I actually had that happen on the Android one a few years ago. I’m guessing the Apple one is years behind.

I’d rather use an Android TV box, so I can have Dolby Vision, etc.

Can it also redact text from documents without allowing you to just copy and paste it back out again?

Asking for a friend.

That would be scalpees.

So are closed source developers.

I use an nVidia Shield for it. There’s probably cheaper ones, but you tend to get what you pay for, and I’ve got a few 4KBR remuxes that even that struggles on.

Your server isn’t working today.

This is because Microsoft wants you to finish setting up your PC that has been running for ten years.

It’s basically HDR (the 10 bit display kind, not the Half Life 2 kind), but with more metadata.

What I find is that if you have a Dolby Vision capable TV, it will be already calibrated to something that looks good, rather than you having to fuck around telling it how bright “paper” is or some shit.

HDR displays are surprisingly tricky, even without Dolby Vision or HDR10+. Especially if you’re mixing SDR and HDR content on a display. I tried it a few years ago on Windows and it was flat out awful. I think they’ve fixed a lot of it up now with Win 11, but even they took their damn time over it.

MS do sell Atmos (and DTS:X) support as an individually licensed thing, threough Dolby Access and DTS Sound Unbound on their store.

I do wonder how it could work in Linux, as well as getting things like commercial streaming services in 4K.

Presumably some sort of black box hardware would be needed (for the super top secret Widevine L1 shit), the manufacturer of that can pay the Dolby fees, and then just some basic open source code to call the hardware features.

Yeah, it’s just what would work for me once I cancel Netflix Premium Plus with Reduced Adverts.

You’re absolutely right, that’s just me not wanting it for Jellyfin on those grounds.

For mainstream users, I would assume that Linux being unable to run streaming services at full quality would discount it as a serious contender as well.

Does it support Dolby Vision?

Because if not, I’m not sure how it’s going to compete with Android TV devices.

I think it mostly comes down to sharing stuff with others.

There’s a lot of stuff in Jellyfin you wouldn’t want to expose to the internet.

No idea if Jellyfin even has a client for my dad’s shonky old 4K TV, but I certainly wouldn’t be able to set up Wireguard or anything on it.

I had the point near the beginning of the file thing once and it was a really shitty file that only VLC could seek in.

ffmpeg fixed it, but I’ve no idea how because ffmpeg command lines are some arcane black magic shit.

Indeed. What you are looking for is a spreadsheet.

Don’t overcomplicate things.

Why do people use this when Jellyfin exists?

Jellyfin seems solid.

The only issues I’ve had are with dodgy media files. Obviously better player hardware gets you better performance, but transcoding eliminates some of those issues.
