The Introductions thread

Hello. I am Carter. I use jellyfin for movies, tv, music, books, photos, a little liveTV. Especially to share home movies and family photos amongst family.

I choose Jellyfin because it is the best option and also open source, which as a developer I appreciate.

Server is some old prebuilt I hacked up:
28TB usable storage with 28TB backup by veam
EVGA 3060
Intel i7-11700KF with Arctic 360 AIO
16GB generic ram
Windows 10

Media player another prebuilt with same specs but using a 6600XT
Ruipro Fiber optic for full 4kHDR
Epson Home Cinema 3800
Windows 10

Using swiftfin for ios for music and streaming until I can move back to android

Using MakeMkv and TinyMediaManager for media editing/metadata scraping

I like writing tutorials maybe I'll update mine and repost on these new forums

Hi folks! First off, thanks for putting together something to get us off of the other platform. I'm finally social media free, but was bummed because this community was one I spent countless hours browsing looking at the cool and weird things people would do and trying to help people solve problems. It has been probably 15+ years since I've engaged with an actual forum, so this is going to take some getting used to...

I've been using Jellyfin for 3-4 years, switched from Plex early on as I was just getting into self-hosting a bunch of different things on a Raspberry Pi. My current setup is a two server shelf in my office, but my media server is a custom i7-13700k w/ 64 GB DDR4, 16 TB onboard storage, that I built over time as I could afford the parts. I just pulled together some money to pick up an Arc A380 that I'm really excited to put to the test! The other server is a SFF OptiPlex running various additional micro-services and acting as a home-rolled NAS: 2x 4TB, 6 TB, 10 TB, 14 TB. As you might've inferred, everything runs via Docker (docker-compose, specifically) as that has been a lifesaver for me in a number of ways. It saves time and energy and after an initial investment in learning, the payoff is huge.

With that A380 coming, I'm staring down the barrel of shifting from Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (with a non-standard 6.0.19 kernel) to something with kernel 6.2+ for better support, which I'm guessing will mean a pretty full reset. Not super excited about that, but it'll be a test of what I've learned over the last year. Any tips for that kind of quantum leap, let me know...

Hello All,

Big fan of jellyfin, thankyou for creating such an amazing software <3 , moved from plex the experience has been flawless up until now, i primarily use it on my appletv and ipad, ipad version of the app(swiftfin) works like a charm so did the tvOS version till yesterday, the audio sync issue is bugging me, there is a delay 800ms or 1 sec  .

Troubleshooting/ configuration:
1) Running on Mac mini M2, hardware acceleration is on tried turning off same issue.
2) working perfectly on my Mac book Air, Ipad, Ios.
3) uninstalled and reinstalled the app (tvOS), same.
4) Tried with different format of videos same issue.
5) turned on the native player, under experimental features, there is no dealy works perfecty, but no subtitles

My apologies if this is not the right thread to ask this

Hello...

I'm a transplant from r-eddit original forms.  It's a shame it has come down to migrating to a different platform, but I'm very glad the effort has continued here..

I'm a work-in-progress when it come to Jellyfin and all it's potential.  There is a wealth of knowledge I hope to absorb..  Slow and steady is my pace so I'll be watching from the sidelines mostly -  but hope to pass along my knowledge when I can.

Let the fin-begin!!

Regards...

Hi I'm magu2k, I like cheese.

I am currently running Jellyfin on a windows install that was actually a VM host for testing. Currently in the process of deploying Jellyfin on an actual VM with fresh windows install and getting hardware passthrough working for a GPU, to replace the original install.

Good day everyone, I am new to Jellyfin, about to install, just wanted to drop in to say hi!!

Greetings from the burning American West!
I am running Jellyfin 10.8.10 on a Win-x64 machine and viewing over my LAN to 5 TVs via the Roku app.
Where do I post a troubleshooting a question concerning issues with the Jellyfin Roku app?

(PS I thank God for Jellyfin!)
