Amazon hasn’t ruined invincible. I’d argue it’s better than the comics and each season it’s better than the last.

Sonos speakers will miss the mark on price, they’re fairly expensive, but have a home assistant integration and can be blocked at the firewall from accessing the internet making them 100% local. I was lucky to get a couple on sale when ikea stopped carrying them and their quality can’t be beat.

Using home assistant and a smart speaker i’ve done what you’re wanting to do. Added bonus is when going to bed I press a button to turn off most of my automations and the same button to turn them on in the morning. That way if my sleep cycle changes on the fly the chimes change with it. I’ve also got the added bonus of being able to use whatever chime or sounds i want.

But that’s probably overkill for what you want, unless you want to pick up the hobby of home automation.

Based on some older results i’ve found jellyfin isn’t set up to save play location in songs but if you ran the music folder as audio books it will. Not sure what that’ll do in regards to meta data but it’s only half the problem. I’d just as soon give up the time stamp memory if i could get playlist save state.

I opened my server via web browser and started playing music and when i opened the app on my phone it didn’t show anything as playing. Either there’s a plugin i need to install, a setting i need to change, or it’s not an option with jellyfin.
