it means android api changes, google play restrictions and removals

its funny how the up and down votes are almost in sync for all comments.

let me clarify for everyone: email is not needed for a selfhosted setup, and shouldn’t be. I am in doubt that the majority of selfhosters run mail servers.

Tailscale is wireguard with automatic configuration. OPs problem will remain: it needs an app

set up a tailscale client on their networks, and set up a reverse proxy on it for your services. then you can just point these tvs to the local proxy

corrupt files will have glitches in the best case, but more likely have noticeable decoding errors, and completely unplayable files in the worst case (some parts of a video file are essential for processing the rest). that could also happen if the file system metadata gets corrupted, and the OS cannot piece together the file extents or the whole directory anymore.

modern data storage relies on reliable storage medium. to protect yourself against bit rot the only thing you can do is to keep backups on different storage devices. but what does it worth if you don’t notice (in time) there’s corruption. you need some way to detect it. a catalogue of some sort, like a checksum file for a whole directory tree, automatically extended with new files, ran in checking mode on schedule, and notifeably notifying you about issues. it can be a custom made solution for traditional file systems like ext4, ntfs, xfs, the FATs, etc, or a filesystem that has that function built-in like zfs or btrfs. the latter two don’t implement the notification and the schedule part, but they do the majority of the work. also if you want to notice not just corruption but erroneous deletion or modification too, you should also use their snapshot functionality. you can diff them to see if there’s any unexpected changes.

well, to some people. but if you think about it this way: it’s an entertainment website with no useful content, then I can agree with it

you start with authenticated things, like forgejo and such, and always double check that anonymous visitors don’t see any data.

but generally it’s also not wise to just expose most services to the internet. jellyfin for example had lots of leaks because lots of API functionality was accessible without authentication. I don’t know if it’s been fully fixed.
expose a wireguard, it is safe, it is security software, and access everything else through it. you can keep using your domain for internal services.

with copyparty there’s an added risk. if police finds you hosted child porn, they won’t care if it wasn’t you who uploaded it. someone reports it to them, they steal all your computers, worst case you can even end up in jail.

weird, I thought its in the default selection. did you maybe register with a different language (I don’t know if possible)

yeah tick in both english and undefined (or how it’s called), maybe others too

how do you expect to claim warranty if you can’t do an RMA?

I agree with what the commenters say, but it’s ridiculous that all the OPs normal responses are downvoted to hell. ok people tell them what they think, but after that they should just scroll further and forget about it.

but it also reminds me of some other reddit posts where I have seen such a weird votes pattern. most top level comments heavily upvoted, plenty responses to those heavily downvoted. at some posts it was obvious vote manipulation, and others called it out too. maybe that is what’s happening there too?
but just consider this: post has a score of 500, 91% of voters upvoted it. how is it possible then that with few exceptions all OP responses are so heavily downvoted.

watching it remotely, like at friends. even if you can access it on your phone through VPN, the smart TV won’t be able to use it

jellyfin had a similar issue too for a long time for servers exposed to the internet. google would always reblock the domains soon after unblocking them. I think they solved it in the latest update. Basically it’s that google’s scraping bots think that all jellyfin servers are a scam that imitate a “real” website.

don’t forget to recreate the container after editing the file, or else you’ll keep running your previous Jellyfin version. “docker compose start” does not do it, “docker compose up” does when it detects a change.

FYI the github repo can also have a wiki

do you think they would spend their little money on this?

yeah not all invidiouses allow proxying the video, and at some it used to be off by default

how well does invidious work on the TV? how easy are the controls?

yeah, it must be an app issue. log out and reinstall, and then set up the tracked albums again and it should work.

I wonder where will it store the images though
