Well theoretically you could use it already, there are just some convenience features that are missing, like buttons for skipping a few seconds back and forth. The audiobook libraries also work a bit differently than music libraries, so I’m not sure how easy it would be to natively support them.
For now you could create albums or playlists for your audio books, and it should play just fine, and also save the progress :)

Discord is just easiest for us to maintain. The project is on GitHub though, and any important discussions are available there as well!

Awesome! F-Droid sadly doesn’t have proper support for beta versions. That’s also why it’s high time to release the new features onto stable. But I would like to avoid changing design too often, so I’m waiting until most things are ready.

Well they said that it should be much, much faster now, so even if it would restart it should be done within a few hours now :)

That’s one big hand…

I’ve gone the TrueNAS SCALE route myself, with TN running on bare metal. All my containers/apps are set up through it, and I’ve also spun up Windows and Linux VMs without major issues, including GPU and USB passthrough.

I do enjoy the security it gives me, will all my apps being versioned/snapshotted regularly and before every update, as well as the rest of my data. Since TN is only using ZFS and not something like MergerFS (which I believe is used by Unraid), the upgrade path is a bit mote restricted. So you should definitely look into your options up-front. For example, you won’t be able to expand a vdev (virtual ZFS disk) later on, you’ll have to create a new one. And you can only use equivalent vdevs to form pools. That means if you start with 3 drives in a vdev for your main storage pool, you can only expand that pool by adding anothet 3 drives with the same capacity as a secons vdev. So make sure you can stomach these costs, or go for fewer and cheaper drives, with a large case.

As for apps, you can set up docker apps easily, and there are a large number of officially or community-maintained apps, where any breaking changes and migrations are handled for you, so updating is a breeze. But you don’t have a much flexibility as with a custom setup. TN has been becoming more generic in that regard though, switching from k3s to regular docker, so you could probably play around with stuff via the CLI without major issues.

Oh and one more thing: you should probably use a separate, dedicated device for Home Assistant. Use a Raspberry Pi or one of their official boards, and you’ll have better support, more features, redundancy, and can still create backups on your NAS via SMB.
Such a second device that is also connected via Tailscale doesn’t hurt either, just in case.

It’s almost the same to Europe (13€), but this stayed the same for the new batch. Not sure why US shipping got more expensive, previously it was cheaper than shipping to Europe…

Yeah that seems to be why the EPL supports a bunch of sensors, it’s a tradeoff between different features for each sensor. Some do X/Y position tracking (default one). Some do fall detection. Some can measure heart rate. But seems like no sensor can do it all, at least not in that price range.

How much is shipping to the states?

Hmm, my goal with the app is to not require an external documentation, I’d like to make it straight-forward enough to use as it is.

The only thing we really need would be developer documentation, but I’m not sure if you can help with that, especially since you don’t know the codebase.

If you can think of something else to contribute, or if you want to add a basic GitHub wiki for the most common functionality and issues, I’m happy to discuss things further!

That’s great to hear! Just make sure you have all the lyrics set up in Jellyfin before you start the road trip, Finamp only fetches from the server and not from any other websites :)

There will probably come some changes to the lyrics interaction, I’m also not a fan of the current setup. Toggling between lyrics or the cover seems doable.

Customizations for the lyrics, like hiding the timestamp and centering, is definitely planned. Maybe I can even fit it into the next update!

And yes, I’m the current maintainer of Finamp, since the original creator is currently busy with uni. They’re still around though, and there also are some awesome contributors helping out with a ton of stuff!

If you have any other questions, feel free to reach out. I’ll try to reply in less than two days xD

Hey, is this still an issue in the beta? There are reports from others that have problems with their large playlists because it takes too long to queue them up, so I don’t think the shuffle is limited to a certain number of items.
Or are you talking about the round shuffle button on the songs/tracks tab?

Nice! And how do you like it? Anything that’s missing or not working for you? :)

So, have you tried it already? :D

It will have support before Jellyfin 10.9 is officially released. I’ll be working on that feature myself! :D

Thanks! :D

Interesting. Yeah Jellyfin’s inner workings are complicated and strange…

There is an open discussion on GitHub for people just like you ^^

But discord is just much less work to manage, and is a communications platform that I use all the time.
This is just the beta, it’s not like all of the development and discussionn is happening over discord now. But when I have time to develop and need some user feedback to ask about their problems or opinions, this is just much faster to iterate on.

In the end, we do this for free, and it takes up our time, so anything we can do to be more productive does help!

I mean as far as I know it is possible to browse the folders directly in Jellyfin, at least using the web app. There was an option for it in the settings I think. But implementing that for Finamp might be a bit harder, sorry
