  • I appreciate the response, and as i said, I understand that jellyfin is completely accessible from PS4 even though there is no dedicated app. Unfortunately, that’s not an option for all the users in my household, which is why I’m running both a JF and Plex server.

    As far as PS4 not being designed as a streaming device, the fact remains that it does stream media, and since I have it in my house, it does serve that purpose when it is not being used for gaming. I’m not ruling out the option of adding a dedicated streaming device, but I am loath to the idea of trading in one data harvesting service (plex) for another.



  • The only reason that Plex has survived every service purge on my system is because Jellyfin doesn’t have a PS4 app. Every other device that accesses my media is going through Jellyfin. I have my PS4 connected to Jellyfin via DLNA, but asking my wife to give up the polished (turd) Plex app for the file-picker front end in the media player app isn’t a viable option for me.




  • Since they mentioned the workarounds but didn’t explain them, I’m copying my comment from another post a couple of weeks ago.

    Lemmy probably isn’t the target audience for this, here’s the steps to bypass the MS account requirement when setting up W11:

    Configure your keyboard, but before you select your wifi network press Shift+(Fn)+F10 to open Command Prompt.

    Type in the following command and press enter. Your computer will reboot: oobe\bypassnro

    After the reboot, configure your keyboard and location settings, and click the option at the bottom of the page to say that you don’t want to connect to the internet

    Click the link on the next page to “Continue with limited setup”, then follow the prompts to enter a username and password.


  • I agree, but I find something else even more weasel-y and annoying when I’m adding a second user to an already-configured W11 computer. If I’m adding them as a local account without a Microsoft account, I’ll use Tab to navigate through the process of creating a username, password, and security questions. After the last security question, I’ll hit tab to navigate to the “Okay” button at bottom left of the window, which seems like a reasonable expectation. Instead, Windows will highlight the “Back” button at the bottom right. If you aren’t paying attention and hit enter or space bar, you have to start all the way back at the beginning.

    I know that is a small dumb complaint, but when I’m setting 5 computers up in a row and tabbing through everything, my habits get the better of me, and I’ll have to redo it two or three times out of the five.

    When I was growing up, my dad had some sort of email server or ftp server or something for the university he taught at. I have childhood memories of trying in odin@[university].edu. My first fileserver at home was just called The Vault, but when I put together a dedicated VM server, it became Odin. The long term VMs that I host on there are named after some of the lesser Nordic gods. I also have a Pi running NginX for reverse proxy passing, so after the latest season finale of Loki, that seemed like an appropriate name for that device.
