A configuration setting to always have it streaming #421

Open raksasas opened 9 years ago

Would it be possible to have a configuration setting to have it always streaming/playing? Give the user the ability to enabled/disable this.

What I am looking for:

At that point, all I have to do is starting cueing up music, playlists, etc or just let it play.

Small note: My server running Groove Basin is in a closet not connected to any audio equipment and never will be.

You can accomplish this by pressing 's' and then 'space' keyboard shortcuts when your browser loads the client. Is the goal of this configuration setting to save you two keystrokes? I'm not being sarcastic, just trying to understand the use case.

Example.
I currently have a laptop hooked to my stereo. All I have to do is power it on. Once booted I have it set to launch the the browser automatically. The default (homepage) page is set to go to a Internet radio station I listen to. So on that system all I touch is the power button. Also, the keyboard doesn't work on this laptop so I have to remote into it to do anything on it or hook a usb keyboard to it.

I think this setting makes sense, along with a setting to disable auto-pause when everybody disconnects.

+1 on the feature so we can use this as an internet radio station.

or a feature to turn the streaming back on as soon as someone connects
