uhh whats a good tui mpd client with vi binds

@coolbean if youre the one arguing against Le Unixoid Way i will trust you no questions asked

[callie@social.besties.house]

@coolbean @fiore its been years but i do Not remember it being this way, im probably misremembering that though, crazy i put up with that for Years then i cant believe that

[coolbean@brain.worm.pink]

@callie @fiore i at least remember this being a massive pain while editing metadata

[coolbean@brain.worm.pink]

@callie @fiore but at the very least it was consistently more fiddly and annoying than just using a regular music player program

[coolbean@brain.worm.pink]

@callie @fiore frankly i dont even grasp why a music player should be a daemon in the first place

[fiore@brain.worm.pink]

@coolbean @callie@besties.house idk what mpd does . what im looking for is smth that i can run on my server , supports many different clients connecting at once , and is simple

[coolbean@brain.worm.pink]

@fiore @callie then maybe mpd could be the solution but im not certain, i couldnt get it to play on more than one client at a time i think

[coolbean@brain.worm.pink]

@fiore @callie but also... i mean you can just throw your music library into an sshfs and open that in moc

[coolbean@brain.worm.pink]

@callie @fiore i wish cmus stored stuff like playlists in place as files like moc does

[fiore@brain.worm.pink]

@coolbean @callie@besties.house i guess just having the music library served over sftp and pointing regular clients to it thru sshfs could work

[fiore@brain.worm.pink]

@coolbean @callie@besties.house yea ok beat me to it

[fiore@brain.worm.pink]

@coolbean @callie@besties.house it doesnt ? ive never used cmus playlist tbh

[fiore@brain.worm.pink]

@coolbean @callie@besties.house but whatever like . mpv does the job too . who cares

[r0se@eepy.moe]

@fiore@brain.worm.pink @coolbean@brain.worm.pink @callie@social.besties.house the memes absolutely ruined mpd because that very much is not what mpd is for
I use mpd, and it's not janky at all, because I play media on the server and remote control it from clients, that's what mpd is made for, not as a multi client music client
unixoids are fucking stupid man

[coolbean@brain.worm.pink]

@fiore @callie i dont think it does

[fiore@brain.worm.pink]

@r0se@eepy.moe @callie@besties.house @coolbean wait idont understand what u do w it then exactly . like . the media is played on the server , and not on the client ??

[coolbean@brain.worm.pink]

@fiore @callie definitely not in place probably somewhere like xdg data home

[r0se@eepy.moe]

@fiore@brain.worm.pink @callie@social.besties.house @coolbean@brain.worm.pink though enough ranting
I use jellyfin for what you described, it works well and allows downloading pretty easily

[r0se@eepy.moe]

@fiore@brain.worm.pink @callie@social.besties.house @coolbean@brain.worm.pink yes, that's how it's supposed to be
it's the music player daemon, not the music server daemon

[fiore@brain.worm.pink]

@r0se@eepy.moe @callie@besties.house @coolbean ughhh jellyfin is messy to host tho i feel like i would loathe it
