If that is a true priority, then you do not want Android TV.

Not even a raspberry pi with lineage os?

You would also be hesitant with youtube and netflix

I know. As I said, I’d be using Jellyfin for the most part.


Help choosing an android tv box
- I would be using it to watch jellyfin mostly, but also youtube (I've seen that smartube looks good) and netflix. - Security and privacy are priorities. - My budget is up to 50 dollars. I've seen this one [onn Android TV amazon link](https://www.amazon.com/Android-Streaming-Device-Remote-Control/dp/B0BRBLG3W6/), is it any good? I'm new to the android tv box world so any help is appreciated.

in my case if I use mkv it starts transcoding and mp4 works fine on every device (desktop, android app, Chromecast, browser)


that surely is the issue. you can convert it to mp4 with ffmpeg: ffmpeg -i input.mkv -c copy output.mp4 If you want to keep subtitles this will probably work: ffmpeg -i input.mkv -map 0 -c copy -c:s mov_text output.mp4


you could double check the codec with mediainfo. also check it is mp4.


orgmode with neovim on PC and orgzly on phone. syncing with syncthing

Edit: I’m actually using orgzly revived, a community maintained version of orgzly, since orgzly is no longer mantained

For anyone who is interested in note taking in your everyday editor like vim or emacs, orgmode is an emacs tool (in neovim there is a clone plugin) for note taking, todos, agendas, etc. It uses a format similar to markdown, and a good part is that with the orgzly app you receive notifications for your events. So basically you can use orgmode as a calendar as well (I do!).

The metadata downloaded fine for '30 for 30', but even though I've tried many names for House of Cards, it doesn't download the metadata. I've tried 'House of Cards', 'House of Cards (2013)', 'House of Cards (US)', 'House of Cards (2013-2018)', 'House of Cards (US) (2013)'i, none worked. I assume this is an issue with metadata fetchers. I have the ones that come by default: TheMovieDb, and The Open Movie Database. Never had this issue before with any movie. The only other show I have is '30 for 30' and no issues with that one either. Anyone knows how to solve this? EDIT: It seems like TheMovieDb is not downloading any metadata for anything. When I click an actor in cast & crew section, no info is downloaded about anyone. Am I the only one having this issue? EDIT: When I configured my netplan to have a static ip on my home server, I forgot to set the DNS. After setting the correct DNS it is now fetching the metadata.

You can download the French movie and take the track with ffmpeg


I use Joplin. It supports syncing with OneDrive, Dropbox and NextCloud. Also supports encryption which is great if you are syncing to onedrive or dropbox.



I do it like this. Manage calibre on my PC, and copy the ‘Calibre Library’ contents to the server through ftp.
