😞 He doesn’t like our Roku client.

“works OK”

🤘 I’ll take it!

A mixed playlist is a playlist of mixed media. Movies, shows, audio, etc. all mixed together in a single playlist.

Once you get into it, it’s not that bad.

I liken it to the love child of Classic ASP and JavaScript.

🤔 …ok, maybe it is that bad.

Roku only offers me shuffle in shows. Is there a way I can enable it in music

Want to shuffle play your entire music library?

On the home screen, move the cursor over the music library and press PLAY on your remote. It’ll play 2000 random songs.

What to shuffle play all songs by an artist?

Go to your music library and switch to one of the Artist views. Find the artist you want and press PLAY on your remote. It’ll play their songs in random order.

What to shuffle play a single album?

Go to your music library and switch to “Albums” view. Find the album you want and press * on your remote. Choose “Shuffle Play Album”

You can also do this with any album listed on the home screen.

Or, in the upcoming 3.1.0 release, I’ve added a Shuffle Play button as part of the redesign of the album screen.

and/or is there somewhere I could donate something small to your time to add a shuffle button to roku’s music client?

If you feel so inclined, donation links are at the top of my GH profile: https://github.com/1hitsong but money isn’t why I do this.

Which client were you using? Android? Roku? etc.

I put my time and effort into the Roku client because I’m not a C# programmer.

The feature from web browser I use most that is missing from the Roku app is the option to increase playback speed.

Yeah, this one comes up pretty often. Roku provides us no method to change playback speed, unlike web browsers or other players, and because we are required to use their video playback component, our hands are tied.

The only thing we could possibly do is have the server transcode the video ad a different speed; however, the API doesn’t have this option and currently no one is working on adding it.

If you’re really a/the Roku app dev, cheers.

🍻 Yep, it’s really me. Cheers.

I’m what ways do you feel it’s stripped down?

I’m always looking for new feature requests to make it better 🤘

…and Roku apps are very good

I sometimes think Jellyfin gets on Roku devices because none of the little snots at Roku’s corporate office have taken notice, fallen through the cracks and forgotten about.

🤫

For one, they moved from open source to closed source without notice.

through re-sign-on after that latest update that forced it

I’ve racked my brain to determine WHY that happened, but the only thing I can guess is Roku saw the channel differently because I packaged it instead of the previous person, so the config didn’t port over /shrug

Never had that happen before.

congrats!

Thanks!

😆 Ok buddy.

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!

👋😢

🤘 Thanks

🤘 Enjoy
