  • I currently use AntennaPod with NextCloud’s version of GPodderSync; which is…adequate.

    My ultimate solution would be one where a self-hosted app that tracks and download my podcasts, and then proxy them with some sync mechanism to an android app, but keep them as separate shows with artwork and stuff rather than consolidate them into one feed. I could then choose to listen on the self-hosted web interface or the Android app, and they would be kept in sync.



  • I maintain a Jellyfin instance for audio that points at the same music library as my Navidrome instance does just so I can use the Jellyfin client for Android TV. I would absolutely LOVE to have a subsonic-compatible Android-TV-focused app, so I could finally single-source my music. It’s just not friendly to guests to have them have to log in somewhere using their own device to my music server and then have to cast to my main entertainment system at home, when Android TV is just sitting there, acting as nothing more than an old-school Chromecast.

    So, don’t get me wrong, Jellyfin is THE BEST video server software FOSS or not, IMO :)




  • If using open source projects and sharing my experience by helping others on forums and logging detailed bugs when I find them counts as contribution, then everyday.

    I’m a software dev myself, but I have enough on my plate with my day job and two kids that have to be taken to all manner of activities. I don’t know how all these people find the time to work on free software, probably for little to no compensation, but my hat is off to all of you, wherever you are.
