Fuck no, ain't nobody got time for that! My self hosted stack has 40+ services. I lock them to minor releases (where semvers are used), deploy blind with automation, and fire alerts when breakages occur, which is thankfully rarely.

What you're suggesting works for small, very carefully curated environments. I grew past that years ago and doubly so when I had kids.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

40? Kinda curious what you are running now.

Could you please explain your use case for Music Assistant if you already have Jellyfin/Plex and Navidrome?

[–] kata1yst 8 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Certainly!

Jellyfin I use for video content. I find its music functions lackluster.

Navidrome I use (and my family uses) for personal listening.

Music around the house, like on one or more of my casting capable speakers / tvs I use Music Assistant. Also let's me do automations easily, and doesn't tie up an android phones media's output. Struggled with earbuds while casting taking over audio for too long before deploying Music Assistant!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

If you're looking for more tinkering on the music around the house front, Lyrion music server + squeezelite players can be a very fun endeavor. I think it gets a little sketchy if you're favoring automation and casting, but as a network of players that will utilize a wide swath of hardware, it shines. I had a bunch of pi4s laying around and eventually repurposed them all into a multiroom audio gang.

[–] kata1yst 2 points 2 days ago

Yeah Music Assistant uses Snapcast, which has been fun. I did try squeeze, but haven't had a reason to switch so far

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Thanks! I thought most people don't use navidrome if they have multiple users because they can't create user-specific playlists. Is this not the case? What music features do you find limiting on Jellyfin? Also, how did you get your family to switch off music streaming for your navidrome server?

[–] kata1yst 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

The streaming was easy, just declared I wasn't paying for it anymore lol. We still have a crappy version of Spotify for free because of another service (ISP or phone plan something like that), but it's purely used as a backup.

Jellyfin's interface is a bit clunky as a music client in my experience. FinAmp looks cool but it's still early on.

Navidrome does smart playlist, crossfading, gapless, flac streaming, and flac to opus transcoding. Those are sorta my core requirements, and Navidrome + the clients we use handles them all with aplomb.

And actually that's another great feature I enjoy for Navidrome, there are dozens of excellent clients, so if one of them falls short for someone they can find one that they enjoy.

As for the user playlist thing... I haven't seen anything like that but maybe I'm misunderstanding.

[–] soulofdragnsfire 2 points 2 days ago (2 children)

What's your hardware solution for that? I've reached the limit of my configuration and may need to look into more robust hardware (or moving things like jellyfin off to a dedicated machine)

[–] kata1yst 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

It's old but fairly beefy. Most of the RAM is reserved for ZFS reads, but in reality theres tons of headroom.

CPU: 2x E5-2630L v2

Motherboard: Intel S2600CP

RAM: 16x8GB DDR3 1333 ECC

Disk:

  • 1x 500GB SSD OS
  • 1x 500GB SSD ZFS cache (L2ARC)
  • 45TB ZFS Mirror+Stripe pool (various sizes, 8 disks)

I'll probably be moving this to a cluster of mini computers whenever prices look right, just for power efficiency.

Minus the storage the box cost me about $600, mostly in RAM. The CPUs were like $20 each, the mobo was about $150, etc

[–] kata1yst 1 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I will add, what helped me the most with Plex/Jellyfin load was using Tdarr to normalize my library's formats into something easy to direct stream to any device without transcoding.

[–] soulofdragnsfire 1 points 2 days ago

I'll check out tdarr. If it's something I can configure to run overnight it probably would be worth the effort. Thanks!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I ran tdarr for a while, eventually I found for most things that it was faster (and better quality) to re-download in better formats than to re-encode.

Tell me more about this PBS Kids downloaded (like where I might find it) 😁

[–] kata1yst 2 points 2 days ago (3 children)

It's a crappy python script I packaged in a docker container lol. Turns out PBS kids uses an open unauthenticated CDN for serving videos to the website and apps.

I can share if you want, but it'll take me until tomorrow to make it public

So i got the container running, logs are showing the same error loop every couple of seconds. I'm wondering if it's because the video url don't match what's in your gitlab readme:

https://pbskids.org/videos/watch/design-squad-full-episodes/1385861/one-giant-leap-part-2-ep-409/35449

https://pbskids.org/videos/watch/cyberchase-full-episodes/1385841/if-you-cant-stand-the-heat/1568637

[–] kata1yst 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Hmmm. I just double checked and my episodes are still downloading. But maybe newer shows have a different format... What's the exact error? I'll try to reproduce and fix.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Ah. I just walked away from my computer for the day. I can check tomorrow.

[–] kata1yst 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

So I just spot checked. Both shows work, you just have to not click an episode anymore.

E.g, https://pbskids.org/videos/design-squad -> design-squad

Thank you for telling me, I'll update the readme

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago) (1 children)

So I just got back to this today and I still have the same error:

Also tried with just "design-squad", and tried with "cyberchase design-squad"

[–] kata1yst 1 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Okay, thanks for giving me that, I'll investigate further tonight

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 hours ago (1 children)
[–] kata1yst 1 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Can you provide your docker-compose entry or your docker run command?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 hours ago

Here. I'm on docker 3.7. I think it's correct...

services: elinorr: image: registry.gitlab.com/mwirth001/elinorr:latest container_name: elinorr environment: - PUID=1000 - PGID=1000 - TZ=America/Chicago - SHOW_LIST="design-squad" volumes: - '/mnt/user/appdata_docker/elinorr:/elinorr/config' - '/mnt/user/media/zz_downloads/elinorr_downloads:/elinorr/downloads' restart: unless-stopped

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Ah cool. Thanks for checking it out.
