Re:What's wrong with EU age verification? (Nothing) on Wednesday July 01, 2026 @10:51AM (#48747816)

Re:Why I use Jellyfin for my home media library on Thursday October 27, 2022 @06:59PM (#33365162)
I'm very happy with the Infuse app connected to Jellyfin (also paying the $10/yr for the extra features).
I have an AppleTV connected to my Samsung TV, and almost never use the Samsung remote. The AppleTV remote's on/off button switches everything together (through CEC I believe) so in everyday usage I only ever need a single remote.

I love Matt Pharr's blog [0]. He's one of the authors of the Physically Based Rendering book [1] and his blog is mostly centered around that topic, with really well written and interesting articles.

Infuse has support for Jellyfin.
Personally, I've grown very fond of ReactiveUI (https://github.com/reactiveui/ReactiveUI) over the time I've been using it. While the learning curve upfront is rather steep, I think it's absolutely worth it.
