Good evening! I'm very excited to be working with FirefoxOS and looking to integrate our streaming music service with the built-in music app.
What I'm looking to do is write a service/module/etc. that can add media to the central library that will be streamed from our music service (as opposed to adding music files stored on the local filesystem). This way music from our service can be played by the Music app alongside local music (or other sources as well) instead of having multiple player apps for each service. I've been reading over the mediadb.js source and it would seem like it would be possible to add music to the library from non-filesystem sources, but it's less clear that these files could be referenced by URL to be played back via network stream instead of local filesystem. How I imagine this is a UI that appears in settings or something like that where the account information can be supplied, and then a background process that adds/removes media references from the media library on a scheduled or perhaps push-triggered basis. Another approach might be to implement access to the music service like a FUSE module and make the media appear in the filesystem, but I'd be concerned with the performance this might have. Any feedback appreciated, and if there's documentation out there for these features I'd be happy to start there if you can point me in the right direction, thanks!
