Just a dude working on the Jellyfin Roku client while listening to punk records & watching horror movies.

  • 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!



  • I was a bad student, but a great standardized test taker.

    I placed into advanced classes, but had zero interest in learning or studying.

    Once I hit high school I was done for.

    Geometry, Calculus, etc. I could never wrap my head around why I would ever need to know any of it in my daily life, nor could I envision the practical application of any of it.

    So I would zone out or sleep.

    Now, trying to help my daughters with their math, it might as well be hieroglyphics.













  • 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.
