What do you all use for music vidoes? (alien.top)

I'm using Navidrome for my music, but what is the best way to host music videos? Just treat them as videos as stream through plex or similar app? Or is there a music player that supports music videos?

Is there an archive of all jag9war rips from VIVA and the likes?

[–] mpopgun@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Plex is the only solution I know of. There's some documentation out there where people have gotten fancy with their music videos in Plex and how it's organized.

I don't host music videos, but if I did I'd just put them on my Plex/Jellyfin server. Both services deliver video of any codec to any device reliably, which can't be said for all self-hosted apps. I also quite like both Navidrome and Plexamp and don't see a good reason to switch. If I had a huge music video library that needed organization by artist and genre, then maybe I'd try Ampache. It looks a bit basic, but does offer support for music videos alongside your main music library.

VLC lol, though I rarely actually play them.

I do download music videos I like though, they have a tendency to disappear.

Yeah I just have a Plex collection and rip things off youtube with "youtube-dl-material"

[–] verylittlegravitaas@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

YouTube premium is probs your best bet. Never heard of anyone publishing music videos.

Check out ytdl-sub for downloading and formatting music videos: https://github.com/jmbannon/ytdl-sub https://github.com/jmbannon/ytdl-sub/blob/master/examples/music_video_subscriptions.yaml

I get music videos from YouTube and host them on Plex. If you are looking to receive new content on the regular, you could leverage yt-dlp on a Linux machine to download new content from your favorite YT channels such as Vevo.
