 K900 | Playing music from a computer? | 19:19:42 |
 continous | I guess I'm just confused as to what this would do over just...a media player? I don't see the application I guess. | 19:29:33 |
 @adam:robins.wtf | what's "just...a media player" ? | 19:30:35 |
| continous | MPV, VLC, etc. | 19:31:08 |
| @adam:robins.wtf | they'd need access to the files | 19:31:18 |

I guess I'm just confused as to what this would do over just...a media player? I don't see the application I guess. The purpose of music-assistant is to have one big shared library | 19:32:05 |
| K900 | It doesn't have to be on the same computer | 19:32:11 |
| continous | Ok, so this just provides access to the stream a la DLNA? | 19:32:08 |
| continous | Maybe I just don't see why you'd want it in Home-assistant. | 19:32:33 |
| K900 | It's not in home-assistant | 19:32:50 |
| K900 | It's in music-assistant | 19:32:54 |
| @adam:robins.wtf | music-assistant is a standalone program | 19:32:55 |
| K900 | Which is a separate thing | 19:33:01 |
| continous | Oh I'm silly. | 19:33:03 |
| continous | I'll look into it then, Jelly-fin is kind of garbage with music. | 19:33:27 |

| K900 | It's not great IMO | 19:34:23 |
| K900 | The major selling point is the HA integration | 19:34:32 |
| K900 | But I don't have any speakers that are controllable through HA so it's just kinda whatever | 19:34:48 |
| continous | Darn, there's really no great options it seems. | 19:35:55 |
| continous | It seems very middle-man-ey | 19:36:29 |
| @adam:robins.wtf | when i tried it a while back I didn't find it an improvement over my existing slimserver setup | 19:48:50 |
| @adam:robins.wtf | i mean not-perl is a positive i guess, but i already paid that cost and it's quite stable/reliable :) | 19:49:21 |
| K900 | ...I just use Spotify | 19:52:14 |
| continous | There are quite a few more obscure tracks I'd like ready access to that no one really carried. Maybe Youtube music? 🤮 | 20:04:41 |
 @hexa:lossy.network | I'm personally stuck with navidrome for its subsonic API | 21:46:36 |
| @hexa:lossy.network | I want to be able to stream from my phone | 21:47:11 |
| @hexa:lossy.network | * I want to be able to stream the collection from my phone | 21:47:23 |
