how are my fellow peeps hosting your music collection these days?
-
I've just put it on an SMB share and use symfonium
people speak highly of this one. I'll have to do a little research
-
My favorite use case for MASS is my desktop PC, in our bedroom, has a decent 5.1 sound system, and is running squeezelite.
I have an alarm automation that starts playing from the random 500 playlist.
When my phone connects to my car's Bluetooth, it transfers the queue to my phone, which is running snapcast on a VPN.
When my phone disconnects from my Bluetooth, and I am at home, it transfers any queue from my phone back to my desktop.
If I'm not at home it just stops the music, otherwise it'll start playing through the phone speakers.
While at work, I'll use Ultrasonic rather than music assistant, because my data inside my work area is sporadic, and not conducive to a good musical experience with how MASS streams.
holy shit this is the kind of stuff that piques my interest! Flawless location hopping eh? is this descended from the old Logitech platform? will CERTAINLY look into this
-
Have you had problems on android with tempo not continuing playback?
I also run navidrome, and have tried tempo, substreamer, and another client I can't think of, and any of the clients that stream keep stopping playback after one song when the screen is locked.
I've given the client all the permissions for running in the background and using battery that I can and no matter what I do, it'll just stop after one song.
I'm on a pixel 7a with gOS.
For now I've settled on Poweramp with tla selection of the music on my phone since I can't fit it all in storage. Its been really frustrating.
Hmm no, I haven't had this issue. Tempo works fine for me, it's been mostly bug-free except for a few oversights:
- search doesn't work offline
- can't play AAC files
- can't skip songs via my Pebble watch
I'm (still) on a Pixel 3a, running LineageOS, in case that matters.

That I'm not sure of, I know MASS uses snapcast internally, and can stream to LMS/squeezelite players.
I also wouldn't call it 100% flawless, but it works well enough for me.

Ultrasonic works fine for me, on my pixel9 with Navidrome. Plays in the background just fine as well.
I'll give ultrasonic a try. Thank you.

Hello fellow hass/mass user. Also, what sort of low voltage?
Fire/security alarms? Or access control? (Or both)?
I do both, as well as CCTV.
oh lawd i am glad to meet another out in the wild!
i was fortunate to start with residential alarm and A/V. due to a talent vacuum, leapfrogged to control system programmer/service, which allowed a few forks in the road (service manager, project manager and sales,) before bringing me back to my primary passion in this industry, AV programming and design.
but yeah I've installed my fair share of alarm panels, access control, thousands of camera systems.
but most of my shit has been fixing old rich people's wifi and kids/grandkids AV

after using jellyfin and emby for a long while ive gone back to basics, just local mp3s synced between devices using syncthing
something like KDE Connect might work for remote control as long as you are able to install it on both devices
wrote on last edited by [email protected]KDE connect was an absolute divine discovery when i ran across it!

Plex and PlexAmp
It's unpopular around here, but Plexamp is fantastic.

right now I'm trying a dedicated Jellyfin instance for audio only (bought the lifetime emby subscription before i learned about jellyfin, so video is elsewhere) but having trouble finding a good client that could run on the guts of an old autonomic MMS2A. That device has an analog and digital output, which with the normal OS treated as two separate sources. is that something anyone else has tinkered with? the original plan was to just run a kodi instance with the jellyfin addon, but im not sure if this has the horsepower to run kodi, and certainly not two at once! (4gb of ram max for this beast.
i need it to be remotely controllable, it'd be cool to have easy playlist management/backup that other devices could see, and potentially an android client if possible?
I've dabbled with the "____sonic" ecosystem back before i was really good at linux, and struggled a bunch, before giving up without anything real to show for it.
just curious if anyone else has been down this road successfully!
thanks for this community, my scrolling stops INSTANTLY when i see a post from here.
(oh my music server is a truenas SMB share, hosted in a proxmox vm! not opposed to putting a big SSD in this device if local music would make things easier)
emby and shares.
emby unlike jellyfish can mount remote smb shares right in the webinterface.
proxmox/lxc and jellyfin is a pain in the ass you do not want. -

i keep this in my linkwarden!

Also
Navidrome + Synfonium / Tempo
I'm trying out different things in prep to switch to navidrome. I'm impressed how lightweight it is and it hasnt required much work to fix up the library tags as most were already minimally tagged.
One I figure out a secure way to expose it behind auth I'll be able to switch over.
Its been a heck of a time trying to get forwardAuth working with Zitadel so I'm trying out Authelia

Completely agree. I paid for Symfonium after seeing a lot of people on here raving about it but I still ended up back with Plexamp. I'd be curious to hear what people find other apps do better than plexamp.

I'll second navidrome.
I've also added bonob to expose it to some sonos hardware I got for free. I've found it's the easiest way to get custom music and streaming radio into sonos. Music Assistant buffers for some reason.
I'm having the same issues with exposing it. I have mine behind Caddy+caddy-security and it works well through the browser, but I haven't found a native app that can handle that method. I think I'll add it to tailscale eventually to work around that.

Plex and Plexamp. I know the dislike for Plex here, but it works for me and Plexamp is a fantastic piece of kit which, in opinion is worth the lifetime sub alone.

What I am hoping is that I can generate an access key auth in Authelia. Synfonium supports accessKey as an alternative to basic auth for subsonic.
Maybe you could try that with caddy-security?
Synfonium is closed source, but you can use the free trial to test, and buy it outside of Google Play (which is the only reason I haven't dropped it earlier on my quest to de-Google)

The other apps don't harvest my data, for one

I use Jellyfin with Finamp on Android/PC and the Jellyfin plugin for Kodi on my HTPC.
The Jellyfin plugin does movies/shows too and not just music but it handles music playback as well. For a dedicated music box I'm not sure if I would use Kodi for it.

I got 500 gb drive pcloud with my pia socket 5 proxy/ vpn and i can play music files in their app so i put my flacs there.

I also enjoy Navidrome. What does Musicassistant add for you? Seems like it can do a whole lot
