I was hoping to go all in with Jellyfin, but it's been absolutely maddening to try to get it to play nice with my curated library. It just makes too many dumb assumptions about artist metadata.

Any other suggestions?

EDIT: I installed Navidrome, then poured over the documentation for the config file and micromanaged every setting. This has allowed me to get damn near close to the exact unobtrusive behavior I had hoped for.

EDIT 2: AFA mobile client goes, I'd absolutely consider paying for Symphonium, if it didn't seem to require my having a Google Play account (fuck that). So instead I'm trying Tempo.

Careful curation of mp3 tags and a short leash.

My Plex and Jellyfin libraries are the same files and they are both handled identically because I don't let them think about the files.

I used a tool to export my Plex playlists as XML, then wrote a little python to convert them into M3U, jellyfin recognizes the M3 use and just makes playlists.

@wesker@lemmy.sdf.org if it helps, the Symfonium dev is open to de-googled licensing via Ko-Fi donations. See the forum post here: https://support.symfonium.app/t/how-can-i-pay-for-symfonium-without-google-play

Per Tolriq's responses there, you can get the APK safely from the Aurora Store.

Mstream - it's the lightest and simplest of streaming servers.

LMS is also pretty damn light as well. Uses about 19 MB of RAM on my system on idle.

Gonic works very well with symfonium

I'm using airsonic with symfonium, gotta check Gonic (it's been mentioned twice in the comments)
