🤔 Technically, #1 could mean buy a new, other type of, device.

🤘 Glad it was useful.

🤘

Yes, I did, with a local company instead of a remote company like I worked at previously.

Yep. When I got laid off last year my goal was 10 applications a day.

Most resulted in no response. Of those who did respond, most were boilerplate rejection emails.

In all honesty, I don’t think I could live with myself and, at least currently, think I’d rather find a new career path.

Using AI is amoral and I will never use it. As a programmer, every day it feels like I’m increasingly the minority.

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.

Thank you very much, but please don’t feel like you have to!

I have some peeps donate $1 a month, and it’s awesome knowing they care enough about the stuff I’m working on to contribute!

👋I personally find AI amoral, so I don’t use it.

Models trained on open source software, contribute nothing back to those software repos, give zero authorship to those original authors, and packaged up to sell back to us programmers.

Not to mention the resource impact of their massive data centers.

I don’t want anything to do with it.

And after 25 years of professional programming, this is increasingly looking like the hill I’m going to die on.

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.

The code I wrote that I use most often is music playback in the Jellyfin Roku client.

I use it almost every day and think it’s pretty cool 🤘

it would be great to be able to do that from the Roku app too

Welp, good news for this one. This feature has been available since version 3.0.0.

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 work on Jellyfin. I once posted saying Plex is not a competitor because we are not in a race, so there is no such thing as “winning.”

So… many… angry… responses.

Tiger Army can release 10,000 songs that sound exactly like In The Orchard and I’ll gladly buy em all 😆
