Great reuse of MPd/c instead of writing something else homemade.
I wonder why this isnt more easier, people love to listen to music, from various sources to various speakers, sometimes I want to play it perhaps on my phone whats available on the raspfi, and sometimes to play what is on the phone but not on the NAS/usb-stick through the raspfi connected speakers (without attaching wire to the phone), and this solution seems to falter here... and sometimes I would like to give control of the playlist to a friends phone, or play the music on his device through mine. Why are these scenarios so difficult to do, it is 2013 and we have all the pieces? And yet it is such a hassle. (How come everything sucks so much?)
Ive been trying for years now, without success. Its always some library or quirk thats missing. Tomahawk-player is the best I came so far, together with DLNA, but it doesnt have a good android client yet.
- mikelangeloz 13y agoHi, I'm RaspyFi founder. The points you made are exactly what we have in mind for future releses: 1- multiple users playlist 2- multiroom support Some of the things you mentioned can be already done. A friend of you can enqueue songs on raspyfi's playlist. The PI can handle 10 simoultaneus clients connected, that means also collaborative play queue. Hope you're enjoying RaspyFi
- ecaron 13y agoIf you need anyone to help be your test-dummy for multiroom support, I'd be happy to help. Up until last week I was just going to buy 4 20w-amps & 4 Pis to power my 4 rooms, but I recently got ambitious and want to see if I can have just 1 Pi rule them all...
- antocv 13y agoWould it be possible to add a kind of auto-discover of a web-interface to control the RaspFi? So that friends/guests dont have to install a client or any other app, just by what is bundled on an android, I believe most already have some kind of DLNA, Samsung S3 has it, but they call it Kies or ShareAll or something. So a guest would discover the RaspFi, and control it/manage it like any other dlna device. Do we need to develop some kind of adapter between dlna - mpd?
- alexanderchr 13y agoI run an open source airplay server on my raspberry. It doesn't do everything that you listed and is without android support, but it makes it amazingly simple to stream music from the phone and computer.
