💥Exciting news💥

After a year away (and 20 viv releases!), I have returned to the #Jellyfin #Roku team and am bringing #viv along with me.

What does this mean?

1. viv has been brought under the Jellyfin umbrella and the new Jellyfin on Roku 3.0.0 is based on viv!

2. There will be no further viv development, which makes sense because viv has literally become Jellyfin on Roku.

3. I'm now the Jellyfin Roku team lead 🤯 and will continue working on the client and directing the client just as I did on viv.

viv users, I'm ecstatic y'all used the client and went along with me on this ride. Rest assured all the reasons that made you choose viv in the first place will continue now that we're "official" again 😆 Our punk spirit will continue!

Continued thread

When I posted about #Roku autoplaying ads on the home screen It had not started for me yet. I just had my first autoplaying ad.

I literally hit the home button to take it off screensaver so I could open #Jellyfin on #Viv and an #ad for Mona movie played with the audio.

This #enshittification has pissed me off to my core. I have been a Roku owner since it was branded the Netflix Player. Matter of fact I still have that first ever device somewhere in a box in the garage.

This is out of bounds

Roku Community · Video Ads Autoplaying on HomescreenJust turned on my TV to see a video open on the home screen and play some trailer? I hope this was a fluke. I trashed all of my Amazon boxes years ago because of this garbage. If it keeps up, my Rokus will be next.

#viv version 1.1.7 has been scheduled to be published on #Roku on Mon, Mar 10 2025 at 05:00 PM Pacific Time.

This morning I added the ability to mark items as Played/Unplayed from the item option menu in the visual libraries.

As usual, the most difficult part was getting the check-mark to show/hide on the item when the data changes. #Roku does not make it easy 😆
