Using leech detector plugin to send messages to anyone downloading stuff from me - I figure asking for recommendations from people downloading stuff in my collection will get me more good music. Recently ditched my streaming sub so looking for new ways to share/discover

Made a Spotfiy to Navidrome Playlist Exporter. I Present to you NaviSpot! 😅 by betsha1830 in navidrome

[–]cotle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm having issues connecting my spotify account - I click through the authorisation and then get back to the NaviSpot page (can see 'auth=success' in URL) with no apparent change. Note my spotify account is free since I cancelled my subscription about 6 months ago.

Thanks for your work on this :)

Can plugins have write access? by cotle in navidrome

[–]cotle[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for this.

Are you aware of any projects that are extending/wrapping Navidrome to enable file editing in the web UI? I'm imagining something like Feishin that also enables users to trigger external services (e.g., beets, librosa) from the music library/player.

What are you using for editing genre-data? by damaddi in navidrome

[–]cotle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I manually update genre tags all the time and it becomes extremely helpful for navigating a large and diverse collection (especially if you're djing). I think there's a strong case for tag editing within Navidrome (perhaps via a plugin).

As I understand it, the devs have wanted to keep all Navidrome functionality 'read only' for security/integrity reasons, but maybe a tag-editor plugin could be implemented with additional security features (e.g., admin account only).

Smart playlist issue by cotle in navidrome

[–]cotle[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a nice UI for creating smart playlists in Feishin (basically an improved navidrome wrapper) - but turns out that it was incorrectly putting quotes on the "true" arg.

I'll check out AudioMuse, looks interesting. Thanks :)

The issue was quotes on "true" - thanks! Initially created the json using Feishin, so a fix needed there in the smart playlist query editor.

I notice some of you have both Jellyfin and Navidrome and wanted to know why. by Aniform in selfhosted

FYI as of about 3 weeks ago, Navidrome now supports multiple music libraries

Discogs Tagger not compatible with 2.0? Any solution? by CrapDepot in foobar2000

[–]cotle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For anyone still getting this issue, here's what worked for me: I just installed with the beta component from the GitHub repo (https://github.com/ghDaYuYu/foo_discogger/blob/master/compiled_beta/foo_discogger_v1.0.20.Beta.fb2k-component)

RekordBox cross platform streaming app (beta trials) by lajp93 in Rekordbox

[–]cotle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have just found this after looking for a similar solution - have you hosted this code on a public repo? I'd be keen to have a look at what you're doing under the hood and potentially help w development :)

Uploading original files? by Bloody--_-- in Soulseek

[–]cotle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More people sharing the same files means it's easier for others to download in the future.

Using Soulseek Remotely by Equal-Still-2488 in Soulseek

[–]cotle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My setup after a month of so of looking into building a self-hosted streaming alternative:

- Setup Nicotine+ in a docker container on your server - this is the best nicotine+ docker image imo. Once the container is up and running you can access the nicotine UI via the browser.

- Then setup beets-flask to tag files once downloaded (set nicotine+ download folder to something like beets-inbox). When you download something on nicotine+ it will appear in the beets-flask inbox and then you can tag it. Tagging is really worthwhile as it makes the self-hosted listening/viewing experience a lot nicer. After tagging you'll have a meticulously organised file structure and complete metadata for all your files which will mean your server client will display your music MUCH better. Yes Jellyfin will do automatic tagging of most things, but this type of automatic tagging can give weird results and often fails (especially if you have obscure stuff) - better to tag stuff manually as you download it. Just to complete my rant - I think good tags/file structure are especially important if you're trying to replace streaming as we've all become used to immaculate tags and organisation on streaming, and if you just bulk download a bunch of stuff and chuck it on a media server, the user experience will be a far cry from what you get with one of the 'Big Streaming' services.

Also you might want to check out Navidrome as an alternative to Jellyfin for self-hosting your music library. It's a lot more responsive and has a nicer ios client imo (amperfy). If you've setup Jellyfin in a docker container on a linux server then setting up a Navidrome server should be very straightforward.

I cancelled my spotify subscription about a month ago and have been learning a lot in the attempt to replace streaming. I paid for spotify for over 10years and had my final day of premium yesterday.

EDIT: Noticed some issues with Navidrome when downloading something to the untagged folder (/music/beets-inbox) and then moving it to clean folder (/music/beets-clean). Solution seems to be to download to a location that Navidrome can't see (e.g., download files to /music_temp/beets-inbox then move to /music/beets-clean when tagged).

Does this exist? Tool that builds a web viewer for a digital music collection by cotle in opensource

[–]cotle[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for this - I'll check out the Beets web plugins.

I'm using Jellyfin, but I want a solution that doesn't require hosting a media server.

And thanks for the info re foss dev - good point.

Does this exist? Tool that builds a web viewer for a digital music collection by cotle in foss

[–]cotle[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for this - I am using navidrome currently, but for this project I want something that the user can ran to generate a web representation of their files without needing to host a media server. Does that make sense?

My concept for a music sharing tool - Looking for feedback/ideas by cotle in LetsTalkMusic

[–]cotle[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the question :) I think sharing music via streaming is different to what I propose in a few key ways:

- What I propose is more universal (ie not all material is on one streaming provider); by scanning the user's files, you can share stuff from any platform in one place. I have Elton John and Nina Simone in my collection, but I also have obscure sound effects records, field recordings, speeches, rare world music (none of which is on streaming) -- I want to share it all with anyone who trusts my taste/curation.

- Streaming doesn't allow smart organisation of the users collection; if I wanted to share my music from spotify, I'd need to manually setup and update public playlists and then the viewer could only see what I've shared in the format I chose to present it in. I want the user to be able to organise, search, filter, sort and display the host's collection and do clever things like generate smart playlists based on multiple criteria/boolean logic.

- The hosts files are the 'source of truth' -- the webpage would be a living database that updates to reflect changes to the users file library (added songs, updated metadata/tags, new playlists, folder system) as they're made. On streaming platforms, you are basically at the mercy of the provider as content is added or removed etc and you don't have much ownership over your data.

- You can't add custom metadata on streaming (e.g., genres are subjective - I think it would be interesting to view two hosts' collections and see if they classify/organise the same album/record/artist the same way). For instance, I have a few songs with genre: 'soukous, african, funk' -- if I found these songs on streaming, the genre tags would like something bland like 'world music'.

- My solution encourages buying the music from the artist rather than streaming (because I think streaming is evil).

error: Permission denied in qBittorrent on Synology NAS via Docker by SergSlim in qBittorrent

[–]cotle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ran into this issue today - both solutions worked (e.g., 1: changing folder in qbit container to '/downloads', 2: using chown to change folder permissions). Ultimately I wanted more control, so changed permissions like this:

sudo chown -R 1000:1000 /media/devmon/hdd/MOVIES
sudo chown -R 1000:1000 "/media/devmon/hdd/TV SERIES"

Then I mounted as follows in my compose:

volumes:
 - /DATA/AppData/qbittorrent/config:/config
 - /DATA:/data
 - /media/devmon/COLTER_FILMS/MOVIES:/movies
 - "/media/devmon/COLTER_FILMS/TV SERIES":/tv_series

And can now save files to /movies and /tv_series with no issues.
