It’s also a pretty common lighting choice in just about any office building or commercial entity. When you’re as big as a giant fast food franchise, I can see the likelihood someone might have done the research necessary to conclude it was worth getting this lighting specifically to avoid sleeping customers and staff but I think it’s also quite likely they’re just cheap.

Not in this particular scenario, used Chrome specifically to to cast from jellyfin. The option is there but it didn’t work. I think it might actually work if I tried a few more times because I noticed it seems temperamental like that, but that’s not really any good because I don’t want to be asking nicely for casting and maybe getting it if it feels like it. I’ve also noticed that with jellyfin, if the source media is decent quality to begin with, it casts at much poorer quality than with emby and takes longer to eventually end up screen. Sounds like a transcoding problem but I wish I knew why exactly because the horsepower is there and it’s handled with aplomb in emby. It works okay with the android app on the live tv function which is mostly SD anyway but it craps out after about every 10 minutes of watching.

Never occurred to me it was optional. I’ll have to check if there’s a setting for it.

Fuck this one guy in particular.

I figured it out! I have one folder which has various media in it, films, short videos, games etc, when I set up Jellyfin, I said it was mixed content, that seems to have been the key mistake. Setting the library as ‘shows’ fixes things right up and restores the ability for me to select ‘identify’ if I need to, though it seems I don’t even need to now. It also seems to correctly identify the movies in there despite them not being ‘shows’ so I’m not even sure what the option of mixed movies and shows is even for.

yep figured out the same thing in the end. Not quite sure why I can’t do it from the desktop, it’s obviously supposed to work, and nearly did given the text on my TV screen. I think with enough finagling one could get there, but if it works with the phone which is always on me anyway then whatever.

Thanks fella, so nice of you. Your screen shot along with @tordenflesk’s is helping me at least see I’m not missing anything too obvious. I don’t have the same menu options, which is weird. Here’s what mine look like, they’re the same in the android app as well. https://imgur.com/a/2J5plE8

I don’t know what’s happening with me but there seems to be whole sections of the UI that people can manipulate that I just haven’t seen at all. I’ve tried navigating blindly around the server dashboard and the home screen and I have no identify button nor a series overview for that matter. Feel like I’m missing something super obvious. Driving me nuts.

It’s a chromecast 1, from 2014, can you install apps on those?

Seems not to do anything. No way to edit this ID number for series, and for individual episodes, it has no effect.

Yeh it looks like you need the play store version. I think they just copied their description of the app there on to f-droid or something. It seems like based on some older forum posts that you can do without play store as I’ve seen people talking about reverse proxies and nginx servers but I really didn’t want to be going to all that trouble.

Is this possible to do without changing the filenames on disk? Don’t want it to mess up other processes and it’s named pretty logically anyway.

hmm okay, it almost sort of works with desktop web ui. There is the familiar square with radio waves in the lower left corner icon, when controlling jellyfin from my laptop, but it said Google casting not supported, however I realised now it was because I was using firefox, and using Chrome for this purpose does reveal the theoretical ability to cast to chrome. Unfortunately if you do this, it takes a very long time to begin casting and when it finally does, it simply displays the words Jellyfin for Chromecast but not any media. Trying to start or stop any kind of media doesn’t not work until I disconnect from the chromecast.

On the app, there is simply no ability to use the chromecast from the casting menu. Does it matter that I got it from f-droid? I thought it might, but it specifically said you could cast the chromecast there so I thought it’d be fine after all.

I think you actually usually can get them to list them all, never much interested, they’re all going to be completely random names you never heard of, just so long as I can reject them all, that’s all I care about, otherwise I have to browse a different website on principle.

Gotta love pub grub.

Not gonna lie, I was pretty excited to find out what apple fries were before realising you just sliced up sticks of raw apple and put it on a plate. Looks like a nice sandwich in any case. Got that nice Hotel Food look.

As part of just living in… the world, I already kind of assumed it was possible for some parties, credit card companies in particular, to pry in to my financial activity and also interested governments to compel banks to hand over whatever they had, and/or possibly just hand over everything about everyone to government all the time automatically. This was bad enough, however, even I was surprised and shocked to learn how bad it was with my own bank when they sent me a letter gleefully telling me that as of the date of the letter they had now managed to sell my data to even more 3rd parties. I was not, up until that point aware that they were selling my data at all, and that 3rd parties (other than the credit card company) were getting access to it not just because of powers to compel, like people might expect of governments, but purely because the bank was literally handing it over to whoever was willing to pay for it, no consent on my part necessary. I don’t know what changed that required them to apparently have to now disclose this to me, but I assume that they were forced, hence the letter. The sneaky motherfuckers didn’t frame it that way though, not “due to recent legislation the bank is obliged to inform you blah blah blah”, no just “good news removed, we were selling your data, we still are, but we used to too, and now we’re selling it to more people, hope you like egregiously unethical behaviour because we put a travesty in to our travesty so you can experience a travesty while processing the first travesty”.

Nah they really like it, it’s making me feel like a weird uncaring sociopath that I’m just really not that interested in the multiple daily photos, but the rest of us around the person sharing can’t seem to get enough of it. I don’t know why I don’t care so much, I’ve met the kid and they’re nice enough, I hope I’m someone they’ll be glad to have in their lives and form an affection for but you can’t really convincingly fake intense interest and emotional investment and much as I’d like it to be, that just isn’t my natural reaction. I like to think if I have ever have kids it’d be different otherwise the poor kid would have to deal with someone totally uninterested for the rest of their lives.

Damn dude knocked it out of the park.
