  • Msync: Maintain lower-bitrate copy of your music files

    It's a shame you have to jump through so many hoops just to have your own music wherever you want it.

    I did something similar a long time ago, a process that transcodes music on-the-fly with ffmpeg and exposes the ogg version through a FUSE filesystem, also built with go (https://github.com/rakoo/codecfs/). I just tested and you can export this FUSE filesystem through SFTP, and VLC on Android can open remote folders through SFTP... so you can have your entire library compressed on-the-fly on both Android and iOS, and there is no lag between input and playback.

    Filesystems all the way down and it works transparently (even though to be even cleaner SFTP should be mountable and available as a standard folder in Android). Somewhere in there Plan9 says "I told you so".

    (Note if you're doing that: there is an issue with entering credentials on Android with SFTP, see https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc-android/-/issues/1508)
