A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  6. No trolling.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

Holy crap, this looks amazing. Has anyone tried it?

I've been using it for a little while now - I prefer the UI of the official app, but Wholphin is the only way I can consistently and properly play everything in my library with 0 transcoding.

I have a ShieldTV+AVR setup that can handle every media format out there, but for some reason the default app always transcoded Atmos & DTS audio (or just refuses to play if I disable transcoding entirely).

Wholphin does not have this issue, and now everything plays flawlessly with 0 overhead.

I've been using it for a couple months. It's been great, for the most part

What about the lesser part... what happened?

On the Nvidia Shield the MPV backend doesn't really work, it has an issue with stuttering. Works great on my other TV, though. Besides that, just a few crashes early on, nothing recently, though.

I discovered wholphin several months ago and so far it's been fantastic for an Android tv client. The intent of the design is to be similar in UI to Plex and it achieves that very well even in it's early development.

I'd easily say it's the most polished client I've seen to date from a UI perspective even though I know there are some bugs people see (although they seem minor). For most people switching others from Plex to Jellyfin, the app is a great option.
