[Xitter] just announced a smart TV app for streaming video. Or, more accurately, that it claims it’s building one, with absolutely no launch date mentioned. The appropriately-named [Xitter] TV wants to be “your go-to companion for a high-quality, immersive entertainment experience on a larger screen.”

Great… Now we’ll need to make another client team in Jellyfin 😆

Or leave that one out. I don’t think there’s much value in adding right-wing video podcasts, racists, and Russian propaganda to Jellyfin.

“Xitter”?

Reads like “chitter”, sounds creepy enough.

How is the X in xitter pronounced? Is it “sh” like in Xi? This seems to fit this time line, but it would be nice to have confirmation.

Yes Sh sound is absolutely what is generally meant. Making it shitter.

That’s how I use it. And it works.

Justin on MBMBAM recently talked about a “Xeet” instead of a tweet, pronounced “Zeet” and I thought that was also hilarious.

English is a descriptive language instead of prescriptive, so make it happen!

In my head, it’s more like Zitter

Yeah that probably works about as well as unsubscribing from cat facts.
