SidewaysHighways

I've used it off and on over the years, getting distracted by fancy new platforms momentarily (sonos, bluesound, etc) and other implementations of the subsonic API, (madsonic, funkwhale, gonic etc.) and tried to let home assistant/music assistant handle it all (not quite ready yet, great for Audio Books/Podcasts, announcements) But for my current setup, i came back to navidrome and it is almost flawless with the stuff i have to play with.

There's someone working on getting the Tempo app back up to par, navidrome + mopidy/subidy is EXCELLENT, and with the MPD extension on Mopidy, Home Assistant can trigger freshly formed playlists, even the Smart Playlists!

I have an old proprietary music player that i flashed debian on, (Autonomic MMS 2a headless) feeding multi channel amp setups ( semi broken/hand-me-down stuff from being in an adjacent industry)

It'd be cool to edit tags on the Web UI, and the same old complaint about not being able to see directories (i did appreciate gonic for that) But my little twenty thousand track library is handled well by Navidrome, and the smart playlists (through feishin so far) are fantastic and already breathing new life into my collection.

I keep perusing the Navidrome and Mopidy docs and that is where i learned that Navidrome links to lemmy for a community, so i figured id come say hey and hardly use any punctuation!

Rock On!

do i hate to say it? kinda. but also, everything they've been doing lately (15 years?) sucks.

3a was okay but suddenly bricked itself one day.. that was years ago. mine and my spouses, not too far apart from each other.

7a battery is meh.

7a gets too hot for video calls over 10 minutes?

GrapheneOS make it better, for sure! and was really easy to install. i can't wait to see the phone they help design.

but the couple of them I've had.. not impressed.

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)

makes me sad that the laptop can't hook up to its monitor buddies right now.

Saw that tab pop up sometime after the latest update. Loaded my shares to it and fired it up and its pretty sweet!

Was I mistaken in thinking that Music Assistant had the functionality of playing directly to the browser/app viewing the interface?

Nothing crazy, but it would be cool to be able to build automations in home Assistant off of my Microsoft teams status. (Pause music and whatever I'm casting to Kodi if I get a call, etc)

Maybe even browsing Lemmy? Maybe not though lol

If there's no good options, no worries, I certainly have no problem keeping it in a work sandbox (connected to the same guest network I keep the work computer on and stuff like that)

But I just wanted to see if there's any more value I could squeeze out of it

Thanks in advance!

EDIT I wouldn't be casting shit FROM the iPad or anything, just to be clear

I had changed the SSH password on something so I had to dig through my known hosts file, and saw the word FUCK spelled out in there in all caps. I chuckled but am sure there's an explanation

I think I may roll with this headcanon from now on

But I want it so badly! All i need to figure out is:

reverse proxys (I stumbled through getting one caddy instance setup so far but gosh I struggle with that also, nginx proxy manager seems like my next step)

a rock solid backup/restore setup (but first I need to figure out where the vaultwarden alpine files live, then be able to get those off of the proxmox vm)

this is more of a vent, than a request for someone to spell it all out for me. But I wouldn't be upset if anyone had the time to point me in the right direction for me.

Would it just be easier to run a keypass XC and syncthing setup?

Mine was working fine until I pulled the trigger on that update and rebooted. No bueno since then.
