FR: Add support for local files and media servers like Subsonic
@isle9 Hello.
Local files support is suggested in #73. Could you describe this feature in details?
And what should Subsonic support look like? I personally don't have any experience with it.
Hello, I have tons of experience with Subsonic.
Subsonic API is quite simple. Docs: http://www.subsonic.org/pages/api.jsp
Basically, every single API request is authenicated by a MD5 salt + hash, and after that everything else is quite easy to implement.
TS implementation of the subsonic API I use in my music player (that's entierly Subsonic based): https://github.com/yourfriendoss/musicplayer2/blob/main/src/lib/subsonic.ts
@yourfriendoss Hello. So basically you create your own local media server and can connect to it via API?
@yourfriendoss Hello. So basically you create your own local media server and can connect to it via API?
@staniel359 Yes! There are many servers and they all roughly support the same API with slight version differences, so you can create a local server on your laptop or your NAS for example, and just play music from your phone, PC, laptop, whatnot else.
Client implementations
- https://github.com/BLeeEZ/amperfy
- https://github.com/jeffvli/sonixd
Server implementations:
- https://github.com/sentriz/gonic
- https://airsonic.github.io/
- https://www.navidrome.org/ (not actually based on Subsonic - however has compat with latest subsonic version)
Subsonic API currently has some disagreements, but if you can create a API library based on the latest subsonic version I don't think it'll change much.
