A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

Im betting lunch they are losing market to jellyfin and the free finamp.

Plexamp has been kinda stagnant for a while and can be finicky on lossy connections (ie: cell service)

finamp is missing enough features to me to make plexamp worth paying for to me (not automatically switching to transcoding on mobile data, not supporting opus transcodes)

And they still lock downloads behind plex pass so guess my jellyfin server isn’t going anywhere

Ive been increasingly considering Jellyfin. I really only use plex for OTA tv/libraries on roku's 99% of the time

Rarely do I use mobile or others. But plexamp is like 99% mobile too.

I’ve only tried it with music and iptv channels, both of which work well and free dvr is a large plus

Another shitty thing about Plexamp is there is no easy way to download your entire library in a converted format and auto download any new additions.

The developer said that "this is not the intended use of Plexamp", but the reasoning is flawed IMO

[–] freeman@lemmy.pub 2 points 1 year ago

That’s probably my biggest complain tbh.

My entire library can fit on my phone. No reason to stream. If my home internet has problems I can’t listen to music? Or if I’m out in the sticks (often enough) I suddenly find out what’s actually cached/downloaded and what isn’t solely because it’ll skip entire albums or just fail to start songs etc.
