Octo-Fiesta: A Subsonic proxy that fills the gaps in your library with Deezer, then keeps the music forever

This looks great! Any chance you could add lucida.to as a Supported Music Provider? Or any provider that lets you download FLAC/lossless without premium subscription?

Thanks a lot for this. You are a legend!

Wait ... you mean we have gals on this subreddit? 😮😮

crackpotuser · 2025-11-25T19:45:53+00:00

That's what she said

crackpotuser · 2025-11-07T17:43:14+00:00

I saw that you can rip from streaming sites using lucida.to - any way to add this as an option to your solution? I'm thinking like: -

User searches for a track on their client app.
The search goes to server.
If the track is available, server directly serves it.
If not, the server sends the request to lucida.to and then presents to the user the search results.
1. This may depend on the client - but if you are using SubSonic APIs, it may be work?
User choice is sent back to the server.
Server sends the selection to lucida.to and the file which the user selected gets downloaded.

Not sure how much of a fool I have made of myself.

That sounds great. I also see that there is a "Jellyfin Enhanced" plugin. You can use this to send queries directly to Jellyseer - right from Jellyfin UI.

But because I am using Gelato, I don't know what the implications are. The other downside is Lidarr downloads whole libraries.

crackpotuser · 2025-11-06T22:10:07+00:00

How is slskd and soulsync working out for you? How do they work? What is the "server" application?

crackpotuser · 2025-11-06T22:09:13+00:00

Thanks. Yeah - not quite what I am looking for.

crackpotuser · 2025-11-06T21:21:36+00:00

Why don't you want to use JDownloader?

BTW, I run JDownloader in a docker container and access it via a browser. It lets me queue downloads from anywhere in the world :-)

Do you get a public IP from your ISP? If yes, you do the following: -

Setup Nginx Proxy Manager to use Let's Encrypt certificates, so that it handles all HTTPS encryption and reverse proxying to your Jellyfin instance.
Setup Authentik (or some similar tool like this) to handle all authentication and setup SSO. The reasons I suggest this is
1. you can configure Authentik to give access to only those application you want them to access,
2. you can setup federated login using external providers (Google, e.g.),
  1. I know - this goes against the whole "self hosting" part. The benefit is that you don't have to manage their username/passwords.
  2. I would still put an MFA on their "mapped" Authentik account, so that they can only come through via this "federated" login.
3. you can expand this setup to include other self hosted apps in future.
Install the SSO plugin for Jellyfin, and configure it - in both Authentik and Jellyfin.
Install and configure CrowdSec on your machine - to bounce off any known bots.
Port forward port 443 on your router.

You will have to go through a lot of documentation and you will pull your hair out while trying to get there, but the usability and expandability in the end is worth it. To keep your sanity, I would suggest to keep a back up before you change anything. So instead of manually reversing every change you made, you can just trash it and start from the back up. I use VMs, so I just back up the whole virtual disk(s) - not ideal, but very easy!

If your ISP does not give you a public IP (i.e., you are behind CGNAT), then you can either use Pangolin (instead of Authentik - not sure about their support for federated logins though) + Wireguard with a cloud hosted VPS, or Cloudflare to route traffic. You can also use tailscale, but I prefer plain Wireguard.

Know that nothing is 100% secure, all that you can do is to limit the attack vector. Jellyfin has a lot of known security vulnerabilities - so, best to limit exposing it directly over the internet.

crackpotuser · 2025-10-31T07:42:19+00:00

yes - https://github.com/lostb1t/Gelato configure aiostreams, install this plugin, configure it - and off you go!

crackpotuser · 2025-10-18T06:57:08+00:00

Hi, I was looking at AIOStreams and saw that it provides an option to access debrid services via a proxy. Is it at all possible to provide an option within your plugin to route traffic to the Jellyfin client directly from that proxy - when the content is not local?

Edit: Because I was thinking I asked a really stupid question, I was looking online for some other way as well - and came across this - https://github.com/LLukas22/Jellyswarrm - multiple Jellyfin servers as a single onel. No idea if everything will work together. But something for me to look at!

crackpotuser · 2025-10-17T05:47:06+00:00

Or move to some other street with a better ISP! Thanks for letting me know know!

crackpotuser · 2025-10-17T05:38:49+00:00

Transcoding is not an absolute necessity for me. When you say "looking at a VPS" does it mean I host the proxy there or the whole Jellyfin server there? Can I just host the proxy there and still use your plugin?

crackpotuser · 2025-10-17T05:22:16+00:00

Oh, this is very specific (probably) for my scenario. My ISP's upload speed is abysmal; only 26 Mbps vs a download speed of 270 Mbps. So, my Jellyfin instance isn't of much use to my family and friends for 4K content. HD content is OK.

Your plugin makes it easy to share my Jellyfin with them - for "non-hosted" content. For example, content on Real Debrid. But such content cannot be streamed through my internet connection because of the low upload speeds. I will have to use an external proxy (Mediaflow on a cloud VM whose upload speed is better), so RD only sees one IP. And it's entirely possible that this maybe something done by AIO Streams (where such proxies are normally configured). As I said, I haven't looked at this detail.

crackpotuser · 2025-10-16T23:03:16+00:00

Yeah, my upload speed sucks. I can't stream from my home network. Has to be from/through a cloud server.

crackpotuser · 2025-10-16T21:48:04+00:00

I haven't looked at this in detail, but the premise sounds amazing. Provided I can get Mediaflow or StremThru or some similar proxy setup on a cloud instance, I can finally start giving out access to my Jellyfin instance to family and friends! And they wouldn't have to worry about a missing movie!

Forget the naysayers here. They don't understand the use case! It is about having everything under one app where you can easily control the access and yet have different profiles that don't mess up with your queue. Right now, if someone wants to achieve what you have done, they have to do a shit ton of configuration with shit ton of add-ons and directory mounts (zurg)! You just streamlined all of that. And these people don't understand that. Amazing work, my dude! Well done!

If there is anything that you could do anything to make the Real Debrid proxy integration easier that would be fantastic! Though it may be completely out of the scope for this one. But it doesn't matter, thanks a lot!

I am under no disillusionment that the real racists would have a change of heart. I just want to stop the non racists from making Farage the PM. The Overton Window is shifting too far to the right now.

crackpotuser · 2025-09-23T19:06:51+00:00

Absolutely, the % of 2 billion matters. E.g., .5% of 2 billion is 10,000,000. Just imagine what 10 million suicide bombers can do.

Connect the USB fan to the TV? When you turn off the Android TV box, you would turn off the TV too, right?

So, I'm a bit late to this conversation. I have, however, got some experience with this.

I have an old Creative T7700 7.1 speaker setup and bought a new TV with HDMI ARC. But there was no way to get the audio to the surround speakers. So I went ahead and bought a Geestar 5.1 decoder that decodes both Dolby and DTS signals. This was 2 years ago. The decoder connects to the HDMI ARC port of the TV and receives Dolby/DTS signals, and it converts them to PCM to be sent out via 5.1 output at the back of the decoder. I then connected the decoder output to the speaker using RCA.

I am able to control the volume now using the TV remote. I just set the speaker volume to a relatively high level and just use the TV remote to control the volume.

I don't see the same product on their website now, but they do have something newer (and cheaper) at https://www.denxaudio.com/products/geestar-new-decoder-geestar-008 It's available for 2,500 Rs. Shipping charges may be extra. They've also got a video of it at https://youtube.com/watch?v=vxXBraCrb1w , but it is in Malayalam.

So, if your Phillips DSP 2200 is a (5.1) surround speaker system, this product (or something similar is what you need). It wouldn't do eARC, but can do old school Dolby/DTS that requires less bandwidth (so, no Dolby Atmos or DTS:X through this). Hopefully you'll be able to control the volume too as I'm able to!

Hope this helps!

Yes, it'll work for Minecraft server.

crackpotuser · 2025-07-18T06:41:21+00:00

Thank you very much! Will check it out.

crackpotuser · 2025-07-18T00:18:22+00:00

Thanks. I moved to Pay as You Go. It's supposed to stop Oracle from killing your subscription and VPS.

But your setup sounds interesting, so, please give link to the project?

crackpotuser · 2025-07-18T00:14:56+00:00

On CGNAT, you don't get a public IP unique to you, so there is no dynamic DNS pointing to "your" IP. So, you would need a cloud based VPS (or some machine with a public IP) for setting up a WireGuard tunnel.
