The feature I am after is being able to visit a web page showing my music collection and playing the music using my browser. I am only aware of ampache and groovebasin in Debian that is able to do so, and while groovebasin work fairly well, it refuses to work in a sub-url (see https://github.com/andrewrk/groovebasin/issues/495), and thus is hard to get working with FreedomBox and pagekite (another of my requirements). I hope ampache is without such limitation, but have not tested it yet. Using a non-web client (gmpc) to enable streaing to another non-web client (vlc) is not going to work for my use case - playing music from home at work and when travelling. And sure, mounting network drives using plinth would be great, but not a requirement as I am able to fix that by logging in via ssh. -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen _______________________________________________ Freedombox-discuss mailing list Freedombox-discuss@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/freedombox-discuss
