As a follow-up, it appears that once jellyfin had time to complete all its processing of the media I configured, Firefox was able to shuffle a playlist of ~20,000 tracks -- after an hour or so.
The Roku jellyfin client (not the server, it seems pretty stable) reliably crashes after ten minutes or so of attempting to load the same playlist.
Interestingly, jellyfin on Android appears to have the same behavior as the Firefox/web interface, although I didn't wait an hour to see if that was the case.
That said, Finamp[0] (also available on FDroid, FTW!) on Android loads up the playlist just fine and starts playing almost immediately. Which makes me wish Android was my use case. :(
All in all, it was rather disappointing. That said, I still do appreciate your suggestion.
>Finamp is a great app, it's well developed and works far better than the official Jellyfin app/site imo.
I agree! It worked so nicely that I'm going to expose jellyfin to the internet so I can access my full music collection via my phone (currently I have about 1/3 of it -- which was all that I could comfortably fit on my phone's storage).
Thanks again for the suggestions -- it opened up (with jellyfin/finamp) a new use case for me!
