• Plex/Plexamp music tagging system is broken

  For those that dont know if you add an album that has multiple album artists ( artist 1;artist b) then plex/plexamp instead of showing the album in both artists pages and showing both artist tags as clickable (same way EVERY streaming service is serving music right now) it populates a new artists page named "artists a;artist b". They keep adding trash features that none cares about or even asks and don't even have... Source: 12 months ago

• What kind of applications are missing from the Linux ecosystem?

  Just wanted to give quick plug for my music player app Supersonic! It's a client for Subsonic API-compatible servers, so it handles the UI and playback while the server (Gonic or LMS would be good lightweight choices for localhost-only setup) handles the library management/metadata indexing. It's a quite young project but I have lots of plans for continued improvement and new features (and would gladly accept... Source: about 1 year ago

• Any way to stream my nearly 2TB library from my iPhone?

  If you're concerned about power usage You can start with just a raspberry pi or something similar running something like Lightweight Music Server which uses a subsonic protocol. Then any app that can connect to a subsonic server like ultrasonic (not sure if this one specifically available for iOS). That's how I started before moving onto Plex and Plexamp.

  Good time to move your library to something else like LMS Https://github.com/epoupon/lms. Source: over 1 year ago

• What's yout preferred selfhosted music streaming suite?

  I use LMS (Lightweight Music Server) to stream my music to desktop and mobile. It supports the Subsonic API for clients, scrobbling to ListenBrainz, has a nice web UI, and for some reason is the only music server that supports volume equalization with Replaygain. Source: over 1 year ago

• 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. :). Source: 5 months ago

• Ask HN: What is your streaming setup like?

  I use https://emby.media along with private trackers and Usenet. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• 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. Source: 10 months ago

• 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.

  I went with Emby, personally. Plex, Jellyfin, etc are all good choices too! :). Source: 10 months ago
