I guess this isn’t what you want to hear… but like others here I’d recommend you organise and tag your music properly. Then software like Jellyfin or Navidrome should work properly.
I use MusicBrainz Picard and have seen people recommend https://beets.io/, which I still haven’t looked into.
+1 for Finamp beta. It is great and under active development.
You can get the latest version here: https://github.com/jmshrv/finamp/releases/tag/0.9.11-beta
Mmmm, did you try the latest beta or the stable version?
The stable version is quite outdated and download doesn’t work great there. With the beta version (0.9.11) I’m able to download full albums, full artists or individual songs. I’m very happy with it. I’d recommend you give it another a try if you have time.
If you’re interested in an alternative to Gelli, check Finamp (https://github.com/jmshrv/finamp): it is a Jellyfin client for Android that can also download music to play offline. Try the latest beta version, it is way ahead the stable version and works perfectly for me as a daily driver.
Glad that I could help. If you need help with setting the custom DNS or choosing which domains to block feel free to ask me here.
The app has not been updated in long time, but the database is still updating daily for me, and the app still works on Android 14. Can’t tell it will continue working in the future…
I’m not the person you replied to, but I think my experience could be relevant.
I have a MiBox TV S 4K, which as far as I know runs pretty pure AndroidTV (but I might be wrong). This is still going to try to connect to Google and Xiaomi servers for tracking and ads… but I have set up a custom DNS blocking trackers and ads.
I found this Reddit post and followed the instructions to change the DNS server on the MiBox to NextDNS, where I could later activate relevant blocklists (SmartTV, Xiaomi, Google). I also perform monitoring of the domains the MiBox connects to and have blocked a couple manually.
Finally, for AndroidTV forget about NewPipe and use SmartTube. It’s the same idea, but optimised for the AndroidTV experience where you have a remote and not a touchscreen.
I feel like I have to tell you about the fabulous, most groovy… Bellbottoms (by The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion).
Unfortunately it’s just less than 2 minutes on the intro of one song. I wish they had done some more like it, because it’s a great combination in my opinion.
May I recommend OSS Document Scanner + Syncthing? Both apps are FOSS and it looks to me like that they might be able to replace what Microsoft Lens does for you with the advantage that you are free of Microsoft software.
Open Tracks allows exporting in either KMZ (default), KML or GPX format. Go to Settings, tap on “Import and Export” and there look, towards the end, for the entry “Export/sharing file format”.
MP3Tag sounds cool, but there’s no Linux version it seems :(
I would add iodéOS to the Operating Systems, and Helium314’s fork of OpenBoard to the keyboards.
Year One. I can’t stand Jack Black nor Michael Cera after wasting 90 minutes of my life watching that trash.
Simple games don’t need internet access. Can’t you block network connection for that app?
A better option even is getting something like what BurnedOliveTree@lemmy.world suggested, or this other one https://f-droid.org/packages/org.moire.opensudoku/ or this other one https://f-droid.org/packages/org.secuso.privacyfriendlysudoku/
And a second point here: how much of the remaining 33,59% belongs to Chromium-based browsers? Those still contribute to Google’s monopoly over the web, so the final numbers are even worse.
Thank you, it gets complicated as you dive deeper. Am I right when I think that Chromium, although Open Source, is mainly developed by Google and therefore follows Google’s agenda?
Thank you, I used to know the rendering engines fairly well a few years ago, but I’m out of the loop now.
What about WebView? It’s the rendering engine used in Android, closely related to Blink I assume.
Yes! I failed to dive deeper, but you expressed it well. They have already planned to remove the option to have ad-blockers in Chrome… what will come next?
Because it’s the only browser not based on Google’s Chromium rendering engine (Webview, WebKit? whatever). Using any other browser supports Google’s monopoly over how we browse the internet and what we are allowed to see. No, fuck Google.
Edit: spelling
Good to know. Thanks. I have my music in my server, which runs Jellyfin and Navidrome on Docker…
Would it make sense to install it on Docker too or would it be OK install it on my computer and then have it check the music oh my server over NFS?
