Beets can organize your music library. It uses musicbrainz IDs to identify songs and albums, it can move/copy the files into folders. You can also convert files right away. I created additional mp3 files and moved Thema into a separate folder for use on my phone to save space.

There are plugins to normalize the volume. Loads of dstuff. You just have to set up a config file to your needs and you are good to go.

Don’t threaten me with a good time.

The article lists four things about the cyclist.

1. “not wearing a helmet”

Admittedly a no-go for me. There a lots of options for anyone.

2. “was wearing “relatively” dark clothing”

“Relatively” already gives the impression that we aren’t talking black, just that it wasn’t a signal or hi-vis color.

3. “using an earphone”

This wording makes me think the cyclist used one earbud and not both or full headphones. So he could hear his surroundings well.

4. “his front light may not have been working”

Not even a fact, but a possibility.

To summarize, he was a traffic participant in a non-signal color, listening to music. That’s it.

Of course cyclist are more vulnerable than cars, but anyone who sees fault in the cyclist behavior is often overlooking similar or worse behavior in drivers.

Nobody ever asks the owner of a black car if they have a death wish or ask someone to turn of the radio, because they can’t hear the traffic as well.

I wish people would hold all traffic participants to the same standards.

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 currently trying out Pinchflat on my NAS .

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