The feature from web browser I use most that is missing from the Roku app is the option to increase playback speed.

Yeah, this one comes up pretty often. Roku provides us no method to change playback speed, unlike web browsers or other players, and because we are required to use their video playback component, our hands are tied.

The only thing we could possibly do is have the server transcode the video ad a different speed; however, the API doesn’t have this option and currently no one is working on adding it.

If you’re really a/the Roku app dev, cheers.

🍻 Yep, it’s really me. Cheers.

I’m what ways do you feel it’s stripped down?

I’m always looking for new feature requests to make it better 🤘

I need to see the full section from the srt file.

Can you post the entire section here or share a txt file with it? Include the subtitle section before and after the problem section.

OHHH. That’s what Jellyfin is!?!

…and Roku apps are very good

🤘

Neat

No plugin required.

In finamp, navigate to a song and hold your finger down on it until a popup shows.

From the popup, select instant mix.

It’ll create a mix of songs based on the one you first selected.

Dude, you’re the OG! We’re just iterating over what you created.

I sometimes think Jellyfin gets on Roku devices because none of the little snots at Roku’s corporate office have taken notice, fallen through the cracks and forgotten about.

For one, they moved from open source to closed source without notice.

through re-sign-on after that latest update that forced it

I’ve racked my brain to determine WHY that happened, but the only thing I can guess is Roku saw the channel differently because I packaged it instead of the previous person, so the config didn’t port over /shrug

Never had that happen before.

congrats!

Thanks!

😆 Ok buddy.

Opinion of 1 Jellyfin programmer

I mention JellyFin because at some stage it will become a business and they’ll start charging too,

Citation needed.

or it will get left behind because it’s free.

What do you mean left behind? By who? Anyway, what’s wrong with being left behind?

We’re not beholden to anyone. We’re not in competition with anyone. We’re not in a race, so I don’t understand how we could get left behind.

We’ll keep doing what we do with the amazing team of people who volunteer their time, and other solutions can do whatever they want to do, I don’t care because, again, it’s not a competition!

🤘 Enjoy

My suggestion would be to post this in the troubleshooting forum. The troubleshooting team is amazing at helping finding resolutions to things like this. Much better than I, that’s for sure😆, I’m just a programmer.

Yeah, the server is logging that it can’t parse the SRT file. Sounds like it has issues that need to be resolved before it can send the subtitle text over to the Roku client.

Straight off the noto font repo: https://github.com/notofonts/noto-cjk/tree/main/Sans#region-specific-subset-otfs

Couple of things to note.

The Roku has very little file space. Ensure your fonts are as small as possible!

Also, Jellyfin will only grab the 1st font returned by the API. Even if you have a folder full of fonts, whatever is listed first is what it’s going to grab - even if it’s a font file format that Roku can’t use.

I suggest using the otf format. It’s what I have and confirm it works with custom subs.

Due to these limitations, my suggestion is to only have 1 otf font file that is less than 5mb in the fallback font folder.
