not to be a downer, but this makes it look like its not much more than an Idea:

Current status (what works / what doesn’t) Connection

Linux → Android (functional in the deprecated version, check deprecated/ directory)
Linux ↔ Linux (not implemented yet)
Android ↔ Android (not implemented yet)

File transfer

Android → Linux
Linux → Android

probably a jellyfin plugin which then hooks into the seerr service

1. You can request in Seer and after downloading click the “Watch on Jellyfin”-Button, which then leads you to the movie. So its technically two separate services but feel like one. (With Seerr, Prowlarr, Radarr, a Downloading Client, Jellyfin and Bazarr its actually many selfhosted services but it doesnt feel like it.)

2. With my setup through Radarr I need to download the whole movie. For series it depends it also meeds to download one whole file, then it goes through sonarr and then gets sorted properly into the library with metadata and coverimage and so on.

So yes, I cannot sit down and then decide spontaniously what to watch. But I currently dont work like that: I hear about a good movie somewhere, add it to the library. Then, after 10’ to 2 days (depending on how popular it is) its downloaded. When I sit down because I have time to watch something, I then browse through the library, which I all know, that they are good and interesting movies.

If I have friends over, I ask, what they wanna watch, request it and we eat dinner and afterwards we watch the movie.

yea, not any more really. but its not a clear line at all lom

Does a Mac turn into a PC when using Linux on it? Thats at least how it would work with my definition of PC, which is “personal” meaning that you control it fully. But I never thought that deep about it really.

I am barely “comfortable” with Linux, have only a very rudimentary, half broken V1 of a homelab set up on Linux Mint. I count myself into that category, yes. But I also read stuff here and on itsfoss and on other plattforms, mostly to learn things by osmosis, because I am not interested enough to buy a Linux or Commandline Book or sth.

Wrong. I recently gave up on setting up a docker setup at my homelab and am now learning more if it before trying a second time. I read lemmy Linux communities and itsfoss since two years or more.

I heard of Navidrome, never used it. Jellyfin works as well.

The client is maybe more inportant, can recomment Symphonium.

Probably the most probable that youtube can be replaced, at least for high quality videos

Symphonium supports playlists. You can make a own manual playlist or a “smart” playlist, which has the x amount of least listened to songs, the 10 highest rated ones and so on. Everything is on the listening device local, so you have to backup for yourself. Symphonium is really really customizable.

Sorry for german. A setting for an intelligent playlist for all highly rated songs which I havent listented to in 70 days. (AND/OR) can be set for rules. Its amazing.

Music recommendation is not really a thing unfortunately by the nature which most of download->server->jellyfin->client systems run.

You really need the “big data”-aspect which spotify or similar providers have to have good recommendation, so no local solution is possible. I sometimes use listenbrainz (by the musicbrainz team) like lastfm and then manually aquire new music I want to have on my musicserver.

Jellyfin works nicely for music, as long as you use a good client. The native jellyfin mobile app is not optimized for music. I use symphonium for android listening and am very pleased with it. More settings than Id ever need, different options for downloading/caching songs on device, support for subtitles and all.

A tierlist for my usecase would have been more useful. :(

No, as there are clearly many non lgbtq subs banned

Jellyfin + Symphonium as a client on android 💯
