slimserver VS jellyfin-androidtv

Logitec Media Server - Music server. Yes, I'm old enough to have a still-working original squeezebox, as well as multiple squeezebox radios. They're awesome.

I ripped all my audio CDs, back when I still bought CDs, to flac format and serve them up via: https://github.com/Logitech/slimserver or mpd or both.

Logitech Media Server or Owntone would be my recommendations.

Jellyfin is not ideal for this on its own. If you want some that could scale but also play locally check out Logitech Media Server. A lot of other audio projects are built on its code, much less play super nice with it if you want to expand in the future. Notable features is tons of plugins to integrate webradio, podcasts, etc and the easiest whole house audio setup out there.

For serving local music, the free and open source "Logitech Media Server"[0] is a great solution -- main weakness is the lack of a central organization promoting it. In addition to working smoothly with dedicated ("squeeze") clients which can be Logitech-brand or DIY[1, 2], it has a massive plugin catalog that allows e.g.

- airPlay integration: stream to your squeeze-clients via airPlay, stream to your airPlay clients from squeezebox.

- chromeCast integration: stream to chromeCast devices from squeezeBox.

- upNp integration: stream to upNp clients.

The system was originally developed by "SqueezeBox" who also made (awesome) physical devices. SqueezeBox was acquired by Logitech many years ago. Logitech put out one or two devices before giving up, but they are actually playing really nice by continuing to support development on the server (see [0]).

Jellyfin for Android TV (version 0.15.12): Television client for Jellyfin, the free software media system

This is an example of the kind of issue I'm having. I also recently tried to apply subtitles and it didn't work. It's a real shame as it fails the wife test as Plex works without issue.

There's a problem with playlists right now, it's discussed in the Issues section

Jellyfin for Android TV (version 0.15.7): Television client for Jellyfin, the free software media system

I'm working on the app in my spare time and while I do have some specific items in focus (like the playback rewrite) I always end up working on the things I want to work on. There is a "roadmap"-ish list here: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-androidtv/projects/15 but it's not always up-to-date and in no way a promise that everything will happen.

I assume this is the GitHub repo?
