  • I'd add New York Dolls to that list too.

  • 👋I personally find AI amoral, so I don't use it.

    Models trained on open source software, contribute nothing back to those software repos, give zero authorship to those original authors, and packaged up to sell back to us programmers.

    Not to mention the resource impact of their massive data centers.

    I don't want anything to do with it.

    And after 25 years of professional programming, this is increasingly looking like the hill I'm going to die on.

  • I use mine as an MP3 player. I put Finamp on it, loaded it with music, and listen during the day.

    🤘 I'll take it!

  • A mixed playlist is a playlist of mixed media. Movies, shows, audio, etc. all mixed together in a single playlist.

  • Once you get into it, it's not that bad.

    I liken it to the love child of Classic ASP and JavaScript.

    🤔 ...ok, maybe it is that bad.

  • Roku only offers me shuffle in shows. Is there a way I can enable it in music

    Want to shuffle play your entire music library?

    On the home screen, move the cursor over the music library and press PLAY on your remote. It'll play 2000 random songs.

    What to shuffle play all songs by an artist?

    Go to your music library and switch to one of the Artist views. Find the artist you want and press PLAY on your remote. It'll play their songs in random order.

    What to shuffle play a single album?

    Go to your music library and switch to "Albums" view. Find the album you want and press * on your remote. Choose "Shuffle Play Album"

    You can also do this with any album listed on the home screen.

    Or, in the upcoming 3.1.0 release, I've added a Shuffle Play button as part of the redesign of the album screen.

    and/or is there somewhere I could donate something small to your time to add a shuffle button to roku’s music client?

    If you feel so inclined, donation links are at the top of my GH profile: https://github.com/1hitsong but money isn't why I do this.

  • Which client were you using? Android? Roku? etc.

  • I put my time and effort into the Roku client because I'm not a C# programmer.

  • Thank you angry video game nerd 🤓

  • The code I wrote that I use most often is music playback in the Jellyfin Roku client.

    I use it almost every day and think it's pretty cool 🤘

  • I've done karaoke once, and the song I chose was Blink-182 - All the small things.

    So, I guess that's my go-to song.

  • ...and nothing of importance was lost.

  • The feature from web browser I use most that is missing from the Roku app is the option to increase playback speed.

    Yeah, this one comes up pretty often. Roku provides us no method to change playback speed, unlike web browsers or other players, and because we are required to use their video playback component, our hands are tied.

    The only thing we could possibly do is have the server transcode the video ad a different speed; however, the API doesn't have this option and currently no one is working on adding it.

    If you’re really a/the Roku app dev, cheers.

    🍻 Yep, it's really me. Cheers.
