saving albums from Android newpipe to Jellyfin server (sh.itjust.works)

Hi, what's your setup?

I often listen to music through youtube on my phone connected to a bluetooth speaker. I use Newpipe, works very well. Then when I want to save a song or an album, there's the option for downloading (in newpipe itself) or on android for example Seal (works really well for downloading entire playlists and unselecting some sponsored video's from the playlist).

The hassle is uploading from the phone to my jellyfin. I've used File Browser, bit limited in options.

Then I thought I could use Syncthing to have some folder from my Android phone upload it automatically to my Jellyfin server (pc running dietpi), but it seems Syncthing is now discontinued on Android?

What I was first looking for was my own hosted yt-dlp with a mobile friendly UI, but that seemed quite difficult to get running.

There is the syncthing-fork that as far as I know is continuing, with the added bonus that it supports a 1-way sync by ignoring deletes on the phone side, so you don't have to store your whole music collection on your phone if you don't want to.

I see. It looks a bit more 'sketchy' than the original syncthing did tho. Is it trustworthy?

I indeed do not want to store it all on the phone. It's more like a temporary folder on the phone, just to upload it to the jellyfin

I do something similar and use syncthing to sync a folders on my phone to my server, I then use beets to manage my library (helps pull correct metadata) and jellyfin is just pointed to that folder. There's a fork of the syncthing app on fdroid: https://f-droid.org/packages/com.github.catfriend1.syncthingandroid/

for uploading, absolutely use syncthing. you can set it up so that it works in only one direction, i.e. phone to server, so any file that appears on the phone's download folder gets sent to the server. the one you want is syncthing-fork on fdroid.

as to listening to the music via youtube check out innertune, also on fdroid.

Is plugging it in an option? USB?

[–] freebee@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

No, i'ld like to be able to do it on the go, while on the train for example

Edit: if plugging in is the option, i can just use remote desktop, sftp, etc, no problem at all. Specifically looking for best way to send from phone to server while server not physically accessible.

If your phone is android (I think so) and your jellyfin server has a file share (easy to implement anyway) you can use material files (https://f-droid.org/packages/me.zhanghai.android.files/). It has an option to connect via smb.
