How simple would this be to adapt to a raspberry pi, where the music played on the pi itself, over the 1/8" jack, instead of in the web client?

- spicybright 5y agoLikely not so simple. You'd have to run the browser on the pi, which is no problem, but then you need a was to access that browser from the outside.
- flyingcircus3 5y agoMy goal is to use the pi as a car audio player with a USB SSD. Put the pi's wifi in AP mode. Connect a phone to the pi. Now the phone is the UI, but the audio plays through the pi, into the car's aux input.
- dusted 5y agoNot at all what this was made for, but that could be a fun project and also not especially complicated (spawn mplayer on the pi)
- flyingcircus3 5y agoDoes this maintain any state? Lets say I start playing an album, then leave the page. Does the music restart from the same track/time, when I return, or do I need to reselect the track and start from the beginning?
- dusted 5y agoNope, the state is all in the audio player component of the browser, this is really nothing but an interface to tell the browser what file to play
- Phrodo_00 5y agoI don't know, but you could use mopidy or mpd to accomplish this.

- flyingcircus3 5y agoDoes this rely on tagged files? The music I'm interested in using is live shows from The Grateful Dead and Phish, and is all labelled in folders and filename. Last time I tried mpd, everything needed to be tagged.
