I'm tired of being screwed over so I'm done. So far I have:

  • Installed YouTube music and YouTube via Morphe
  • Installed uBlock Origin, Sponsor Block and YouTube Enhanced on Firefox
  • I've also installed YT-DLP to download videos if I have to.

Yet to do:

  • Work out the best app for my Nvidia Shield Pro 2019
  • Work out if there are any alternatives or way to still use my google nest minis in any way.

Does anyone have any advice or tools to help improve the experience?

Finally I have to add that I do also have a full ARR suite installed and setup on a raspberry pi for but I've always found Lidarr to be the weakest of the bunch. Works a treat for my TV shows and Music

Thanks for taking the time to write such a detailed answer. Lidarr is a complete flop for me I find it very frustrating to use!

    I just got slskd for soulseek going. You can add slskd as a source in lidarr. Need to add a plug-in to do so. I've also noticed lidarr sucks with torrents, but now that it's using slskd it's been pretty great. There's also nicotine+ if you want a desktop app to connect to soulseek, but seeing as I already had portainer and a bunch of docker stuff already, I went with slskd.

    I found a soulseek image for my portainer setup but I'm struggling to get it to work. Navidrome works perfectly which is exciting. I don't really understand the difference or rather the connection between slskd and soulseek

    • soulseek is the sharing platform (not sure how it works exactly, some kind of federation with a central broker to search for users? Like how Matrix by default uses the primary domain for 'discovery')
    • soulseekqt is the program that enables you to interact with the soulseek network
    • slskd is a program specifically for remote running soulseekqt on a headless (no display) server, and serves a web UI with separate login so you can access it from another machine

    The use case for slskd is if you want your music to live on a different machine, whereas soulseek/qt is for if you want your music on your primary machine. Another reason I keep it on a server is efficiency - I can expose my collection for sharing without having my 200W+ PC on, instead my server takes ~60W, ~20 if i remove the GPU
