I’m surprised that the cockroaches weren’t mentioned. Though I suppose they’re not much of a health risk, as long as you’re not allergic…

Questions about how to present radio shows on Jellyfin

Jump

That’s too bad. Though it seems like there’s a cross platform client that does remember playback positions: nautune.

That’s probably good enough for me when I make the switch.

Edit: seems to be a vibe-coded app, and I haven’t seen any way to install it.

There’s probably a more well known client that saves the playback progress.

I wanna move to jellyfin somewhere next year because of Plex’s user-unfriendly practices, but I haven’t yet. It good to hear from @TunaLobster@lemmy.world that improvements are coming.

Here’s what I did for my podcasts in Plex that might just work for Jellyfin too:

I created a separate music library for my podcasts, and checked the settings for remember play positions and prefer local metadata. (This is probably all plex specific)

I then edited each mp3 file to contain the following metadata:

the podcast name as “Artist”
the category of episodes as album
the season of the episode as disc number
the episode number as track number
the episode title as track title

I’ll give some examples:

The Delta Flyers is a podcast that discusses episodes about Star Trek Voyager and Star Trek Deep Space 9. This episode discusses the third Voyager episode of season two, Projections.

Artist: The Delta Flyers
Album: Voyager
Disc: 2
Track: 3
Title: [2020-08-31] S2E03: Projections

TrashFuture is a comedy podcast about politics, technology and the future. It has mostly regular episodes, but some fall into a specific category.

This is an episode in the category Britainology that discusses specific moments in British culture.

Episode title: Britainology 79: UK Garage feat. Dan Hancox
Artist: TrashFuture
Album: Britainology
Disc: 2024
Track: 79
Title: UK Garage feat. Dan Hancox

This is a regular episode from sept 11th of 2023 that discusses bad construction in the UK:

Episode Title: RAAC City feat. Well There’s Your Problem
Artist: TrashFuture
Album: TrashFuture
Disc: 2023
Track: 0911
Title: [2023-09-11] RAAC City feat. Well There’s Your Problem

For a weekly podcast this is around 50 episodes per disc. If you have a daily show, you might want to use “disc: 202309 track: 11” instead, and/or split each year into a separate album. E.g. Album “TrashFuture 2023” Disc: 09 Track: 11.

I hope this gives you some inspiration in how you can manage your radio shows.
