That may be to speed up the download using multiple connections. Other downloaders do it on other sites as well, doesn’t mean the files are split on the server.

Came late to the party for Firefly but I’ve watched it. Fuck whoever decided to cancel it.
The beatings shall continue until morale improves
I’m gonna look into this, thanks! 😄
I have a few go-tos foe different types of content but it’s always scary they might just stop existing one day.
…I mean…piracy’s bad m’kay 👀
Jellyfin isn’t perfect, but by god it’s incredible! I’ve trued to contribute but the obly stuffeft is stuff I don’t fully understand :(
Maybe one day…
A 5TB portable hard drive only costs as much as three months and can hold most of the stuff you ACTUALLY wanna watch. To be fair, DVDs and BluRays can get expensive but at least that’s yours forever and you don’t have to worry about the studio suddenly deciding you need to subscribe to THEIR bullshit too. If it’s not available outside of streaming, well Gabe Newell said it best.
This may be more involved than most people are willing to go but just wanna add:
Bonus: Look into Jellyfin for a streaming service like interface
All good shows that don’t blow up to Stranger Things levels get cancelled and the recommendation algorithm prioritizes mediocre over great. Why would I pay for that 🤷♂️
This is the way. The only no-bullshit media platform is the one on your hard drive.
Those are the exact words my first boss used when on my first day, I asked if I could use linux mint instead haha. That’s pretty spot on.
For good reason too, it has waaaay more support for your basic workplace apps than anything else (not that other things don’t but it’s easier to find a .deb than a .rpm)
A “Ubuntu LTS” option would be great here, yeah. It’d be next to impossible to support every distro and I get the feeling linux users who have distro preferences are also the type who would prefer to do it themselves.
Source: Me I guess. I’d rather setup Fedora myself
I have an init.sh file I run from my dotfiles. Pipe my sudo password to it and leave it alone for about an hour. Gets things 95% of the way to how I like them.
I should migrate to ansible like u/djehuti@programming.dev but time :(
Fair enough, just saw the “if you’re not an IT worker” comment haha
Ah, my use case right now is almost exclusively streaming stuff from my laptop to a phone with HEVC support over a local network so I can just turn transcoding off and be okay.
I did however have issues with my lack of transcoding (I turned it off myself, not Jellyfin’s fault. Pitchforks down, people) on a tablet without hardware HEVC support though so I may have to experiment with it soon.
FWIW I had to go in and turn the feature off but there’s also a good chance it was using CPU instead of GPU
Oh come on, it’s better to be helpful if you can rather than just saying “for you” and adding nothing else to the conversation.
Seriously I’m sure they’d love to try it again if the issue is resolved. I know I wouldn’t pick Plex over Jellyfin unless I had no choice.
When you say “hardware encoding”, are you talking about using your GPU for stuff like transcoding when streaming to devices?
I ask because I actively disable all transcoding because I run jellyfin off my laptop and don’t wanna overwork it so to speak. I just assumed it was using the GPU.
My favorite was the bit about the increased chocolate rations! 😄
