In my last video talking about self-hosted music streaming I mentioned Navidrome as the best option to ditch Spotify and steam your music. I was wrong as Jellyfin actually gives you more control of your media

  1. To my own surprise, I had never heard of Jellyfin before this video and for that thanks. Nevertheless, it's a heartbreaking reminder that I still have a broken Drobo with 10+ years' worth of data on it including my Plex movies and music. So, moving forward may be I will try this. Again, thanks and God bless,

    Deleting comments that do not praise the software you're reviewing is sure a great indicator that this channel truly cares about free/libre software.

    Your taste of music is dope

    I wish jellyfin used a native UI. The web-esque UI really kills me every time I use it.

    I would love to see a tutorial for managing your music with playlists. For me it is absolutely not intuitive.

  6. DJ

    Flac files supported?

    I recently moved from Plex to Jellyfin. However because Jellyfin does not support Sonos I moved my music to Navidrome. Because it uses the Subsonic api I have a lot more choices in apps. Therefore I can use bonob to bridge Navibrome and Sonos and have have a large number of supperted music apps the choice from

    I wouldn’t say it’s better.. it still has the weird playlist thing that it mixes music, movies, tv shows (if you have plays list of those)
    It doesn’t have a good and easy way to handle queue and so on

    They said they are trying to polish the movies/TV part and then (I guess on version 10.9?) they start polishing music.. and finally they will fix the comics/manga/books category

    Can you remove the clowns that say Spotify is the best way to stream music ??

  10. MegaManNeo

    Going to try Jellyfin when I'm booting my NAS again.
    Doubt the little Pi2 I have Navidrome running on can handle it.

  11. cayds

    you're still wrong… spotify is the best way to stream your music!

  12. Asura

    Another tool to add to my HomeLab list

    Thanks TechHut!

    One thing Jellyfin doesn't do that only slightly annoys me is when you identify/replace metadata on jellyfin, it doesn't actually add your changes to the files, so if you remake your server, if you didn't back up everything before recreating it it'll undo all your fixes. So I typically fix the metadata using easytag before I add it into jellyfin, that way I don't have to do it again later.

    Also, try finamp instead of JellyfinAudio, much more features, and less crashy. I had never used JFA before, but 5 mins after downloading it I managed to get it into a state where it no longer would play songs at all.

    In both 'stream your music' videos there was mention of having to fix your library. Does this mean there is a Picard video on the way?

    I have to go through my collection and retag a bunch of stuff, in particular a lot of my music files do not have the Album Artist tag filled in so they do not get displayed when viewing the collection by Album Artist and when viewing the collection by Artist there is a lot of extra scrolling because of the tracks with guest artists getting their own grouping. I don't know how consistently the Album Artist tag is included in the MusicBrainz database, but I don't think it is that hard to add additional tags manually when doing the album lookup, it's been a while since I have used Picard.

    Also do these streaming solutions able to factor in the replaygain tags. I would assume the volume adjustments would have to be done on the streaming server.

    Noticed you have two separate libraries for kids, and adult TV and movies. I know everybody likes to do things differently but incase you didn't know jellyfin has a parental controls option to hide media with certain ratings, tags, etc

    Great video.. Would love to see a video on how to integrate Jellyfin with Amazon Alexa. I have seen a few skills in development but very little on how to get them working properly.

  17. FierceDeity33

    Plexamp was something I never cared about, but "forced" myself to try the app on my phone for a while and holy crap! I would buy plexpass for this feature alone.

    I am so sorry that I sound like a bot, I swear I'm not.

    (also plexamp on desktop is terrible and Most of the missing things are by design. Seriously shitty)

  18. I highly recommend sonixd as a pc client! it connects with jellyfin (and subsonic stuff) and even has a theme that makes it look just like spotify

  19. Jellyfin handles DLNA (over local network) perfectly well, which I'm not sure if Navidrome is even capable of. Being able to use home server to stream music to my network streamer is a godsend.

    I stay with Navidrome. All that edit I do it with Kid3, also because I have a lot of anime, game and movie soundtracks. It also allows me to download an entire album at once. For media I have smb3 or the minidlna.

  21. Todor Todorov

    Whats the point of paying linode when i can just pay spotify or apple music to do the heavy lifting and supply me with 40mil songs on demand

  22. Adult as a category for non-kids equals moviez as a category for Linux ISO … 🙂 no worries, its ok to watch pron 🙂
