YouTube is running an experiment asking some users to disable their ad blockers or pay for a premium subscription, or they will not be allowed to watch videos.
Hell yes!! I have been using Freetube to watch Youtube without using a browser, and it is awesome. I have started using yt-dlp to pull videos I want to watch on my TV, such as The Repair Shop when they put out full episodes.
But, I have been doing it manually, and serving it using Jellyfin, which does not organize channels well.
Yeah I have it downloading to a folder which is monitored by Jellyfin, makes the whole process automated. Protip, set the MEDIA FORMAT string to sort into season folders, and have the filename look like the way you normally format season-episode, so that Jellyfin sorts it properly. I use: Season {yyyy}/{source_full} - {yyyy}x{mm}{dd} - {title_full}.{ext}
Unfortunately I’ve been having issues with filenames atm, tracked under https://github.com/meeb/tubesync/issues/371
That sounds cool. I have not had time to mess with my server… I decided to distro hope. openSuse is promising and I like it, but installing Nvidia drivers is kicking my ass for some reason and there seems to be an issue of not being able to wake up after sleep, so I am going to try very hard to fix those before I give up and distrohop again.
Anyways, I actually did follow the folder guides for youtube videos the same as shows. It really helps the metadata programs find the info, it seems.
I think it also depends on the channel. Like VSauce and The Repair Shop has everything filled out, but smaller niche channels like Vagrant Holiday do nothing.
You know what, I will look at it again. I seem to have a problems every time I move away from Debian, and I have been rocking MX Linux for awhile, and as great as it is, it cannot support everything that has moved on to SystemD. Also, as comfortable as I am with XFCE, I don’t really like it… BUT I hate KDE so anything else is better.
Yeah, if I can’t work out my problems with openSuse, I probably won’t have better luck with Fedora. So, back to Debian!
You were not exaggerating, Linux Mint is MAGIC!. Everything about this distro is so clean and well put together. Cinnamon is everything I wanted out of XFCE.
I cannot believe I slept on this because I dismissed anything associated with Ubuntu. I have been so stupid. I have wasted so much time, and haven’t even really gamed on my new computer.
I finally feel like I can commit to learning Blender and get back to Godot.

This is so much better!

For what it’s worth I recommend linux mint. There is a gui for graphics driver installs. You click the yes please button and you’re done 😊

I spent an entire weekend troubleshooting nvidia drivers on raw debian, specifically mint has really good driver support.
Hey, guess what you just convinced my to do? I am going to download Linux Mint and start using it!
I used to care about having the latest packages, having the DE look good, make it my own way, whatever.
I just want to use the hardware I paid for, damn it!
You are special and I love you.
