finamp

I understand use cases for Jellyfin and selfhost it myself for music (in combination with incredible Finamp[1]), but for movies/shows plain MiniDLNA[2] works like a charm and is accessible from any device. [1]: https://github.com/finamp-app/finamp [2]: https://minidlna.com/

That 1.0.0, and 1.0.1 is in Beta. Is that ready to be moved into stable? Or am I looking at the wrong project? https://github.com/finamp-app/finamp/releases#release-1.0.1-...

I just started using Finamp for Android https://github.com/jmshrv/finamp I recommend the beta edition as the UI is quite evolved from the previous version.

Jellyfin + https://github.com/jeffvli/feishin on desktop and https://github.com/jmshrv/finamp on mobile also https://audacious-media-player.org/ on desktop to drop files in directly

As a follow-up, it appears that once jellyfin had time to complete all its processing of the media I configured, Firefox was able to shuffle a playlist of ~20,000 tracks -- after an hour or so. The Roku jellyfin client (not the server, it seems pretty stable) reliably crashes after ten minutes or so of attempting to load the same playlist. Interestingly, jellyfin on Android appears to have the same behavior as the Firefox/web interface, although I didn't wait an hour to see if that was the case. That said, Finamp[0] (also available on FDroid, FTW!) on Android loads up the playlist just fine and starts playing almost immediately. Which makes me wish Android was my use case. :( All in all, it was rather disappointing. That said, I still do appreciate your suggestion. [0] https://github.com/jmshrv/finamp

Just so you know, there are (open source!) third-party clients available that solve these issues. Particularly with respect to the music player, there's Fintunes[1], Finamp[2] and AmpFin[3] for instance. Source: am Fintunes dev.

Jellyfin has its own apps plus a few other community-built ones like finamp[1] and findroid[2] which I personally use a lot. I would argue that setting up nginx or other reverse proxy servers is outside the scope of Jellyfin. That is an infrastructure concern that is usually going to be very unique to your setup. I, for example, use Traefik as my reverse proxy which requires a different set of configurations to get it working with Jellyfin. I don't expect the Jellyfin team to provide a guide for every reverse proxy. It would be nice, but I can see how this is out of their scope.

I have Jellyfin setup alongside Plex, and the one thing that's keeping me from moving fully off Plex is Plexamp [1]. It works flawlessly on my phone/laptops, includes a ton of features and is a pleasure to use - especially compared to Spotify or Apple Music. I am aware of FinAmp [2] and music players for Jellyfin, but they aren't comparable to PlexAmp yet. 1. https://www.plex.tv/plexamp/ 2. https://github.com/jmshrv/finamp

There's a middle ground, too -- you can host music streaming for your own library through [Jellyfin](https://jellyfin.org/) (or Plex, or a few other alternatives) for the backend and something like [FinAmp](https://github.com/UnicornsOnLSD/finamp) on the frontend. Easy to curate your own library, and you can avoid the "sync problem" when you download a new album. There are some bugs to iron out in the setup, but my raspberry pi home server has been running this great for 5 months now, and offline media served me very well through a cross-country move. It's a great opportunity to take back some agency from Spotify, start contributing to artists on bandcamp or similar, and cut another annoying monthly subscription from your life. When someone hands me their phone to play music on Spotify at this point, I find the front page absolutely overw

I have jellyfin[0] installed on my home server, then use finamp[1] on my iphone to listen on the go via streaming and usually download just the playlists to the device, which eventually get rotated. [0] - https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin [1] - https://github.com/UnicornsOnLSD/finamp

I set up a Mac mini as my HTPC about a year ago, and settled on Jellyfin to manage my media. Overall it's been great, and I'm really happy that Jellyfin exists. I use Kodi for the TV interface, with the Jellyfin for Kodi add-on to link the two [1]. I looked into Plex, but was turned off by how commercial it was and how hard they tried to push their paid services. The big advantage to Jellyfin is that I can start watching a show on my TV, and pick up exactly where I left off on any of my devices (I use the Jellyfin iPhone and iPad apps, as well as the web interface). I can also access my music library through Jellyfin, and at the recommendation of a comment on this post I just downloaded finamp, which seems like a great music player [2]. The initial setup took a bit of work, and there are definitely some quirks, but all-in-all it's worked

I use Finamp with Jellyfin for audio https://github.com/UnicornsOnLSD/finamp

I recently switched from Plex to Jellyfin due to the former's requirement that users must buy a PlexPass to download media you've shared with them. Relying on streaming for movie nights was a nightmare. A community developer also recently launched their Plexamp-inspired iOS/Android music player on the stores. https://github.com/UnicornsOnLSD/finamp
