I guess most people know about the movie web app site, which pulls videos from various sources.

Recently they added a request to download an extension to your browser, for optimal perfomance and better quality.

It is featured on the firefox android extensions site from Mozilla, it has a github page. What I read online is that it seems the extension wants access to everything you do in your browser, which seems kind of sketchy.

What do people here think about it? Anyone installed it and can say more?

Edit: thanks for all the comments, looks like less people knew about this than I thought.

Not sure this fits in the community but I felt it is an important topic that needs visibility. Researchgate made a deal with MDPI to prefer some of their journals on the site over other publications or journals. It will likely be impossible to know if suggestions you see in the future are genuine or paid for by this deal.

MDPI made a post on their site about this https://www.mdpi.com/about/announcements/7051

I could not find an announcement on the Researchgate site so far. Possible enshittification of Researchgate up ahead?

Is there any good FOSS app that could record the phone GPS location, but keep the data locally on the same phone, no dialing out?

Like the Google Maps location history, just not sharing it with Google services.

I need some help with some new suggestions for what I want from my tiny homeserver, made up by a Raspberry Pi 4 8GB (passive cooling case) and an external hard drive. That server will not be reachable from outside my home network, if that makes a difference for suggestions.

I am looking for an easy solution that works well on the limited resources of the Rpi. What I mostly need is an app I can self-host that has a nice and well performing gallery function, I got tons of old photos from when I still used digital cameras a lot. Those are already sorted in folders, and I want that app to not mess with that at all, just read them basically.

What I also need is for that app to be able to auto-upload new photos from my phone regularly, so I can include them more easily in backups of my server. I also do not want them to be weirdly hidden in some strange folder structures, so that they remain accessible if I want to change apps again down the road.

Here is what I tried already: Photoprism - loved it in general, but all the indexing was super slow on the Rpi of course. I didn't really need the AI features of it either. It also made quite big thumbnails for the image analysis so it would really add a huge requirement of a ton more storage space just for features I did not want to use, I understand those could be downscaled but the process seemed tedious and resource-intensive. Overall wasn't practical for the Rpi, if I had a stronger server I'd try again.

Nextcloud - thats the current solution I am looking at, since it got all I want. Auto-upload, easy access, no resource-heavy features I don't need. But overall, it is pretty slow on the Rpi for scrolling through photo libraries. I found today the NC Photos app on Google Play Store, which seems to work better than the Nextcloud App to look at galleries, but still seems slow.

Aside from that I found out about Immich, but cannot test it right now since my Rpi runs on 32bit. But it sounded to me like a lighter type of Photoprism app, maybe not fair to say, I know its supposed to be like Google Photos. But the stuff it does for face recognition and what else makes it sound again like a choice I won't enjoy using on the Rpi. Maybe that is an unfair view? I see recently the feature that allows external libraries in it, was added, so that fits my needs.

Anyway, thanks for reading all this, I will end with the question, are there any other solutions that I haven't considered so far?

I am going to soon start over with my homeserver that has jellyfin running on it and I'd like to take over all user accounts on there plus their collected data, like watched episodes, into the new installation. Its a linux system, no docker, next system is going to be the same basically.

Via searches I found a few solutions online, some on reddit, some other places so it seems possible. Just asking here as well since no one has asked before, seeing this is a quite new channel, but also because all solutions I found go back a few years and I wondered if there is anything more recent I may have missed in my search.

Some solutions were heavily hands on looking up data in sql tables, if there is anything more user friendly it would be great.

I have had this issue for a while now that I cannot go to my previous comments or replies to my comments in my inbox, meaning I cannot tap on them to get to the post they are in.

Instead it briefly shows the post, then all content is gone and its a completely empty page. Just see the top and bottom bar essentially.

How to reproduce, just go to your profile, go to comments or posts you made, tap on one. Same for replies in my inbox.

I am having issues subscribing to !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com, but I do think it also happens with other communities on different instances.

I subscribe via the main button or via the plus in the search function. The community may appear in the sidebar, sometimes it does not at all, but whenever I restart the app the subscription is fully gone.

Weird thing is, on another app for lemmy I can still see I am subscribed, so I am not sure what is going on.

After making the theme Ponyo for Eternity based on color palettes extracted from Ghibli movies I chose now the color palette of Kiki's Delivery Service to make a new theme: Kiki

Hope you like it, I will post the theme in the comments. I took the screenshot from this community feed since the theme preview did not show the color of the notification bar correctly.

I want to connect to my server via ssh on my phone, then rename a bunch of files with a batch rename function. Are there any open source file managers that do that?

I checked Ghost Commander but didn't look like there is a batch rename function, neither for Material Files. Unless I miss something.

I set all my libraries to save artwork into media folders, but somehow it does not work. Its a linux installation, no docker, media is on an external harddrive.

File permissions are set to 775, I haven't tried giving full permissions yet though, I just realise. Then again, does Jellyfin count as other for permissions?

Anytime I add something new, I do not see any files showing up in the media folders. It did work some time ago but I have no idea when and what happened in the meantime.

Found a github issue but there is no follow up https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/issues/8026

Any idea what to check? The logs don't seem to show that metadata/artwork is saved?

Second question, once I got it working, is there any way to move all existing artworks into the media folders too?

Here is a theme I originally made for Infinity on Reddit, but it seems to work nicely in the app still. It is based on the colors of the Ghibli movie Ponyo, I found a palette on this site and decided to use it for a theme: https://ewenme.github.io/ghibli/
