[DEV] Symfonium: Music player & cast, the self hosted music player
Since recently, I mostly used Gelli to play my jellyfin music library and was very happy with it, then I discovered Symfonium and bought it because of the Android Auto compatibility, + I like the "random" list on 1st page which allow me to rediscover old stuff I may have forgotten.

What are your scrobbling sources?
I hate spotify so I built a Jellyfin server with my own audio files so I can stream them everywhere I go. Cleaning up all the tags was a *lot* of work. Playback using Gelli (I've also become a contributor in the process because it was the best player for Jellyfin but missing some features I would've liked) and scobbling with Pano scrobbler for Android.

Seeking: Jellyfin Audio Client for mobile, that doesn't need metadata
Maybe Gelli would work for you.

I am writing a free open-source Music Server and Client. What are features missing from Software such as Navidrome PlexAmp, Roon
For music playing only from a Jellyfin server, I would recommend Gelli, which features gapless and cache. It's the best music player I know for Jellyfin.
-
Why do so many third party music listening clients not implement support for scrobbling?
I listen to music on my phone with Gelli. This does not scrobble music either. I'm open to switching apps but finamp seems also not to support scrobbling.

what’s a good music player? looking to replace spotify for me and my family
Jellyfin on the server side and Gelli for the client assuming you are using Android.

Streaming from shared folders
You can just use the music player app from your android phone to connect your jellyfin. Such as gelli or finamp
-
What do you wish you could self-host?
You could try Jellyfin as a media server, it has various Android apps that can stream from it that work quite well. I haven't made up my mind yet which one I prefer, so I use both interchangeably: Gelli and Finamp.

Program for sorting DOWNLOADED movies/games?
I used to use Plex until I found Emby. I find Emby easier to use and it does the same thing. Just putting this here as a fourth option for OP. :)

Ask HN: What is your streaming setup like?
I use https://emby.media along with private trackers and Usenet.

Just checking: Plex is still the best option right?
You can find it here! I have both installed, but I generally keep EMBY turned off until I want to play around with it. You can have both running at once and both accessing the same folders. You can check it out for free.

Yo Ho, Yo Ho, a pirates life for me!! Recent streaming services, prices and shows getting butchered, finally decided its time. Here's how a basic self-hosted 'Netflix' would look like. Fully automated once its setup. Using only a makeshift homelab server from second hand parts.
Emby: Offers premium features with some behind a membership.

media server, bring old days and share with friends
I went with Emby, personally. Plex, Jellyfin, etc are all good choices too! :)

Jellyfin (open source Plex) moves from Reddit to its own traditional-style MyBB forum
For clarity: Emby is still mostly open source (the source code is right here: https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby). Emby started incorporating closed source plugins that you only get with the paid version of Emby in order to try and get revenue.
