Hello,
I own a Denon AVC X3700H and I'd like to improve the way I listen to music on it.
I have a linux home server in another room that do multiple things, one of those things is being a NAS with a SMB share.
I tried looking at my options for streaming self hosted music.
I want something open source if possible, or buy once and 100% offline.
I also want to be able to have suggestions for new stuff. So I want Listenbrainz scrobble functionnality. I'll use the listenbrainz API to get new suggestions and add new playlists to the music server.
So as for the solutions :
Roon is just way too expensive.
Plexamp is still expensive and not really offline anyway.
I tried navidrome + symfonium as a client to cast to the denon through UPNP/DLNA => Navidrome doesn't do upnp transcoding and I have to use symfonium as a proxy UPNP, it eats battery and rely on the phone. Symfonium doesn't support openhome protocol thingy so I can't use a bubbleupnp server as a upnp proxy on the linux server.
Also symfonium is utterly strange when two people are using it and casting to the same device ... (not forcefully at the same time) I won't even try to explain it lmao, but I do have some funny videos of a phone saying X music is being played with Y music really being played.
I tried symfonium + jellyfin, there is no good jellyfin playlists integration and anyway same problem with two people and symfonium.
Jellyfin + finamp ... the client is really really bad....
So i've come to the conclusion that upnp/dlna is probably not the way to go about it. I guess I need a network player outputing sound directly to the Denon.
I've seen people using RPIs with specific distros. Are we okay that it's probably the best thing to do in my case ?
There is volumio : not really free and no "buy once" possibility.
Moode seems great...? But no listenbrainz scrobble, though I think we can hack it with listenbrainz-mpd (haven't tried). Are there any "smart" queue features or whatever ?
From what I understood it's a webUI and directly outputting sound like a PC, so this mean no weird conflict if two people use it.
I think there is also Pi Core Player that is similar.
Is a pi zero 2w enough for that ? How would it work if I buy a second sound setup for another room ? Another pi + moode, can they connect together and work as one UI ?
There are also apparently proprietary network players that come with their own app right ? I don't know what they are worth, if they need to be online and how do they compare to stuff like moode audio.
Any recommendations ?
