I think it would be pretty cool if subsonic has a Google Chrome App. What do you guys think?

This would blow any music player out of the water.

shouldn't be too hard to make the default web interface available : http://code.google.com/chrome/apps/docs ... .html#live

Here is a quick manifest to use the USERNAME.subsonic.org interface.

http://qbit.devio.us/SubSonic.zip

Just unzip - open the manifest.json file and change USERNAME to what ever your .subsonic.org setting is set to :P ..

then in chrome type in "chrome:extensions" hit enter, then click the + by "Developer Mode"..
click "Load Unpacked extension", and navigate to the unzip'd folder containing the manifest file ..

it should load up into the list of extensions - and be listed in the app's area.


The icon is kinda crappy :P - if anyone has a better one - feel free to add it! :D

as soon as i figure out a way to ask for usernames, and get a better icon - I will publish this to the web store.

Would people prefer a web app or just something that links them over to their server. Personally I would rather have a web app, and if anyone wants to help I do have a web app started for chrome. Just haven't had a chance to finish it.

Options are great! I can't help (not a dev) but I'll be a happy user once it's complete! 8)

It would be nice for users without xxxxxx.subsonic.org addresses use this as well. Any chance of adding a custom address option?

Emergence - I would like to help out! Do you have the code on something like github.com?

kermit22 and mfalzon, I am planning on adding support for multiple servers, and non-subsonic.org urls.

Any other feature suggestions?

Depending on how you do the non subsonic url you might need the port.

I just add bookmarks that appear accross the top to the sites I visit.

e.g.


http://music.stozher.com/login.view?use ... &password=


If you want to connect to a local site the format is the same.

192.168.1.254:8080/login.view?user=guest&password=guest

Clicking on the shortcut takes you right there without having to log in.

I've got seven active links and can change sites with one mouse click in an instant.

I use Chrome almost exclusively for SS playback. It handles internet radio streams much better than IE and it just looks cleaner.
