Yep, I only noticed because I got prompted to update when I ran it today!

It took about a week to generate for my library without hardware-accelerated MJPEG generation, at the default resolution in the Trickplay configuration. I let it use 8 threads but CPU use was close to nothing the whole time, even with priority bumped up to above normal.

It wound up consuming about 10GB of storage by the time it was done, for a library of 2.6TB. My library is mostly 1080p stuff, a mix of h.264 and x265.

Mine’s been running for about 5-6 days now, also not a huge library. I’m running Jellyfin in an LXC container on a host with 16 CPU cores. Started with 4 cores, but have bumped it up to 8. I have noticed that when it is generating the Trickplay images for h.264 content it only uses about 8% of the available CPU resources. When generating images for x265 it uses about 60-70%.It doesn’t seem to matter what the priority for the trickplay job is set to.

I assume I should probably wait for my multi-day running Trickplay task to finish before attempting an update, right? :)

My library isn’t huge (in my opinion anyway, a few hundred episodes of TV and maybe 100 movies). My Trickplay job is about 16% complete after 3 days, lol. My AMD iGPU doesn’t appear to be supported for the MJPEG stuff so I don’t get GPU acceleration, but I have Jellyfin set to allow 4 threads for generating Trickplay images, and am running on a 4-core VM that sits on physical hardware that isn’t slow at all. Looks like even though it is using 4 threads it is still only using one of the cores, as CPU utilization for the ffmpeg process doing it is always at about 25%.

At the rate my Jellyfin server is generating trickplay images right now the Android client might have support for them by the time it finishes.

I use one of those tiny mini PCs, with an AMD mobile CPU in it. It sips power but has enough oomph for transcoding when necessary. I’m sure the NAS that my library actually sits on uses way more power with its mechanical HDDs.

I run mine in an LXC container. I just snapshotted it in case of disaster and then ran apt update && apt upgrade.

I’m guessing it has 3GB of ram and 256MB is being eaten due to being shared video memory.

Now that gaming is effectively a solved problem thanks to Proton, Adobe Lightroom is just about the only thing keeping my desktop PC on Windows. My laptop is already running Linux. I’ve tried the FOSS alternatives but none of them fits my workflow like Lightroom. This is a me problem more so than a problem with any of these pieces of software.

Same here, except on Mint. Once it becomes stable with Cinnamon I’ll be happy to use it.

Free software that essentially lets you roll your own Netflix.

Interesting - I’ll try that as soon as a 6.6 kernel becomes available in Mint. Seems like 6.5.0-21 is the newest they offer right now.

I can see the same SSID on all three bands now in wavemon, but my computer only connects to it on the 5GHz band, channel 40.

I can try that, thanks.

Update: I wound up getting one of the Chinese mini PCs from Amazon. $300+tax got me a Ryzen 7 5700U, 32GB of RAM, 1TB NVMe storage, and a single 2.5Gb ethernet port. I can add a second interface via USB-C if necessary. Really not bad at all. I have Proxmox up and running on it already, with PiHole and Jellyfin already running in LXC containers. Jellyfin took a bit of screwing around to get the CIFS shares from my NAS and hardware-accelerated transcoding going, but everything works now!

Another Mint + Thinkpad vote here. I’m a lifelong Windows user who has occasionally dabbled in Linux, and Mint is the first distro that I’ve stuck with enough to consider it my daily driver. I have it running on a used Thinkpad T14 Gen 2 with an AMD Ryzen 7 in it. I still have a separate Windows desktop for gaming and Adobe Lightroom, but the Thinkpad is my everyday couch PC now. Everything worked out of the box except for the infrared camera used for face unlock type stuff, and the fingerprint reader. I got the camera set up to use the Linux equivalent of Windows Hello, Howdy, and while it does work now it’s not as fast and reliable as it was under Windows. I haven’t even tried to set up the fingerprint reader yet. I’m very happy with how well everything works in general under Linux Mint.

Not an automation guy here either but I have worked with several, and my current workplace has a big boner for Ignition, which runs on both Linux and Windows and works with their Allen Bradley PLCs. They run the whole thing on Linux VMs on VMware, with their HMIs being mostly Windows PCs, but as far as I can tell all they really need is a web browser, so you could probably use anything for that.

Ignition isn’t free but they have trial versions and a free ‘maker’ version that I can only assume has commercial use exemptions or something in it.

0.16.4 has now been released hot on the heels of 0.16.3.

That ONN box is surprisingly decent. It can natively play x265 video too. I have mine set up with my own launcher so I don’t have to see the usual homescreen ads you gets on android tv boxes.
