I think all the existing answers are on the basis of creating a new Linux VM.
And if I understand you correctly, you already have a bare metal Linux install that you want to run whilst Linux is up.
This is the best search result I could find: https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?t=93437
It sounds like Virtualbox will indeed create a pseudo vhdx that points to a real partition, but windows is going to give you permissions drama.
The above link is out of date though, so its best viewed as info rather than guide.
Good luck.
I don’t think that’s a use case the developers really envisaged.
I know under movies (and possible shows as well), you can specify versions:
https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/server/media/movies
But I think you’re expected to select the version at playback time.
When I’ve had this issue, I’ve just transcoded to a format that all my targets can read without drama and kept the resulting file.
If your keen to experiment, I’d be curious to hear the outcome.
.1 was hotfixes to do with the major release.
Everything since then appears to just be shipping features as soon as they are proven stable.
I’ve updated 10.9.1 -> 10.9.2 -> 10.9.3 (and I’m about to do .4) and I just manually fire off the trickplay generating task after each update.
It quickly walks through the files that have already been done and then resumes processing from where it left off.
Currently at 13% after like 10 days or whatever it is.
This requirement is designed to be hard, and as such is a major red flag to me.
What else is this company going to be difficult with?
Can i only get customer support or cancel my account in person, between 9-4 on the 2nd Friday of the month?
I would consider alternatives, if possible.
Looks like it’s a manual process.
It also looks like no Jellyfin developer is creating the builds on Flathub and that some random member of the flathub community did it.
Whilst the devs provide instructions for all manner of install methods, the preferred version is definitely via docker.
Yeah, I can see it now.
I can only assume that the post hadn’t propagated to my server 3 hours ago.
Assuming they used the top link, Fedora?
Short answer no.
Plex works by having a centralised server run by Plex themselves, that facilitates your client connecting to your server.
The external facing part of Jellyfin server is basically a web server, and it’s a bad idea to expose that to the internet without putting a reverse proxy in front of it (hence the mention of NGINX above).
Another option is to have a VPN connection to where you are running Jellyfin and then only access Jellyfin pseudo locally (so potential security problems aren’t a big concern). This introduces other complications if you want to access it remotely via things like Roku or Chromecast, especially if you have multiple external (and probably not tech savvy) users.
I want to stress that none of this is prohibitively expensive or hard, but doing it involves learning and effort.
All the information and programs you need are available online for free.
If you only wanted to use Jellyfin at home (server in the cupboard, client on the tv), none of this other stuff matters. If you want to access Jellyfin remotely, and the idea of running a reverse proxy or a vpn server with the corresponding exposed ports and domain configuration sounds scary, Jellyfin is probably not for you.
I agree, that’s why I said “and able”
You can interoperate with googles RCS.
If you are willing and able to enter a partnership like Samsung, you can do it fully (including encryption support etc).
Google are determined to not make it easy, and I agree with you, it appears to be yet another messaging land grab.
Trying to put myself in their headspace for a moment, one justification for making it hard is to stop thousands of apps coming out declaring “full RCS support!” through the APIs, then screwing the pooch (through poor security or deliberate back doors or or or).
Right now Google are desperately attempting to make RCS happen, after almost a decade of trying and failing to make various carriers play ball.
They do not want any bad press about how feature poor/insecure/slow/buggy it is right now.
Only Google can make an RCS app
Yes and no.
You don’t need to make your own OS, but you do need to implement support for the RCS protocol within your app, rather than piggyback on Googles APIs.
I don’t like it, but there’s no legal requirement for google to provide those APIs, like they did with SMS etc.
pihole blocks ads by refusing to return dns results of known ad hosting URLs.
Chromecast ignores your DHCP supplied dns UNLESS 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 are inaccesible.
People who’s bothered to do this have added static routes to make all requests on port 53 go to the pihole.

Windows XP is basically firmware at this point, and has been for over a decade.
Lots of proprietary hardware that works perfectly, will not work on newer versions of Windows due to lack of drivers.
I see it constantly in factory situations with scales, scanners and robot controllers, it would only be worse for million dollar x-ray machines.
Think about your audience and the specific features that will potentially appeal to them.
Depending on who that user is, the same feature/quirk can be either a pro or a con.
There’s lower user numbers here compared to something like Reddit, but the people involved tend to be of an average higher tech literacy.
So there’s not as much noise, but there’s also not as much signal.
As a user, you can spin up your own instance, which gives you complete control… But it also introduces a financial and moderation expense, not to mention inherently leading to fractured communities.
Just look at the Android discussion, it’s occurring on at least:
Android@lemmy.world
Android@lemdro.id
Android@lemmy.ml
etc etc
I’ve read Revelation Space and Chasm City.
I’m sorry, but they are a massive struggle.
Have you told the library to rescan after making the change?
