Hi!
I have a subsonic instance running but I rarely listen to Albums. Stuff I really like are DJ performances like by the channel The Moment.
So I thought: why not download and self-host them before Google makes Youtube sign-in only, (like Elon and Facebook did).
That stuff is probably quite hard to organize. But the type of music simply breaks the common services, like Jellyfin, or Subsonic.
I know of funkwhale. But I’d like to keep the contents private. I just wanna listen to music at work (so being open to the web is a plus). I thought funkwhale is a bit too… “social” for me. I’m a (re)uploader, not creator.
You got any ideas? Maybe a youtube-cloner with audio-only support? (I know how to download videos already)
Edit: Of course, I’d download the sets legally, e.g. from their patreon discord, or whatever. ;)
Also: I know that restricting it to my VPN would be ideal for security and legality reasons. But that’s a bit inconvenient. And I want to check my options.

mstream maybe? I use it from my job, and it is hosted from my house
Don’t know that one. Seems like a good lead. Thanks for showing me the way in the rabbit hole. ;)
Maybe navidrome too?
That’s what I meant uith “subsonic”, lol. Doesn’t this have the same catalogueing problem as jellyfin?
Jellyfin should be fine. Why do you say it breaks it?
Jellyfin catalogues songs on albums by artists. DJ sets are a different category of music track.
The DJ is the artist. Each set is an album with one track. What’s broken about that?
Hmm, never thought to do it that way. Maybe I’m a bit too attached to the classical “official album release” stuff.
DO NOT use funkwhale unless you want a headache.
mstream just uses folders, so you can organise however you want.
Apps for Android and iOS, webui for everything else. Does basic (single setting for whole server) transcoding if you wish (I don’t for mp3/m4a/ogg sets, I have them on a second server instance, mstream is very light)
