  • Not OP, but having files and folder structures accessible in the OS helps with a lot of tasks and interoperability.

    If I want to add media files to Jellyfin, etc, I can’t just drop them into the video folder remotely because I have it mapped to a particular folder on the drive. If I want to make a copy of a large folder, I first have to mount the cloud as a “remote” drive, then do the operation from there.

    It’s much easier to access files and folders outside of a database if they are needed for anything outside of the cloud service. I know that there may also be some security and efficiency factors that make a database favorable, but in terms of ease of use, it is just more effort to use a fileserver that operates through a database.

    LMS - Lightweight Music Server

    LMS is a self-hosted music streaming software: access your music collection from anywhere using a web interface!

    I also found this: https://codeberg.org/thororen/Feishin

    Feishin

    Rewrite of Sonixd.

    Features:

    • MPV player backend
    • Web player backend
    • Modern UI
    • Scrobble playback to your server
    • Smart playlist editor (Navidrome)
    • Synchronized and unsynchronized lyrics support

    Some elements of these are on github and I can’t attest to either. Neither has recent updates, but should function. Web interfaces and API support should mean that you have some mobile options. Like others, I object to your reasoning, but this is a community to help one another, so your reasoning for your goals doesn’t really matter to me.

    I don’t think that you are likely to find any software that meets all of your requirements, but I hope this helps.
