Pffff #Netflix augmente encore ses prix.
Dites, les mastonautes à la jambe de bois, votre perroquet connaîtrait-il une solution #iptv valable ou un guide #kodi / #Plex complet et clair à mettre en œuvre ?
Un retoot assure une tournée de ratafia et la satisfaction de la tavernière accro à la zapinette.
While cleaning up, I found an old #AppleTV Gen 3. Thought I’d jailbreak it and install #Kodi to do the whole re-use thing. After a couple of hours of futzing around without success, I factory reset it, put it into a baggie with the cables and remote, and I plan to donate it to a charity shop. Someone else with more patience than me can give that a try.
#RepairReuseRecycle (or not)
Did you know? One of the best ways to support your favorite artists is still by purchasing their albums. Even if they received 100% of the royalties from streaming, it would take at least 10,000 streams for an artist to earn the same amount as from a single album sale.
When was the last time you listened to anything 10,000 times?
"#Plex Pass is going up in price — and now you’ll need it for remote playback"
More #enshittification as @plex.tv forces customers to pay for previously free features.
Time to find another #media server. #Kodi, #Synology both look good.

Sehr schick.
Nächstes Ziel: Den ganzen Streaming Stick Krembel ersetzen durch etwas auf Basis von #Kodi Ist aber eher was für Fortgeschrittene und Schmerzbefreite. Aber DANN ist man echt verdammt unabhängig :)
Just found out I can stream videos from #Kodi (on the #RaspberryPi 4) to my #Android phone using the #Kore remote and #VLC (both on #FDroid). No need to turn the projector on to watch things from our local video library!
Love it when #FLOSS solutions work together flawlessly like this.
Thank you @VLC_Android, @fdroidorg, @Kodi !
(No reply-guys about "the setup is not entirely FLOSS", thank you very much.)
Finally have my "perfect" setup for #yt-dlp and downloading stuff off of the internet onto my #Kodi / #jellyfin
yt-dlp -v -f "bv*[height<=1080]+ba*[language=en]" -N 4 "LinkToVideo"
This will download the video with a max resolution of 1920x1080 and grab english audio.
I'm happy. \o/
#UnplugTrump (kinda)
I post this for #accountability : 2/2
My ideal world is to support "less" freedom restricting media rather than objecting and pirating exclusively
I want to buy blurays and DVDs second hand; rip them and share the physical & digital media with my family & friends.
But unfortunately DRM has gotten worse for BluRays and while it is possible to rip them - the free-est way to do on so Gnu/Linux so is via the #proprietary makemkv
This leaves me in a dilemma, where the purpose of buying exclusively DRM-free , and cracking and removing DRM is to own your media and take charge of your collection to view and use as you see fit — and give no one the ability to take it away from you.
Since makemkv is proprietary - this just kicks the can down the road. I dont have the source code and I have no confidence the project wont disappear some day and nobody will be able to hack it keep it working.
This brings me back to sailing the high seas -- until another day. Hold me accountable. When DRM free media exists - shout it from the rooftops & get your mother and son to buy it. When breaking DRM becomes more free - share it around the pirate community.
I am a customer- but no such product exists in 2025. I will pay when the way is reasonable.

Hello there! I'm back again, this time to discuss smart tv's and stuff!
I wanted to ask you all, how do you have your tv set up?
Do you use a smart tv? or do you use something like a device running #libreelec
If so, what device?
I'm torn between getting a smart tv or getting a dumb one and plugging a small Laptop into it, I want to be able to use Kodi!

#kodi
Am I missing something, or is the developer documentation for #Kodi really just that terrible?
#kodi (bei mir auf Basis von #libreelec) ist nach vielen Jahren der Existenz teilweise immernoch extrem instabiles gefrickel. Lokale Medien funktionieren gut, aber alles andere ist eine Katastrophe.
An vielen Stellen (ver-)zweifele ich an #FOSS.
Heute Vormittag habe ich dann mal Arch Linux auf dem ThinClient installiert und dort dann #Kodi. Nur um dann festzustellen, dass Kodi aktuell nur Audio via AirPlay unterstützt. Nicht, dass ich irgendwie AirPlay auch nur aktivieren könnte – die Einstellung dafür fehlt. Nicht da. Weg. Und online behaupten alle einschlägigen Suchergebnisse steif und fest, die Einstellung wäre an der Stelle, wo ich geschaut habe. Irgendwo fand ich den Hinweis, dass ich das Paket avahi brauchen und der avahi-daemon.service laufen muss, aber Kodi zeigte sich davon unbeeindruckt.
Nun gut, dann probiere ich eben #uxplay. Ich fände AirPlay in einer Bigscreen-GUI zwar deutlich angenehmer, aber wenn das nicht geht …
Alternativ sage ich meiner Spielleitung, sie solle sich bitte Chrome installieren, damit sie die Bilder per Chromecast auf den TV bringt. Gab es da nicht auch noch irgendwas mit Moonlight oder so?
I don't understand the prevalent techno-pessimism. Today, technological empowerment is at the greatest level ever in human history. Our computers can run @debian, our phones can run @GrapheneOS and @fdroidorg, our TVs can run @Kodi, we can turn to @wikipedia for vast troves of human knowledge, we can explore the world using @openstreetmap, and we can communicate privately using @matrix or publicly using @Mastodon.
Of course, not everyone is using these great tools. But that's nothing but Kantian self-imposed immaturity.

Hi! I was in the same situation. And my actual configuration is RPi4 with LibreELEC 12.0.1 & KODI 21.1 and it works flawlessly.
Our #RaspberryPi 3B running #LibreELEC with #KODI has more and more issues with some video files (doesn't work, dropouts or occasional dropouts).
Any idea what I should use to replace? Preferably cheap and maybe used?
Requirements: video and audio playback from local (NFS) share from a Linux server. KODI a plus.
Used Fujitsu Futro, Dell Wyse, HP t-series: just DisplayPort and I'm not sure if they connect smoothly to our HDMI receiver via active or passive adapters.
New RPi5 for 90€ sounds pricey for that performance class. RPi5 starter pack for 145€ is the lazy solution to me: fixes issue without changing my concept/workflows too much.
Used Nvidia Shield TV start at 130€ which sounds expensive for an older Android device like that.
Kodi is an award-winning free and open source home theater/media center software and entertainment hub for digital media. With its beautiful interface and powerful skinning engine. It is available for Android, BSD, Linux, macOS, iOS, tvOS and Windows.

So langsam geht mir #Debian auf den Geist. Ich habe es eben auf einem Dell Wyse 5070 installiert, um #Kodi darauf laufen zu lassen, aber natürlich stelle ich dann beim Lesen der Installationsanweisungen fest, dass das nicht unterstützt sei. Ein Forumsthread stellt dann klar, dass sie bei Debian wieder viele Sonderwege gegangen sind, die Kodi für Debian weit vom Upstream entfernt.
Also doch jetzt Ubuntu, obwohl ich Ubuntu seit Jahren erfolgreich vermeiden konnte. Und komme mir niemand mit Mint, bitte.
