I'm trying to add discovery of new music to my self-hosted music setup. I scrobble to ListenBrainz and each Monday it creates 2 custom playlists: "Weekly Jams" and "Weekly Exploration". I want to get these imported into Lidarr so new music is available in my library.

This seems like it would be so simple, especially since ListenBrainz has a permalink to the playlist, and an RSS link to it. When I try to use the Lists feature of Lidarr, it only offers MusicBrainz lists, which isn't the same thing.

This seems like a simple gap that has to have been filled in some way, but I keep hitting walls. I just want a batch of new songs to be added each week so I can find new music I'd like. If anyone knows of a way to do this, I'd love to hear it. Thank you!

I've heard jellyfin has a lot of security issues, which I don't know if that's accurate or not. But the BIGGEST issue is lack of a proper tvOS app. I really don't feel like using Infuse or some other app just to use my library. Year after year I hear about people switching and yet, the gap is simply still there.

    Thank you! It didn't come off as a dig at all. Trust me, I thought about it and spent about an hour on Internet Archive looking for a version that ran on its site. But nothing was there and I learned the hard way last year that Virtual Box is still in the Intel era, so it's useless for me.

    I did look into UTM as others are saying, but based on its description it may not be able to run an OS that far back. Something to look into down the line.

    Either way, again, thanks for reading my work. I really do appreciate it. There's some other old Microsoft goodies I've written in the past, like this commercial introducing Excel.

    Hi, author here 👋. Thanks for the feedback. If the Internet Archive had it on their own VM to run, I would've tried playing with it and taken some screenshots. However, I simply did not have the time to get it running locally on my machine, especially because I'm all Mac and Virtual Box doesn't run on M-series hardware.

    I agree it's a missed opportunity, but I chose to go a little bit of an easier route.

    Thanks for reading and enjoying the other 99% of the article. 😉

    The VO was supposed to be cringy and over the top. IMO for adults it's just silly and for kids it's that funny intensity. Either way, I'd bet Nintendo did that on purpose.

    As far as piracy goes, like... why? Either borrow it from a friend, your library (many rent video games), buy a used copy on discount, or just save up and buy it if you want to play it that bad.

    This game has been on my radar since its initial announcement, but I've been on the fence because I was worried it was just a Mario game without Mario.

    But after watching the direct a little bit ago, I'm convinced this game is going to be a pinch of Mario, a pinch of Zelda, and just a whole bucket of fun.

    REALLY excited to pick this up day of release.
