles APIs.

I don’t like it, but there’s no legal requirement for google to provide those APIs, like they did with SMS etc.

pihole blocks ads by refusing to return dns results of known ad hosting URLs.

Chromecast ignores your DHCP supplied dns UNLESS 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 are inaccesible.

People who’s bothered to do this have added static routes to make all requests on port 53 go to the pihole.

Windows XP is basically firmware at this point, and has been for over a decade.

Lots of proprietary hardware that works perfectly, will not work on newer versions of Windows due to lack of drivers.

I see it constantly in factory situations with scales, scanners and robot controllers, it would only be worse for million dollar x-ray machines.

it’ll work just like SMS does now

I agree with this part of your statement 100%.
It will work POORLY.

Whether it’s in the same app or simply a different colour like SMS is currently, it’ll be a half assed implementation, designed to segregate your iphone and android friends.

Got an existing iphone group chat? Bet you can’t add an RCS participant to it.
Create a new RCS group chat so you can include everyone? Bet it’s missing features that you’d get in imessage.
Receive a high resolution video from a friend via imessage? Forward that to another friend via RCS and they’ll receive 5 blurry pixels.

And throughout all of this, apple will blame the RCS protocol and say “We’re actively working with GSMA to improve RCS”.

No one trusts apple for the very simple reason that they have a habit of saying the quiet part out loud: Tim Cook Says ‘Buy Your Mom An iPhone’
