Just a dude working on the Jellyfin Roku client while listening to punk records & watching horror movies.

  • 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.










  • 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.
