I feel your pain. It seems these apps have been built by monolinguists, and the language preference/requirement you mentioned are more of an afterthought than, for example, quality/resolution preferences.

For subtitles, at least, a bilingual family needs to have two separate instances of bazaar.

Of course, that’s less than ideal when you start talking about two entire video files when all you want is an additional audio stream.

I’ll be checking back here hoping you’ll find a solution.

They all have their quirks, but until airsonic-advanced catches up with the latest opensubsonic API, I’ve been trying out Audinaut, DSub, and Ultrasonic. I had to reorganize my whole library, though.

I’m not a fan of these album-based apps. most of my music falls under “Various Artists”. As such, I’ve been playing around with Musicbrainz Picard to try different tagging in an attempt to try to find something that works across both at the server and client end.

Subsonic doesn’t work for me, I’m guessing because it refuses to fall back to earlier versions of their API. I could be wrong.

There are many examples of this, but one that comes immediately to mind is the evolution of my favourite LDAP-enabled music player, airsonic-advanced

Subsonic begat libresonic

Libresonic begat airsonic as well as a whole bunch of other projects.

Airsonic begat airsonic-advanced

Airsonic-advanced begat kagemomiji/airsonic-advanced, however the maintainer of the parent codebase, randomnicode, wants to do the right thing and get their code up to snuff with the opensubsonic API (not sure where that fits in to thr history) so kagemomji can take over.

Read between the lines in Amazon’s response.

They probably monitor the drivers for lip movements to see if they’re talking on the phone, but their monitoring can’t differentiate between singing or talking to one’s self and talking or singing to someone else, so everyone gets flagged. The drivers know the best way to avoid the ire of management is to simply not move their lips.

It may not be an outright prohibition, but it does have a chilling effect, which makes it as good as one.

Squeezebox has been through several names through the years. It’s now called the “Lyrion Music Server.”
