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)

VM having a EXT4 disk on a ZFS storage.
Files are (usually) FLAC
Files are ripped from CD with Exact Audio Copy (EAC)
Alternatively they are bought or 'lent' out ;)
Files are managed by Lidarr.
Jellyfin for streaming.
On mobile I use Symfonium (alternative: FinAmp or Gelli).

Basically my setup but without ZFS (kept randomly crashing entirely, probably not a great nvme) or ripped CDs, haven't had a disk drive in over a decade lol

The ZFS is in my case just TrueNAS. Can't trust myself setting that up :D

I tried to set mine up through Proxmox, after 3-10 days the whole ZFS pool would crash and I'd have to reboot the machine to get it functional again. I'm sure I either did something wrong with config or the 4 year old consumer nvme I had it set up on just couldn't handle it lol

Maybe the disk was running out of spare storage cells and ate into the actual data partition and corrupting the data table (if that's even possible)
