CARE AND FEEDING OF YOUR STREEME

See the manual file in the Wiki - it's bound to change a lot

In case the wiki is unavailable, here's a short guide

Loading your media library

this can be done from the commandline in the project dir You will need to fill out your app.yml with watched folders or an itunes path (note: on windows, the symfony command is php symfony instead of ./symfony)

cd path/to/streeme

./symfony scan-media --type=itunes OR ./symfony scan-media --type=filesystem

Getting art for your music can be done in the following ways

from ID3 tags ./symfony scan-art --source=meta

from Amazon's PAS system for amazon associates ./symfony scan-art --source=amazon

from folders that the mp3s live in ./symfony scan-art --source=folders

keep in mind that support for other music and list formats is an ongoing battle this doc may be horribly out of date already :) You should run these scripts every so often so Streeme stays up to date.

Creating a user


you should create a user for each device you'll use with streeme to do that it's back to the commandline

./symfony guard:create-user username password

Logging in

When you log in, you'll be presented with a few options -Mobile player -Desktop player -Logout

The mobile player is optimized for a touch screen interface and the desktop player is optimized for features and bigger screen sizes.

both players offer options for transcoding / modifying bitrate in their settings - please install FFMPEG if you would like to use these features for low bandwidth connections or changing formats.

How to use the player

If you've done everything right, you should see your content properly scanned and ready to use. the mobile player is navigated by tapping on albums, artists, songs, playlists, genres etc. HTML5 is very much in its infancy, so not all mobile players have the prescribed controls. The buttons beside the album art skip tracks and tapping the album art will pause and play. when the || symbol appears, the playback is paused. Press it again to resume playback. Playlists created in the desktop app can be used in the mobile app.

The desktop player has different actions for single and double clicks. a double click on the song table will begin playing alternatively, you can press the single play button to the left of the song name. The RND button will shuffle the songs and the forward and previous buttons will skip tracks.

Searches in either interface will return search results including all text columns of the table.

Building playlists

The desktop player has the ability to form playlists. the little + symbols next to your music items will add the songs, albums and artists to your selected playlist. To select a playlist click the folder icon in the top right, select add playlist and click it once to select it. It will turn a faint blue when active. You will now be able to add songs to the playlist. You can easily change the active playlist by single clikcing on any playlist in the list. To play back the playlist, you can click the play symbol or double click the playlist list entry.
