Support for more audio formats

[sbmw]

Support for remembering playback position, i.e. for audiobooks etc

[sunjam]

Gap Less playback to avoid the pause between tracks on webdav. Cheers!

[sunjam]

It would be nice to share a "source" with another Diffuse instance. Example, you add my webdav share credentials (including password) with a simple click rather than manually filling out all the details.

[icidasset]

@sbmw @smartrobot @sunjam Version 2 is out with those features you requested.

@sunjam Regarding the "share a source" thing, I might implement that later.

[fphammerle]

thanks for this awesome project!

option to enable last.fm scrobbling would be nice :) (to track what songs I am listening to and get recommendations on last.fm)

[icidasset]

@fphammerle Thanks! ☺️

That's a great suggestion, I will definitely consider this! Crazy that last.fm is still around, my first "scrobble" was like 11-12 years ago 😲

[icidasset]

Thanks for the suggestion @vpeace Might eventually add that, but very low on the priority list, seeing that this is primarily a music player.

[justicenode]

Add webdav storage for user layer, so I can use my nextcloud and have it synced across devices would be nice

[RMBLRX]

I would love support for plain-text playlist formats. For instance, XSPF is well-enough established and could even make use of IPFS hashes in lieu of (or in addition to) URLs. Another option might be JSON playlists or even YAML. (as to the latter, I've modified the approach a bit for my own purposes in order to add context to a given playlist)

Anyway, I think there's some opportunity for exploration here, and I'm very eager to see how you go about making it easier to share playlists.

Encrypted playlist and song support would be a nice addition for those that are privacy concerned and don't want others being able to see their playlist.

Selecting a song or playlist would prompt the user for a password, the password could be cached to open songs and playlists that require the same password.

Shared playback between devices (Apple only atm?): https://twitter.com/firt/status/1403411244116291584

[Rednaxela5]

May I request to add a feature to select all tracks to add into a playlist? It's time consuming for me to add one song at a time to a playlist.

[icidasset]

@Rednaxela5 Are you on mobile or desktop? If you're on desktop, you can select a range of items using the SHIFT key. So like, select one track (it'll be marked in bold) and then click another track while holding the shift key. It will then select both tracks and everything in between.

Thank you for the response. This is very useful.

[MitchellMcCain]

@icidasset forgive me if this functionality already exists, but I would like to provide user account creation/login access to my player. Is that possible or in the works?

[lanced4dragons]

If it would be possible, maybe store the start of the next track in some memory so that there's no pause between 2 back-to-back tracks?

[icidasset]

@lanced4dragons That should already be the case 🤔 Doesn't work on Safari/iOS though. I'll double check, tracking in #315

EDIT: 21 May 2022, now preloads on Safari/iOS too (v3.1.0, unreleased)
