huh. I didn’t know others couldn’t do this

Mixing an upper with a downer. Got it.

👍 Fair enough.

I’m a JF developer and personally use Kavita for my books 🤣

Especially funny since Jellyfin falls on it’s face (or at least stumbles and makes difficult) trying to do most of what I actually use my Plex server for.

Do you mind sharing what things it falls/stumbles with? We’re always looking for feedback to make it better.

🤘 Enjoy

PR opened to merge the remote subtitle function into the next major release: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-roku/pull/1694

Here’s a breakdown of how it works: https://forum.jellyfin.org/t-movie-remote-subtitle-management?pid=15806

I played around with the remote subtitles download this afternoon. I got it working. Still need to clean it up and get it looking nice, but here’s a demo of it in action.

Thanks for taking the time to reply.

The first would be the ability to shuffle a playlist. I loved that shuffle was added episodes a while back.

This is possible today with the current release.

Click on your Playlist library. Then, on the grid of Playlists, highlight the one you want and instead of pressing “OK” press “Play” on your remote. It’ll shuffle play the highlighted playlist.

For the subtitle one, I’m unsure what capabilities the API offers us and what functionality Roku would support, but it’s at least worth taking a look and seeing what’s possible.

The Roku client has made some amazing improvements and I’m thankful for those devs, but it’s still behind the Android version in terms of features.

Any features in particular you find yourself missing?

The Roku app, from my experience, is the best client for Jellyfin.

Works really well mostly though the interface could look slicker.

Our first priority is stability and functionality. Roku’s built-in UI components aren’t the prettiest, so if you want anything “slick” it has to be a custom element and you’ll need to custom code all the behind the scenes logic yourself. That’s a ton of work just for a UI change, so we’re focusing on functionality first.

I’ve always wanted to try it. They passed around a bottle to sniff on the brewery tour and the thick maple syrup smell was intoxicating.

The upcoming Jellyfin Roku release has a quick method to play a random item from each of your libraries, but we don’t have random sorting so you can see the list.

I’ve never seen that requested before. I’ll add it to the Roku client idea list.

Also from them “All my balloons are popping!”

We’ll get it added to Roku one day 🤞

I’m the firestarter. Lint ball firestarter.
