#22I dabbled with a number of music streaming servers, including Ampache and Subsonic (and it's many forks), and had trouble with either web interface loading times or app connectivity and couldn't find one that worked 'as advertised'. In one of these similar music streaming discussion threads, HN member epoupon mentioned the system they'd authored: LMS[0] (Lightweight Music Server), which I found ticked all the boxes a…
Navidrome [2] is another relatively new option for music streaming servers. Lightweight, written in Go, can handle very large music collections, and is compatible with Subsonic/Madsonic/Airsonic. [2] https://github.com/navidrome/navidrome
The UI is pretty good by modern standards, the existing features work very well, it is very stable IMHO (at least with my 9300+ songs), it is very easy to install.
I have tried 'em all and I'm sticking with Navidrome!
Edit: I forgot, it's fast on a Raspberry Pi 3B, which some aren't.

#23I'm pretty unhappy with the lack of support for audio books in any of these streaming players. Does anyone know a free and open source product, that does support audio books best case m4b files?

I just load my audiobooks collection onto nextcloud and when I want to listen to an audiobook I share the file with PocketCasts which has full m4b support with chapters and covers and has excellent audio support to speed up the playback and skip silence (can get through a 8 hour audiobook in about 5-6 hours

I know a few Jane's and they're pretty discerning types, so if Jane has been happy then I'd say you're onto a good thing.
Stupid autocorrect jokes aside, I use Jellyfin for exclusively legitimate in-home movies and tv series and haven't yet tried it out for music. For whatever reason, I feel like I want to keep them separated.

#27This is a little weird, But I can't seem to access their site when using Microsoft Edge (I know a poor choice of a browser, but everything's chromium anyway). I get a ERR_CONNECTION_RESET. I tried playing around with disabling tracking protection, trying incognito, disabling my extensions. And it did work one time, but then instantly stopped working on a refresh. The site works wonderfully in firefox. I tried doing the same query in curl so it doesn't seem User Agent related either. Didn't try any other chromium based browsers. Does anyone have a similar issue or it's only me.
EDIT: Okay I did some further digging, and guess what disabling "Microsoft Defender SmartScreen" Unblocked the site. The effect wasn't instant (So I thought it wasn't the one that effected it). Has Windows Defender just become a bundled censorship tool?

#28Earlier quoted context omitted.
Installation instructions vary based on your web server. Please see https://github.com/ampache/ampache/wiki/Installation
I wish there was a docker compose file
there's a compose file in the docker repo https://github.com/ampache/ampache-docker

#29Just an FYI to everyone that Ampache 5 is around the corner with:
* A new API revision (and multiple incoming clients)
* Subsonic support has been improved immensely (we are the official demo server for Ultrasonic)
* Load times have been significantly cut for the web interface due to database and code updates
* docker images are updated regularly now and provide a lot of options including compose files.
(Just some things I've noted from the comments.)
