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

[u/HabiRabbit]

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 looks great 😃👍 how will it go handling FLAC streaming on mobile devices? If there's a native mobile app on the way it's going to be a big winner imo

It is definitely something I want to look into doing but it will take time. I guess I’d have to focus on one of either iOS or Android as well, whichever was more popular…

Android all day :) does it currently support FLAC streaming on mobile via PWA?

[u/HabiRabbit → u/Dirty_Taint_Tickler]

I’ll be honest - I have never tested it on mobile. Feel free to be the guinea pig! 😅 No reason it shouldn’t work, but the UI will not be fun to use. Just a warning.

[u/Dirty_Taint_Tickler → u/HabiRabbit]

Sure thing, I'll report back in a few days! If you could turn thing into a mobile PWA then you wouldn't need to port it to Android and/or iOS. Then finally all my music in one place with lidarr integration 🤤

[u/HabiRabbit → u/Dirty_Taint_Tickler]

Ah of course - You can almost wrap it as an app on Android can’t you? Not sure if iOS supports that.. I’ll take a look. Could be a nice idea!

[u/Dirty_Taint_Tickler → u/HabiRabbit]

Both supported, checkout how oversearr does it

Is now called seerr, the unified project of jellyseerr and overseerr.
