It is an option under the filter menu but in my case it cannot be turned off. The slider is in the off position and I still only see my favorites

Feishin seems to be the best option for navidrome on windows and linux as far as I am aware but I have this really annoying bug that prevents me from seeing any tracks that I don’t have marked as favorites for some reason.

Obviously the only correct way to blink an LED is to use a hardware timer to trigger a DMA transfer which stores a bit in the pin toggle register at a set interval

One thing navidrome cannot do is to have different music available per user. A workaround for that is yo host multiple instances using docker and have them access different folders for music but that’s obviously not ideal.

I had an app development course in university and probably the most valuable tip our professor gave us was to limit the timeframe for search results to the last year

I haven’t used PDFDing before but honestly that description sounds a bit unituitive to me. I would expect to select the color first and then markt the text but maybe this is just because I haven’t seen the interface

I always try yt-dlp first with the website URL. If that doesn’t work I either try the URL shown in the network tab in the debug menu or try to find a video source URL by inspecting the video html container.

Once I’ve found a URL using one of those methods I again throw it at yt-dlp

I didn’t know about that tool. Thanks for sharing

I believe there are also the acronyms hass for homeassistant or HAOS for homeassistant OS.

On the Clara 2E and newer readers you don’t even have to interact with the database anymore. You can plug in the reader using USB and edit a config file to enable Sideload mode which will remove the login screen and default home page and instead deposit you straight into the library menu.

Huh, today I learned

On the topic of SMB. If OP is mostly interested in accessing the music from their phone, a symfonium + SMB server setup may be even easier than setting up navidrome

As much as I’d love to, it is still one of the best places to read up on recommendations for stuff, be it hardware opinions or obscure book recommendations. It is certainly a better place for tech reviews than most of the other sites you find using search engines which just do stuff like “This is the best on a budget. This is the best for that. This is the best overall. Here is where you can buy all of that.”

Those sites never feel like they do a genuine review of stuff but instead try to sell you something. Plus they feel like they are copy pasting from each other.

Oh my god yes.

Every fucking time I open reddit on my phone the entire website goes grey and they offer me to use the app… Unless the content is NSFW in which case they tell me I have to use the app.

Fortunately old reddit still works to get around that but it doesn’t have a mobile page layout

Not a valid option if you are looking specifically for lossless music

Oh it definetely is a bit hacky.

At one point I tried using home assistant to automatically turn my tv and stereo on or off depending on the state of the chromecast but that didn’t really work consistently unfortunately.

My solution is far from ideal but it works for me.

I have a Chromecast connected to my TV which outputs to my stereo system. Power to TV and stereo are controlled via smart plugs that I can quickly toggle when I want to stream music.

The good thing: It works.

The bad things:

• You have to connect navidrome to symfonium using the IP address and not a hostname when using a basic chromecast since that one has a hardcoded dns server. The Chromecast with google TV allows setting a dns server yourself but you loose software volume control through your phone.
• No volume control except directly on the stereo system. This wasn’t an issue with the basic chromecast but it is now with the better one…
• For some reason some songs crash the casting to the chromecast. Again this wasn’t an issue on the cheap Chromecast for some stupid reason

yt-dlp supports downloading playlists. By using the --archive option it can save all downloaded video ID’s into a text file and will only download videos which are not in that file.

I wrote a docker container with a friend that uses that mechanism to auto download new videos every time it is triggered using cron. The configuration is a bit rough though and there is no gui so if this supports that part as well I might switch.

I’m not sure about how this works in kodi but in jellyfin the client might request a different resolution which causes the server to try and reencode the provided file on the fly. In my case my server isn’t fast enough for this which leads to constant buffering

I believe it sometimes works based on when the book was published for some reason and that newer books may have a better DRM protection against this method
