~~It might have been an issue with my set-up. I was trying to use the Jellyfin web version from my computer, which probably was not serving the files correctly. I'll have to test again soon to see whether fixes were made in the last 2 years for it :)~~

Never mind. It's because I was using Firefox, which doesn't support x265 due to licensing issues.

Wait, does the pi4 support 265 now? I meddled around with it a few years ago, and it always had to transcode 265 to 264.

To offload the storage requirements of the instance you're posting in. If everyone starts uploading images directly in the comment, the server HDD/SDD will be overloaded. Consider using a third party service and posting the link from there instead!

Yup. I'd definitely use this. Do you plan on making a git for your work? Maybe some of us would pitch in to help.

I'd love to move to a Jellyfin server as well. I have everything ready, except a stable internet provider, haha.

Do you happen to integrate Lidarr into this? I am curious how seamless it is to add new songs with just a search.

Yes, on Android. Thanks for this! ~~I initially brushed it off since I didn't see the "Import playlists" feature!~~ EDIT: It actually doesn't handle Spotify imports. I'll have to look around to find something that does that.

 

Hi! I am interested in getting a new app for playing music. Until now, I've been on the Spotify paid tier, but I hardly use it lately in order to justify keeping the subscription. I still have quite a few playlists that I would not like losing, though.

I've been looking around, and the only app I've found that's very nice is BlackHole. However, after looking at it closer, I realized that it uses some API from India that only returns Indian music when you try to import/search. I had a good laugh on that one, after seeing all my imported playlists full of Bollywood music!

I continued my search, but I can't really find something that allows you to import playlists from various services. SpoTube is nice, but it takes a long time to play songs (sometimes up to 1 minute or more after pressing the play button).

So, my question: What do you guys use to listen to music?

No, haha. They also didn't bother to check what was stolen, so they could have very well gotten 80G of memes.

I have 12, each with its own name haha. It's usually just a play on their species name though, so it is easier to remember initially :)

I wonder if this is also related to how humans have ruined some old forests' flora and fauna with improper replantation. Not sure where I saw this, but another article was suggesting that the way we have artificially replanted has led to less biodiversity due to every tree growing at the same time (thus limiting light and "food" for other organisms).

Of course, this wouldn't necessarily lead to a global change, but could be one of the pieces thst contribute to it. Even if we set up high-tech and efficient carbon farms, the planet will still struggle to maintain biodiversity...

Ah, I see what you mean! I thought that the content was not being retrieved quickly. Might be something wrong in the app, as phil just mentioned. For me, it works well on EMUI 12.

It might be the server you're using. For example, lemmy.ml has been completely down for me. Switching to another account on different server made the app work instantly 🤔
