Feature Request - Add Desktop Variant

Open JosephSanjaya opened this issue 2 years ago • 11 comments

Hi team,

I’m a big fan of your media player, but I’m disappointed to see that it’s only available for mobile devices. I use a desktop media player all the time, like Spotube, and I would love to see a desktop version of your app to ensure consistent user experiences.

not so easy, lots of parts were implemented only for Android

  1. newpipe_extractor which powers YouTube section
  2. waveform_extractor (may be implemented using ffmpeg)
  3. faudiotagger which reads/edit audio tags (can be replaced with ffmpeg but too much work)
  4. folders structure tree, optimized for android
  5. some other minor parts
  6. then you got the ui adaptation which would be massive

i can't say it's impossible but it's not a priority and may or may not come one day

if you are looking for a good music player on desktop, check out Harmonoid, an elegant one

update: package:ffmpeg_kit is currently not supported for windows, which increases the impossibility of a desktop version

IOS on the other hand might be easier, if there was a good alternative for newpipe extractor

Are there any other good desktop alternatives that are similar to Namida?
