I have much more powerful hardware than you but Jellyfin shouldn’t take more than a few seconds to load directories.

That has been my experience as well with accessing it via the web interface. I read up on the kodi addons a bit more. As I understand it the jellyfin addon integrates the jellyfin library and has to sync it. I think this causes the delay for me. I think I will give Jellycon another try, since it accesses the libraries themselves. I will take a look at my media management and refine the folder structure to make it work.

TBH I find Jellyfin works best with media that can be scraped or that I’m willing to create nfo files for.

Metadata is actually an aspect I have little trouble with. There are solutions for TV and movies and pinchflat actually provides metadata for the youtube videos in a format jellyfin can use.

Pinchflat - How do I get media into Plex/Jellyfin/Kodi?

Thanks for the links. Since my youtube use would mostly consists of single videos, this might work for me.

Thanks for the info.

I used the piped addon for youtube.

I have been using piped and invidious in the past as well, but with youtube cracking down more and more I have trouble finding usable instances at all. Hence my switch to freetube, which mostly works so far.

I'm not that invested in the switch 2 discourse, but always chuckle when someone says "now I can play Zelda at 30 fps or more".

Paying for a new console, because the last one was incapable of playing games at an acceptable framerate is a weird argument for your purchase.

Some Nintendo games are undoubtedly masterpieces, but that doesn't excuse some of their business decisions.

I'm currently trying out Pinchflat on my NAS .

Freetube sadly blocks me a lot and having the videos stored locally removes a lot of hassle.

Check out refurbished Thinkpads T480 (14in) in your area. I basically got one that basically ticks all your boxes. Additionally mine has 32GB RAM, 500GB NVME SSD and a free slot for another small formfactor NVME card. It has one internal and one removable battery, so you could get an additional one to switch on the fly.

The T480 was the last Thinkpad model with "real" upgradability and was a popular business choice. Companies unload them in bulk. When I was looking for them the availability was good.

Damn, for me Jeff, Dan and Mitch/Mike formed the new nucleus and were quite entertaining.

Usually I am open to change, when it comes from a creative directive. However Giant Bomb seems increasingly to be jerked around by corporate interests in faster intervals. I have doubt's that GB will keep its identity and not just be a name.

Y2K is similar. Most people will remember not much happening at all. Lots of people worked hard to solve the problem and prevent disaster.
