Hey all, I built a tool to generate custom Netflix-style "tadum" intro videos for your media server. It's called StreamRoll: https://streamroll.vercel.app

Type your server name, pick a style, hit generate. About 30 seconds later you get a 1080p .mp4 you can drop into your Intros folder. A few things:

• 40+ style presets (Prestige, Cinematic, Retro, Futuristic, Minimal, Horror, Anime, Epic, Nature)
• You can upload your own logo instead of generating one
• 6 video models to choose from, including Veo 3.1 which has audio
• Jellyfin install instructions built right into the app (also covers Plex and Emby)

Free and open source (MIT). You bring your own Runway API key, free tier covers several generations, and after that, it's about $0.30 per video. Key stays in your browser, nothing hits my server.

Would love feedback, and if anyone makes a cool one, please share!

If you've been looking for a music client that doesn't look like a file explorer, you might want to check out Musly.

I've focused heavily on the UX and UI, taking heavy inspiration from the Apple Music layout. The goal was to create a seamless transition for anyone moving away from big streaming platforms to a self-hosted setup.

Current Features:

• Full Jellyfin/Emby/Subsonic integration.
• Smooth animations and clean typography.
• Desktop & Mobile support (one codebase, zero compromises).
• Open Source.

I'm currently looking for feedback to make the UI even more "native" and fluid.

Hi I seeking help on step by step of how to do posters like these. I have a few that I can find. And would like to make my own. I have tried different ways but always wrong. Hello would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

ChartHound has been running on my own Emby/NAS server for months. I finally cleaned it up enough to share publicly.

**The music workflow with Emby:**

1. **The Retriever** connects to your Emby server, scans your music library, and writes genre + mood tags directly to your physical files using MusicBrainz, Last.fm, Discogs, and others. Tags go to the actual files — not just Emby's database — so they survive any server migration.

2. **The Groomer** cross-references your library against 108,000+ real Billboard chart entries and writes chart performance data into your COMMENT tags (e.g. "Hot 100: #4 (12 wks)"). Then builds smart playlists filtered by genre, decade, peak position, and weeks on chart — and pushes them straight to Emby.

3. **The Sniffer** uses your Emby library to cross-reference which chart hits you own vs. which ones you're missing. One click to search Prowlarr and grab the missing albums.

4. **The Bloodhound** lets you browse any artist's full MusicBrainz discography, see what you own vs. missing, and grab missing albums directly.

**Security:** Your Emby token and all other API keys are Fernet-encrypted (AES-128-CBC) before being stored in SQLite. They are never returned to the browser in plain text — decrypted in memory only when needed, server-side.

**Stack:** Python (FastAPI) + SQLite + Docker. No Node.js. Runs on port 8585. Also works with Plex and Jellyfin if you run those.

**GitHub:** https://github.com/CurtisColby/ChartHound

Built this for my own server.

Hi all,
with this post I want to talk again of AudioMuse-AI, a free and open source selfhostable software to analyze your song and automatically create playlist on your supported music server like Jellyfin, Navidrome (or open subsonic api based), Emby and Lyrion:

• https://github.com/NeptuneHub/AudioMuse-AI

With this post I want to celebrate two big things, first of all AudioMuse-Ai born on May 2025, so it's stil live and fully mantained after 1 years, 217 issue closed and 182 PR closed !

We also want to celebrate the new AudioMuse-AI v1.1.0 release that introduce Lyrics Semanthics similarity throug different functionality.

I'm very proud of this release because multiple time we heard that yes the mood is similar but totally different lyrics, now you can search your song also semathically with:

• Axis-based search: Explore songs across 5 defined semantic axes, selecting one or more values that best describe the target mood or meaning.
• Text search: Simple natural language queries (e.g., “love”, “run”) focused on lyrical meaning, not musical groove (distinct from DCLAP search).
• Song similarity search: Use a reference track to find similar songs, weighted by default as 75% lyrical meaning and 25% audio similarity to preserve genre consistency.

Lyrics functionality off course need lyrics, the best way is to have already them in your music server OR configure in AudioMuse-AI your favourite API in the setup wizard:

Example API formats supported in Setup Wizard:

https://api.example.com/get?artist={artist}&title={title}
https://api.example.com/v1/{artist}/{title}

Anyway as a fallback is also supported the transcription with Whisper Small and if needed can be disabled in the setup wizard by setting LYRICS_ENABLED=true

Important: after the update a new analysis will do the Lyrics analysis on the already analyzed song (if enabled, enabled by default) or a full analysis (Musicnn + Clap + Lyrics) for new song. This new analysis is mandatory to use the new functionality.

I hope you will like both of this milestone and as usual, if you want to support AudioMuse-AI, please add a start on the github repository.
Thanks to be with us for our first year!
