glava VS LMS

Sounds like a job for GLava instead

glava an overkill gpu accelerated audio visualizer for the desktop Example: https://streamable.com/dgpj8

It was just a plug-in for Glava (https://github.com/jarcode-foss/glava) not really worth sharing imo.

[glava](https://github.com/jarcode-foss/glava) closes when I close the terminal, even after running it with the appended `&`. How to keep it running?

A lot of those soundwave things, etc. are just dedicated sound visualizers stuck onto the desktop - in most Linux environments you can put ANY program onto your desktop, not just a static picture. Something like glava (in fact I think it has a desktop option out of the box).

No, but alot of the functions can be through separate applications, per-monitor wallpapers can be done through hydrapaper, visualizers for music can be done through glava, and the stats readouts can be done through conky.

It's glava

GLava?

I've been trying to gather glava working. It seems like it's not being maintained any more, as there are a few compiling problems, but there are merge requests there that fix those. glava seems to run fine on my desktop, but won't run as an obs plugin. It segfaults when trying to load the‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎­OpenGL libraries. Here's the relevant code from glx_wcb.c: typedef XID GLXFBConfigID; GLXFBConfig* (glXChooseFBConfig) (Display dpy, int screen, const int* attribList, int* nitems); static void* resolve_f(const char* symbol, void* gl) { void* s = NULL; if (gl) s = dlsym(gl, symbol); if (!s) { fprintf(stderr, "Failed to resolve GLX symbol: %s\n", symbol); glava_abort(); } return s; } And then this is in the init function: #define resolve(name) do { name = (typeof(name)) resolve_f(#name, hgl); } while (0) resolve(glXChooseFBConfig); I've only shown the first function that it tries to load, glXChooseFBConfig, since it fails on all of them. The call to dlsym() doesn't fail though (s gets returned), and I find that confusing. All this works just fine when running glava out of a console. I feel like I don't know enough about dynamic library linking to figure out what's going wrong. Any ideas?

For those that dont know if you add an album that has multiple album artists ( artist 1;artist b) then plex/plexamp instead of showing the album in both artists pages and showing both artist tags as clickable (same way EVERY streaming service is serving music right now) it populates a new artists page named "artists a;artist b". They keep adding trash features that none cares about or even asks and don't even have a basic feature that projects like Lightweight Music Server already have.

Just wanted to give quick plug for my music player app Supersonic! It's a client for Subsonic API-compatible servers, so it handles the UI and playback while the server (Gonic or LMS would be good lightweight choices for localhost-only setup) handles the library management/metadata indexing. It's a quite young project but I have lots of plans for continued improvement and new features (and would gladly accept contributions)!

If you're concerned about power usage You can start with just a raspberry pi or something similar running something like Lightweight Music Server which uses a subsonic protocol. Then any app that can connect to a subsonic server like ultrasonic (not sure if this one specifically available for iOS). That's how I started before moving onto Plex and Plexamp.

Good time to move your library to something else like LMS https://github.com/epoupon/lms

I use LMS (Lightweight Music Server) to stream my music to desktop and mobile. It supports the Subsonic API for clients, scrobbling to ListenBrainz, has a nice web UI, and for some reason is the only music server that supports volume equalization with Replaygain.

Not sure if that would fit your needs but https://github.com/epoupon/lms has a radio mode that automatically feeds the play queue with similar tracks. Just seed with some tracks (a whole album, a discography, a single track, etc.) and hit play.

LMS - LightWeight Music Server https://github.com/epoupon/lms Super fast with a good set of features. Seems to be well coded in general.

Hmm, that link shows me my IP address is banned (I assume from the time when the provider I use had dynamic IPs so a whole range is banned). Anyway - is it this? https://github.com/epoupon/lms

https://github.com/epoupon/lms has a built in recommandation engine to help you find similar tracks (in your collection) to what is in your current play queue.

Maybe Substreamer has a problem with a specific server? The server I used is here (open-source): https://github.com/epoupon/lms/blob/master/INSTALL.md
