Hey folks,
I’m using since years subsonic to stream music to my mobile device. Subsonic and it’s known alternatives like Airsonic aren’t really mainained though and some existing bugs are frustrating. Can you recommend me a good alternative to stream my own music collection to my mobile device?
Navidrome uses the subsonic API but is actively developed and works great.
Ok so I just installed Navidrome and the web UI looks modern and promising. However it seems to have the same bug as other services I tried earlier: If the artist name or album name has any umlaut letters (like ä, ö, ü) then all tracks on that album are displayed twice on my mobile client (have tried substreamer, ultrasonic, tempus). Any idea what’s causing that for me?
I don’t have any solution for you, but I’m just adding some information to the conversation; I use Gonic as a server and Ultrasonic as a client and it does not have any issues displaying umlaut or any other special characters.
I use Navidrome with symfonium and they’re great
I use Feishin on desktop instead of the webapp. But otherwise - same setup!
