    1 project | /r/selfhosted | 17 Nov 2023
    Hi everyone! Just announcing that Supersonic version 0.8.0 is out, now with support for Jellyfin servers! For Jellyfin users, or anyone else new to the app, Supersonic is a lightweight but full-featured cross platform desktop music player for selfhosted music servers, featuring gapless playback, ReplayGain, a graphic equalizer, infinite scrolling grid views, and more!
  • Navidrome: Open-Source Software to enjoy your music collection from anywhere

    Navidrome is absolutely brilliant. It works very well for accessing my library; the configuration options (env vars) also give me loads of customizability.

    P.S. a well-known secret is Supersonic[0]. It's an excellent cross-platform Subsonic client (which works with Navidrome!). It's not Electron-based, either. Much like Navidrome, I've had absolutely no issues with it. Love it.

  • Musicserver that works with folders, not albums
    4 projects | /r/selfhosted | 10 Jul 2023
    Gonic is a Subsonic-compatible server that supports folders, but it has no built-in web UI so you need to find clients that support browsing by folders. My desktop client Supersonic currently doesn't support browsing by folders but I have a feature request to add it - and am looking for feedback on how the UI should look/work!
  • Music Streaming Server that works with folders ?
    1 project | /r/selfhosted | 6 Jul 2023
    Gonic (a Subsonic-compatible server) supports browse by folder, as does Airsonic-advanced. For Gonic you need clients as it has no built-in web client. Symfonium on Android supports folders. Sonixd on desktop does as well, though it's not actively developed anymore (its successor Feishin does not support folders or the Subsonic API). My desktop client Supersonic doesn't support folders yet, but I have a feature request for it. Feel free to thumbs-up the Github issue and chime in on how the UI for browsing by folders should be designed!

  • Help: Detect if the speaker port is already occupied
    2 projects | /r/golang | 19 May 2023
    I'm not sure if there's a way to do that in a consistent cross-platform way. But just wanted to say that this is a cool project! And also to mention that I have a GUI music player in Go, Supersonic, that is a client for self-hosted music servers. I use libmpv through CGO for audio playback. If you ever wanted to switch audio backends in your app, I'm open to moving the higher-level interface I built into its own go module, although the low-level mpv bindings it's built on are GPLv3 so you'd need to either relicense Teamus as GPLv3, write a from-scratch mpv binding, or convince the developer to relicense it to MIT.
  • Jellyfin Go client library for music player project?
    1 project | /r/jellyfin | 15 May 2023
    Hi everyone! I have been developing a desktop music player for Subsonic servers for the past several months and I would like to bring Jellyfin support as well! The project is written in Go. I have completed most of the work in my app to make other media providers pluggable, but some quick Github and Google searching hasn't turned up any pre-existing Go client library for Jellyfin, though there are a bunch for other languages. Was wondering if I could be missing one, or if someone who knows Go and the Jellyfin API might be interested in contributing one :) (I would get around to it eventually but I have other feature development in my app to work on and if there were a preexisting client library I could leverage, Jellyfin support could land much sooner!)

  • Considering Linux and selecting my first distro.

    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.

  • Segfault when linking library in glava (OBS plugin ?
    1 project | /r/linuxquestions | 15 Jan 2022
    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?
