Thanks David, I uninstalled 10.8.13 from the repositories and downloaded and installed the package from the tar file at the github URL and followed the manual install instructions on their web site, I didn't download the Fedora rpm's they had as like rpmfusion they were for 10.8.13 not 10.9.6. The github URL supplied by the client linked to a git version of Jellyfin, which only provided a zip file to download, but that zip file didn't seem to be set up to run Jellyfin on Linux, but that git version also had a folder that made it look like that package had patches to upgrade the version to 10.10.0. I would prefer the rpmfusion if I could get it assuming the 10.9.6 implementation is the same as their 10.8.13 implementation. With the server installed on my pc, when I access the server from a browser on my pc, the installed 10.9.6 implementation seems to be lacking features that the 10.8.13 version had, particularly from the admin interface, that make it simple to get back to the dashboard from the configuration interface. I will need to do some investigation, but 10.8.13 had a media type of "Photos" which 10.9.6 doesn't have, it seems to have "Home Movies and Photos", which seems to be defective. When I add my photos as a library it seems to be duplicating every photo in the library, which it doesn't seem to do from a "Movies" library, which 10.8.13 didn't seem to do. All the photos in the libraries I've created are all ".jpg" files, which Jellyfin seems to be having difficulty displaying, but at the moment I'm not sure if it can't or the speed of my NAS is making it very slow to load the files. I'll need to compare that with the loading of movies from my NAS as well. The other issue I have after setting up the activation of the server as a service, is that the client on my TV can't auto detect the server even though they are both on wifi and the server IP address hasn't changed from what the client was configured to when I installed it. Sorry, I don't have any insight into any of that. I only use Jellyfin for streaming video. I use Piwigo for my photo gallery.

When I need to allow a VM to expose services to an external network like your LAN, I set it up with a bridged network configuration. This configuration results in your VM being given its own address on the 192.168.1.* network and any ports it exposes to be visible to the other devices on that network.

There seems to be a huge number of files missing and not found. Are there any steps missing between downloading the deb file from the web site and running the alien command? Are there any steps missing between the alien command and the rpmrebuild command? I'm out of ideas.

rpmrebuild gave me a mere (almost) 1300 error messages.

Might be that I forgot to give you instructions to create the RPM
build directory tree that the rpm tools use. Do you have this tree
structure in your home directory?
~/rpmbuild
├── BUILD
├── RPMS
├── SOURCES
├── SPECS
└── SRPMS
If not, this command will create it:
mkdir -p ~/rpmbuild/{BUILD,RPMS,SOURCES,SPECS,SRPMS}
Once that structure exists, try running the rpmrebuild again.
Another, better, way to set up the rpm build tree is to install the
rpmdevtools package and run the "rpmdev-setuptree" script that it
provides. That adds a hidden ~/.rpmmacros config file that is used by
the rpm builder tools.

Btw, even though it's called "youtube"-dl, it can download from many

I use both 4kVideoDownloader and youtube-dl because neither of them

There are probably better wireless water leak detectors out there. To answer your question, the Raspberry Pi isn't battery powered but I suppose it could be. They run off USB power, i.e., 5VDC at various amperages depending on the model. The one I'm using for this application needs 2 amps. I run it off an extra cell phone charger I had laying around. So, I assume one could probably use one of those mobile phone charging backup batteries that are on the market to make it battery powered. Not sure what the run time would be on one of those however.

It's not USB-based like you asked for, but I wanted a temperature and humidity sensor I could place anywhere in the house and which could be read by my computer. My solution was to buy a Raspebrry Pi 3 Model B+ and a humidity sensor that plugs into its IO pins. That's ~$40 total cost.

I think the choice is mostly about how you plan to use the files after ripping them. As far as metadata goes, FreeDB or MusicBrainz provide backup sources for anything that you forget or lose. You haven't said whether or not you plan to dispose of the physical CDs after you've finished the rips. Keeping them around would be the ultimate backup source. -- David King d...@daveking.com ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org

After that I wrote scripts to put subsets of my collection in various formats onto disks for my cars, onto my phone, etc. I use MPD to drive both an FM transmitter in my house and a stream to the internet playing random songs from my collection. Recently I wrote an Alexa skill that does the same thing for the Echo devices in my house, letting me ask the Echo to play specific artists or albums from my collection. (Originally I uploaded everything into Amazon Music for this purpose but now they've announced that they'll be discontinuing the part of their service which supports large collections like mine.) So I really like the idea of using FLAC as the base and then doing whatever conversions are needed to suit the particular device or service that I'm using the music with. It might be true that I'm incapable of hearing the difference in quality but given that disk space is so cheap these days, the space I'd save by using some compressed format really isn't important. I've got 14,954 songs in 292GB. -- David King d...@daveking.com ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org
