That’s awesome!
Which era of singers did you see?
Just a dude working on the Jellyfin Roku client while listening to punk records & watching horror movies.

Seen Collective Soul 3 times. They bring so much energy and each show was different.
Helping test!!! We on the Jellyfin for Roku team have been begging peeps to help test code changes and releases before they are published for years. We get oh so little response, so it mostly ends up the two of us test each others changes on our 2 or 3 devices and if it works, it goes out.
We’re begging for testers. I’m sure other projects are as well.


I forever thought the chorus of Billy Squire’s song The Stoke was “Slow dance jug band.”
That’s how I sang it when I was a kid and I simply never reevaluated it as I grew up.
I’d add New York Dolls to that list too.


😞 He doesn’t like our Roku client.


I use mine as an MP3 player. I put Finamp on it, loaded it with music, and listen during the day.

“works OK”
🤘 I’ll take it!


Roku provides us no method to know you exited the app. If you don’t press stop, pause, or back out of the video player and instead simply press Home, the server will think you’ve watched up to the end of your buffered amount of the video.


A mixed playlist is a playlist of mixed media. Movies, shows, audio, etc. all mixed together in a single playlist.


Once you get into it, it’s not that bad.
I liken it to the love child of Classic ASP and JavaScript.
🤔 …ok, maybe it is that bad.


🤘Enjoy


Roku only offers me shuffle in shows. Is there a way I can enable it in music
Want to shuffle play your entire music library?
On the home screen, move the cursor over the music library and press PLAY on your remote. It’ll play 2000 random songs.
What to shuffle play all songs by an artist?
Go to your music library and switch to one of the Artist views. Find the artist you want and press PLAY on your remote. It’ll play their songs in random order.
What to shuffle play a single album?
Go to your music library and switch to “Albums” view. Find the album you want and press * on your remote. Choose “Shuffle Play Album”
You can also do this with any album listed on the home screen.
Or, in the upcoming 3.1.0 release, I’ve added a Shuffle Play button as part of the redesign of the album screen.

and/or is there somewhere I could donate something small to your time to add a shuffle button to roku’s music client?
If you feel so inclined, donation links are at the top of my GH profile: https://github.com/1hitsong but money isn’t why I do this.


Which client were you using? Android? Roku? etc.


I put my time and effort into the Roku client because I’m not a C# programmer.


What features do you see as missing?
The client uses Roku’s built-in language capabilities. If they set their language on the Roku device, the client will use that language.
I’ve done karaoke once, and the song I chose was Blink-182 - All the small things.
So, I guess that’s my go-to song.
😆 That’s a good one!
