I've been using Jellyfin for about a year. I've experienced many sudden issues with speed or connectivity, but they usually self-resolve over the course of a few days (I'd love to hear what that's about).
Since the last major update, I've had intermittent speed issues. My network is a bit weird, but it's what I have to go with for a while so bear with me...everything is wired cat7a as direct to the router as possible and broadcast exclusively through TailScale. My server (Win10) and another PC (Win11) are the combined shared storage, so I'm assuming one of the main points of failure between these 2 machines are to blame. In other words, the Win11 PC is acting as a shared network folder (where 2/3rd of my media is stored) AND a client (very inefficient I know, but it's worked up until recently).
Today, I tried listening to a lossless song and it was taking about a minute to load 1 second of music. I've never had speeds that slow before.
The server's hardware: -Intel i7-9700k @ 3.60GHz -RAM 16GB -NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Ti
Transcode settings enabled: -Hardware acceleration: Nvidia NVENC -H246 -MPEG2 -VC1 -VP8 -Enhanced NVDEC decoder -Hardware encoding
Task Manager for the server shows 95% (~10 Mbps) network usage to be to TailScale and Jellyfin. Network usage for the client is almost 0 Mbps. Memory usage for both machines is below 30%. CPU is less than 10% on both machines. Disk usage is even lower, 0% on both machines. The media in question is stored on HDD on the client-side machine (disk rated for >100MB/s read and write).
Without buying a new drive, NAS, or extra hardware, do you have any tips for troubleshooting my network to see if it's something I can fix? Did I mess any settings up?
Don't know if it's relevant, but I have a Pi-hole and both machines have Simplewall.
I need to track cardio with terrain data, but I'd rather not trust Strava with my privacy. I know there are some alternatives, but which one is the most reliable and feature-rich? I don't have smart accessories, just and android phone. Preferably, I'd like an app that let's me track added weights for calorie purposes (like rucking).
I've tried installing it about a dozen times over the past year, but it always gives an "unable to get image" error. So I'm wondering if there's an alternative that does everything paperless does...but lets me use it
First, let me say that this is the worst phone I've ever owned. I don't have have "fuck it, I'm buying a Pixel" money right now, but I'd like to try un-ruining my phone if possible. And what are the best ways to back up my phone before the switch?
The folders are accessible on every other device and SMB is enabled on the host machine. I'm trying to access hundreds of gigabytes of game roms via Retroarch when I'm out of the country so I'd appreciate an easier method if one exists, but I've ran through every troubleshooting guide I can find online, but the share folders still don't exist according to my phone. I've also tried 5 or 6 different file manager apps, but they all say the same thing
If someone sees this in the distant future, I'm still looking for a solution so please reach out.
I need a file browser for Android that lets me access folders from my computers while connected through Tailscale. Syncing folders between the devices won't work in this case unfortunately.
Another question: is there a file browser that's considered the best or most feature-rich?
The Xbox is softmodded and the video is set to 480i non-widescreen. Any idea why it might not be outputting? What I see is the intended output on my 4k tv, but the CRT is a 45° slanted, scrolling, monochrome image that's heavily warped. My first though was that the softmod had something to do with it, but I've seen this question asked before without any answers.
My phone and computer can both play the files fine, but using the official apps or webclient gives me an error. I'm assuming it's a transcoding error, but there shouldn't be one. The files (left untreated) work and even if they were transcoded, it should be fine. What am I missing here?
On a side note, how do I make files load 100% of the time?
Edit: I feel stupid, but I solved this. It turned out to be two separate issues. The unreliability was due to conflict in my Tailscale setup. Next, I reread the transcoding guide, and realized that I misread the HWA encoding and decoding charts when I was setting up my server; this was also a simple fix, just unchecking a single box.
I used Signal for years and loved it, but I need SMS support to talk to, well, anyone I know. Is there a secure choice that's near-equal?
I have a Triniton Wega (480i) that I'd like to use as a separate monitor for streaming VHS rips and pixely PC games. My computer is a Win11 machine with a 2080, and I just tried usb-c output of the 2080->hdmi->component converter->TV and (to no one's surprise) it didn't work. I used Nvidia's custom resolution to use settings people have suggested online, but my TV would only accept the signal before I OKed the settings then it goes back to fuzz. Does anyone have any suggestions for what I should try or change before resorting to buying a second GPU?
