Doesn't jellyfin still lack auto detecting hardware acceleration settings? Setting up quicksync transcode in Plex meant just mapping /dev/dri and checking use hw acceleration + use hw accelerated encoding and it just works. In jellyfin, according to the documentation (I mean just look at the size of that page... I've spent hours poring over every section trying to get my setup to work), you have to pass in the render group id in addition to passing /dev/dri, run a command inside the container to check capabilities, then it just says to "enable qsv and uncheck unsupported codecs" without any guidance on how to match the output of the command with the codec list. I kept getting playback errors so I resorted to using the Linux server docker container and referencing the Wikipedia page for quicksync to enable the codecs my CPU should be able to handle with quicksync.

They sorely need to make it just work out of the box with a single enable check box and have the rest of the settings auto detected and hidden under advanced. At least it should add (not present) or grey out every hardware acceleration device not detected like amd/nvidia on my nuc that's just Intel, and the codecs should just auto set based on your hardware and show a warning if you enable something outside of the detected capabilities. I still can't get opencl tone mapping to work despite having the opencl linuxserver mod so I've just resorted to VPP, my jellyfin users can just deal with it if it doesn't look quite right.

the wine prefix is being updated, please wait...

That looks like an imax release, maybe the top/bottom black bars are on the Blu-ray it was ripped from to make it fit 16:9? Since it's a remux they shouldn't have touched it to remove the bars.

If they seamlessly integrate iMessage features with rcs then I would call it solved

ie if iPhone users can react to messages, include rcs users in group chats with iMessage users and all share HQ photos, send voice memos, and whatever else without missing any of the features because the other person is rcs or because one rcs person in a group chat causes the entire group chat to be downgraded, then the only remaining difference is the color of the bubble so the only people hating on green bubbles will be those who do it solely because of the color and not because of any loss of functionality, which I think would be so few people that it would be a non issue

You can use bazarr to batch generate whisper subtitles for your Plex/jellyfin/kodi library: https://wiki.bazarr.media/Additional-Configuration/Whisper-Provider/

It doesn't need to be realtime since you can pre generate an srt with time codes beforehand using something like bazarr. Whisper also runs faster than realtime in most model sizes, up to 32x realtime so it can really be worth it to add auto subtitles to media in your collection that's missing subtitles as a one time job.

It's not just about the color of the bubble. If you go on an outing with a group of iPhone users, there's a high chance they'll create a group chat with and without you, because the group chat with you won't let them send HQ photos. Even if they aren't trying to be exclusionary, someone will inevitably forget to send messages to both group chats. iMessage incentivizes situations like this which socially punishes Android users.

Do you get ads in the subtitles though?

"Subtitles downloaded by VIP members are free from any embedded ads, offering a cleaner viewing experience."

I haven't used opensubtitles much but have been considering setting up bazarr, using a source that embeds ads in subtitles would be a non starter for me.

I would even be totally willing to pay for increased download limits but not if it means supporting putting ads in the free subtitles.

If you have good home upload and want to host at home, a simple reverse proxy on the vps provider of your choice does the trick. I host for a large group of friends and family and it all proxies through haproxy running on digitalocean.

I've been downloading tons of my Spotify music using spotdl and sticking it on Plex, which kinda accomplishes most of what you want. I then organize it with lidarr. Spotdl doesn't actually download from Spotify but it uses Spotify metadata to tag files after matching with and downloading from YouTube music, it might just use youtube-dl/p under the hood but being able to give it a Spotify playlist, artist, or album url from Spotify makes it super convenient. For some artists I just download the entire artist in one go.

I wish that would happen, or maybe if someone forked their client and hooked it up to connect to matrix home servers. The client looks great.

Hah, well good thing that despite charging my friends in booze I host at home with a gigabit upload speed.
