Jukebox with audio / video as a minimum software to use with control4?

[NiNJA]

Hey all,

So looking for Jukebox software for audio and video that integrates with control4 and have been looking at everything between Kodi and dedicated jukebox software running on a pc / raspberry pi (5 Best Jukebox software) etc.

Wondering what everyone else already uses for this, and maybe it depends whether you just want internet streaming apps like Spotify etc, but here is my wish list and would appreciate any input on what to look at. Dont mind if this needs a dedicated pc, or can be run from a nvidia shield / raspberry pi etc.

Mandatory features:

Media: Audio (mp3's) & Video (mp4 etc for music clips), manage library / meta tags etc, media stored locally (NAS or HDD), able to download album art etc, scan media / auto add new tracks

Features: Jukebox "party" mode whereby you can lock down features for guests to browse / add music to queue but not mess up library / change settings etc. Auto DJ mode if nothing in playlist. Able to save playlists / import windows media playlists etc

Accessibility: Ideally from C4 interface for home owner or web browser / mobile app will do, web browser/mobile app for guests

 

Optional features:

Media: Able to use integrate with spotify, soundcloud, internet radio stations etc.

Features: Karaoke media file support

 

thanks

Did you ever find a good solution to your Jukebox question. I am facing a similar need and looking for best way to transfer 100s of CDs to an external hard drive or something. What did you do?

He was specifically asking for an advanced software solutions.

My two cents if you want CDs fo use in C4 these days:

If you want more than one stream available, you can add Nodes to do so.
