After some more checking around, I think I was wrong with the way I was intending to use Jellyfin, or at least hoping to. It seems that when people are using Jellyfin on Kodi, its to integrate media from a Jellyfin host to their Kodi device. I guess I was thinking it worked the other way around, like Jellyfin would use the media I have from Kodi on my pi to stream to other devices. It looks like if I really wanted to stream to an outside device, I'd just be setting up another device to be a media server, I guess its solved. Thanks for reading!

Hi All, just a little backround on my setup and what I'm trying to do. For my TV, I have a raspberry pi 3b+, it has LibreElec installed on it, with my own media. I've been ripping my own dvds and blu rays for quite some time, so have a bit of a collection. I used to use just a simple file browser to navigate, but about 6 months ago I looked into Kodi/LibreElec because I thought it'd be nice to have all the extra info/pictures and interface that come along with the media scraper, so I saw how to rename my movies and shows (Bulk Rename Utility was so helpful), and its looking pretty sweet. In general, I dont like streaming, I think it stems from having very poor internet in the past, so I just have gotten very used to playing the video file directly from the pi. Since I started using Kodi, I got the android app, Kore, where you can use as a remote, but also stream from the pi while on wifi. So thats actually pretty cool, sometimes I just might watch a show or something on my phone since its a little more convenient, but that did sort of get me thinking more about streaming a show in other places, not on my home network. After a bit of searching around, I feel like Jellyfin would be helpful, but wasnt totally sure how it works as a kodi addon. Would it just use the media already present in Kodi? Say while I'm out and about, and have some time to kill and wanted to watch a show on my phone, would Jellyfin need to be already running on the pi to stream to me? Or is it like always sort of running in the background? I saw that there are two Jellyfin that you can install, one is Jellyfin for Kodi, and the other is Jellycon. https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/clients/kodi/ I'm sorry if its a dumb question, but which of these would be the right one to install for me? Is Jellyfin what I'm looking for? Or would Kodi have the functionality to stream outside of your home network already? And of course in just finishing this post, I realize that there is a Jellyfin forum. Sorry if this is the wrong place for this! But thanks you for any help!

Hello, just a small update for any who might be interested. Basically my Acrobat and Elements installation don't recognize their serials anymore, and are just set on trials periods. I tried installing Acrobat on my wifes laptop, hoping it was just isolated to my pc, but it was the same issue. I did turn my laptop on today (3 days later), and both programs are also on a trial period, though the 30 days started today, and isnt in sync with my desktop. After alot of googling, I did see someone else who commented that installing a newer trial version of Elements bricked their older version. Anywho, I'm done with adobe, I wanted to crack the programs, but I shouldn't have to do that for something I purchased. I got GIMP for some photo editing, and PDF XChange for an pdf editor. PDF XChange is actually great, though the differences between versions offered took some time to see clearly. I got PDF XChange Editor Plus, one time payment of $72. You can install on two devices, and can remotely de-register if needed. Anyways, just wanted to update, I'm still a bit annoyed, but I suppose having a considerably more up to date pdf editor is a plus.

Another little update, I just opened my Photoshop Elements 6, which I purchased back in 2007 and installed on every pc, is asking for the serial. I enter it and it says it cant reach servers. I understand that the authentication servers are down, but I've never had an issue with PE 6. I know its old, but it works. I cant help but think its all related somehow.

We'll it looks like I'm back on the prowl for a one time purchase pdf editor. I just cant do anymore subscriptions. I know it sounds crazy, but I've actually considered doing the $400 one time purchase for the current Adobe Acrobat DC, but even then, I really dont trust that Adobe wont screw me over in the future.

Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised about this. I'm just super annoyed that this happened after spending so long looking for a one time purchase of a pdf editor, I thought I had the solution.

Hello All, I just wanted to ask about an issue I just starting having with Acrobat X Pro. Like the title says, I purchased it on ebay a little over 2 years ago, it wasnt a physical product, but just a download for Acrobat and I think the serial was sent in an email. It's been working fine, I use it quite regularly, but today I got a window that says my serial is invalid. Would anyone have insight into the possibilities as to why this would be? Could the same seller have been selling the same serial to multiple users, or anything like that? Any probable solutions?

I didn't consider the MX anywhere 3s because of the price, but I started looking more. I found an mx anywhere 2s on eBay within my range, I think that's going to fit the need just fine, thanks!

Hello all, like the topic says, I'm just looking for a mouse to keep in a bag for light use. Ideally I'd like to stay in the $30-40 range usd. In general, I guess logitech is my go to. I had a Ms master 3 that became my wife's, and I currently have an mx master 3s on my desktop. I'd like to avoid constantly taking one of these with me when I need to go mobile with my laptop. I'm looking for something that I can just recharge, I don't like to fiddle with batteries. I did eye the Logitech m650l, it seemed to tick the boxes, and I like that it has a silent click. But in reviews I did see that it needs two AA batteries, though they seem to have a considerable life in the mouse. I found the mouse by filtering on Amazon by mice that are rechargeable, but that one really isn't. I just wanted to see if there were any recommendations on a wireless rechargeable mouse in my budget, hopefully avoiding those random 'brand' names that have become so common on Amazon. Thanks all!

Thank you for your comments! I had a feeling that was the case. I did some searching around and found situations where people just weren't able to use the program anymore after losing access to machines it was registered on. There was also mentions of Adobe giving like a 1 time courtesy reset to registrations in some cases. I think I'm probably just going to stick with what I have. Just curious, since your running Elements 7 now, did you actually lose access to your copy of 14?

Hello All, like the title says I have Photoshop Elements 6 and wanted to upgrade. I know this is a dinosaur of a product, so please be nice. This is just for some hobby stuff, nothing I do for work. I got Elements back in 2006 just to fill the need at the time, and never saw the need to buy again. I was recently looking at the latest version of Elements and thought that it finally may be time for an upgrade. As far as I understand, Elements really is the only subscription free product from Adobe. I just had some questions about the Adobe purchases though. It does say that you can install in 2 computers, and it looks like its linked to your Adobe ID. What happens if one PC fails and you cant deregister? Is there any sort of fail safe to put the product on PCs after? Any sort of remote de-registeration? My other question was about internet connection. It should be a problem, but generally I dislike programs that are dependent on an internet connection. I’d be able to use it offline right? Maybe just lack in the AI features or whatnot? Is there a time frame that I would need to go back online to make sure I can keep using the product? Sorry if these are dumb questions, but a few years ago I got burnt out on Adobe. I needed a copy of Acrobat, but realized that your options are a subscription, or you can buy a copy, but for $400. After looking at various options, I just went on ebay and got a copy of 2010’s Acrobat X Pro, best purchase ever. It does what I need it to, can install wherever I want, not connected online, wish I did it sooner. Sometimes I wish I had newer features, but I don't think I’m going to be getting a newer version of Acrobat anytime soon. Thats a little backround about what makes me slightly hesitant about purchasing a current Adobe product, and any insight is appreciated, thank you!

Thank you very much, this was helpful!

Hello All, My wife uses her laptop for just some basic office stuff, but tonight she showed me that shes getting a notification from firefox, that says virus detected, and it says its via souropsa.xyz. I really havent had much issue with viruses, windows defender didnt detect anything, and a full scan on Avira didnt yield anything either. The notifications only come up when you open Mozilla, should I uninstall the browser? Just trying to troubleshoot this, any help is appreciated. Thank you!

Thats good to know. As much as I'd love to upgrade the battery, it seems like theres some conflicting opinions about if it will work or not.

Just a little update, I did get the Anker 737, which seems to be a beast, and just to try, I got the cable I linked to above, but it didnt work. I'm not too shocked, but obviously I was hoping for a better outcome. I suppose when it becomes a real issue I'll explore the idea again, I was just trying to think ahead.
