right now I'm trying a dedicated Jellyfin instance for audio only (bought the lifetime emby subscription before i learned about jellyfin, so video is elsewhere) but having trouble finding a good client that could run on the guts of an old autonomic MMS2A. That device has an analog and digital output, which with the normal OS treated as two separate sources. is that something anyone else has tinkered with? the original plan was to just run a kodi instance with the jellyfin addon, but im not sure if this has the horsepower to run kodi, and certainly not two at once! (4gb of ram max for this beast.

i need it to be remotely controllable, it'd be cool to have easy playlist management/backup that other devices could see, and potentially an android client if possible?

I've dabbled with the "____sonic" ecosystem back before i was really good at linux, and struggled a bunch, before giving up without anything real to show for it.

just curious if anyone else has been down this road successfully!

thanks for this community, my scrolling stops INSTANTLY when i see a post from here.

(oh my music server is a truenas SMB share, hosted in a proxmox vm! not opposed to putting a big SSD in this device if local music would make things easier)

emby and shares. emby unlike jellyfish can mount remote smb shares right in the webinterface. proxmox/lxc and jellyfin is a pain in the ass you do not want.

Plex + Synfonium

Also

Navidrome + Synfonium / Tempo

I'm trying out different things in prep to switch to navidrome. I'm impressed how lightweight it is and it hasnt required much work to fix up the library tags as most were already minimally tagged.

One I figure out a secure way to expose it behind auth I'll be able to switch over.

Its been a heck of a time trying to get forwardAuth working with Zitadel so I'm trying out Authelia

I use Funkwhale, which I have liked, but my use case is just streaming music through my laptop and listening with headphones. I don't think there is a client available that will run on your Autonomic streamer.

Funkwhale does have a subsonic API, so you could use a subsonic client, but you mentioned that didn't quite work before. (Is that what you mean by __sonic? I haven't actually heard that term.)

Funkwhale is nice, but I think for most people it doesn't (yet) offer any useful features beyond what Navidrome has, and probably even lacks a few things that Navidrome has. Funkwhale's main appeal is that you can follow someone's music library via the fediverse, although there hasn't really been a lot of use for that so far. Version 2 is coming soon, though, and adds a whole bunch of new fediverse features.

Gathered all music/Audiobook Files on my Synology NAS, organized in folders. Beside, there is still a Lyrion Music Server (LMS) running on the NAS in a docker. Put the Squeezer Play Client on every possible device (Windows, Linux PC, Android, Tigerbox, Pi zeros) and streaming works well for me at Home.

Access either via Web or App on Android/iOS. I have enabled navigating in LMS via folders because ID3 Tags are poorly maintained in my files. :/

I share a Spotify family plan with friends, but I use Zotify to make backups, which I then host in Jellyfin.

I've just put it on an SMB share and use symfonium

[–] SidewaysHighways@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

people speak highly of this one. I'll have to do a little research
