@decryption Should be fine, though if you're using it with Apple I don't think the apple app supports Music (at least the one on the Apple TV doesn't)

@decryption did it months ago. I use the infuse client.

@decryption if you aren't happy with jellyfin's music functionality for whatever reason I suggest checking out Navidrome, I've used it with my library for years with great success.

@theraspb @decryption Yeah, second this. Neither Jellyfin nor Plex really treat music as a first class item. Navidrome blows both out of the water for me.

@endareth @theraspb hmmm, if there's a good Android Automotive app for the car, I'll check it out

@decryption @theraspb https://symfonium.app/ is supposed to support it, but I’ve not used it myself.

@endareth @theraspb android automotive is different to android auto - there’s no Navidrome apps that support it

@decryption @theraspb Ah yes, as usual one of the hard computing problems surfaces once more: naming things…

@endareth @theraspb it confuses so many people :(

@decryption I scrolled back on your timeline but didn’t see any recent discussion around Plex vs Jellyfin - any particular reason you swapped? I’m feeling like Plex is on the edge of enshittification so weighing up my options (I have a Plex lifetime pass so monthly $ isn’t an issue)

@Cacotopos @decryption That post reminded me to do some comparison too. I’ve got Plex Lifetime as well. I can run both on my trusty 2012 Mac mini server pointing to the same libraries.

@Cacotopos plex being on the edge of enshittification is why
Show threadTom DullemondDec 28
@decryption yip yip I hear you
Show threaddecryptionDec 28
@Cacotopos I'm a really basic user of Plex (no remote stuff except audio, don't share my library) so it's really overkill imho - but I'll see how Jellyfin goes and see if it shits me, so far so good though
Show threadTom DullemondDec 28
@decryption a colleague recommended JellyFin but I’m like you, don’t use sharing. I have PlexAmp for my Plex library music, Prologue for Plex library audiobooks, but both of those are ‘offline d/l’ not ‘online remote stream’

@decryption Well done. I find Jellyfin's music smarts a bit "not smart" (but that might be the vitrified older version I have running in a container). The video side of it's great, but the LG TV client app has been crashing a bit of late.
