And we managed to keep data offline without needing a massive app download. It also works well if you only have an intermittent network connection because the definitions are stored offline, locally on the device. You can see your word history and revisit definitions, or make your own list of favourite words to help build up your vocabulary. The speech function helps provide the correct pronunciation.
Definitions include synonyms and antonyms which allows the dictionary to also serve as a thesaurus. Wildcard characters can be used to help with word games like crosswords and scrabble where only some of the letters are known, or you have to find an anagram, or with spelling. Then you can follow the links in the definition page to get more word definitions. As you type, Dictionary homes in on the word you are looking for. The home page contains a randomly selected word cloud which will pique your curiosity and help you improve your vocabulary, while the search box allows you to find specific words easily. The dictionary definitions are stored locally, and because it's ad-free there's no need for a network connection. Dictionary is ideal for both native English speakers and English learners or people studying the English language. We'll have the advantages of using the client machine's media player with the advantages of Jellyfin's user experience and episode tracking.īut that's just me! I'm sure they are making Jellyfin Desktop with many other use cases in mind.Dictionary is a free offline English dictionary containing over 200,000 words and definitions and no ads.
When there is an actual Jellyfin Desktop app, none of these things will be an issue for my roommate or me.
(Before you say it, remember that direct play configuration still means playing in the browser, which means dealing with the browser's issues.) It also means we have to manually tell Jellyfin when we've watched something. The videos always play very quickly and beautifully, but it's cumbersome to connect and navigate to the folders. Opening the files in the browser is convenient when it works, but when Jellyfin provides a less than stellar experience (sometimes because of Vivaldi, sometimes because of Synology) we have to open the network folder and use the client machine's media player. But even if I did, it's still clear that many users will struggle and fail with this. Perhaps if I kept going, I'd eventually get it working. But after a month of agonizing efforts to get clear instructions from people who ultimately just kept sending me in circles, I ultimately gave up. It's theoretically capable of hardware transcoding, but because Jellyfin doesn't have any builds specifically for Synology devices and consequently must be run as a Docker image… Well, like I said, it's theoretically possible. I use a Synology DS218+ as my Jellyfin server, which makes accessing media convenient for my roommate and I, but introduces its own issues. This is doubly frustrating because it's the kind of issue that gets repeatedly pushed to the bottom of to-do lists since it's not as urgent as anything that completely stops working. My preferred browser is Vivaldi, and it doesn't always play audio correctly for reasons that I'm currently in the middle of figuring out.Įven when using a different browser, it takes a minute to load the subtitles for a video.
