When in Large Text Mode, information is truncated with ellipses "..." Here's a proposal for a better solution, which might help in regular text mode also.

Using Large Text Mode

In the feed we see posts appear like this:

The community appears as "green..."

This could show the full community name and post username, allowing line wrap, followed by a newline and the counts on the next line.

So instead of

O green...
^ 433 v 1 O 100% O 8h

This could instead show

O greentext@sh.itjust.works 
by user@instance 
^ 433 v 1 O 100% O 8h

Yes allowing line wrap might break the text at non-whitespace characters, but I think that would still be ok. E.g.

O greentext@sh.itju
st.works by user@instance 
^ 433 v 1 O 100% O 8h

Similarly when entering post and comment view

This could instead show

O greentext@sh.itjust.works 
by user@instance 
^ 433 v 1 O 100% O 8h

Then when viewing the comments

Rather than:

psycho_... ^ 14 v 0 ... 5h

You could again allow line wrap and add a newline between the user name and the vote counts.

This could instead read:

psycho_whatever@instance 
                       ^ 14 v 0 ... 5h

This should still be okay for wrapping long user names that don't wrap on whitespace characters. E.g.

some_long_user_name@so
me_long_instance_name 
                       ^ 14 v 0 ... 5h

Also user profiles do not render well in Large Text mode.

I don't give a shit about reddit's DP program.

The first two or three emails I was willing to ignore. But they keep sending these.

How desperate do you have to be?

This sloppy bash script generates the above html players table from this site:

Maybe this can be expanded to track player eliminations.

Hopefully this code posts correctly...

echo "</div>"

Server: Ubuntu.
Client: Roku.

When I play an episode of a TV show, if I pause I see the name of the episode, but it doesn't show which season or episode number.

E.g. I might see:
Lisa Simpson, This Isn't Your Life

But I would like to see something like:
s22e05 - Lisa Simpson, This Isn't Your Life

Or maybe even better, something like:
The Simpsons - s22e05 - Lisa Simpson, This Isn't Your Life

Is there some way to enable this?

Additional question...

This is even more annoying because sometimes when I pause, or fall asleep, or shut off my tv/roku, the "Continue Watching" list on the home screen doesn't even have where I left off. (Sometimes it does. That seems like a bug to me.) So then I have to go track down the season and episode number where I left off.

Some questions and comments on my experience.

My main motivation to switch was that emby seemed to be buggy on the client side, keeping track of what episode of what tv show and season I was on. I'm hoping jellyfin helps with that.

On the server side, I wanted to keep both servers running. But there were port conflicts. It was difficult for me to find in the Jellyfin docs the right config file to set the ports. So I ended up changing the emby ports. (Since I could find the emby config files.)
