  • Power issues can cause problems that the hardware glitches into states it should not be. Changing something in the BIOS or updating it. Hardware defects. OS upgrade fails (Kernel bug causes the network driver to fail) Etc. Etc.

    Those devices are not for the weekly “oh my setup failed” its for the once in 10 years “i am on vacation and the server is not reachable and for some reasons my system crashed and has not rebooted by its own”

    And for below 100€ it’s a no-brainer.





  • And how often. have you said stuff that you have not received advertising for? You will notice it when you get a positive match but not on a negative.

    Data collecting companies can predict/rate your behavior for more then 20 years based. Since then. it has been perfected. They know that you are interested in those topics without having the need to waste resources on recording and analyzing every single audio stream.



  • Wasn’t the CVE fixed in a reasonable time frame? I seriously doubt that the maintainers would have ignored it if it wouldn’t have been discussed so publicly.

    AFAIK, to exploit it, you need network access to CUPS then add the printer and then the client needs to add/select a new printer on the client device and actively print something.

    If CUPS is reachable from the internet, then the system/network is misconfigured anyway, no excuse for ignoring the issue but those systems have other sever issues anyway.




  • Basically, when you do not run server side transcoding and instead rely on client side support you will run from time to time into issues. Jellyfin does not have the ppl to get every client to work with all the different formats on every hardware.

    1080 h264/h265 does not say much about the media format. Those codec differentiate in things like Chroma (4:2:0; 4:4:4, etc) or in color depth like 8 or 10 bit. So not every h264 media file does run on the same hardware. Audio codecs are even more complicated.

    I think since i setup my hardware transcoding I ran into a not playable file once. But depending on the hardware it can be worse. On android TV you may have to play around with the settings.

    I understand that this can be a deal breaker for some ppl.


    1. Not sure what you mean by that. Jellyfin has had an up to date version in the play store for years.
    2. Yes every Profile is separated into its own account, that’s by design and will most likely never change. An easy PIN option in the local network existed for years. Now you can even login with your phone app by entering a displayed PIN.
    3. I remember very few media that i had issues with in the past. Depending on the transcode hardware you have some things can be tricky
