jellycli VS gelli

If using mopidy is not the best way to approach this, I'm open to alternatives. I've tried jellycli, but it currently has some track selection issues that make it unworkable for me. (It also uses ~50% of my raspberry pi's CPU, while the python-based mopidy uses ~2%, so I really question what's going on with that go program.) I also have a Chromecast Audio available, but before I go to the effort of creating a letsencrypt cert and overriding DNS on my network I'd rather exhaust the Raspberry Pi options.

Another option could be to run jellycli (https://github.com/tryffel/jellycli) on the server. It has a headless option which looks like it should appear as an option on the Jellyfin "Play on" menu. This would allow you to use a common interface whether playing locally or via the NAS conneted speakers.

There's also jellycli or Preserve that are other options.

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.

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.

Maybe Gelli would work for you.

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.

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.

Jellyfin on the server side and Gelli for the client assuming you are using Android.

You can just use the music player app from your android phone to connect your jellyfin. Such as gelli or finamp

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.
