Or Emby? https://emby.media/

It's open source and has most of the features that plex has.

Only the basic version is open source it seems:

> "Purchase Emby Premiere and receive additional bonus features such as Cover Art, Mobile Sync, Cloud Sync, and free Android apps."

Incidentally, the paid features seems to include most of the things that would make me consider a media centre installation, which would seem to make the open source version mostly uninteresting to me at least.

Last time I tried Plex and Emby, neither supported gapless playback of music, which makes any listening of classical music excruciating / a non-starter. Is anyone aware of a self-hosted option that does support gapless playback?

I use Madsonic with the Dsub Android app.

Same, with iSub for iOS and streaming transcode from FLAC to 320Kbps MP3. I find gapless playback only breaks in cases where the content isn't precached and the network is so slow and/or badly affected by latency that the next track hasn't had a chance to start caching before the current one finishes.
