I’m not sure what you’re asking. It sounds like you’ve done the hard work. You just need to start filling the holes in the library and building the playlist.

Or are you asking how to pirate music?

Oh, good to know! I’ll take a deeper look at it this week.

Watcharr is for building a backlog and recording what you’ve watched.

Seerr does let you build a backlog, but it’s more for the users of your media server to be able to request items for acquisition. Once approved, it sends the request to be automatically downloaded and added to your library.

Now since you have me looking… I installed Watcharr and it’s okay. Has a Discovery section. Easy to add things and mark them watched. But no stats, no integrations. It just seems a little barebones.

So I installed Yamtrack. The UI isn’t really as intuitive to me and there doesn’t seem to be a Discover function. BUT I love that it can track books, video games, and others as well. It also has Jellyfin integration.

I’m going to live with Yamtrack for a bit and see. It would be great to have a tracking app that also handles media requests. Seerr let’s you build a watchlist, but it isn’t all that helpful or fleshed out.

Looks like there’s also Watcharr if you want to stick with piratey sounding apps.

Definitely going to keep an eye out! As far as frequency, it would be nice to add a “float” setting where a user could set a number of days as a window for reminders. So let’s say I want to be reminded every 14 days to check in with my dad. But I don’t want HIM knowing that I’m on a schedule, so if Iset a 3 day float, I could be reminded any time between 11-17 days.

Am I making any sense?

I have a Beelink Mini S that I got 4 or 5 years ago (N5095, 8GB RAM, 256GB SDD). It was $200 new at the time. It’s easily handling the hosting of 20-25 services.

For the little that you plan on doing with it, I think you could grab just about anything.

Another vote for CWA. It’s been a year and I can fully remember my reasons for not going with something else, but I tried several and nothing was quite as complete for what I needed.

I also don’t want or need much for automation. I want to curate my library, there are few authors I’d want to monitor and grab everything from. Then from a metadata front, CWA lets me easily search for and cherry pick bits of metadata.

Navidrome server on the NAS. If I’m away from home and using a computer, I have it exposed to the internet and just use the web app.

On my home computer I’ve been using PsySonic lately and like it quite a bit. Quirks here and there, but it does get updates.

On my phone, and so just about everywhere, I use Symfonium. None of the FOSS apps I found last year did it for me. Symfonium is ridiculously customizable.

Thank you for the more detailed response. Like I said, I’m no pro at any of this. I just want to learn when I can.

And for the record, I don’t know who downvoted your comments, but it was not me!

That still doesn’t help me understand why you would clone the entire repo just to install the docker image. You create the compose file (and the variables file if that’s how you roll) and docker handles the rest. For someone who is already admitting their unfamiliarity with things, the whole idea of getting comfortable with git just seems unnecessary and unhelpful in this context.

It’s fine, you don’t need to reply again. Just different outlooks, I guess.

No, I get that the repo isn’t, but all you need to spin up the container is the compose file, right? I’m just trying to understand, not argue. I’m not completely comfortable with git, and just about “good enough” with Docker. So if I’m missing something, I’d like to learn.

Just curious, but why bother cloning the repo just to copy out the text of one file? For compose files I usually just copy & paste, then edit what I need.

If you aren’t a big consumer of shows and movies, just use the free services if they fill the need for you. Personally, I’ve purchased hundreds of movies and TV shows on disc and digitally over the years. Jellyfin lets me put them all in one place for my whole family to access. No need to try to remember what service it’s on or where the disc is.

Okay, looking at that accessibility tool with the hex you provided (nice on the anti-Meta rationale), I think what makes it difficult is that white border around the text. It’s adding a low contrast border to what would otherwise be high contrast black-on-orange.

See what I mean?

I apologize if my comment came across as overly critical or unhelpful. All I meant by it is that to my eyes, the brightness of the orange with the white border around the text is a harsh combo. It would be more comfortable with a darker background that contasts more with the white.

See, you did more research than me, so maybe I’m totally wrong.

It’s a good job, I 100% support the graphic and idea behind it and I learned about a couple new services too. Don’t let any of us get you down. You’re DOING something and you should feel good about that.

If you’re going for readability / accessibility, that bright orange background is probably not the way to go. And I can’t imagine it was helping your migraine.

Like others, I run both. Jellyfin for music was alright, but I didn’t love how it handled some metadata and my collection now is around 28,000 songs (without bootlegs) and I wanted something dedicated to music.

Absolutely love Navidrome. When I’m at my PC, I’ll open it, hit the “Random” option under Albums and select something from the first page. This way I’m always surfacing things I would normally ignore and engaging more with my collection.

Then, again as others have mentioned, I have Symfonium on Android. There’s a “Track Mix” option that shuffles your entire library, or you can create dynamic playlists. The one I use gives me 50 random tracks, but filters out classical and tracks shorter than 45 seconds. Same idea though, listening to parts of my collection that would never be my first choice.

For what it’s worth, I just updated today and there’s a “Plain” post style now that goes toward making the padding issue better.

I don’t use For You, so I don’t miss it. I guess. But I do agree on the other points. There is way too much padding on the sides. And while I think it makes some logical sense, the parent post thing confuses the shit out of me because it seems opposite the way every other app handles it.
