I’m tired of being screwed over so I’m done. So far I have:
- Installed YouTube music and YouTube via Morphe
- Installed uBlock Origin, Sponsor Block and YouTube Enhanced on Firefox
- I’ve also installed YT-DLP to download videos if I have to.
Yet to do:
- Work out the best app for my Nvidia Shield Pro 2019
- Work out if there are any alternatives or way to still use my google nest minis in any way.
Does anyone have any advice or tools to help improve the experience?
Finally I have to add that I do also have a full ARR suite installed and setup on a raspberry pi for but I’ve always found Lidarr to be the weakest of the bunch. Works a treat for my TV shows and Music
navidrome, self-hosted is what I use. Personally, the less I have to contact google’s servers for the media I enjoy, the better.
Sorry I don’t have better advice, but alongside soulseek, lucida.to, and torrents, I have way more music than I think I’ll ever be able to listen to in my lifetime.
Very relevant comment, navidrome is amazing
Soulseek, start to collect and share your music collection in high-quality format (FLAC)
I couldn’t get Lidarr to work very well so I started using Soulseek. Highly recommend it!
Keep in mind, if your VPN only has one port you can forward, which is likely to be the case, you have to choose between Soulseek and your torrent client.
SmartTube for your nvidia shield. You’ll need ‘Downloader’ to get it. Also check out Project Ivy for the shield if you want a better UI
I recommend grayjay on your phone+fcast receiver on your tv.
