Palm Pre App

[sindre_mehus]

Yes, I think I know why html5 audio doesn't work with Subsonic.

A few releases ago, a bug snuck in which causes the content-type to not be set in the http response when streaming.

I'll fix that in the next release.

In many ways this simplifies things. Since it sounds like this fix will be for the latest version only meaning I only have to worry about one type of authentication.

I've started working on a basic WebOS based app. Got basic browsing and logging in going. Hoping to have something to show by the end of summer.

If you need testers, I'd be more than happy to volunteer.

I can volunteer too. Now that 4.1 beta is out, is the app testable?

[jamisonstepan]

Hey, bad news. I decided to dump Palm, just wasn't feeling the developer love from HP.

I'll try and post my source code here in the next week or so for anyone to grab. The basic functionality was in place to set up your account and browse a subsonic server, so the music playing ability needed to be added next.

[mcdjork]

I'm going to try to continue working with jamisonstepan's code when he posts it.

I've already confirmed that songs from my subsonic server can be played on the webOS using html5 audio functionality.

Anyone who'd like to help out or test, let me know.

[isawdrones]

mcdjork, let me know. I'd be happy to test.

I also wanted to point out the developer who created the webos ampache-mobile client has expressed at least some interest in a subsonic back-end. Depending on the state of jamisonstepan's code, it may be worth looking into using some of the ampache-mobile code.

Just wanted to give you guys a status update. I'm actively working on the app, but it's not ready for testing yet. It's modeled after Sindre's Android app. Check this screen shot of the home screen:

Looks very good!

Have you done any experimentation with music streaming and playback?

Keep up the good work!
Sindre

I haven't coded the 'now playing' interface yet, but I can confirm that streaming music from the subsonic REST interface to the pre does indeed work now. Since I don't have an interface yet, I hardcoded an html <audio> tag (linked to a song on my server) and played it with javascript .load() and .play() functions. Works great!

[sindre_mehus]

Brilliant, good to know that it works!

I too am very interested in a WebOS app for Subsonic. I see that you are making great progress! If you need another tester, let me know..

Thanks,
Jim

I would love to see a Supersonic Webos app. I have been using ampache for awhile, and the phone app works great, but I seem to lose a config file every once in awhile that breaks the server backend. This has happened multiple times and I have been searching for an alternative. I would be highly interested in testing this WebSonic app.

any updates on the development?
im getting a pixi plus tomorrow and would love to use subsonic on it.

registered just to ask if anyone has picked up on this? It's a shame this didn't get picked up earlier... seems a lot easier to deal w/ than ampache.
