What about The Infectious Madness of Doctor Dekker?

I’ve never played it, but perhaps Mask of the Rose?

1. LUFS is disabled
2. ID3 tags should be fine. This issue was present before I started manually tagging with MP3tag.
3. I might be wrong on the playback reporting not working, as I needed to wait for the entire track to finish for it to show in the plugin page. Testing with the official Jellyfin Desktop Client (Windows).

I went back and did some additional testing. I am unable to reproduce the issue on a completely fresh Windows Jellyfin install (10.3). I wiped all the directories before installing.

Though it took multiple attempts, the issue is still present on my main server (Linux Debian service) after adding the playback reporting plugin. I briefly added all the plugins and matched the settings and I can’t get the clean Windows server to break. I’ll have to dig deeper on the main server to see what may be causing this.

For me the issue wasn’t present at the start of 10.9, but it was very annoying for someone that would add around 15 new tracks a week.

At the bottom of this forum thread I posted some screenshots. This was a while ago, before I started dissecting my setup. Essentially, after adding a new track or album, there was about a 66% chance that it wouldn’t have the artist as you can see in the screenshots. After I started tagging my music and setting the covers to “Front cover” instead of putting them as separate jpg files, it wouldn’t pick up the cover for anything.

I spun up a fresh install of the latest version and when I removed that plugin, everything started getting the proper metadata. It was a reproducible issue.

This also happened with my home video library, where it wouldn’t get screen grabs for the thumbnails. Movies and TV series were fine though.

I’m not 100% sure on the next bit, but it also seemed like the playback reporting plugin wasn’t working at all even on the fresh server. After playing media and waiting, it would never get populated. So combine that with my previous issue, and the fact that it hasn’t had an update in a while, I thought it was just incompatible with the current version and cut my losses. I just wanted to get my server working back the way it was and it was an issue I’ve been dealing with for months, so I removed the plugin.

I haven’t done any recent testing though, and couldn’t find much discussion on if others are having this issue.

Of course this has nothing to do with what you’ve made. It’s not your fault the plugin isn’t working in my setup, and it isn’t the plugin’s fault Jellyfin is lacking the proper data for you to work with natively. Hopefully I can re-visit this issue and get it working in the future.

This looks cool! Unfortunately it requires the playback reporting plugin which I removed as it causes issues with later versions of Jellyfin (for me at least). Even with a clean server I found the plugin wasn’t pulling any data and made it so album art and artist information wouldn’t show up without a manual scan of each track. I was still able to find some interesting stats without the plugin though. Thanks!

It’s closed source, but Symfonium has had smart playlists for a while, if it’s a feature you’re willing to switch for. It’s great to see this feature in the Jellyfin server, and hopefully all the apps can implement it in due time.

I haven’t heard of Shoko. How is it different from metadata grabbers like AniDB and AniList? The website makes it seem like it just uses AniDB to tag your episodes and series.

For those on Jellyfin, there’s a plugin that can pull lyrics from lrclib. Not sure how it exactly compares to this, but it works for me.

Anyone else think we need a new unofficial desktop client? I don’t think the main one gets that many updates anymore. The last couple of updates were just to make it work with 10.9.x. There are 312 open issues. I wish I had the ability to help merge PR’s. Not that it’s a buggy mess, but some updates would be nice. Glad to see we get plenty of contending mobile apps though.

Thank you for the compilation, I’ll take a look at these.

My group is on Teamspeak. They are supposedly adding it this year, but it’s been radio silence for months.

You’re right, thanks.

Good perspective, thanks.

That’s fair. I’m making the comparison to other hobbies. If someone is not interested in roller skating, but decides to try it out because one of their friends really likes it and invites them, they may find they enjoy it… or not, which in that case they won’t go again, which is fine. Alternatively, they find a new hobby they enjoy, and selfhosting could give skills that turn into a potential career, but that’s if they really enjoy it. I don’t think it’s uncommon for friend groups to have outsiders (me) and “force” them into trying new things, but maybe my comparison doesn’t hold up here as this is a bit less about socializing.

Thank you!

Would you be willing to explain what a typed dictionary is and when it would be useful in the context of Godot?

For those that want an RTS game that doesn’t require a high APM, I’d recommend Supreme Commander Forged Alliance (FAF) and the Sins of a Solar Empire Games (which requires an even lower APM).

I know there are different use cases for each, but generally do people prefer self hosted nextcloud, proton docs, or libre office?

No, development is still stalled. You need to pay if you want the really high bit rate flac downloads. I pay and can use Deezer as a backup to Jellyfin in the event there’s a song I don’t have and I’m driving. I was looking at music fab, but it’s expensive, the Spotify downloader has worse quality, and doesn’t grab the cover art, which is probably a deal breaker for me.
