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)

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'll second navidrome.

I've also added bonob to expose it to some sonos hardware I got for free. I've found it's the easiest way to get custom music and streaming radio into sonos. Music Assistant buffers for some reason.

I'm having the same issues with exposing it. I have mine behind Caddy+caddy-security and it works well through the browser, but I haven't found a native app that can handle that method. I think I'll add it to tailscale eventually to work around that.

[–] bitwolf@sh.itjust.works 2 points 22 hours ago

What I am hoping is that I can generate an access key auth in Authelia. Synfonium supports accessKey as an alternative to basic auth for subsonic.

Maybe you could try that with caddy-security?

Synfonium is closed source, but you can use the free trial to test, and buy it outside of Google Play (which is the only reason I haven't dropped it earlier on my quest to de-Google)
