No client for Android TV as far as I can tell

#14I live Ampache - but I've still not found a good mobile / Android client for it. The core server is great at cataloguing my music and streaming it to the browser, but I'm struggling on mobile playback. Any one found a good player?
Have you tried dSub? It's a subsonic client but it works when you enable the subsonic api in Ampache.
Tomahawk is an interesting one, but is missing a little for me.
Honestly, I use foldersync to just d/l newly added music from my server on a routine basis and rely on dSub for when I've added something that hasn't synced.

I still don't feel like I have a complete solution for this. You can use Plex or any subsonic client with Ampache as the backend but it doesn't seem perfect, or near-perfect, to me.

#16saw this and immediately upvoted b/c i really want something a lot like this.
went to github and realized i won't use it b/c it's implemented in PHP, i probably don't want exactly what this is, and i don't want to edit/debug PHP (not on my own time, anyway).
is that myopic? anyway, that was my honest, off-the-cuff response to the post.

Do you refuse to use any website written in PHP? How do you manage to have a normal internet life in the year 2015?

I don't use ruby, but that wouldn't prevent me from using gitlab.

There's plenty of websites that don't run on PHP though? StackOverflow runs on ASP .NET, Twitter ran on Rails at one point, now it's partially a mix of things but some of it is in Scala I suppose, plenty of major sites don't run off of PHP. PHP isn't impossible to use or anything, but it's not the only solution. Everyone should use whatever they're comfortable using. Edit: So long as what they're comfortable using does the job correctly and effectively.

Ruby is not anywhere near the same ballpark in terms of the widespread (ir)rational disregard of running anything PHP... especially on our dear-to-heart hand-crafted linux systems... in terms of both security, maintainability, and also the general perception of poor code quality of these OSS projects.
While Ruby might not be well respected among the experienced and snobbish elite programmer class, it hardly instills anything close to the negative reactions that PHP has managed to cultivate over the years.
