So I think I have found a solution that will work for me.
It is something I already have and use but I didn't know I could use it to play my media.
https://www.openhab.org/
and more specifically https://www.openhab.org/docs/configurat … o-playback

Thanks for the feedback. Some interesting possibilities.

So I found that they have a docker version and I was able to get that to work.
Unfortunately, they want to charge me to play MY music on MY device over MY network. I don't think so.
Does anyone know of another way, like an open source version of MyMedia?

It is installed so it looks like I'm out of luck.

The player doesn't need to start at boot time but a server should so that any time music was requested, it would start playing.
I tried just running the executable but there were errors

ERROR: ld.so: object 'libgtk3-nocsd.so.0' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (cannot open shared object file): ignored.

I wanted to try Amazon's mymedia (https://www.mymediaalexa.com/#section-3) to play my local music files on Amazon devices. The .deb file only comes with systemd service files. Is there a way to convert these to init.d start scripts? Anyone else tried this?
I found an old post that contained a sysd2v.sh script to do it but is doesn't work any more.
