v0.8.3 - The UX Refresh Latest

Released by @majora2007

v0.8.3 9c34c19

The much-anticipated UX Refresh is finally here. After over a year of planning and two months of development (including a brief trip to Norway/Finland), this update delivers a major overhaul to Kavita's user experience. Inspired by the design language of Plex, this release aims to make Kavita the Plex of reading platforms, both on mobile and desktop. The changes have been met with overwhelmingly positive feedback from nightly testers. Here are the highlights of what’s new.

Colorscape

One of the most significant new features is "Colorscape," a dynamic tinting system that adds a colorful gradient background to pages with cover images, much like Plex's movie detail pages. This feature wasn’t easy to implement, requiring extensive work on CSS gradients before landing on a solution. Users can turn Colorscape on or off and customize it with themes, allowing theme creators to modify how it looks. The feature do

Hello!

currently i use Jellyfin for my music library but i am not really happy with it. I used to use Plex and it was wonderful but... here we are...

I already tried Navidrome but for me a crucial feature is to be able to import spotify playlists and rebuild them with my local library.

For jellyfin there is a plugin that does that and it works 90% of the time. But even after finding several scripts and docker-composes i could host i was never able to properly import my spotify playlists into navidrom. Reason why that is so crucial is that i use spotify to build playlists, make song-radios and add them back into the playlist and then i download this playlist using various tools.

I then rebuild these playlists inside my music library.

Now i found Music Assistant 2.0 for my HomeAssistant and it's incredibly awesome! Being able to fully use my sonos speakers and group them on the fly is amazing! But using song radios inside it with my jellyfin as the media provider apparently uses je

I know that this community will fall to the exact same destiny as they all do. 999 posts wanting a Drunkenslug invite and if all the stars align we get a once in a lifetime post of someone offering an invite.

Many of Usenet users don't actually know they can invite people and help others to their first steps into that scene.

So i beg of you, take a look into your profiles, find those invite buttons and offer them here! They will not be of any use if they just get dusty in your profiles, we need those invites in the community!

There is absolutely nothing for you personally to gain here, other than the satisfaction of helping others.

Thank you all and cheers!

After my guides over on c/piracy i assume some new people will look for usenet invites. Maybe someone stumbles over this one here.

So now that we've setup our arr-stack and are able to download stuff either via usenet or torrents we can actually set up something to consume our media on!

I've used Plex in the past and while it is a much more polished experience than jellyfin, the decisions made by the plex team are not really confidence inspiring when it comes to privacy. So i've switched over to jellyfin and i am more than happy with it!

Jellyseer on the other hand is a much more polished UI for Sonarr and Radarr. It connects to your jellyfin instance to chech what is available and it connects to your sonarr and radarr instance to tell them what you want to download. It's super simple, has an integrated browser for all shows and movies for you to find and looks really frigging good. This is also amazing if you "offer your services" to friends and family, as this is a super easy to understand website for your other users to "requ

With a whole slew of new reasons on why subscribing to streaming services WILL give you worse services than NOT subscribing to them, i think it's time to write a new up-to-date guide on how to install and configure an Arr-Stack + qBitTorrent via Docker-Compose.

0. Preamble

All these guides assume you have basic knowledge about docker & docker compose. To quickly summarize the methods here:

You either use a webui to manage your docker-compose like Dockge or you create a folder and a docker-compose.yaml for each service listed here and copy the contents of each of them into that docker-compose.yaml; IMPORTANT: You HAVE to name them docker-compose.yaml exactly like that. Do NOT name them radarr.yaml for example. After you created a docker-compose.yaml and filled it with the contents here, you simply run docker compose up -d

I specifically did NOT route all those docker-compose files through a VPN container like Gluetun. In my case i have my Mu

Is there any up-to-date method to keep the Meta Quest 3 as privacy friendly as possilbe? I know it can't be made perfect, but maybe some known working block lists etc.?

i'm thinking about getting one but their data hoarding is the reason i don't want to. Unless i can somehow make it less invasive.
