[Feature Request] Stream Player

Open tnemeth opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

Hi dear developers.

I'd like to propose another feature for Phonograph : Stream Player.

I was wondering if I would spend some time to develop a specific app then I thought it would be better to just add that feature to an existing app. Since I've been using Phonograph for some time now, I thought it would be best to have it here.

So here is how I see it :

  • a configuration page allows to add streams URLs and associate them with a downloaded image (the original could be removed once integrated into Phonograph database)
  • a tab presents a list of stream (with their associated image) : either in list or in grid
  • playing a stream wouldn't destroy /reset the local files playlist of course :)

One should be able to switch from a stream to another easily...

Do you think it could be implemented ?

Well, it is a lot of work to do if so.

And this is a very large feature to implement, which require plenty of time and effects to design, implement, test and refine it. However I am sure that most users of Phonograph Plus would not use it.

Besides, I wound be not so "unoccupied" these years.

So, my answer is NO for recent one or two year, but possible in the future.

Fast reply :)

Is it such a large feature ? What would you say are the biggest roadblocks ?

Note that I can actually play stream on my phone using mpv from termux ;)
