Hm, ok, I know I am not a typical user today and I am using sailfish on phone, but what is wrong with mounting sftp? I dont need any additional services for streaming and it just works. For music, movies, actually whatever I want to use as long as it only uses the offsets for obtaining the metadata while it doesnt download the whole song/movie/... just to open it.
- EamonnMR 5y agoI do something similar with Samba.
- mongol 5y agoCan you do that with Android?
- connordoner 5y agoThere’s definitely ways to access an SFTP drive on Android, but I’m not sure how well it’d fare offline.
- dusted 5y agoTldr; optimized for my specific search intensive and jumpy "music listening flow" using keyboard and mouse on a desktop workstation behind a corpo wall. There are a few reasons I couldn't live with that (I did samba over openvpn on my phone for quite a while, vlc as the player). Primary reason is I want it to be https so I can listen to my music at work, on my workstation without needing to poke through their firewall. Secondary reason is that I listen to music the entire day and want a very quick way to find what I want, browsing lists and picking files is not working for me, I got addicted to the "j" key in winamp many years ago and this is kind of that idea distilled and redined a bit. I made this after seeing another player here on HN called mstream, I used it for a while but the UI managed to both do too much and not entirely what I wanted.
- spicybright 5y agoHaving a a temporary music queue you add to and shuffle around while it's playing is sadly under rated in most music players. That's how I listen to music too. Nice work!
- raffraffraff 5y agoThis is why I MusicBee! I instantly drop a music player that cannot do this.
