  • Can you verify if Jellyfin is remuxing without transcoding? I.e. changing container but without touching the frame/audio data.

    I believe while you playback it should say in the administration panel, in the card that represents the active session you have this issue in.

    Remux and transcode happen on disk, unless you manually set the temporary path to a decently sized tmpfs partition.

    I solved a similar issue doing exactly what I just wrote: tmpfs (can’t recall what its name is under Docker) and set the transcoding path accordingly. I also had to tweak the transcode files’ lifetime:

    • Limit trancode checked
    • Remove segments checked
    • Limit after: 30
    • Segment lifetime: 1800

    This has done wonders for me for both on-the-fly remux and transcodes, but I had to reserve a beefy tmpfs (I think I have like 8GB set right now).

    I used to love it, but wiki.js 2.0’s editor is very unfriendly to non-tech users. 3.0 could’ve been the solution, but after waiting over and over for wiki.js 3.0 to release, after being years late on their schedule and with less and less blog posts (the last blog post about 3.0 is two years old!!) we chose to migrate to Bookstack.


  • Honestly, given that they should be purely compressing data, I would suppose that none of the formats you mentioned has ECC recovery nor builtin checksums (but I might be very mistaken on this). I think I only saw this within WinRAR, but also try other GUI tools like 7zip and check its features for anything that looks like what you need, if the formats support ECC then surely 7zip will offer you this option.

    I just wanted to point out, no matter what someone else might say, if you were to split your data onto multiple compressed files, the chances of a bit rotting deleting your entire library are much lower, i.e. try to make it so that only small chunks of your data is lost in case something catastrophic happens.

    However, if one of your filesystem-relevant bits rot, you may be in for a much longer recovery session.



  • I am using bazzite for gamedev and it is AWESOME.

    It is immutable but ships with distrobox and boxbuddy, which lets you easily create linux containers with mutable systems (i.e. I am currently developing on a fedora container with Qt Creator, for example) and you can install your packages in that terminal.

    No chances of breaking your main OS.

    I set up my instance like follows:

    Boxbuddy -> New distrobox container -> Fedora -> Give it a name.

    Wait for the installation (should be about 300MB IIRC).

    In the start menu you will now be able to run your instance’s terminal (search for your instance name).

    sudo dnf install qt-creator

    Back in boxbuddy, in my instance I selected “show installed gui applications”, selected Qt Creator -> Add to applications menu.

    Qt Creator then shows up in the start menu (search for either Qt Creator, or your instance name).

    It will run in the container, but has full access to your home directory for development.

    I could then install all my other required packages from the same terminal that I installed qt-creator from.

    Easy peasy.

    Disclaimer: Typing from my phone. The instructions may not be exactly like I said, but those are the steps.

    No terminal magic is needed in Bazzite to make this work.
