    Love my Jellyfin server, but I have 2 gripes over just using VLC.

    • Can’t use the scroll wheel for volume. It’s a pain aiming for the volume from across the room on the couch.

    • JF won’t boost volume past 100% like VLC.

    Know of any fixes?

      Are you playing directly on your server?

      For the first one at least you could solve it by running JF with a Chromecast or similar device.
      Feels cleaner than a wireless mouse in the living room too, IMO

      apparently this is supposed to be coming in the 9.0 feature release. So soon™ I’d have to look to be sure, but apparently it’s coming.

      Volume is weird, i feel like i’d almost like either a “volume target” option, to match volume levels between content, or some sort of fixed audio boost level. Idk.

        Adding replaygain tags to your content could help here, but it’s a manual process, particularly since it’s not normally included in released videos. And I’m not sure if jellyfin supports replaygain tags from video (presumably it does for audio only files).

        mpv definitely does support it at least, with “–replaygain=track”.

        Of course, none of this helps with OPs situation, because enabling replaygain will actually lower the volume on most files, so it can account for high dynamic range content.

          yeah considering i have literal terabytes of youtube content on my jellyfin, i think i’ll probably abstain, unless i do some really dirty automation on it, in which case i might not, because that would be funny.
