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)

Server: Gonic

Clients: Strawberry on linux/Windows, DSub on Android, Amperfy on iPad/macOS

~200 000, mainly flac, accessible everywhere

I'll have to try DSub(2000), looks pretty nice. I've been using Ultrasonic. I do like that Ultrasonic allows you to browse cached files as if they were their own server, which DSub doesn't seem to do.

DSub does

~~Only DSub or DSub 2000 as well? The former doesn't look like it's been updated in 3 years+~~

Nevermind, I found it. You have to hit "go offline".

I use DSub, the original. (I didn't even know DSub 2000 was a thing, I use F-Droid)

Subsonic doesn't change, it doesn't need updates

[–] wildbus8979@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 hours ago

DSub2000 is on Fdroid as well. Subsonic doesn't change, but android does. DSub isn't built for recent Android's and as such FDroid won't automatically update it. And some stuff might get increasingly wonky/broken due to API and SDK changes.

Gonic

Wow, I thought I had a large music collection. I mean, I can put the whole 80k on random and it will be months before I hear a repeat. 200k you'd hear a song and then maybe on your 80th birthday hear it repeat. LOL The larger majority of my songs are from Indie groups I used to promo.

I checked out Gonic.

Strawberry doesn't have android release, does it?

[–] HiTekRedNek@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Wait. There's a strawberry for Android? I use it on my PC....

[–] SidewaysHighways@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

gonic looks cool! i am investigating more!
