UntouchedWagons

On my PC or android phone using the official apps I cannot watch videos, explore libraries or even access the admin dashboard.

In the phone app if I try to play a tv show the next episode in the series is shown in Next Up with nothing playing but on my desktop I'll get the episode's thumbnail but nothing plays.

Everything works through the web UI.

In the server logs I do see this:

I did try uninstalling Kodi Sync Queue and logging out and back in which helped on my PC but not on my phone.

I don't know what cave-in this art is referring to but I like the idea of a tank being scared.

I have some 1440p videos that I've downloaded off youtube but they use either the AV1 or VP9 codec. I'd like to watch these on my phone but it can't direct play those codecs and my iGPU can't transcode them so it has to be done in software extremely slowly.

So I'd like to transcode the videos ahead of time into either h264 or h265 which my phone can direct play but I don't want to get rid of the originals. So can I have two copies of the same episode but using different codecs? How would I name them? Would jellyfin be smart enough to send the right video based on what my phone supports?

The videos are currently named like so:

'Rimworld with Francis John - Anomoly - S01E01 - An Unlikely group of researchers.mkv'
'Rimworld with Francis John - Anomoly - S01E02 - New weapons, new threats, new research.mkv'
'Rimworld with Francis John - Anomoly - S01E03 - Small colony equals few options.mkv'

I download Let's Play series off of Youtube and sort them to watch through Jellyfin at a later time. I also download the thumbnails. On June 9 I upgraded the Jellyfin server from 10.9.1 to 10.9.6 and thumbnail importing broke somewhere inbetween those two versions.

As you can see, episode 25 which I downloaded on June 7 has its thumbnail while episode 26 which was downloaded June 12 does not. This happens for all videos I've added. I've double checked that the images are not corrupt and that the file names match.

[Edit]

I rolled back to 10.9.1, did a refresh and all the missing thumbnails were picked up immediately

I'm considering switching from Windows 10 to something either using KDE or the new Cosmic DE that System76 is working on. Right now I've got a 3060TI.

A few hours ago I received a PM from someone and I replied. I clicked edit but chose not to change anything so I clicked save and my entire message was deleted! Fortunately the message wasn't very long so I didn't have to type much but still.

The main mod for this colony was Vanilla Factions Expanded Empire which greatly improves the Empire. I think I got my main pawn to Archcount.

One of my design goals was no rectangular rooms which I think I achieved. The rooms in the bottom left were intended to be guest rooms for royals so they'd be fairly copy and paste aside from colour scheme.

This is my one main complaint about Fedora Linux.

When the video is nearly finished this little box pops up prompting you about what video is going to play next, could we get a button to mark the current video as a favourite?
