Subsonic Forum

I'm wondering how much of an effort it would be to integrate a photo browser into Subsonic.

I'm thinking of a parallel way of the music streamer: You have pictures in a directory on your server and the pictures are 'transcoded' (resized) into a viewable format (~100kb jpg's). You need to be able to convert big jpg's as well as all the RAW formats. For Linux the tool Ufraw could be linked to this feature.

I'm not sure how many people would be interested in this, I sure am.

/Offtopic: Thank you so much for creating this amazing piece of software Sindre! I've migrated from GNUMP3D to this, it's so much nicer to use and the app integration is just great!! Purchased a license after one day of install

Subsonic can already do this....

Sort of...

In Settings->General->Music Mask add the file extensions for the formats you want. This will get the pictures to start showing up.

Now in player settings choose "external player". Make sure not to check

Now in subsonic "play" and image.

In a browser (or image viewer that can open URLs) go to:

http://<subsonic_server>:<subsonic_port>/<subsonic_path>/stream?player=<player_number>&suffix=<image_extension>

So for my internal subsonic server the actual URL is:

http://10.1.1.10:8080/subsonic/stream?p ... uffix=.jpg

I used Firefox and it loaded up the image just fine. It probably will not work with playlists - but that's a limitation of the image viewer you use.

That's not really what I meant.
It would be really good if there was a 'Photo'-tab where I could scroll through my photo directories and see overviews of my pictures.

I have also searched the web to find a solution to share photos, with user logons so you could share chosen photos to friends, else private.
If its possible to do this in subsonic, it would be the best solution.
I really like the idea of Photo-tab at the top.

I have tried most of the photo albums out there, but none of them does the job as good as subsonic does the job with music.

I really hope to see this in future releases. Friends could upload photos, and share with his selected friends, (and admin ofcourse).

I'd like to thank Sindre Mehus for this amazing application. I have been a active user since the beginning of the project.

Yes, Please please please with the photo support. Even if it is basic to start with. My family uses shutterfly now. Could Seriously use a server that I run myself.

Me too please!!

While it would not be integrated with Subsonic, I wrote a really simple, but useful, web app in plain old ASP (on IIS) that does photo browsing and thumbnailing similarly to how Subsonic does audio files.

There's no database -- it's file based and you'd have to implement your own security, but you can have the code it you want it.

I just posted this if anyone is interested.

The server at 98.228.**.** is taking too long to respond.

No issues on my side. I have the https enabled. You may need to refresh the page after logging in. Not sure why this happens from time to time. You can just navigate to mattbenoist1.subsonic.org/pictures.html if you want to see what the non-embedded version looks like.

now its works:) too see a html i need to login
guest guest
thanks a lot for demo

I will revive this thread because I would LOVE to see native picture/image hosting through Subsonic server. Then, of course, in the Android (and iOS) apps there would be a native picture viewer so I can view pictures from my home pictures archive on my smartphone

I know Subsonic is geared towards Music, and Video as an afterthought.. but do you ever see support for the streaming of pictures? This would set Subsonic into a realm of its own (streaming pictures from a remote PC to a browers and native Android/iOS apps). I can't tell you how many times I have wanted to show someone a picture from my huge picture archive on my PC using my phone.

i would like too hah
