    Ok. I missed which sub I was in, sorry. There is a Linux desktop Jellyfin app but I haven't used it myself. In my own case I am running Jellyfin on Linux. I use various clients, including web browser (laptop), Android and Roku (TV) and find it works really well. In the past I had tried with the 'connect directly to the server' route with XBMC (as Kodi was called then) and it never worked well, with similar issues those described in other comments.

    Sorry but it doesn't sound like you know what you're talking about. Jellyfin is a server. Sure you can use a web client but there are many others too

    Any of clever folk out there fancy helping me out by making me a 32x32 png ( No background ) mono image of the #Fediverse logo using the same colour as this image on my website ?
    If Aliens arrive with their tech to traverse world wouldn't our weapons pretty much look like sticks and stones to them? Also how do we not catch a disease from them or vice versa?

    OP: you and many commenters are making some significant assumptions. There's a great short story available online: "The Road Not Taken" by American writer Harry Turtledove that considers how aliens might arrive without more advanced weapons.

    You need to:

    • create the mountpoint
    • mount the drive to the mountpoint
    • Give Jellyfin permissions to access the files there

    Since you are using FAT32 which does not support file level permissions I guess this will show up as 'owned by root'. You will need to do something like this or this

    I think you're missing a key area here. The original Mozilla product was Netscape- a commercial combined web browser and email client. There used to be a number of commercial competitors in the space, e.g. Opera, Eudora, etc. Microsoft killed that market in the 1990's.

    I struggle to see how any organisation could make money out of giving away a product that costs money to produce and promote. You've suggested they could have been Proton but that's a completely different sector. We could just as easily have suggested they could have been Twitter, WhatsApp or Instagram.

  • I am considering replacing my old 50" 1080p TV which I use with (external) Chromecast and Roku. I would like a 4K display 60" or greater but I really, really don't want any smart features. I am aware that I could purchase a commercial display to achieve this and that's my fallback option. Can anyone here make any useful recommendations? I am in the UK so e.g. 'Sceptre' is not available here. In advance, with respect, I am technically capable (check my post history) but could I ask to please avoid threads along the lines of: * 'non-smart TVs aren't a thing' - fallback is a commercial display * 'Nobody wants/buys non-smart TVs' - I do * 'Any TV not connected to internet is dumb'/ 'Just don't connect it' - This is no longer true since many TVs require a setup before use involving internet access and/or will seek access via open wifi/bluetooth/HDMI. Thanks! **Edit:** Some commenters seem to be struggling with the 'why do you care if it connects?'. Some examples why: * [Roku](https://techcrunch.com/2024/03/05/roku-disables-tvs-and-streaming-devices-until-users-consent-to-forced-arbitration/) * [Samsung](https://www.theregister.com/2021/11/05/samsung_tv_ads/) * [LG](https://www.theverge.com/tldr/2021/3/10/22323790/lg-oled-tv-commercials-content-store)

    I'd like to ask about home entertainment hardware - I would have thought there would be an existing community or few but I am struggling to find any - can anyone point the way?

    She should have said - well we tried calling first but were on the phone for quite a while- you said our call was important to you and you were 'experiencing an unusually high volume of calls'...

    Two instances I have accounts with have switched to Lemmy 0.19. This is a breaking change for many apps, including Connect. Is there any news re supporting this in the near future or is it time to look for another app? **Edit:** This is now working for me (at least for 2 separate instances) with Connect version 1.0.153 (details in comments below). Thanks so much for rapid response!
