This sounds like a good idea.

That is why i keep most media as AVC/ACC mp4s. So to avoid transcoding. All video is 1080p or less. On a 1 Gb line.

Jellyfin on arch behind nginx. I connect with VPN, through NAT or on the local network. What else to say? I have noticed that syncplay is significantly more reliable through nginx. Not sure why that is. But it is still fragile. I’ve had this issue unresolved so long that I am just living with it. If it works, great. If it doesn’t, then i don’t use it.

Clients: firefox, jellyfin client, chrome, android client. The issue is pretty consistent across them all.

I mostly keep 8bit AVC/ACC, 2-channel mp4s. Some h265 as well. I have not noticed a pattern. Syncplay seem agnostic to encodings and filetypes.

I get the feeling that i am far from alone on this issue. There are threads out there.

Jellyfin ia great! But syncplay breaks if you snease.

Gonna require some more wise investments in open source and free software. Which require awareness from decision makers.

Probably cause kids ridicule you hard if you are wrong or stand out. When you grow up, you might learn to have your own opinions, but you might never unlearn the various defens mechanisms and feelings of ridicule that developed as a result of kids around you scrutinizing you and your opinions.

They don’t want to hear it cause it is uncomfortable. And they feel like they are loosing respect and getting attacked. They rather sweep it under the rug and forget about it, sometimes not learning from it at all. Humans are also lazy.

Being wrong gracefully is a learnt skill.

TV is a legacy technology at this point. The quality of TV content is low and the ratio of content to ads is extremely poor. For this reason I have not watched TV for like 15-20 years now.

I don’t have a monitor in my bedroom either. That is where I go to sleep and sex.

Need alternatives to have built-in, easy to use screenshare with audio. And of course great noise filtering on voice chats.

How well does jellyfin work on a rpi? How many simultaneous 1080p users with AVC\ACC media can it do? Active cooling?

Ooh, that is cool! I like gnome.
