Dude, I have YouTube music and I literally am not able to change or upgrade to YouTube premium. They don't let me, it links me to a useless empty page with no options. I don't even know what the price is like. This whole subscription thing is a mess.

I solved it by using YouTube revanced and have all premium functions and more. On desktop I wrote my own player. It's so much better because their website is a mess. At this point do I really want to pay for features I know I won't use?

Yep, the api in jellyfin is quite easy. Someone already sent the link to the docs. The specific endpoint you want is Sessions. You need to get yourself an api_key which you can get in the admin panel. Here is an example code in Python to give you an idea on how to use the api:

#!/usr/bin/env python3

import requests

response = requests.get("http://your_jellyfin_server:8096/Sessions?api_key=your_api_key")
json = response.json()

currently_watching = []
for session in json:
    if "NowPlayingItem" in session:
        currently_watching.append(session["UserName"])

if currently_watching:
    print("Currently watching: " + ", ".join(currently_watching))
else:
    print("Nobody is watching")

If it is indeed Python that you want to use, you can adjust it to your needs depending on what you want it to output.

Basically, it is as simple as looping through every current session and checking if they have a NowPlayingItem key which is only present when they have a video open (both playing and paused). It works very reliability, I am using it to automatically change my lights when I watch a long video or movie.

Both this and Lurch's comment. It gives an answer without actually answering it, it even hallucinates broken links.

Any good photographer will shoot in raw. And in order to get a picture it has to be processed on a computer, there is no way around it. I wonder how that's supposed to work with these watermarks.

The --delete flag is already in there so it should empty the camera_backup folder, but the robocopy will copy every single photo back into it the next run.

Ah, I am not familiar at all with Windows, so I honestly wouldn't know. Does the Immich CLI even work on Windows?

But going off by the comments and the parts I understand, I guess it could kinda work, assuming that the arguments are all correct. Although, it will try to upload all photos every time, regardless if Immich already has them or not. Which is not ideal but I believe Immich will filter out duplicated photos. But it's worth checking if it's indeed smart enough to do that.

For the Immich command it will upload the files to an album called "Camera_Backup". Not sure if that's what you want. If not, then remove the -a flag. If you want to upload it to a specific album, then instead add '-A albumname' (edit: I realize I might be wrong here. If you have multiple folders in Syncthing you're backing up it will work differently)

I understand you. I also don't use the auto upload feature as it's creating more problems for me to solve than what it fixes. I already had Syncthing running anyway so I currently use that combo (except I manually sort through my photos on a semi-weekly basis before I upload it to Immich).

If you want, I can cook up a little Python script you could stick into Cron to do all the tasks you described. I haven't worked with the Immich CLI yet but I'm sure I can figure it out. Send me a message if you're interested. I will probably use it myself as well.

Yeah but instead of a function you just make it an alias.

Isn't this the same effect as just running 'sudo !!' ?

I love that idea, and I'd love to implement that. But I honestly can never figure out how people are working with services that enables the user to change settings (for example, to set their location to get their local weather) while still maintaining a read-only system.

With ublock origin I haven't encountered popups for weeks. They update pretty much every day to keep on top of the YouTube changes.

The only time I really got popups was when another extention I had was making ad changing modifications to YouTube which I didn't realize at that time.

It looks and sounds like hiccups to me? How long does he have it, does it go away? Of all the hiccups I've seen with dogs, over half are with puppies just because of how wild they are.

That only works if you're using the website. I'm in sync and just want it to open in the YouTube app.

Yeah, kde connect can control media players on your desktop and automatically pause them when a call comes in. To make it work with Firefox I do now realise it might be limited to kde desktops only though. But if you have that, all you need is to install the plasma integration extension for Firefox (which does a couple of cool things) and then kde connect can see Firefox's media as well.

The first time it paused my YouTube video inside Firefox when a call came in on my phone, it blew my mind. And then when the call ended, it just casually resumed the video. I love it. That, the clipboard syncing and easy sharing of files between devices make it absolutely awesome to have.

Isn't app development a recurring cost? It's not like you just work on it for a bit and just forget about it once you got a version out. Especially if it's using a service (lemmy) that is still in development and is constantly changing.

I get that on hot after only 5 posts. Everything after that is a minimum of 1 year old, and only the first 3-5 post are recent. It's kinda funny reading the comments on those posts as there are a lot of lost people commenting on it right now, thinking it's something recent.

Most likely if you don't visit for a week, you will get logged out. But if you do visit before it expericed, it just resets the cookie for another week.

I'm not on kbin so I cannot check, but that's my guess.

I don't know about it. Look even at the usernames. It's @name@instance.addr, it's structured like an email. Even for instances, /c/piracy is not a thing, it is !piracy@lemmy.ml in Lemmy world. Even Mastadon has the same structure of name@instance.

Every community has their own sets of rules, own set of moderators and culture. If you don't like how one is moderated, go to another one (basically how reddit works too, except there you need to change to name to make an alternate community)

Regarding not being able to make new communities: We're all federated. What's wrong with making a community on a different instance with your lemmy.ml account?
