jellyfin-docs VS lutris

I had issues getting it to stream directly to my TV. It wasn't easy to find but what solved it for me was changing the DLNA profile settings like this example: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-docs/issues/233

It kinda depends on what languages you wanna work with and if you wanna be in the server or in a client. There's a rudimentary/incomplete (and probably somewhat out of date) source tree document located here.

Indirectly possible with NGINX: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-docs/pull/689

Seems skimpy.. below is JF HA Accel documentation. https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-docs/blob/master/general/administration/hardware-acceleration.md/

If the developers don't provide instructions it'll be harder. But, for example, the maintainers of the Jellyfin project (an open source media system for playing local files) have an extensive page of instructions here for how to install it on various types of systems. They recommend using docker containers on Linux, and have instructions for that. But if you scroll down further they give you line-by-line commands to run on different types of Linux systems.

I found some documentation on the manga / comic specific metadata providers here, but note that no online metadata provider has been added for mangas / comics. It's all based on local files or on the ones used by books.

This has been submitted as a PR to the jellyfin docs page, and would love to see it get merged in there too!

For the file structure, there is some documentation on GitHub. Or you could use the documentation for books. As there is no online metadata provider (right now), it doesn't matter that much. The naming scheme of the comic documentation on GitHub is similar to the one comictagger uses (which is a ComicVine scraper).

Depends on your media but here are the integrated Intel capabilities. https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Hardware/QuickSync . Here is the general transcoding page: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-docs/blob/master/general/administration/hardware-acceleration.md/

You can get Lutris: It's an open source launcher that you login into with GOG account and it will download the games and wrap them with Wine, similar to Steam.

For "normal" games you could look yourself using ProtonDB regarding every game released on Steam and AreWeAntiCheatYet for most multiplayer games. If a game isn't available on Steam you have three possibilities. First if it's available on GOG, Epic Games or Amazon Gaming, you could use the Heroic Games Launcher. Second you could try to run the launchers through Steam itself using once again Proton. Third you could try installing it with a script or tutorial in Lutris or Bottles.

Can I suggest you head over to the lutris.net site and follow the link the lutris discord - with what you are describing, it would take me 20 minutes to get the base battle.net working so you can see what is causing your issue or 3 days back and forwards here. As a hint, your wine version has known issues, and unless you manually installed the lutris 0.5.14 from the git page in Mint, or are running flatpak, you have other issues related to that

Hmmm I remember there was some confusion in Lutris around this, like https://github.com/lutris/lutris/issues/4237 , and I had to do some workaround. But I can't check what exactly right now...

As a data point, you can run a fair number of Windows games under Proton by using Lutris instead of Steam:

* https://lutris.net

* https://github.com/lutris/lutris

It's an OSS game launcher that takes the place of Steam, and you can set things up to run locally so you don't even need an account on their system (lutris.net).

ProtonDB is a community list of Steam games rating their playability. Heroic launcher runs GOG and Epic games. Lutris and Bottles can be used to run everything else.
