Oh boy, where do I even start? This comment is wrong in multiple ways. Let’s break it down:

1. “The way triangulation works is by essentially measuring distance.”

   • Nope. This describes trilateration, not triangulation.
   • Triangulation uses angles, while trilateration uses distances. GPS works via trilateration.

2. “1 satellite distance puts you anywhere in a radius (circle) of that satellite.”

   • Kind of, but missing a crucial detail:
     • A single satellite defines a sphere around itself (not just a circle—you exist in 3D space).

3. “2 Satellites puts you at 1 of 2 locations where those radiuses intersect.”

   • Wrong. Two satellite distance spheres intersect to form a circle, not just two points.

4. “3 satellites gives you a single location.”

   • Mostly right, but incomplete.
   • In theory, three satellites narrow it down to two possible points, but one is often out in space or somewhere unrealistic, so it can often be ruled out.
   • However, because your device lacks an atomic clock, it typically requires four satellites to synchronize time properly.

5. “That’s why it’s called triangulation. Tri = 3”

   • Nope. GPS does NOT use triangulation.
   • The “tri” in triangulation comes from angles, not the number of satellites. GPS uses trilateration, which is based on measuring distances, not angles.

Final Verdict

This comment is a trainwreck of incorrect terms and flawed explanations. If they meant “trilateration,” at least part of it would make sense, but calling it “triangulation” completely ruins their credibility.

So, in short? No, their comment is very incorrect. 🚨

Are you on Chrome?

It has not worked for me in over a year to the point I’ve had to use other apps like Swiftfin (is also broken, I compiled it myself to fix a few things but never could get my code upstreamed), or SenPlayer or Infuse. SenPlayer works well enough honestly, but I am glad to see active development of the Jellyfin iOS app!

If it came to that, the SD card would be confiscated and/or the camera smashed.

Which search engines would do that?

This is a feature that Jellyfin natively has already. So now Jellyfin exceeds Plex in some areas.

Which client are you seeing the issue on and can you provide more info on the type of embedded subtitle (run mediainfo on the file if on Linux)?

I was replying to maybe share the wrapper script I wrote, but if you’re going to be a jerk about it…

What are the issues you’re having with Jellyfin’s subtitles? Do you know if there is an open bug report or feature request that is tracking the same?

Jellyfin is a fork of Emby which was written in .NET. The server backend and web page are all (or mostly) .NET is my understanding. It makes use of external programs like ffmpeg on the server or VLC on the apps.

Can you describe the subtitles issue you’re having? Do you know if there is an open bug report or feature request open on github or Jellyfin’s website?

• I’ll have to check but I haven’t had an issue with the transcoded files filling up.
• Subtitles work as expected for me but all of my file names are in English, are the ones you’re having problems with file names in another language perchance?
• That last one I fixed myself by wrapping ffmpeg around a script I wrote that forces 5.1 to transcode to AC3 so it goes to my speakers properly.

I think the question is, can it do all those other things without having to log into your YouTube accoubt?

Wow. I was thinking of setting up immich. Why is it crippling your unraid server?

This is what I found, a Discord bot. Hopefully GP comes back with an answer.

I completely agree. This shit came down when they had their failed social circled thing where they broke search operators and required a Google account for YouTube. They’ve been on the full-blown path to enshittification ever since.

I don’t disagree, but what more could Google do here? They had a flaw in their system that required two completely different services at Google in order to exploit and the result is an email address, not access to the account itself. Google also is actively paying for people to help them find these issues. I think they did a stellar job here, but of course being perfect with the security if the software implementations is always the best case.

Luckily no, but someone else on Lemmy has had this happen. It sounds like it would be a very bad time haha.
