Comment on New Jellyfin Server/Web release: 10.10.7

  Certainly!

  Jellyfin I use for video content. I find its music functions lackluster.

  Navidrome I use (and my family uses) for personal listening.

  Music around the house, like on one or more of my casting capable speakers / tvs I use Music Assistant. Also let’s me do automations easily, and doesn’t tie up an android phones media’s output. Struggled with earbuds while casting taking over audio for too long before deploying Music Assistant!

    If you’re looking for more tinkering on the music around the house front, Lyrion music server + squeezelite players can be a very fun endeavor. I think it gets a little sketchy if you’re favoring automation and casting, but as a network of players that will utilize a wide swath of hardware, it shines. I had a bunch of pi4s laying around and eventually repurposed them all into a multiroom audio gang.

      Yeah Music Assistant uses Snapcast, which has been fun. I did try squeeze, but haven’t had a reason to switch so far

    Thanks! I thought most people don’t use navidrome if they have multiple users because they can’t create user-specific playlists. Is this not the case? What music features do you find limiting on Jellyfin? Also, how did you get your family to switch off music streaming for your navidrome server?

      The streaming was easy, just declared I wasn’t paying for it anymore lol. We still have a crappy version of Spotify for free because of another service (ISP or phone plan something like that), but it’s purely used as a backup.

      Jellyfin’s interface is a bit clunky as a music client in my experience. FinAmp looks cool but it’s still early on.

      Navidrome does smart playlist, crossfading, gapless, flac streaming, and flac to opus transcoding. Those are sorta my core requirements, and Navidrome + the clients we use handles them all with aplomb.

      As for the user playlist thing… I haven’t seen anything like that but maybe I’m misunderstanding.
