Fantastsic post!
FWIW I suspect Jellyfin is the better choice for libraries with both music and movies. That said, we live in a world where multiple FOSS options exist to serve these roles. That should be appreciated and noticed by waaaay more people.
all the jellyfin music clients have weird glitches with band names and metadata. this has been with almost every (android) jellyfin client on 3 different Jellyfin servers over the years
i was almost completely sold on Jellyfin being my music server but it wasn't quite ready for me, or possibly there is something about my library it doesn't like.
What?
Just have your files properly tagged by picard/lidarr.
Improper tags = Weird behaviour you caused.
Using Finamp and Symfonium on my phone.
thanks, I've been diligently tagging for a couple weeks now! working splendidly in feishin/tempo fork!
I've never had an issue, hm.
That's interesting to hear, finamp has been great for me for at least a year and a half. What kind of issues do you see if you don't mind me asking
not OP, mine was miserable at detecting the song until i fixed my mp3's internal tags.
It still crashes on some random songs on my kids playlist have never found out which one does it, it just stops playing randomly. I ended up ditching it for symphonium which isn't free or open, but OMG. If found all my sonos, and my pixel tab and just streams, even plex has issues on my complicated network, they download your whole library list and handle searches and playlists locally instead of trying to get jellyfin to search/random which it's not good at without plugins.
Is that the beta app or the actual release (unless they finally made it out of beta)? Just asking because there is a massive gap now between their last official release and the full app rewrite which was or is in beta for very long time already. New user may not want to go for the beta version, even though here it makes sense.
no sweat!
most of the library looks like this on anything that isn't the native Jellyfin app on android.
I've struggled with it a few times before giving up.
still keep that jellyfin server running these days, on the same vm/container and library just in case.
Works fine (Finamp)
i‘ve first used jellyfin for movies and series for a while and then decided i also wanted to add music streaming to my nas, so i put it into jellyfin. there were a couple of things that bugged me though, and so i also installed navidrome. jellyfin and navidrome have access to the same directory with all the music i own, and i have both finamp as well as amperfy on my iphone, and i really quite prefer navidrome with amperfy. so i would say that if you already got jellyfin for movies/ series and you don’t need a lot for a music streaming platform, it’s perfectly fine. however, if you need some more music streaming specific stuff, like a nice workflow for creating playlists, you may prefer to add navidrome.
Jellyfin sucks for music. I tried it several times, hoping it got better, but unfortunately it's not the case. For the moment I'm still using Navidrome (which I used for the last 3-4 years without problems).
To each their own I guess (which is the point after all :) ). I've never had an issue with Jellyfin for music in the few years I've used it. All setups are different though.
