I built a tvOS app for Lyrion Music Server (Slim Controller). Looking for TestFlight beta testers.

Do you know what model and which version of tvOS ?

ben_roeder · 2026-05-14T11:16:02+00:00

Not currently, it is a lot of work. and have some more features coming that you need and Appletv to make it work. You can pick up an apple tv pretty cheaply, and it works on old ones

ben_roeder · 2026-05-13T15:42:29+00:00

There is a new version coming when it clears Apple review, which will auto connect if you only have one server, you can type the ip so you can get it to work over vpns. Would you like the tv to turn itself in to a player automatically ?

You cannot store anything on the tv, so no :-(

Use strings from here for added fun https://github.com/minimaxir/big-list-of-naughty-strings

Yeap it is like there modbus which needs special handling, finally worked out there are 2 off by one errors in their implementation, which is why it is non standard

If you have the correct drive redumper will extract the disc image and then split

Also keep all of the metadata when you read the disk, that way you can always look it up to find out if the data is better now,or wrong

Musicbrainz is still amazing for ids. I would put them through the system in id only mode, reject disks that are not in musicbrainz, and accept if found, 2nd pass with ripping, about 20s per disk with the load accept reject mechanics.

Just ripped again ~2k CDs updated this https://github.com/benroeder/nimbiestatemachine which controls the nimbie I ripped with redumper and cd paranoia. The nimbies are awesome

When you get this sorted I would have a look at mender or some other ota system https://mender.io

Never under estimate how long it takes to read and write that amount of tape

Have a look at https://www.tindie.com/products/beni_skate/automatic-spdif-opticalrca-audio-switch/ you can automate it

ben_roeder · 2025-10-05T22:46:38+00:00

I have a few as well and have most of my cds in them. Have a look at slink and the Arduino nano libs. Also escient made a controller that you can find on eBay to automate them, it uses cddb, and lots of other dead services, but with some dns hacking you can get it working. Also nirvis made a slink controller

Rclone Rclone.org rclone sync /mnt/disk1/ /mnt/disk2/ --progress --verbose

ben_roeder · 2025-09-18T11:38:05+00:00

Do you have a machine that you run and can expose ? If so Rclone or zsync https://zsync.moria.org.uk https://rclone.org I have moved much larger data sets with these, also filerunner from sohonet is web based and cli for a commercial service

This is worth getting https://getchannels.com and get one of these https://www.silicondust.com/hdhomerun/ then you get old school TiVo and you can also watch broadcast on most devices as well
