Do you use a USB bluetooth adapter? If so, try to use a very short USB A to USB A cable, it gets rid of most 2.4 GHz interference.

I see you still had the bug where OBS would spam “&” in every title.

Yep. Kodi slows down significantly if you have a large library and play through the addon. Native paths fixed that issue by playing directly from a network share instead.

Probably a bad time to suggest the Jellyfin for Kodi plugin (since they removed the network paths in this version) but it’s what I use for my main playback device.

All the goodies of playback via Kodi but play state and metadata gets synced from Jellyfin.

Another option of course would be to open the file(s) in MKVToolNix to add and correct the subtitle offset there.

Take a look at the Finamp desktop client. It comes very close to the Plexamp client from back when I was using Plex.

Not saying what they are doing is right, but Github issues are not a forum.

There’s a dozen people in there adding absolutely nothing to the issue, I would have locked it as well.

Kodi/LibreELEC is able to do all of it, but IMO it’s not a good experience for browsing YouTube

You can do the browsing on your phone and then share the link with your media center through Kore/Yatse and it will play it automatically.

SMB works on all operating systems, my server runs on Linux and Kodi also runs on Linux. (NFS is also supported)

Do you use the plugin mode (access via HTTP) or the direct mode (access directly via SMB)?

Music libraries are a mess in plugin mode.

Still not the best UI in the world but it’s the only Jellyfin player I found that can do seamless refresh rate switching, HDR playback, audio passthrough and has no issues with high bitrate 4k60 hardware decoding.

Kodi with the Jellyfin plugin also works really well. With LibreELEC or CoreELEC it can also be installed as a locked down kiosk client.

Do you mean for downloading or for streaming? I use the normal Tidal app which already does the highest quality. Not the best app in the world but it does the job and I mostly listen to downloaded music anyway.

I know you said no service change but I use this Tidal client which works really well and goes up to 24-bit 192 kHz: https://github.com/Mastermindzh/tidal-hifi

I also download FLACs from Tidal, Deezer or Qobuz. You can find downloaders for them very easily.

I have exactly the setup you described, a Raspberry Pi with an 8 TB SSD parked at a friend of mine. It connects to my network via Wireguard automatically and just sits there until one of my hosts running Duplicati starts to sync the encrypted backups to it.

Has been running for 2 years now with no issues.

Yes, Mono is used by Wine to support Windows .NET applications since it’s a) open source and b) contains support for Windows Forms and other Windows-only APIs.

They can’t ship the regular .NET framework by default for licensing reasons but it can be installed with winetricks to replace Mono, which is sometimes necessary for compatibility reasons.

I’m still waiting for somebody to release a Linux tablet with an immutable distro and Waydroid pre-installed.

Could be a killer product for productivity. Solid linux distro for desktop usage with the possibility to seamlessly open Android apps on demand.

Thanks for the tip! I took a look and it seems like Recognize uses this: https://github.com/jordipons/musicnn

Last update was 4 years ago but will give it a try this weekend.

I’m aware, signing the package is not the same thing as signing the code. The application is built by the package maintainer(s) and then the resulting packages are signed.

Which is the same thing that Flatpak does. Both depend on the trust for the repo owner and the package maintainer.

Neither does dnf/apt/pacman. You are always at the mercy of the package maintainer(s).

I’m thinking of Ripping my CD collection again. I’m researching a way to use a LLM to tidy up the metadata.

If you ever figure out how to use AI to determine the genre(s) of a song, let me know. Have been looking for something like that for quite a while.

I don’t think you can import pfSense configurations into OPNsense. I switched from a DIY pfSense box as well and redid the config.

You can look for a converter or install pfSense onto it though.
