Jellyfin: why is the line two different colors?

Admin page. My parents watching this movie. Wondering why some of the watching progress line is blue and some of it is orange/reddish?

My guess: Transcode process

This. The blue line is the watched progress and the orange line is the transcoding progress.

Looks like it's mostly being covered by left-wing and neutral sources.

It's always funny to me that blue means left to americans.

It was never set in stone until the 2000 election.

They don't realize the colors are arbitrary. Many don't realize the internet spans the world.

Socialism and democracy are good words in some countries. Socialism is how my sister in law gets to retire at 55 and in excellent health, and democracy is how they got that.

And red is right... maybe Weidel and Musk were correct, Hitler was actually a communist/socialist?

@ReedReads Blue is watched, red is how far live transcoding is

Maybe it's watched vs buffered?

Don’t forget about https://lemmy.ml/c/jellyfin !

Thanks for this. I’ll post there next time!

Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 14 pts · 278d

Forget it. Instead post on the forum.

Anyway:
Blue: Current playing progress
Red: Transcoded progress (how many more time units are already transcoded so you can skip forward without buffering)
Gray: Yet to be played/processed.

Do note that a lot of people/instances have lemmy.ml blocked, so you may get less responses if you post there.

What's wrong with lemmy.ml?

This probably isn’t the place to discuss it too much, but it’s a whole bunch of political nonsense they partake in

The video is either being transcoded or direct streaming (audio only being transcoded). The red line is how far ahead that process is.

Don't know about the admin page, however, the client on my tv does that if I watch half of it and continue watching at a later time.

If it's not connecting to the seeker it could be meta data highlighting opening/endings of episodes
