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.

I’m currently using BraveNewPipe, not sure how recent it is but it updates regularly and works well: https://github.com/bravenewpipe/NewPipe

FreeTube has significantly more features, so there’s not much reason to switch either way.

On my phone I have to use a NewPipe fork in order to get SponsorBlock working.

A sync feature between FreeTube and NewPipe would be appreciated though.

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.

Didn’t watch the video so not sure if it was referenced but there’s also the very interesting CCC talk here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrlrbfGZo2k

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

Not sure if you’re the only one but I’m also using Fedora and everything is working perfectly on an up to date installation.

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.

I was not able to get HDR working in Flatpak, neither through Wine Wayland nor through gamescope.

So if you manage to do it let me know. :D

gamescope is a mess inside of Flatpak as of right now. Some issue with using Proton inside of gamescope inside of Flatpak.

I played Alan Wake 2 using the native Heroic version and native gamescope.

The gamescope version still needs to be pretty recent. After starting the game make sure its brightness does not change when you play with the SDR intensity slider. If it does, it’s not using HDR.

Also, Alan Wake is a pretty bleak looking game in general so you might want to pop some flares to bring some color for testing.

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.

What language and what sort of code analysis do you need?

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.
