Thanks! I thought most people don’t use navidrome if they have multiple users because they can’t create user-specific playlists. Is this not the case? What music features do you find limiting on Jellyfin? Also, how did you get your family to switch off music streaming for your navidrome server?
Could you please explain your use case for Music Assistant if you already have Jellyfin/Plex and Navidrome?
Thank you for the clarification!
This is because lemmy.world defederated, right? So at this point would we recommend people to make a different account on an alternative server? Not a problem for those that have just joined, just delete and make a new account. But have there been any recent developments on migration tools for moving accounts to a new server while preserving account data?
It’s closed source, but Symfonium has had smart playlists for a while, if it’s a feature you’re willing to switch for. It’s great to see this feature in the Jellyfin server, and hopefully all the apps can implement it in due time.
For those on Jellyfin, there’s a plugin that can pull lyrics from lrclib. Not sure how it exactly compares to this, but it works for me.
Thank you for the compilation, I’ll take a look at these.
My group is on Teamspeak. They are supposedly adding it this year, but it’s been radio silence for months.
You’re right, thanks.
Good perspective, thanks.
That’s fair. I’m making the comparison to other hobbies. If someone is not interested in roller skating, but decides to try it out because one of their friends really likes it and invites them, they may find they enjoy it… or not, which in that case they won’t go again, which is fine. Alternatively, they find a new hobby they enjoy, and selfhosting could give skills that turn into a potential career, but that’s if they really enjoy it. I don’t think it’s uncommon for friend groups to have outsiders (me) and “force” them into trying new things, but maybe my comparison doesn’t hold up here as this is a bit less about socializing.
I know there are different use cases for each, but generally do people prefer self hosted nextcloud, proton docs, or libre office?
No, development is still stalled. You need to pay if you want the really high bit rate flac downloads. I pay and can use Deezer as a backup to Jellyfin in the event there’s a song I don’t have and I’m driving. I was looking at music fab, but it’s expensive, the Spotify downloader has worse quality, and doesn’t grab the cover art, which is probably a deal breaker for me.
I use the former. How does it compare to the other two?
Are they on Deezer? If so, look into deemix-gui.
Haven’t tested it, but I’m hoping Kodi works well. I’m waiting on my Vero V to arrive, which comes with OSMC (FOSS linux distro made to run Kodi).
I’m not too familiar with roon. As for proper metadata, I’ve not had any problems with MusicBrainz’s metadata grabber. It’s a built-in plugin that comes with Jellyfin. Deemix uses your deezer account, which I believe requires the paid version if you want lossless flac files, and I have it configured to place the files in my Media share, which Jellyfin reads from. Symfonium is the android client I use that works with selfhosted media servers.
Deezer (paid for flac - lossless files) + Deemix-gui + Jellyfin + Symfonium works quite well. Though you need to have a media server, so not exactly a drop-in replacement.
I have no issues with Jellyfin + Symfonium, but I also cache my songs offline. I almost never play a track that hasn’t been downloaded.
+1 for Enderal
