Thanks for mentioning running costs, I was curious about that. How much more do you think the NUC is costing you compared to a Pi?

Finally someone mentions a product name. I am so sick of these “uh duuuh, there are better alternatives out there, hurhur” commenters who name not a single one.

Someone just posted that background and both your posts ended up close to each other in my feed. https://toad.work/post/1039482

Yeah, I still have it working with the workaround of compiling it with my own API key, but decided not to update this any more. When it stops working like that I am out, not that I actually use it that much anymore.

Looks interesting, is the android app available any other way than the playstore? On the github page I can only see files for windows and linux, maybe I am missing something obvious here.

There’s dozens of us! I started using it while I wrote my thesis, running a backup like every hour while writing.

I almost never see rdiff-backup in such threads, so I am bringing it up now. Somehow I really like how it works and provides incremental backup with folder structures and file access still accessible directly. Works well enough for me.

That’s weird. When I look up Libretube I can find it in my f-droid app. Says it needs Android 5.0 or higher, maybe your version is too old so you cannot see it?

Not sure how long ago you tested it, but there is now an alternative Android app called Findroid which I like much more than the official app.

You know, its not that hard to just try and google “intro skipper jellyfin” since its actually the name of it, but here you go https://github.com/ConfusedPolarBear/intro-skipper

I don’t think there is any plan from Jellyfin to support pre-converting from what I remember reading. It is going to be quite resource-intense either way, but you might be able to schedule something during a time you wouldn’t use the computer.

That said, what kind of machine you got? Just asking because it is not unpopular to use a raspberry pi as a server, but converting media on it will not work very well.

If you want to share those downloads in an easy netflix-like way you should consider a small homeserver with Jellyfin. Even a newer raspberry pi is strong enough for streaming to 2 or maybe 3 people at the same time, unless files need transcoding to different codecs.
