Jellyfin handles DLNA (over local network) perfectly well, which I'm not sure if Navidrome is even capable of. Being able to use home server to stream music to my network streamer is a godsend.
Noticed you have two separate libraries for kids, and adult TV and movies. I know everybody likes to do things differently but incase you didn't know jellyfin has a parental controls option to hide media with certain ratings, tags, etc
You are correct about the parental controls. Here's why I prefer the seperate libraries. Some kids TV shows are not rated properly on automatically. I've put stuff on the shared library to find out later my kids could not see it was there because it was rated PG. Another case was because it was unrated, which I could not change parental control settings because some adult movies are also unrated. So by having their shows/movies in a seperate library I have better control of exactly what shows up and can ensure they can actualy watch what I've put on their for them. Secondly, having a bunch of kids cartoons in my library meant I was skipping past their shows looking for something for my wife and I to watch. Having my library seperate from their's makes it cleaner with less effort.
I also make a seperate loggin for music. I tried other streaming servers, but like Jellyfin for my music too. However, when I search for a movie, I was getting a bunch of music in the results, even though it was in a seperate library. By moving music library to another login, if I'm logged into my main profile, I do not see music. If I login to the music profile, its all there.
if you go with the single library approach and use tags to hide stuff, be aware that Jellyfin's auto generated thumbnails will still potentially be drawn from hidden content. gotta love a gory thumbnail for TV shows when logged in as the "kids" user. yeah not ideal. separate libraries seems better
If we check the changelog there have been TONS of music related Jellyfin improvements. Looking forward to what they do in the future. :) github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/releases
I been using Jellyfin app on my phone to stream music videos from my server while I'm on the road. Works great as long as I have a internet connection. It also helps to convert the media to AV1. I don't watch to video while driving but if I like a song that is the preferd way I archive my music and I can create a playlist.
To my own surprise, I had never heard of Jellyfin before this video and for that thanks. Nevertheless, it's a heartbreaking reminder that I still have a broken Drobo with 10+ years' worth of data on it including my Plex movies and music. So, moving forward may be I will try this. Again, thanks and God bless,
I have tried using jellyfin as my music server but on phone it's really buggy if the screen turns off it stutters, it doesn't skip to the next song automatically, and a lot of people on the subreddit have mentioned that, I love jellyfin but I don't think it's great with music
I recently moved from Plex to Jellyfin. However because Jellyfin does not support Sonos I moved my music to Navidrome. Because it uses the Subsonic api I have a lot more choices in apps. Therefore I can use bonob to bridge Navibrome and Sonos and have have a large number of supperted music apps the choice from
How do you like Navidrome? My fav part of Plex in Plexamp. I buy used CDs, rip to FLAC, and stream to my iPhone from anywhere. The best part is how easy it is to stream off my NAS. Navidrome looks cool and I will have to spin it up.
I wouldn’t say it’s better.. it still has the weird playlist thing that it mixes music, movies, tv shows (if you have plays list of those) It doesn’t have a good and easy way to handle queue and so on They said they are trying to polish the movies/TV part and then (I guess on version 10.9?) they start polishing music.. and finally they will fix the comics/manga/books category
Great video.. Would love to see a video on how to integrate Jellyfin with Amazon Alexa. I have seen a few skills in development but very little on how to get them working properly.
Hi there! I know this video is a year old but I was wondering how Jellyfin handled large music libraries compared to Navidrome? I have about 960gb that I'm backing up and moving to my home sever, and I've read from folks online that Navidrome is much better with larger libraries than others.
None of the Jelly Fin videos show how an android phone connects to the server. In the dashboard, the WAN address is not shown, watched a lot of videos on jellyfin installation but no one addresses this issue
In both 'stream your music' videos there was mention of having to fix your library. Does this mean there is a Picard video on the way? I have to go through my collection and retag a bunch of stuff, in particular a lot of my music files do not have the Album Artist tag filled in so they do not get displayed when viewing the collection by Album Artist and when viewing the collection by Artist there is a lot of extra scrolling because of the tracks with guest artists getting their own grouping. I don't know how consistently the Album Artist tag is included in the MusicBrainz database, but I don't think it is that hard to add additional tags manually when doing the album lookup, it's been a while since I have used Picard. Also do these streaming solutions able to factor in the replaygain tags. I would assume the volume adjustments would have to be done on the streaming server.
Can you do another video about using a mobile app to control the audio playing on your media server? Also having JF installed on a laptop, but kept in sync with your media server?
Looks good. I saw a new onc recently which tells you everything you don't own my an artist, but it was down to the song level, vocal and production. Nice player though.
Is there a way to "Shuffle" play a folder of videos at random? I dont see a shuffle option, but I dont want to have to dig through music videos...I just want to play the folders contents at random
I'm currently using a Plex server with NVDEC acceleration for my video and music streaming, which has worked awesome so far. Are there any advantages Jellyfin has over plex or do they both achieve the same goal relatively similarly? Also GPU acceleration is very important to me as I have a lot of 4K blu-rays and multiple kids in the house, so that's a must.
I know this is an old comment, but in my experience running both Jellyfin and Plex, once it's set up, Jellyfin handles all of that a lot more flawlessly. I've had a couple odd niche issues with transcoding very specific stuff - H.264 10-bit comes to mind, since it's not an actual standard - but other than that, it's worked pretty flawlessly on everything I've tried. Audio transcoding has had some trouble for me but I'm not really concerned about that since even streaming something ridiculous like 24-bit 96kHz FLAC is pretty trivial bandwidth-wise compared to video. Some of the options work a bit differently than similar Plex options but once you get used to them, it's totally fine. Also, Jellyfin doesn't have any limitations (the software is entirely free, as in beer and as in freedom) and doesn't have weird ads and anti-features like Plex has been adding even to their paid memberships.
I downloaded this for my Windows 10 pc and set it p as a server and put all my media on it, all plays really well, when I installed the version on Android and connected to my laptop it won't play all formats plus some don't play sound. Anyone know why
Thank you thank you thank yo. I am trying to get away from plex and a decent music player was one of the things that I was going to miss about plexamp. I have looked into other media players for Jellyfin but have only just come across this one by chance. Very happy!
Plexamp was something I never cared about, but "forced" myself to try the app on my phone for a while and holy crap! I would buy plexpass for this feature alone. I am so sorry that I sound like a bot, I swear I'm not. (also plexamp on desktop is terrible and Most of the missing things are by design. Seriously shitty)
Literally this. I dual-ran Plex and Jellyfin just so I could have playlists sync between mobile and desktop easily(Couldn't seem to get any navidrome apps that let me sync because often times there'd be a mobile app, but not a desktop version - and I wanted a dedicate app/program on mobile and desktop, not a web browser) - While the plexamp desktop app could do that, it was absolutely awful, clearly designed for mobile and desktop just being an afterthought. Then I found FinAmp and fell in love, just went ahead and dismantled my Plex docker altogether now since everything I do revolves around Jelly now
I only agree with this because of discoverability. I really enjoy the radio function from spotify. It sort of automatically finds new music for me, even if it is not the best picks, it works for me most of the time
Jellyfin handles DLNA (over local network) perfectly well, which I'm not sure if Navidrome is even capable of. Being able to use home server to stream music to my network streamer is a godsend.
Did it have the option to seach specifically for song, album, artist?
Noticed you have two separate libraries for kids, and adult TV and movies. I know everybody likes to do things differently but incase you didn't know jellyfin has a parental controls option to hide media with certain ratings, tags, etc

Hi sir. U are cool and beautiful! have a great life
As are you, thank you!
Just started my own server, and your videos have been a really big help! Wanted to say thanks.
Can u pls make a tutorial to generate subtitles on the fly for Jellyfin based on video audio

I wish jellyfin used a native UI. The web-esque UI really kills me every time I use it.

@@Being_Joe i like it a lot. It just works 😁
TBH I wish Jellyfin had a visualizer option to provide better custom interface descriptions for artists or at least a way for you to make custom bios.
I wouldn’t say it’s better.. it still has the weird playlist thing that it mixes music, movies, tv shows (if you have plays list of those)
It doesn’t have a good and easy way to handle queue and so on
They said they are trying to polish the movies/TV part and then (I guess on version 10.9?) they start polishing music.. and finally they will fix the comics/manga/books category
Another tool to add to my HomeLab list
Thanks TechHut!
Going to try Jellyfin when I'm booting my NAS again.
Doubt the little Pi2 I have Navidrome running on can handle it.

Looks like the Jellyfin developers consider normalization to be a low priority, according to the comments on issue # 537
Can you do another video about using a mobile app to control the audio playing on your media server? Also having JF installed on a laptop, but kept in sync with your media server?
How is it to have both your movies and music in Jellyfin? Doesn't it get confusing having them in the same app?
Looks good. I saw a new onc recently which tells you everything you don't own my an artist, but it was down to the song level, vocal and production. Nice player though.
Flac files supported?
how bout lyrics?
soo... where do we download the songs as mp3 files? youtube to mp3 is very low quality.
Is there a way to "Shuffle" play a folder of videos at random? I dont see a shuffle option, but I dont want to have to dig through music videos...I just want to play the folders contents at random
I only get options of C & D drive. Doesn't show my music folders or anything else. Whats up?
I had too many problems with JL can't run everything and the delays loading some music is stupid. Airsonic is my goto.
It does not seem to support gap-less playback. Is there a setting for that?
is this free to use
or do buy that do not mind doing so

Hello, where can i download music with albums?
I really like Symfonium (android) for accessing my navidrome server(which I did use your very helpful video to get it setup up).
Thanks for the video. I need music to sort by genres, but the genre tab is blank.
How can I create a Music stream service where I can download and search music. From TH-cam or Spotify f.e.
does it stream hd sound?
I downloaded this for my Windows 10 pc and set it p as a server and put all my media on it, all plays really well, when I installed the version on Android and connected to my laptop it won't play all formats plus some don't play sound. Anyone know why
What's your opinion of Jellyfin vs Plex for music?
Can you access your music library at a folder level instead depending on the artist tagging?
Yuppp
Your taste of music is dope
I like how he went back and explained "Adults" folder xDDDDDDDD
I still dont get how to make a playlist.
Can u pls make a tutorial to generate subtitles for videos on the fly
Does it do gapless playback?
Maybe I am missing something, but how do you actually get the music? Pirating? TH-cam to mp3?
Maybe via the old way of buying the music. CDs and online stores like 7Digital, Qobus, HDTracks, heck even good old iTunes?
@@vista9434 I listen to too much artists that don't publish on such sites, also, I always have to keep adding new content manually which is annoying
@@krassebewegtbilder I tend to find smaller artists on Bandcamp but yeah some stuff is annoyingly on TH-cam
yeah jellyfin as a whole is mostly used with pirated content
What do you think of Volumio?
I wonder which can deliver the best audio quality between the two
How do I access jellyfin remotely
Thank you thank you thank yo. I am trying to get away from plex and a decent music player was one of the things that I was going to miss about plexamp. I have looked into other media players for Jellyfin but have only just come across this one by chance. Very happy!
Nice information, but what a taste on music.
That's a great idea!
This jelly for music app for android can't remember what you listen when you exit the app. That is epic fail
"Metadata" rhymes with "Better Data".
It does NOT rhyme with "Waitor Data".
There's British English, and there are mistakes.

I would love to see a tutorial for managing your music with playlists. For me it is absolutely not intuitive.

But there is no playlist capabilities...
