  • Edit: whoops, just realized you said freezing not crashing, and probably have a separate issue. I’ll leave this here in case it helps anyone that finds this thread with crashes a couple minutes into videos.

    Had this issue ages ago, then my dad did too a year later on a different client version. Manually changing the “preferred media player” option fixed it on my firestick 4k, 4k Max, and my dads standard firestick.

    Jellyfin app>settings menu>Playback>Video section>preferred media player>libVLC (in my case, Exoplayer seemed to be causing the crashes approx 2 years ago but you can try both, I just tried exoplayer again and it doesn’t seem to be crashing either when set manually now so it may have been patched)





  • Most (all) of the creators I watch have patreon/buymeacoffee/merch/sponsored videos. I’ve heard from many of them that the amount of ad revenue they receive from YouTube is a rounding error compared to that. No reason every single creator on peertube cant put a link in the description to donate, sell merch, etc and its not conditional on tiptoeing around youtube’s ai fuelled demonetization that constantly steals the little ad revenue they would have otherwise received

    For the downloading media part:

    The *arr stack is what you’re looking for + Jellyfin for streaming (Opensource, 100% free, and much better than Plex).

    Prowlarr: manage your indexers

    Radarr: find/automatically download movies

    Sonarr: find/automatically download tv shows

    Jellyfin: streaming your media

    Look up trashguides for setting up all this stuff, very detailed guides. They are compatible with torrents and Usenet. I like using docker with portainer for easy management and if you use a VPN container you can selectively route these containers through the VPN so your other services that dont require the VPN dont need to route through it.
