  • Not sure if this fits your need, but if you just want to own the files, maybe try playing locally?

    I don’t have an unlimited data plan, so I use “Gelli” which can download from Jellyfin and play them offline. However, it’s buggy and haven’t been updated in a while, so I’m planning on ditching that, and switch to locally storing the music files.

    I found an Android music player named “Symphony”. It reads directories as album, as well as metadata. Importantly, it also saves the queue for me. I have a self-hosted Nextcloud so I can sync music to my phone. Symphony would read them from the directory.


  • Global hotkey is only used for playing the sounds and nothing else, and that is basically just running a command.

    This will play all files that has an audio stream (cls is also using this command):
    ffmpeg -i <file> -f s16le - | pacat -d <sink> --channels=<1 for mono, 2 for stereo> --rate=<sample rate> --volume=<0-65535, 65535 = 100%>

    I guess it is pretty complicated so maybe I’ll add a way to play files.
