[Feature Request]: Bring back the chat feature in the now playing iFrame #382

What problem

Back when Subsonic was still usable, it had a built in chat feature underneath any now playing messages. I and the rest of my server used to use this to leave messages or song recommendations and other stuff that others would later see as the chat was persistent.

This was removed in airsonic advanced, don't know when but this social feature got removed outright.

Feature

So for this I have a couple ideas:

  1. Like in the welcome greeting, you can paste HTML code and it would display properly, so allow for a little window or something similar to paste your own code into, like for connecting to an IRC with your currect active username. Or similar.
  2. Or, like with Subsonic, self-contained shoutbox style with a refresh timer to update messages. Simple, but it works.
  3. A combination of this would also work, some toggle to insert your own HTML or any default solution.

There are probably ready-made solutions that can be pasted in where the old chatbox would have been.
