Selfhosting DJ sets? (Soundcloud-style)

Submitted ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩ by ⁨Prunebutt@slrpnk.net⁩ to ⁨selfhosted@lemmy.world⁩

Hi!

I have a subsonic instance running but I rarely listen to Albums. Stuff I really like are DJ performances like by the channel The Moment.

So I thought: why not download and self-host them before Google makes Youtube sign-in only, (like Elon and Facebook did).

That stuff is probably quite hard to organize. But the type of music simply breaks the common services, like Jellyfin, or Subsonic.

I know of funkwhale. But I’d like to keep the contents private. I just wanna listen to music at work (so being open to the web is a plus). I thought funkwhale is a bit too… “social” for me. I’m a (re)uploader, not creator.

You got any ideas? Maybe a youtube-cloner with audio-only support? (I know how to download videos already)

mstream maybe? I use it from my job, and it is hosted from my house

  Don’t know that one. Seems like a good lead. Thanks for showing me the way in the rabbit hole. ;)

Do you need a web player? I’ve got several years of a radio show on my web server and wrote a script that created an RSS feed for them. This way I can open that in any podcast player (even web based ones) to listen to it.

  I think I prefer the convenience and (hopefully) security from a dedicated streaming service.

    Doesn’t get any more secure than a battle-tested web server hosting simple MP3 files and a text file.
    
    Convenience might be a thing, though. I’m in the Apple ecosystem so their Podcasts app shows that feed on all devices and tracks listening progress, etc.
    
    If I didn’t have that, I’m still a lifetime customer with PocketCasts and PocketCasts Web. So, that’s that. But if you don’t have anything similar in place, a self-hosted streaming server might be the best way to go, yes.

DO NOT use funkwhale unless you want a headache.

Jellyfin should be fine. Why do you say it breaks it?

  Jellyfin catalogues songs on albums by artists. DJ sets are a different category of music track.

    The DJ is the artist. Each set is an album with one track. What’s broken about that?

You could just use a local NFO for artist/album with jellyfin, thats what I do for everything from stuff friends have made to home movies and fanedits.

i found emby to be the easiest and most functional solution over stuff like media assistant or jellyfin. there is a free docker container you can run using minimal space and just add any smb share in the webinterface. just have a shared folder of the downloaded dj sets. e.g. i have most/many solid steel radio shows in a folder and it did not cause any problems. opening stuff to the net and making it not publicly accessible can be easily done with cloudflared.

mstream just uses folders, so you can organise however you want.

Apps for Android and iOS, webui for everything else. Does basic (single setting for whole server) transcoding if you wish (I don’t for mp3/m4a/ogg sets, I have them on a second server instance, mstream is very light)
