Paul FenwickHello friends, what's the self-hosted software of choice for streaming music? Is it some combination of #Jellyfin plugins/clients, or is there another darling of the #SelfHosted world of which I would be aware?
Nicolas (greenman)@pjf I am very happy with Lyrion music server (https://lyrion.org/) installed on a raspberry pi via https://www.picoreplayer.org/landingzone_option2.html #lyrionmusicserver . Use squeezelite client or browser on each device (personal computer on Linux Windows MacOS, mobile Android). Source on a USB drive plugged in my home router available for the local network.

I'm a fan of Lyrion too. One function that I didn't expect to use but has become increasingly useful is the multi-room support (syncing players together), which Navidrome doesn't have according to the "alternatives" link they provide. https://github.com/basings/selfhosted-music-overview?tab=readme-ov-file

@greenman @pjf Nice. Actually, my main use of the function is confined to the same room. I have a touchscreen "player" without any audio output sync'd to the main device in the room so that my whole family has a more accessible control interface, and no-one has to have an app installed on their phone to control it.
If anyone DOES use an app, the touchscreen defaults to the "now playing" screen, with album art etc, so it's not totally pointless.

@alyn @pjf what is your touch sceen player ? I use an old galaxy tab with a squeeze client that stayed on the living room table. https://lyrion.org/players-and-controllers/squeezelite/
