Hey, I have the latest build installed, scrolled through a bit and started a short film. Here is the shot of the debug view.
It also says that there are two configs. Where can I find them so that I can delete one?

well, "two configs" has no relationship with the image issue. can you keep the debug view on, then enter into the view which cause images problem

It says only : request image operation was aborted by anapplication callback

Yes, as you started a short film before image load complete, so log print

aborted by anapplication callback

But this log has no relationship with the image issue for collection page too.

Please keep the debug view on, then enter into the collection view which cause images problem

Any idea when Switchfin will be able to download the movies for offline viewing? Like on a plane?

So no matter what I do, or no matter which menu or something similar I go to, the same thing always happens. No matter how long I wait or something similar.

but where is the log?

Hi, I believe there is still no support for .strm files since none of my movies work and I get the error "timeout was reached".
Is there anything I can do to solve this or just wait for future updates?

I cannot get any of my movies to play words. All regular sounds work like music, walking, etc, but no words

the movies work on my iPhone and Apple TV but no options work to get the words to work somehow.

Silly question: One of the things I like about Plex is remote access from anywhere. I just got done setting up Tailscale with my phone (so I can stream remotely), but is there any way to set up Switchfin/Jellyfin so I can remotely access my media outside of my home network?

I did a cursory search on Tailscale + Android TV (LineageOS 22 TV is my Android flavor on Switch ATM,) but it appears Android TV is having issues keeping the Tailscale service live (in the background,) so I was trying to see if this could be accomplished through Switchfin instead.

if you do not have public address , https://github.com/heiher/natmap is useful for you

My setup is tailscale + a domain that point to a reverse proxy server on my home setup. It might be a bit complicated at first to setup but once you get the hang to it, you can access your media from anywhere and it's fairly secure. The domain is setup to point to a local ip address so it's safe from prying eye, and with tailscale. Switchfin won't be able to this on it's own but it you have install tailscaled on a mobile device, if you create a hotspot and connect your switch you should be able to stream without issue, considering your have a good bandwith

I've got Tailscale setup and I'm able to run it to most devices that have Tailscale available. I'm just not sure how to do the reverse proxy server bit. I read into a bit about subnet domains, but I was wondering if you had any good reading material available.

I have a phone that's connected through Tailscale, and unlimited data (lower priority, but I live in a small town so no biggie.) Literally my only issue is bridging the gap to remote non-Tailscale devices.

there as 2 things to consider :
first is using tailscale as a subnet router to allows certain device that cannot have tailscale to be accessed : for instance you can't access your nintento switch or an IOT device.
the second thing is to setup a reverse proxy server that will convert FQDN into IP address.

so for in my case, tailscale is acting as a subnet router and redirects my connection to my home network. If I'm at work or on the go, once I open my tailscale vpn, I can ping my local devices that are at home, such as my jellyfin server ( in my case http://10.0.0.127:8096).

the reverse proxy server that is hosted on a docker container is (10.0.0.60)

i've setup a domain and have pointed the domain name to the reverse proxy server ( 10.0.0.60).

in the proxy server, I've created an address for jellyfin so that when in my browser I type media.djakku.net (for example) , the reverse proxy points it to 10.0.0.127:8096

on the switch on my android device, instead of putting the ip address, i put media.djakku.net.

have a look at this article, it's not exactly covering the scope of what you're trying to achieve but you would see how to setup the reverve proxy server.
this plus tailscale is a good match for my use case although it was a big learning curve, I am satisfied with the result so far.
