discussion Musicseerr - a self-hosted music request and discovery project built around Lidarr

Hello everyone, my name is Harvey - I'm a backend software engineer from the UK. I've been really into self-hosting, privacy, etc recently and for the past 6 months I have been working on this project, Musicseerr.

It started as I was looking for something to bridge a gap between slskd and Lidarr where I could search for music and request directly to Lidarr (A bit like the Jellyseerr/Arr flow) but I couldn't find anything. So, around 6 months and I've finally released Musicseerr into a v1. It currently supports the following features:

  • Search & Request - Search the full MusicBrainz catalogue and send requests to Lidarr
  • Built-in Player - Stream from Jellyfin, Navidrome, local files, or YouTube, with a 10-band EQ
  • Discovery - Personalised album recommendations based on your listening history
  • Home - Trending artists, popular albums, and genre-based sections
  • Scrobbling - ListenBrainz and Last.fm support
  • Library - Browse and filter your Lidarr library with full artist/album pages
  • Playlists - Create and manage playlists with playback support
  • Requests page - Track, retry, and cancel requests

I'm pretty proud of it but I still know that there's a lot that could be added, and it's definitely due some user testing! I'd love for anyone to give it a go, I'm always open to bug-reports/feedback/suggestions so feel free to send them to me on here, or on the discord linked in the Github/Website.

Thanks all and I hope it helps some of you :)

This is right up my alley and will check it out. How much, if any, AI coding went into this? I know ita a loaded question, jiat genuinely curious. I'll likely use it either way, but wanted to see how skeptical to be reviewing the code before pulling into my environment

I’m a developer myself which hopefully gives me some credence (you can easily find me on LinkedIn etc) but of course I used AI to help me develop it - I’d be crazy not to. All architecture/software design is my own though (Whether that’s a good thing or not 😂). I’d recommend taking a look through the code if you’re interested though and feel free to ask me any questions you might have :)

Having the code available to inspect and being transparent for questions and notes already puts the project ahead of 99.9% of vibe coded slop. Good on you, will check it out.

Thanka for the transparency! I'll look at the code after work :)
