I'm looking for a self hosted music server (or client) that has good automatic playlist generation from a selected song, like Spotify's "your recommended". I'm currently running jellyfin and navidrome for music. The closest I've seen is beatbump but it uses YouTube for the music, I'm hoping to use my local files. Any suggestions?

I've had issues with Plex not scanning all of my media. Not sure if it has to do with the format that lidarr stores music on disk or what. Have you had this issue?

I can't say that I have. I've never used lidarr though so if there is an issue with that I'm not the person to ask.

I find Plex to be pretty bullet proof, and I have family scattered all over the US, and one in Europe, who all use my server and we don't run into many issues. Very occasionally I'll get a message something isn't working and just restarting Plex always seems to fix it. I like self hosting but I'm not any sort of tech wizard. If it took a lot of work to maintain or had a lot of problems with multiple users I'd probably just abandon it, but I've been running it for the better part of 15 years now and it's pretty solid/dummy proof in my experience.
