I’ve lost count of the number of times and number of formats in which i’ve consumed The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy and i’ve loved it every time.

The alarm went off so i turned it off.

I hope someone else knows a better way to do this because it would appear it is somewhat possible but not easy.

Subsonic servers, such as navidrome, offer the ability to “SyncPlayQueue” via api to specific players, but in the case of navidrome that does not included the web player or music assistant for home assistant (the later is an assumption as i was unable to find a setting to enable it).

For those who don’t care about home assistant they just need to find a player on the devices they want to transition music too and from that supports the feature.

For those who use home assistant and want to listen to music across devices you can transfer queue from within the music assistant player to a device added as a player or the app by picking “this device”. That only works if you’ve been playing music from your phone on a smart speaker, the music queue being played via web isn’t visible from the app and vice vera. It might be possible to set a web browser as a player to interact with but i imagine that would be a fragile setup at best.

Based on some older results i’ve found jellyfin isn’t set up to save play location in songs but if you ran the music folder as audio books it will. Not sure what that’ll do in regards to meta data but it’s only half the problem. I’d just as soon give up the time stamp memory if i could get playlist save state.

Credit where credit is do plexamp is the best option for what i want to achieve, I just hate having to authenticate through them and report the activity occurring between internal addresses.

I opened my server via web browser and started playing music and when i opened the app on my phone it didn’t show anything as playing. Either there’s a plugin i need to install, a setting i need to change, or it’s not an option with jellyfin.

So I understand this correctly, you’re using Fossify Calendar as the phone app that accesses your self-hosted calendar?

That’s a shame, i was holding high hopes for it. Good to know i should adjust my expectations when the time comes.

Never used the site myself as i’m still “plugged in” but i’ve kept this in my pocket for if i ever cut ties with music streaming. If you try it report back with your thoughts?
