Will subsonic do what i want?

Postby Yuzi87 » Fri Sep 26, 2014 8:52 am

Hi,

I am looking to create a music server using a rasberry pi.

What i need to achieve is the following:-

Must be able to connect my pi to my amplifier home sound system.

Must be able to stream my music library on any device mobile/computer

Must have a app that i can just select a song on my server and then as long as my hifi is turned on it can play through it

Will subsonic be able to achieve this?

Thanks

Hello. I been running a subsonic server on my raspberry over a year, and it works like a charm. But, i don't stream videos and i don't transcode files on the fly so i can't comment on these

To answer your questions

"Must be able to connect my pi to my amplifier home sound system."

Yes. Follow this instructions http://mj2p.co.uk/a-raspberry-pi-subsonic-jukebox-using-java-8/, but install java with this instructions http://www.raspberrypi.org/oracle-java-on-raspberry-pi/

"Must be able to stream my music library on any device mobile/computer"
Yes you can, http://www.subsonic.org/pages/apps.jsp

"Must have a app that i can just select a song on my server and then as long as my hifi is turned on it can play through it"
