If the jellyfin android app didn’t encode the files and just served them like the web UI that would be utterly amazing.
I can play the file via VLC with hardware decoding, jellyfin should be able to do the same.

The android application has multiple “players” available to it.
Web player
Integrated player
External player
Sounds like you want to be using the integrated player so that you can direct play on your device?

You can start by opening the bag where you store the dunce hat. 🤣

Turns out it’s ASS. It forces transcoding.

Ugh yeah, I ran into that previously. In fact a post on that is still on the jellyfin subreddit from some time ago. It was real annoying to figure out.

That will get fixed eventually, it took plex years to get ASS support working properly, its a complex format to render client side, particularly when its doing the fancy moving overlay stuff to pull of tricks like replacing text on a poster or sign and such. Its one of the few things still holding me from totally switching over to Jellyfin.

Turns out it’s the subtitles. As I watch a lot of anime it’s either good subtitles and transcode, or bad subtitles and direct. As the extra styling is not covered by the application
It’s true I could change it to external player but then you lose half the features…

For instances like this, you could either use the Jellyfin plugin that extracts embedded subtitles, such that they are stored in an .art file and don’t need transcoding, or set up Bazarr for the same (amomg handing all your subtitle needs).
I found that I preferred Bazarr, especially with notifications through Gotify, as I would directly see what took place when a subtitle was pulled, where as the Jellyfin plugin felt a bit like a black box.

Discord invite is expired, but it could be a mobile issue because apparently invites being invalid only when opening on mobile is a thing I’ve experienced…

I just double checked it and it’s set to never expire.

They definitely are in need of developers, there’s an open ticket for memory leak issues and I just checked last week with the latest Master branch and it still exists at least on my system. Even if you just start the server and then never interact with it in any way whatsoever never load the interface play anything the memory just slowly grows and grows and grows until the system runs out of memory.
It also still has a lot of pretty basic media matching errors where it will pick the wrong show for files for some reason or just fail to find the show at all. I’ve seen lots of cases where the only way to match an anime is to use the Japanese name in the search even though that brings up the English name metadata and other Oddities like that. All of my stuff is organized and named by sonar using a very clean format that should be very friendly to finding metadata
i actually know a number of developers that are interested in jelly fin as a concept but when I ask if they are going to contribute they just go “eww no it’s c# and .net i ain’t touching that”. Perhaps the developers should consider a rust rewrite lol, get the rust hype devs.
I’m been wanting to ask for a while, and now seems like a good time.
Why do some programmers hate C# so much? What are the reasons for “eww no it’s c# and .net i ain’t touching that?”

i asked a few people and got the following answers
"cuz:
1: its fake java
2: eats memory like java
3: .net on linux is l-o-l
4: unlike java there is no C# kotlin
5: other better things exist (java, javascript, go) "
“the biggest issue with C# is that its just a fucking pain in the ass to use” (this one got several uses of a “yup” emoji reaction)
“wtf is a compiler macro and why would i use one”
“I dislike async/await garbage in most languages, this includes C#
like you need to designate some functions async and others are non-async and sometimes you run into a situation where you need to block on async from sync and you’re basically fucked”

The language itself is great, but Microsoft the docs are sometimes horrible or outdated.
And most things feel like magic that you can’t or don’t need to understand. E.g. if you set up a modern asp.net project it’s some huge boilerplate with configuration files and what not…
Also standards often change… E.g. try figuring out what the best GUI framework is to create a full-fledged Desktop app in C#. There’s like a few different ones, and most are for basic mobile-style apps or not really mature. The best I found so far is WPF, which is kinda old though and everyone thinks it’s dead.

Thanks for sharing, will check it out to see if there’s anything I can help with.
Come join us on Roku. We have fancy hats!!!
I’m not approving any hat expenses
What if we put a cap on the expenses?
Got to keep a lid on the budget.
You’re just brimming with ideas Johnson, you’re hired!
How about a nice selection of American cheeses?
I wanted to join, but I think I’m good, thanks.

😆
Government cheese for all! Little American flags for others
Edit: I’m Canadian
What’s a roku?
The streaming device that is the easiest* to start programming on!
Why is this upvoted? Joke?
Joke.
I submitted a pull request that was shut down and the only feedback was “I don’t think this is the way we’d do it.”
I know managing community contributions is a big task but if you want people to volunteer, a baseline amount of effort should be made to enable it.
It’s also helpful to have automated tests to increase confidence that a change won’t break existing features.
Link?
They are probably talking about this one: github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-web/pull/3522
There was a baseline effort there. Your PR wasn’t a proper fix, but more of a hack which also isn’t in line with how a proper UI would display things.
Funny how it takes a call for devs for everyone to voice their concerns and suggestions
Just a question, as I couldn’t find anything. What is this for? opencollective.com/jellyfin/expenses/163979
