Jellyfin The Free Software Media System.

Jellyfin is the volunteer-built media solution that puts you in control of your media. Stream to any device from your own server, with no strings attached. Your media, your server, your way.

I use this exclusively for music hosting because Plex.tv has more restrictions on client music playback. Plus, with a little shell magic -> iTunes playlist Sync

Phone Players

Gotta be honest, the native Jellyfin | F-Droid app is very lack luster. 🫰that this will improve in the future. Here is 2 alternatives

  1. Symfonium: It cost $5, and that's fine because it is very feature rich (Android Auto, auto sync, Offline downloads, etc).
  2. FinAmpIf you're looking for something light weight (and FOSS)

iTunes playlist Sync
