Hey there,
Would you be interested in collaborating on a music project. I'm working on a selfhosted music streaming server called mStream that allows you to stream music from a home computer to any device. I began writing it several years ago when I couldn't find a good solution for FLAC streaming.
The main thing I'm missing is an iOS app. Let me know if you're interested.
The project: https://github.com/IrosTheBeggar/mStream https://github.com/IrosTheBeggar/mStream
- confounded 8y agoInteresting. I’m looking to set something like this up soon. What are the advantages compared to more established protocols with servers and clients, like Subsonic/Airsonic, or Ampache?
- mStreamTeam 8y agoSubsonic/Ampache wins when it comes to client support. mStream's biggest downside is the lack of good mobile clients. mStream has an advantage in the areas of DB and installation. mStream makes use of LokiJS, an in-memory DB that is VERY fast. mStream also comes packaged as a single click installer for Win/OSX (see the release pages for this). These installers have no dependencies and are configurable via a GUI, making very easy for non-technical people to setup their own home servers. mStream is also taking a turn to support a different market in the future. I'm working on adding eCommerce tools to the server, so bands and musicians can use it as a way to sell music/merch without having a 3rd party take a cut of the revenue. Also mStream will always be FOSS, if that matters to you
