Ampache VS Mopidy

I'm using the nginx config from the installation. I've also tried it via docker as well, but I get the same results there.

I'm not sure if this would fit all your needs aside from running on Linux but Ampache [1][2] has been around for a very long time and has the ability to mesh with other instances. It started as a small project run by some students at OSU and evolved over time.

Great news! One thing, the 6.0.0-preview1 section of the releases page says the changes are listed at https://github.com/ampache/ampache/wiki/Ampache-Next-Changes but that points to changes in 5.0. The link should be https://github.com/ampache/ampache/wiki/ampache6-details

Lots and lots of FOSS music players use libspotify or can otherwise connect to your Spotify account.

Here's just one. It's BYO frontend. https://mopidy.com/

Probably a good time to give a shout out to Mopidy: https://mopidy.com/

Though as for myself, I'm still running Squeezebox - nothing like being able to SSH into your smart speaker and mess around with the Perl system that's running it.

Have you tried Mopidy or MPD daemon? There's even a mopidy-party extension that is

I've tried several times to get mpd working over a network. The only way I got it to work was with mopidy. At some point it broke and I moved on to jellyfin instead. Too bad, because I love ncmpcpp as a client.

I have a music library on my home server that I use mopidy to play via the iris plugin integrated into my home assistant UI. It plays over Snapcast which streams over the network to multiple devices in the home with independent volume control. I can fire up the Snapcast client in my phone to get it going there as well, which does work over vpn if I'm away, though I generally just fire up the files from my phones SD card for out-of-home listening. I recently started using whipper on Linux to extract audio from craigslist cds.

Could instead use Mopidy as the music player, which has plugins for Spotify and Airplay support.

Thanks! I use it on a daily basis, but I don’t think it’s ready for a wider adoption yet — for example, a pause button is still missing ... I’d be curious to know your experience with it though! For something more stable, you might like Mopidy.

Right now I'm reading about mopidy and iris (I have a server with some docker services and it would be nice using it as a Spotify connect device), I think this setup could be extended with extra algorithms, maybe they already exist as modipy extensions. I've never gone into detail about these but I'll do it!
