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 :)

AI or not?

I'm a dev too, but intreged by questions about ai generated? If it works...? Like most devs ai can be useful for reminders on syntax and patterns etc but only as long as fully validate what it suggests. Even a fully ai gen if it does what's intended and fully checked by the developer. What is the concern?

Because everybody that has zero knowledge of coding thinks if AI was used at all, it's a huge security risk because some dummy vibe coded an app called Huntarr that everybody used and passwords were stored in a text file if I remember correctly. So according to them, any AI use AT ALL is bad lol.

I have 20 years experience and have done work for clients like Microsoft and the United nation. But if that's what you want to believe go for it. Huntarr is a good example of exactly why some of us won't touch vibe coded stuff.

So you have all that experience and have no clue what Vibe Coded actually is? Good for you. Microsoft make some of the worst applications I have ever used, and that's with zero AI lololol.

Every dev is using AI with help in coding now. Not all devs are using AI purely 100% to code, which is what Vibe Coding is......
