  • I don’t do DRM, so the majority of my workflow is simplified. Download to the correct directory, auto-imported by Calibre and flagged for review of metadata, manually review metadata, convert to epub3 (even if its v3 to v3, I’ve removed wonky behavior before by doing so), export to appropriate directory for the OPDS server.

    Basically the same for audiobooks, but dropped into the directory for AudioBookShelf.

    What phone do you have that the jellyfin app and the jellyamp app are unavailable?

    Edit: Also you can support subsonic with jellysub acting as a go-between. Considering its not a music-first solution, I’m not surprised that it doesn’t support subsonic natively, personally.

    Edit 2: Its unmaintained but works as of the last time I tried it out, fwiw. It isnt exactly a complex codebase either if something got tripped up by minor changes.













  • Yeah I’m not debating that there is fear mongering about this at all, just - as you noted - this is not about protecting users. Thats a farce.

    This is about Google trying to close up their ecosystem, device first. That is the issue I take with this whole situation, its a clear step in that direction being marketed as something it decidedly is not.

    And I think Android users should recognize what it actually is, and try to find a different option than Apple or Google going forward.


  • Good! I hope alternative mobile operating systems get traction out of this!

    We’ll see. The plan for now is a tcl flip with hotspot and a clamshell linux box in my pocket.

    And again, there is no verification need anymore!

    Please read the very first sentence in that slide. Then read through those steps again (and look at the steps inside of those steps).

    Yes, there is a need still, or there are a series of annoying, anti-consumer steps involved, in an effort to have a walled garden.

    Android and Google are not worth supporting over this. Again, not dealing with the play store first and thoroughly tells me this has nothing to do with security. If it did, they wouldn’t be going this route.



  • we could make Google directly reliable for malware in the appstore.

    There is no reason they shouldn’t be now. Developer verification for the play store is one thing. Developer verification for installing an application on your own device is wholly separate.

    I declare both as a risk.

    And one is substantially higher risk than the other. Namely, the play store. As we recently saw with tens of millions of downloads from just a handful of apps in the play store. Does requiring this developer verification on a device resolve that problem? No. Not even remotely, does it?

    While this started as a very anti consumer change

    As long as it impacts the device use (it does), it still is.

    I’m leaving Android over this. I doubt I’ll be the only one.
