I don't give a shit about reddit's DP program.

The first two or three emails I was willing to ignore. But they keep sending these.

How desperate do you have to be?

Server: Ubuntu.
Client: Roku.

When I play an episode of a TV show, if I pause I see the name of the episode, but it doesn't show which season or episode number.

E.g. I might see:
Lisa Simpson, This Isn't Your Life

But I would like to see something like:
s22e05 - Lisa Simpson, This Isn't Your Life

Or maybe even better, something like:
The Simpsons - s22e05 - Lisa Simpson, This Isn't Your Life

Is there some way to enable this?

Additional question...

This is even more annoying because sometimes when I pause, or fall asleep, or shut off my tv/roku, the "Continue Watching" list on the home screen doesn't even have where I left off. (Sometimes it does. That seems like a bug to me.) So then I have to go track down the season and episode number where I left off.

Some questions and comments on my experience.

My main motivation to switch was that emby seemed to be buggy on the client side, keeping track of what episode of what tv show and season I was on. I'm hoping jellyfin helps with that.

On the server side, I wanted to keep both servers running. But there were port conflicts. It was difficult for me to find in the Jellyfin docs the right config file to set the ports. So I ended up changing the emby ports. (Since I could find the emby config files.)

I would like to build a music player / device for an older person, not tech savvy user.

I have the MP3s on my linux desktop/laptop, but not all the metadata and cover art.

I've worked with RPi before, jailbreaking iPhones and roku. So I have some limited experience with small devices.

I'm wondering if I could obtain some kind of old/used android phone, remove all the apps so the home screen is completely empty, transfer via USB or ssh/scp the MP3 files (and metadata + cover art), then have some kind of music player app which would be the only app on the phone/device.

Then shutdown any wifi or internet connectivity, but still allow bluetooth to pair with an external speaker.

There has been some dispute regarding bagged eggs recently.

I would be remiss if I did not follow up on this properly, so that the lemmy community might come to some kind of consensus regarding this highly controversial culinary phenomenon.

Serious answers only, please.
