[1347.74 --> 1350.32] There were a few little gotchas, I think, in interface.
[1350.70 --> 1355.18] But you've been asking us to watch something together.
[1356.44 --> 1357.42] Strange New Worlds.
[1357.42 --> 1360.74] And so I think it might just happen with this January.
[1361.68 --> 1364.86] If that is the result of this challenge, I will take that.
[1365.36 --> 1365.70] You know, okay.
[1365.78 --> 1367.88] So, Alex, this is your idea.
[1367.96 --> 1370.42] And you came up with some ground rules that we've all agreed to.
[1370.46 --> 1371.86] And I just want to run down them real quick.
[1372.04 --> 1374.20] So you touched on one of them.
[1374.44 --> 1376.70] Plex servers must be offline for this.
[1376.96 --> 1377.06] Yeah.
[1377.10 --> 1382.40] No sneaky just app switch back to Plex or Infuse, particularly you, Mr. Fisher.
[1382.76 --> 1383.26] You bastard.
[1383.26 --> 1390.02] That honestly was the deep cut for me because the front end is an easy switch with Infuse.
[1390.14 --> 1391.10] But I agree.
[1391.42 --> 1394.84] This is the tricky one because I do have family and friends that use my Plex instance.
[1395.08 --> 1397.22] So I'm going to have to set them up to use Jellyfin.
[1397.30 --> 1398.48] But I think that should be doable.
[1399.56 --> 1401.70] We want to test live TV if possible.
[1401.92 --> 1404.32] I've got a couple ideas because I think you've got the HD home run.
[1404.32 --> 1410.14] I want to try out live RTMP, RTSP streams, music playback apps.
[1410.68 --> 1418.24] The day I set up my Giraffine OS Pixel 7, I put Jellyamp on there.
[1418.50 --> 1420.68] And I never set it up, but I've been wanting to try this.
[1421.00 --> 1426.12] So, well, all I'll say on that topic is that Plexamp is a pretty high bar to match.
[1426.68 --> 1427.52] I completely agree.
[1428.02 --> 1429.74] It's even gotten better recently.
[1429.74 --> 1434.78] One of the more recent Plexamp updates added NFC tag support for playlists.
[1435.40 --> 1436.96] So I have a tag.
[1436.96 --> 1437.24] Really?
[1437.40 --> 1437.64] Yeah.
[1437.84 --> 1438.12] Yeah.
[1438.26 --> 1441.02] And I have a tag I scan and it just kicks off a Christmas playlist.
[1441.36 --> 1442.88] And it's brilliant.
[1443.38 --> 1443.60] Yeah.
[1444.12 --> 1446.48] Well, we've got some Jellyfin devs in the chat.
[1446.60 --> 1449.04] I think we can just add some feature requests right there, please.
[1450.16 --> 1450.66] But you know what?
[1450.70 --> 1450.98] We'll see.
[1451.04 --> 1451.92] Maybe it'll work out great.
[1452.00 --> 1452.64] And maybe it's good enough.
[1453.02 --> 1454.62] Audiobook playback is going to be a big one.
[1454.78 --> 1456.82] Also, for you and I, the spousal approval there is going to be.
[1456.82 --> 1461.50] My wife uses the crap out of Prologue and she switched to iOS because of Prologue.
[1461.66 --> 1461.86] You know?
[1462.12 --> 1468.38] So if we can't find something as good as Prologue, it's audiobook shelf.
[1468.44 --> 1468.98] Does that count?
[1469.14 --> 1470.60] No, it's not in the Jellyfin ecosystem.
[1471.06 --> 1475.52] So what happens if at the end of this, you like you've switched over to Jellyfin, but you
[1475.52 --> 1478.04] still have Plex just for audiobooks and music.
[1478.16 --> 1479.12] I could see that happening.
[1479.32 --> 1480.52] You know, I could see that happening.
[1480.52 --> 1482.64] I also going to try the same.
[1483.70 --> 1487.42] The smart TV clients got to be the Jellyfin client if you can.
[1487.88 --> 1492.42] And hardware transcoding, which is actually where things went sideways for me last time.
[1492.60 --> 1494.02] I never even could figure out why.
[1494.14 --> 1500.78] I was using the Linux server IO image and it was just like it just could not see the device.
[1500.86 --> 1505.56] Although inside, like if I opened up a shell in that container and the device was passed
[1505.56 --> 1507.38] through, I could see the device on the command line.
[1507.58 --> 1509.16] But Jellyfin could never see the device.
[1509.16 --> 1511.84] I should qualify the hardware transcoding thing a little bit.
[1511.98 --> 1516.26] There's things like HDR tone mapping and a bunch of other stuff that beyond just the
[1516.26 --> 1519.04] basics of getting, I mean, I'm using QuickSync, right?
[1519.18 --> 1521.78] There will be some people in the audience that are using NVIDIA.
[1522.52 --> 1526.18] And if you're going to take this challenge with us and you're using something other than
[1526.18 --> 1530.36] an Intel GPU, please write in and let us know how that hardware transcoding works for
[1530.36 --> 1534.86] you because I don't have an NVIDIA GPU to test it with in my server.
[1535.02 --> 1537.36] So let us know at self-hosted.show slash contact.
[1537.36 --> 1542.36] And then I think the final thing we should touch on is monitoring and metrics.
[1542.36 --> 1547.42] And I use the heck out of Tautuli, T-A-U-T-U-L-L-I.
[1547.82 --> 1550.20] I have no idea how you actually say that piece, that word.
[1551.04 --> 1551.30] Totally.
[1551.98 --> 1552.96] Is that what it is?
[1553.32 --> 1555.74] I'm not sure, but that seems like the right way to do it.
[1556.00 --> 1557.48] Uh, totally.
[1557.48 --> 1560.42] I mean, that's like you saying Tronna, isn't it?
[1561.26 --> 1561.62] Tronna?
[1561.78 --> 1562.48] At least he's not calling it Clarks.
[1565.12 --> 1566.66] Pre-show, pre-show.
[1566.74 --> 1567.94] Pre-show reference, yes.
[1568.04 --> 1568.20] Yeah.
[1568.26 --> 1572.64] So, I mean, just stuff like being able to see who's streaming what, at what bit rate,
[1572.72 --> 1575.26] and can I remotely terminate streams and stuff like that?
[1575.26 --> 1580.76] Because it happens surprisingly often that wife will pause an episode or something downstairs
[1580.76 --> 1582.12] and get distracted by toddler.
[1582.60 --> 1589.72] And then that program will just sit paused for the next nine hours or something.
[1589.72 --> 1595.50] And so occasionally I just go in and clean up the streams using Tautuli and that then
[1595.50 --> 1602.16] frees up the client on the Nvidia Shield and then the CEC turns the screen off for me.
[1602.38 --> 1604.68] So I have also had that problem.
[1604.86 --> 1610.02] You know, I've come home, wife was watching a movie, hit pause, got onto something else,
[1610.68 --> 1611.44] stayed paused all day.
[1611.48 --> 1612.04] That's interesting.
[1612.58 --> 1613.88] All kinds of metrics, really, right?
[1614.16 --> 1618.26] To me, it also would be useful with the three kids just to keep an eye on the TV usage.
[1618.26 --> 1620.14] You know, see how much TV they're watching.
[1620.74 --> 1620.76] Yeah.
[1621.08 --> 1622.10] Trends and stuff like that.
[1622.16 --> 1623.72] There's another thing I really love about Tautuli.
[1623.82 --> 1629.80] I can look at what types of things are transcoding, the reason why they're transcoding,
[1630.22 --> 1636.42] if it's a certain user that just isn't familiar with the fact they can go in and change it from
