We’re going to need to know as a minimum:

• Linux distribution and version
• Jellyfin install method and version
• what you have already tried- not sure where all those flags are coming from

I would also support the comments here recommending that you use docker. There’s only a small number of Linux distributions and versions where a distribution package installation of jellyfin is fully supported, but even then what you need to do varies across each one. All Linux distributions and versions support docker and the process is essentially the same for all of them.

Ok, aside from Android, I’ve yet to see any serious usage of SELinux in the real world and I’ve been working on cloud tech for years. Acknowledged issues such as complexity aside, it’s really just that much less relevant in a modern, single purpose environment such as Docker/kubernetes/cloud functions/etc

You can configure Jellyfin to automatically add new found items to your library but you will need to get on top your logs to make the most of this:

• If you are getting scanning errors then you need to look into them
• (Building on above) You will find that your OS has limits on how many file watchers it can have. You may need to update your config to accommodate changes.

I’m sorry to say but it’s Windows. You never really know. Have you considered getting an old optiplex on Amazon Renewed and putting Debian and Jellyfin on that?

Update for the people downvoting:

I am a professional platform engineer. By ‘Windows. You never really know’ I mean that there are always ten thousand things running, you’re never going to have a full grasp of everything that’s happening in the way that you could with a stripped down linux environment. My own Jellyfin instance is running on

• Intel® Core™ i5-4590S CPU @ 3.00GHz
• 8GB RAM
• Integrated Graphics
• Shipped AUG 2014
• Ubuntu 22.04 with deb installation of Jellyfin

All clients connect via Wifi although server is cat5 to switch. Most of my video does not require transcoding. There are plenty of FLAC audio files in my library. I don’t see slowdowns as described here.

Your hardware is more than capable. I’m running on a ten year old dell optiplex and don’t have these issues. I suspect your issue is Windows, more specifically something else on windows, such as antivirus, updates etc. blocking disk I/O

Plus one for zim. No lock-in, cross platform, etc.

Is there some cache on your old phone from some previous ‘activate on this device’ required?

Thanks for explaining. I guess this would be comparable to e.g. Blu-ray key revocation. I suppose it’s possible but I’m not sure how likely it is considering the potential downsides, e.g. legal liability, for anyone doing this, compared to I’m not sure what upsides where there’s no profit to be found and all costs sunk

Oh no, I understood the watermarking concern. This sort of thing is famous with with Oscar screeners and electronic books. I was asking about OP’s suggestion that the font might be effectively withdrawn by a third party

Please excuse my lack of knowledge here. Am I under to understand from your post that software that you have purchased from another supplier will check from files that you have bought from this supplier and refuse to use them based on their attestation?

Realistically you will always need to be able to read documentation for:

• Your language
• Your compiler
• Your platform
• The APIs you’re calling

All of this will be in English even if your project is in another human language. Yes there will be translation for some of it available but it will be partial, incomplete, dated, etc. you’ll be using English so much anyway and have people from other countries working on the code regardless that you’re adding a needless barrier using a different national language.

Look at the French government open source codee for instance. The overall website is in French but the actual repos are covered and mostly seem to be in English

Sure. And then boot the client single user, and go even more nuts.

P.s. I’m not a windows fan

with ActiveDirectory ad group policies you can centrally configure the entire windows installation to the point that it isn’t possible for a local user, even with admin to leave the domain. User groups in Linux don’t really cover the use cases for installing and uninstalling applications and configuring options within all of those applications. Yes you can do some similar stuff with, e.g. FreeIPA or even binding to AD but fundamentally you have a local system with remote admin added on.

Avoiding snark and concentrating on first party features:

• Domain integration, e.g. ActiveDirectory
• Group policy configuration

You can do these things to an extent bit not as comprehensively and robustly

LOL, easier interface, sure, but:

HandBrake uses FFmpeg under the hood

Actually these days I would recommend using ChatGPT to get the ideal settings based on source medium and target quality/device

From the UK, actually born in Essex. Yes, 20-30 years ago people laughed at these, me included. These days you wouldn’t tell them in public, if at all. Same as for ‘Englishman, Irishman, Scotsman’ jokes.

Anytime you’re picking on someone for a characteristic that:

• They didn’t choose
• They can’t change

That’s a bad look. These days if you tell a joke like this at work you’re likely to get bad looks and your sudden employment will look bad.
