Absolutely agreed. And if you're a digital person like me, consider having local copies of your music and

I self-host my own (large) music collection, have whole-house audio, and can stream it anywhere there's a connection as well.

trying to set up tonight before I go to bed and I'm going to give myself a headache.

realising if I can progress in my coding skills (and honestly if I can bring back some enthusiasm for it) the value I could provide might lie in packaging these things so they're easy to use.

Well, it looks like the easiest solution for my Linux-based setup is:

1. - streams music from my Subsonic-compatible server () and then sends that music to...
2. - This *appears* to be a more modern app for streaming audio that is recommended by the mopidy folks.

However, since setting all of this up is beyond my short-term abilities I will only be able to inflict my awesome, new "4th of July" playlist on my long-suffering family :-)

My this week was to repair the holes in my ceiling. The holes were from installing new lights. I also looked at and didn’t come away impressed. I couldn’t get it to sound very good at all.

mit (LibreELEC) als Quelle läuft nach ein wenig Basteln überraschend gut.
Jetzt muss ich mir nur noch überlegen, wie ich Lautsprecher einigermaßen günstig in Snapcast-Clients umwandeln kann. Hat jemand eine Idee?

Seriously thinking of tinkering with and for my home multi room audio.
I currently use and various clients around the house with DACs attached to amps. I never even thought of modipy until I read @neil toot. 🙄
Anyone else have experience and pros / cons ??

🧵 So here's a lovely, practical example of why I love this evening:

I've been trying to statically compile so I could run it as a client on my SteamDeck. Now , doesn't come with a few of the static libraries I'm needing, so I'm going to have to compile them myself to get the libraries etc etc.

I have a bunch of .so library files, but no idea where they've come from. OK, so I need to run pkgfile to find each one. (1/3)

@kelbot @redeagle OK! I've tried out a ton of audio options, and written up my experiences with them here: changelog.complete.org/archive

Summary: I might stick with my current and ( @ampache ) even though they're clunky in combination. Ampache with and was clunky in every which way. with was close, but couldn't play my playlists in proper order. is great, but I'm having trouble finding a quality thing to feed it with.

@kelbot @redeagle Innnteresting. I am starting to see how these could work together. There is also a extension for , and supports the Subsonic protocol.... so I might even be able to just go in that direction.

Jellyfin's mobile app scene is... not great... compared to Ampache/Subsonic.

So I could use as a frontend to , backed not by a filesystem but by the system I use for mobile streaming? I like this better than Ampache->mpd->soundsync. @ampache

@kelbot @redeagle So I'm experimenting here! I've got installed. It looks like Mopidy is a local player that can feed audio to it. OK, that's fine. But then I have the same problem as before: for playing on my phone, I need Ampache, and then I want playlist synchronization between the two, which I don't have, AFAICT?

@ampache Thank you! I found Ampache's page at github.com/ampache/ampache/wik . I got localplay set up to go to MPD, and from there to . It works, but it's got some problems:

- I can't seek within a track
- The quality of the mpd stream is dependent on the streaming quality settings of the user that clicked "play", and it is transcoding all my to mp3 unnecessarily.
- stops streaming and I have to manually restart it after clicking Stop in Ampache.

@kelbot @redeagle You've got me thinking that plus either or may be the way to go, if it's possible to do remote control of a Jellyfin instance. I'll look into it! I don't really need the capability to play different music in different rooms very often, so could do without that.

@kelbot @redeagle I wonder if or would work with to make an integrated experience? reddit.com/r/jellyfin/comments at least seems to be one person doing it (or maybe with instead; I'd like to avoid that.)

and both now set up, with Homie control to start client on each separate control unit.

Next jobs:

1) Reflash based on latest
2) Test
3) Start flashing a bunch of SD cards
4) Build a bunch more control units.

@arran If you don't want to play 4K videos it should be fine (it struggles with h265 even at HD though). Audio is fine, even running multiple instances and a server at the same time is no problem for.

@arran I run a DAC for that purpose, the snapclient seems to have no issue with it, but the kodi installation is often unhappy about getting snatched the device for other purposes and suddenly can't find it any more. Other than that it works fine.

The will have about a dozen of these units throughout:

• Raspberry Pi 3B(+) - runs and to dashboard, and for audio.
• Touchscreen provides access to control lights & audio
• Room speakers are powered by connected iQAudio +

Hope is that built-in WiFi & Bluetooth may also be used for internal positioning of phones, devices etc. in future.
