I guess if, as this person says, the intended use is made clear then presumably so long as the original logs from which the report was generated are retained then there shouldn’t really be an issue. Make your nice, digestible reports that normalise over a workday and give a more grand overview of progress, and if they smell a bit too rosy or you just sometimes need a more granular accounting of time then clients/bosses can request the original raw data from the contractor/employee. Maybe this software itself should include some ability to retain a log of the processing that was done so that the relationship between its generated reports and the source data can be more clearly audited if some kind of a trust issue arises.

The hope I guess would be that you make it clear that this is a more executive summary style of report that you’ve added as a courtesy because it’s more useful in context and that’s hopefully enough for whoever you’re reporting to but if they want more transparency or detail it’s all there for them too.

Not in this particular scenario, used Chrome specifically to to cast from jellyfin. The option is there but it didn’t work. I think it might actually work if I tried a few more times because I noticed it seems temperamental like that, but that’s not really any good because I don’t want to be asking nicely for casting and maybe getting it if it feels like it. I’ve also noticed that with jellyfin, if the source media is decent quality to begin with, it casts at much poorer quality than with emby and takes longer to eventually end up screen. Sounds like a transcoding problem but I wish I knew why exactly because the horsepower is there and it’s handled with aplomb in emby. It works okay with the android app on the live tv function which is mostly SD anyway but it craps out after about every 10 minutes of watching.

Never occurred to me it was optional. I’ll have to check if there’s a setting for it.

I figured it out! I have one folder which has various media in it, films, short videos, games etc, when I set up Jellyfin, I said it was mixed content, that seems to have been the key mistake. Setting the library as ‘shows’ fixes things right up and restores the ability for me to select ‘identify’ if I need to, though it seems I don’t even need to now. It also seems to correctly identify the movies in there despite them not being ‘shows’ so I’m not even sure what the option of mixed movies and shows is even for.

yep figured out the same thing in the end. Not quite sure why I can’t do it from the desktop, it’s obviously supposed to work, and nearly did given the text on my TV screen. I think with enough finagling one could get there, but if it works with the phone which is always on me anyway then whatever.

Thanks fella, so nice of you. Your screen shot along with @tordenflesk’s is helping me at least see I’m not missing anything too obvious. I don’t have the same menu options, which is weird. Here’s what mine look like, they’re the same in the android app as well. https://imgur.com/a/2J5plE8

I don’t know what’s happening with me but there seems to be whole sections of the UI that people can manipulate that I just haven’t seen at all. I’ve tried navigating blindly around the server dashboard and the home screen and I have no identify button nor a series overview for that matter. Feel like I’m missing something super obvious. Driving me nuts.

It’s a chromecast 1, from 2014, can you install apps on those?

Seems not to do anything. No way to edit this ID number for series, and for individual episodes, it has no effect.

Yeh it looks like you need the play store version. I think they just copied their description of the app there on to f-droid or something. It seems like based on some older forum posts that you can do without play store as I’ve seen people talking about reverse proxies and nginx servers but I really didn’t want to be going to all that trouble.

Is this possible to do without changing the filenames on disk? Don’t want it to mess up other processes and it’s named pretty logically anyway.

hmm okay, it almost sort of works with desktop web ui. There is the familiar square with radio waves in the lower left corner icon, when controlling jellyfin from my laptop, but it said Google casting not supported, however I realised now it was because I was using firefox, and using Chrome for this purpose does reveal the theoretical ability to cast to chrome. Unfortunately if you do this, it takes a very long time to begin casting and when it finally does, it simply displays the words Jellyfin for Chromecast but not any media. Trying to start or stop any kind of media doesn’t not work until I disconnect from the chromecast.

On the app, there is simply no ability to use the chromecast from the casting menu. Does it matter that I got it from f-droid? I thought it might, but it specifically said you could cast the chromecast there so I thought it’d be fine after all.

Didn’t know about those in Chrome. Sounds good, though I’ve always just grouped my Firefox tabs by having a browser window of tabs per logical group

Wow, this article kinda makes me want to see it.

Is that including the r/Australia main sub? I didn’t go there very often because, well, it’s just going to parochial at best but it was somewhere I’d see the occasional top post now and then. I probably first ever visited it and spent any time there around 2013 and it was weird man. It was so hardcore right-wing and overly political that it was impossible to browse it functionally, if I actually waded in on anything explicitly political in nature it was a nightmare. I also even had weirdly innocuous stuff I said just straight up deleted by mods, I’d never up until that point had interaction with any reddit mods so that felt just crazy. That was an abiding and striking memory of the place that I found very odd indeed and weirdly out of step with the experience of reddit in general. One gets used to their bubble and Reddit had always felt like 20-30 something year old male liberal-ish tech enthusiasts so when you accidentally step in to a mixture of a Liberal voter retirees and the One Nation fan club it’s disconcerting. It meant that I was even less likely to ever really see or actively seek anything from that corner of Reddit.

A few years later I returned there, I can’t remember when this would have been but I guess maybe 2018-ish? And then it’d gone a lot more normal. It’s a general forum and there for interaction so I try not to describe and analyse exclusively through the lenses of 2 dimensional political leanings but it’s useful here and I think it was accurate to say, it’d settled on a mainstreamish slightly left of centre type of crowd for most posts where politics featured. This was noted by the occasional disgruntled conservative who disliked having to be in relative minority, but nowhere near the vitriole of before. I always wondered if there’d been a cleaning of house or something, and how that managed to happen if so. I also always wondered where the previous majority of One Nation admirers had scurried off to. Having also quit Reddit a year ago, obviously I’ve not been back and between 2018 and last year I wouldn’t have been in r/australia a great deal anyway, but if it’s gone full Murdoch as your describing I wonder what weird forces were at work to bring it back to its former repellant mix of visitors and moderation policies.
