Metube docker image worked pretty great for me as a downloader

It’s actually very simple:

monitors-on:

#! /bin/bash

hyprctl keyword monitor DP-1, 2560x1440@144, 0x0, 1

hyprctl keyword monitor DP-3, 2560x1440@144, 2560x0, 1

hyprctl keyword monitor HDMI-A-1, disable

monitors-off is basically same thing but reversed:

#! /bin/bash

hyprctl keyword monitor DP-1, disable

hyprctl keyword monitor DP-3, disable

hyprctl keyword monitor HDMI-A-1, 0x0@60, 1

es-de

I’m still working out some kinks with audio so I don’t wanna go down the rabbit hole hell that is pactl and pavucontrol in this post. But that’s more of a universal Linux gripe I have than distro specific.

Obviously you’ll need to tweak the script to what your specific setup is. The first numbers are x & y axis and the second is refresh rate. This is just an example. It’s also Wayland only but you can do this in x11 no problem

As far as “remotely” switching, I just assigned the scripts to keybinds in the hyprland config file. Super easy.

Adding onto this a bit as I also use a KVM to stream games from my bedroom PC to the living room 4k TV.

Hyprland has been great for this. I used to use KDE, then i3. KDE was a PITA for this setup, no fault of their own it is just fundamentally a different one, and i3 worked to some extent but I was still constantly fiddling with stuff to get audio and video exactly how I wanted to (and to do it easily).

Hyprland just works for me and I love it. I press a keybind and run a script I wrote to turn off my desk monitors, set audio, and launch the emulator front end (emulationstation-DE). Which can also launch all my steam and lutris games, as well as emulators all the way up to PS3 and switch games.

I even mounted a remote start button on the wall and turn my PC on from the other room

As in watch the media not on my own network or have other users do the same from their homes.

Music is another big one that jellyfin can’t compete with Plex with in its current state. I currently have 718 GB of music that I stream with plexamp when I’m driving.

I get that it may be technically possible but that is leaps and bounds different than having my senior dad make a Plex account on his fire stick so he can watch movies with his niece, or my fiance’s boss is in the hospital with cancer right now and is watching things on his iPad.

I already have a hard time getting people to just make a Plex account and watch on my server and that’s the “easy” route.

Do you have a guide somewhere on how to set it up? I’ve poked around online and didn’t see anything short of tailscaling your container to a web browser which I don’t want to do for a few different reasons (opening ports / security mostly)

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think jellyfin offers remote access to your media

I used the names of the eldrazi from magic the gathering:

Ulamog: desktop PC Emrakul: NAS / Plex server name Kozilek: NUC mini PC
