right now I'm trying a dedicated Jellyfin instance for audio only (bought the lifetime emby subscription before i learned about jellyfin, so video is elsewhere) but having trouble finding a good client that could run on the guts of an old autonomic MMS2A. That device has an analog and digital output, which with the normal OS treated as two separate sources. is that something anyone else has tinkered with? the original plan was to just run a kodi instance with the jellyfin addon, but im not sure if this has the horsepower to run kodi, and certainly not two at once! (4gb of ram max for this beast.

i need it to be remotely controllable, it'd be cool to have easy playlist management/backup that other devices could see, and potentially an android client if possible?

I've dabbled with the "____sonic" ecosystem back before i was really good at linux, and struggled a bunch, before giving up without anything real to show for it.

just curious if anyone else has been down this road successfully!

thanks for this community, my scrolling stops INSTANTLY when i see a post from here.

(oh my music server is a truenas SMB share, hosted in a proxmox vm! not opposed to putting a big SSD in this device if local music would make things easier)

My problem is that I cannot find a selfhosting solution that has the nuts to spool up 80k+ hi-res, original sourced, flac files that reside on two 10TB drives through my ancient technology. MusicBee is the closest thing I've come across, but that is local, and it struggles. I stay around the compound now days so local is ok, but it would be nice to stream out on the back porch without cranking my stereo to 11 so I can hear. I have bluetooth options but range is an issue.

if you can, don't be afraid to pull some wires! i come from a low-voltage background, and am getting ready to run some cabling for distributed audio.

found some old control4 gear that can be controlled directly from Home Assistant, no control4 processor required!

Hello fellow hass/mass user. Also, what sort of low voltage?

Fire/security alarms? Or access control? (Or both)?

I do both, as well as CCTV.

oh lawd i am glad to meet another out in the wild!

i was fortunate to start with residential alarm and A/V. due to a talent vacuum, leapfrogged to control system programmer/service, which allowed a few forks in the road (service manager, project manager and sales,) before bringing me back to my primary passion in this industry, AV programming and design.

but yeah I've installed my fair share of alarm panels, access control, thousands of camera systems.

but most of my shit has been fixing old rich people's wifi and kids/grandkids AV
