yea, books, especially pdf, which is the oldest standard for file sharing way before ebooks were a thing should display across all eco systems. It kinda appears to me that it's allot to do with the searching for book thumbnails on internet etc.. I don't care much about that, as long as I can tell what the name is and can display and read it.
Seems so simple but I guess so hard lol.. you are ahead of me with logs and knowledge it seems. But the whole idea, for decades now of the portable document format was that it was standard across all platforms. You could read it correctly accross all operating systems etc. That was the whole point lol.
The fact it does not display these natively, especially from a home server seems archaic to me or nonsensical at least lol.
I do appreciate the community and the help.
Some of it maybe naming for all files but honestly a name is a name and if you are just pointing to it over your local network it should not matter the name. but it appears it might.
I also find that it is better to put files in their own folder, not really practical with hundred of books, but for shows and movies it handles them better that way.
For those watching it would also be nice if it displayed duplicates, some times movies are duped on purpose, lower bit rate etc. on purpose. It would be nice if program automatically put them in a folder on the player for you instead of just putting the dupes in there. Some of the time the names don't scroll so you can't really see your names correctly.
All in all I love jelly, mostly because it was the only one I could get to work. I noticed issues though even between browsers on the server... serving in brave as opposed to firefox etc.. so that does tell me the flavor is different across not just device platforms but also browser. Which again, does not make much sense to me... java is java is html is html and on and on... i would think you could get it the same across these, especially on servers and browsers...
much love and happy holidays keep comments and suggestions coming
