Komga is a server app that manages comics and manga and makes them available via a web interface, has multi user management and multiple library support with read tracking and such.. think Plex for Manga.

I access it from my Phone and my Boox e-ink Tablet and if I use the webui it tracks where I've read up to between devices.

I use a program called FMD (free Manga Downloader) I have it running in a container on my server and have a bunch of series watchlisted, when chapters are released it download them, converts them to CBZ and they appear in my Komga Library which I can access via web browser or Tachiyomi on all of my devices anywhere in the world.

I'm not familiar with Jellyfins current UI as I havent used it since the very first beta releases, but it will be in the settings somewhere.

is refresh rate auto switching enabled?

This is likely a Jellyfin issue as auto switching may not work on multimonitor systems and especially when moving the player between windows.

Very weird looking tearing, but if you are playing 24, 25, or 50 FPS content on a TV or monitor that is locked to 60HZ it is going to tear, some handle it better than others.

I suspect your output is set to 60hz or something and you are watching content that isn't at either 30 or 60 and your playback software isnt doing autoswitching (kodi, plex etc do this, but not web browsers or apps like netflix)

So it's not a hardware fault, its just the reality of watching media on a computer with an external display, so it's a software configuration problem.

Also, considering the severity of it, are your video drivers up to date? that amount of tearing is close to what you'd see when running standard vesa drivers like when you have no video driver installed at all.

Hold up, Stroganoff 2 just dropped

(it's chicken thigh strog on rice, that's stroganoff 2, try it, it's magic)

make sure to lick the letter seal really good and wet so the stroganoff doesn't fall out.

It's tonight for me. Might have stroganoff for dinner

Man I could go for a Strog right about now too

I also run my HA on a nuc (beelink mini s12 with n95) proxmox with the subscription nags disabled, installed HA via the install script rather than from scratch, also have a Linux VM running a kiosk browser for a non-interactive dashboard feed (unifi cameras, power, weather, reminders etc) into my video distribution system that also runs a fileflows node in the background for quicksync video encoding tasks to be offloaded to it from my main server

I was having stability issues with the pi based setup I had before, as well as performance limitations I wasn't expecting considering how simple my setup is, though i do have a complex nodered setup running all the logic as I prefer to do it in there rather than in HA directly.

Yea there's very little public information on hacking anything other than android boxes and most of the more extreme stuff will break apps like Netflix or Disney+ so the best thing to do it leave it effectively stock, load on a hacked youtube client, with a dummy google account if you really want it private and your personal streaming client of choice (Plex, Jellyfin, Kodi etc) and then do some filtering/ad blocking in your network to lock it down.

The only caveat with an SBC is codec support varies greatly between distros you use on them, and you have to work out your own control/remote situation. I moved away from them for media a few years ago because I was sick of having to tinker and reinstall things because some codec was broken or the screen was tearing, or an update broke something requiring terminal access to fix. If you want a proper home theatre setup with full HDR and lossless surround support it's not worth the trouble.

NSPanel Pro is easy to unlock, debug mode is enabled by first setting it to a cloud account but you can just use a dummy account for it. it is just android so enable ADB then load a lightweight launcher, change some defaults, remove some fluff and go from there.

The regular NSPanel is not android but can still be modified as it is ESP32 based.

if you really want e-ink, an older e-reader with hackable firmware could be a good way to go, but without a printer you'd have to pay for a printing service to make the mount, which would likely take a few iterations to get right so it wouldn't be particularly cheap. I want to see something about the size of the Boox Palma or Hisense A5 but with a wallmount, POE and some basic sensors.

You can jailbreak many older Kindle models, some require soldering to an internal serial port but then you can load a custom browser with a fullscreen mode, I even had a VNC client on mine to access a VM for a full PC interface.
