• Ask HN: Flac/MP3 listeners: How do you store/play your music?

  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. [1] - https://ampache.org/ [2] - https://github.com/ampache/ampache. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

• What's yout preferred selfhosted music streaming suite?

  Ampache. I've been using it for a while and it's great. I'd suggest using it with Ample, as Ample's UI is better. It supports the Subsonic API, so subsonic clients will work with it. It also supports DAAP and uPnP, for other clients. It has it's own API as well, but not many apps use that. Source: over 1 year ago

• Old cMP 5,1 - Help me decide what to do with it?

  I was using https://serviio.org/ for streaming until it broke, never got around to fixing it (around 2017~). No idea if there's better options. Source: almost 2 years ago

• M3U

  I setup the Serviio server on my computer. I put in links to m3u8 channels I want to watch and broadcast them to my Roku TV. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Non-Internet way of watching movies from an External Hard drive?

  I use Serviio, https://serviio.org/, which I personally have found much easier to use than Plex. Streaming to BluRay players can be hit and miss (worked fine on my Sony, Samsung sucks) but it works fine with Roku (just need to install Roku Media Player from the app store).

• Can Hypnotix m3u8 links be extracted

  I don't have an HDMI cable long enough to go from the computer to the TV. I plug the links into Serviio and use the Roku Media Player on my TV to display the media browser from the server, so I can pick which IPTV channel I want to watch. As a bonus, I can stream local media, usually used for PLEX, on Serviio as well. But I can't plug entire lists in Serviio, and wouldn't want to anyway. Too many junk links. It's...

• Smart Audio for the Smart Home

  Im my experience Serviio was the only thing that made DNLA even half work and even with that it was flakey. https://serviio.org/. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
