Sorta, I use both Navidrome and Jellyfin. I use navidrome primarily for music listening, but then point jellyfin at the same library so that I can play music on the TV easily.
With Navidrome I use feishin as my client on desktop, and I use tempo on one of my android smart phones, ultrasonic on my daily driver flip-phone (cat S22 flip), and my partner has used amperfy and subsonic on their iphone–haven’t really been happy with any of the clients for iphone.
Navidrome built in webserver also works pretty ok for using at work etc.
Feishin is really nice for being able to set up dynamic “smart” playlists with a gui.
I find that using something more dedicated to music like Navidrome is a little more feature built. Plus there are so many *sonic clients–so it just feels more flexible.
Thanks for the info. Kind of confirms there are better ways about this that I should look into. But also confirms that it works well enough because sometimes I just want to play music on my TV as I do house chores.
exactly, and jellyfin truly did just work…
i procrastinated a long time on setting up navidrome, but it has also mostly just worked.
it’s been nice that they can both point at the same nfs share. navidrome very explicitly operates in a readonly fashion.

If you use Tempo you might want to look into Tempus: a new fork of Tempo receiving updates. Tempo hasn’t received updates for almost a year.
thanks for the suggestion! I did notice tempo hadn’t gotten updates in a while… I will switch it out for tempus!
