Server-server communication

Open tooxie opened this issue 12 years ago • 1 comments

It should be possible for a user to share his music with another. If I share my music with you, then my server sends its index of files to yours, and now you are able to search all the music as one big database.

Note that servers don't necessarily share the files itself, each could be responsible for their music, or they could transfer the music on demand. When I click "play", the server requests the file, stores it and then streams it.

Maybe Cap’n Proto can be used as the communications protocol.
