How does Jellyfin compare to Kodi?

manwichmakesameal,

Different use cases.

AbsurdityAccelerator,

You can’t really compare the two. Kodi is a media player. Jellyfin is a media server and has a bunch of clients to access that sever. There’s even a kodi addon to connect to Jellyfin. It’s called jellycon and I am experimenting with it now.

vortexsurfer,

They work great together. I have jellyfin as my media server / manager /backend, and kodi on my nvidia shield connected to my TV as my main media player / frontend. In kodi, the jellyfin plugin syncs all metadata from jellyfin to kodi’s library, and streams the media from my jellyfin.

TootSweet, in Any automated method to check for basic OPSEC mistakes whilst posting content online?

What sort of opsec mistakes do you have in mind? Something having to do with the content of the post like PII, credentials, credit card numbers, etc? Stylometry data points? Something about how they/you are posting like whether their user agent indicates they’re using an outdated browser?

Also, whose posts are you hoping to scan? Your own? Are you a Lemmy instance runner who wants to warn your users or something?

What’s your threat model? Who are you trying to guard against and what are you trying to keep them from getting from these posts?

MigratingtoLemmy,

Thank you, I should have mentioned my threat model and needs more clearly.

I am looking to scan my own posts/comments for stylometry statistics, for the most part, but PII would be nice. I’ll deal with the browser-agent, Cookies, IP etc.

Threat model would likely be to prevent people who might be wanting to link my identity with my online persona. Obviously, the government is excluded since they can just mine the IP from Lemmy mods and get to me. This is someone who is interested in my identity and will use FOSS/some proprietary tools to link my identities

toasteecup, in Kroger (grocery and pharmacy) Sued for Sharing Sensitive Health Data With Meta

Can we get a link for something to the article?

toasteecup,

Found an article.

hipaajournal.com/kroger-class-action-pharmacy-pat….

Having read it, this smells more like a legal firm that makes money from suing a shit ton of companies and occasionally being right ratherthan any real evidence of the patient data disclosure.

RQG, in When a service advertise as 100% open source, do you expect the website to be open-source too?
@RQG@lemmy.world avatar

Only if the website is part of the product. Like if to use the product I have to login on the website or am forced to regularly use it or whatever. Then if it is advertised as 100% open source I’d probably be like ‘is it though?’.

possiblylinux127, in Plex Discover Together shares a bit too much. ...

Jellyfin is so much better than Plex

Vexz,

Imo only in terms of privacy. I tried it a few times over like two to three days but I always went back to Plex. Jellyfin is a nice piece of software though. I can imagine my switch will happen in a few years.

possiblylinux127,

Its better in terms of basicly everything for me. Plex is a pain and simply isn’t as polished

You must be kidding? Jellyfin is years behind in every aspect except being free software. The best part is that you can’t disable transcoding, which is either insane, malicious or plain incompetent. As soon as that’s an option we can start talking about the rest of it

possiblylinux127,

We clearly have had very different experiences. Transcoding is optional and you can change it in the media player settings. (It works a lot like YouTube)

Also transcoding requires very little overhead on Intel systems so I would just transcode to the resolution of your device.

MayonnaiseArch,
@MayonnaiseArch@beehaw.org avatar

Well sure, I meant disabling transcoding and having it play anything. And it’s not about overhead, it’s just that I want to decide what my hardware does - I don’t want transcoding at all, ever, never ever. Not even when I’m using mobile data. The problem was always that jellyfin simply can’t play files which any player can play. I understand I didn’t really say what the issue was, sort of thought playing media files should be the bar

Please open an bug ticket!

I’ve used Jellyfin for years and not had any issues with playback, let alone every single video file.

Additionally, I’ve been a programmer on the Roku client for over a year and again, never heard of someone having an issue playing every single video.

MayonnaiseArch,
@MayonnaiseArch@beehaw.org avatar

Not every single one, just the ones I tried. My tv can play anything using videolan or nova player, or anything else for that matter. I have to install jellyfin again, will do. It’s been very strange for me, with people praising jelly when it just never worked for me. And I avoided plex like the plague, but for some reason it works. Anyway, will check and file

deeply_moving_queef, (edited )

Thisis how you disable transcoding.

LesserAbe, in When a service advertise as 100% open source, do you expect the website to be open-source too?

No, I don’t expect a company’s website to be open source, just their primary product or service

JimboDHimbo, (edited ) in Is YouTube starting another attack on third party clients?

God I hope not, imma go check.

Edit: NewPipe still works.

Murdoc, (edited )

First thing I did when I read this. Works for me too. I’ll have to check Invidious later.

Nevermind, I’m blind.

neme,

There’s fork that gets updates

helpImTrappedOnline,

Thanks for the suggestion, this openboard fork has been great the last two weeks.

possiblylinux127, in How much privacy will I lose if I switch to e/OS

Not much

givesomefucks, in Plex starts narcing on its own users' anime and X-rated habits with an opt-out service, and it's going terribly

Article says if you added “friends” to share what you’re watching, those are the only ones who get the email about what their “friends” are watching…

And it just reports content on your Plex that’s registered on IMDB…

Like, it’s not plex spying on your search history and reporting what pron you like to your friends.

If you have porn on your plex:

  1. Why?
  2. Maybe don’t sign up “friends” so they can see what you’re watching…
plz1,

You do know IMDB has porn listings, right? And “friends” includes people you share a library with, in either direction.

  • givesomefucks,

    Yeah, that’s a lot more fucked up.

    Share one movie and it tells them everything now?

    Even libraries have options to be shared, if it’s recommending from non shared libraries that’s real fucked up and sounds like a bug and not intentional

    sir_reginald, in How much privacy will I lose if I switch to e/OS
    @sir_reginald@lemmy.world avatar

    it depends.

    you’ll definitely be loosing security, which can turn into loosing privacy if you get affected by malware.

    you’ll also be loosing privacy if installing proprietary apps, since GrapheneOS has features like storage scopes and a better permission system that help minimizing privacy issues.

    I think that locking your bootloader in a Pixel is possible regardless of the ROM you install.

    Anyway, I think that there’s no real benefit of installing any other custom ROM in a Pixel other than GrapheneOS. You’ll be just loosing out in security and potentially privacy for no real reason.

    sudneo, in Proton Drive Camera Backup has Arrived!

    Thanks for sharing, I was not aware of it, and it worked like a charm.

    bbbhltz, in How much privacy will I lose if I switch to e/OS
    @bbbhltz@beehaw.org avatar

    Not sure if you can relock the bootloader

    Their site doesn’t include that info

    doc.e.foundation/devices/panther

    /e/ is a “degoogled” experience, but as noted on their site and by others here:

    Google Services are replaced by microG and alternative services (see below for more details)

    For a regular uninformed user like myself (I just use the stock ROM on my phone because I am stuck with it) I read that as:

    We made this experience as frictionless as possible at at a cost.

    The friction here would be banking and/or tap-to-pay apps that I think cause some issues for some people (please correct me if I am wrong).

    So, you would lose something that is offered by GrapheneOS and gain a different interface and access to apps that have a hard requirement for GSF.
