@skobkin @geerlingguy I've looked at Jellyfin and such, they come close but the "offline" features are always a sore point, either the players that connect to them don't support it or the server doesn't support it.

I'd be easy if mobile phone bandwidth was unlimited where I live.... *sigh*

Ah, yes. If your bandwidth is capped or paid per GB, then it's not an ideal solution.
For you it probably should be something about periodical synchronization to the mobile device storage 🤔

@skobkin @geerlingguy easy enough to work around on android as you can restrict an app to only use wifi & not mobile data, but you need a player that can handle that without crashing and you'd still need a unified format for play-lists (eg .m3u files) that you can dump into a cloud-synced location.

Eg: Say I usually use Rhythbox on my Linux Desktop, I'd still need to figure out how to export the files with a play-list.... Hmm maybe I should look more into nextcloud clients...

Or syncthing for example. It's P2P and therefore doesn't need a server.
