I have a pretty decent personal music library on my homelab server, but I am looking for a good Android app to play it. So far I’ve only tried Finamp, which connects to jellyfin. It’s fine but I really wonder if there are some other options out there. TIA
Plexamp?
Symphonium for jellyfin.beats everything
I use Symphonium with Navidrome. Works great.
Wouldnt know. Havent try that yet. So far plexamp meets my need but thanks for the heads up.
jetAudio has been doing a great job of playing all my music off my local/home SAMBA server over WiFi for a couple of years. It’s a little un-polished but I’ve never found anything else that made it as easy to connect and just play tracks, folders, albums, or playlists without too much bloat.
I’m looking for a private, personal, music steaming too…
Is jellyfin easy to set up?
If you prefer an easier solution, I recommend Navidrome
For me, Jellyfin was pretty easy to set up, but some of the software it connects with has given me trouble (Mostly the STARR stack, which locates content and organizes your library).
Right now I have Jellyfin set up as a docker container and it was very easy to setup. It works well for remote access with Tailscale.
Ah…it’s all command line…no thanks.
The installation of any media server will involve some command line/ text file setup. Once it is installed, you shouldn’t have to do much if anything by command line.
Here is a demo of what is looks like once it’s installed.
Lol it wont even show me the demo without logging in
You can just log in with the user name
demoand leave the password field emptyThe login instructions are on the login screen. Anyway, I’m not really computer savvy but I’ve been able to get it working. Let me know if you want any tips to get started. I know that self hosting can be intimidating at the beginning.
