Howdy. Just chiming in as a happy Jellyfin user. I’m running multiple instances since my music library was significantly affecting my primary video instance, to the point of not letting Android TV clients load the home page properly.
I’ve since split out the music and am a happy camper. I briefly tried out Navidrome for music but wasn’t happy without the ability to edit metadata from the UI (even if the Jellyfin metadata editing doesn’t affect ID3 tags anyway). It may not be be FOSS, but Symfoniun is a fantastic Android music app that supports Jellyfin and DLNA casting.
I am on Finamp (iOS) and while it’s a great client, listening to Audiobooks is not ideal. Scrubbing is coarse, no skips, and I often have to restart from the beginning.
My audiobooks suck, too, though. 6 hours long with no chapters.
If you’re running a home server and selfhosting Jellyfin, you’d be better served to run Audiobookshelf for audiobooks.
Talk about tool for the job! Audiobookshelf is great, thanks for the recommendation.
How did you do this? By adding a second IP to your server or by changing the port number of the other instance?
Yeah, different port* (8097) for the second instance.
