Blahaj Subsonic Player

This is, right now, a very basic music player for CC:T, that uses any subsonic server with a compatible dfpwm encoder(see below), a CC:T computer with a speaker, and optionally a monitor to display the song queue and current song.

This project will likely not be updated, as such i am releasing under a dual license, MIT and the FAFO-2-CLAUSE version 2, because as much as i like my own license, the MIT license has actual legal backing

Features

• Can play a playlist from a subsonic server, optionally with shuffle
• Display all the songs in the queue on a monitor
• Skip to the next song
• Not much else

Maybe features in the future

• Pause and resume
• Volume control
• Search and play individual songs

Installation

• download both startup.lua and md5.lua
• Set the following settings using the setting api, or edit the settings example file and run it

> set bsp.instance <URL>
> set bsp.user <username>
> set bsp.password <password>
> set bsp.playlist <playlist>

Where:

• instance is the URL of the subsonic server
• user is the username to the subsonic user
• password is the password to the subsonic user
• playlist is the subsonic playlist to play

And optionally the following:

> set bsp.client <clientname>
> set bsp.volume <volume>
> set bsp.displayNum <number>
> set bsp.shuffle <true/false>

Where:

• client is the client name to use when connecting to the subsonic server
• volume is the volume to set the speaker to
• displayNum is the number of songs to display on the monitor
• shuffle is whether to shuffle the playlist

Server Information

• I personally use navidrome as my subsonic server, but this should work with any subsonic API compatible server

• To get dfpwm encoding support, you need to enable the ND_ENABLETRANSCODINGCONFIG setting in navidrome, and add a new encoder with the following settings:

  • Name: dfpwm (this can actually be whatever you want)
  • Target Format: dfpwm
  • Default Bit Rate: 48
  • Command:

 ffmpeg -i %s -c:a dfpwm -ar 48k -ac 1 -f dfpwm -

Warning: This setting allows for any arbitrary command to be run on the server, so be careful with what you put in here and who has access to it
