Curious as to why you aren't hosting this on github? I would have loved to star it and then come back later.
your web browser might have a feature similar to the github "star", called a bookmark.
But I wanna pay the repo some karma.
Serve Your Music Collection Using HTML5, Backbone, and Flask

Re: Serve Your Music Collection Using HTML5, Backbone, and Flask
#62Sadly this link doesn't seem to work anymore. The about-page is broken?
But i had this open in a different browser some minutes ago and it seemed quite impressive. Especially the encoding on the fly, as that is something I experimented with on my own mini-project (https://github.com/onli/music-streamer, ruby with sinatra, plain html5-audio). I'll have a look at your code how you did it, but I wonder if that would work with a low-end homeserver (i'm targeting a pogoplug). On what hardware did you test that?
Re: Serve Your Music Collection Using HTML5, Backbone, and Flask
#63Wow, this is crazy because I'm working on a streaming music player of my own, also using HTML5, Backbone and Flask. (As well as Flask-SQLAlchemy and Mutagen, but those are obvious choices given Flask.) Congrats on shipping first. How long have you been working on this? I might actually use yours until my take on this is done. It certainly looks superior to Subsonic in every way. I'm still going to finish mine, becaus…
Crazily, I have also built a (rudimentary) similar project out of Flask, Backbone, and HTML5 audio (and Mutagen, of course). It's a piece of a larger music-management puzzle:
http://beets.readthedocs.org/en/1.0rc2/plugins/web.html
Anyway, zx2c4's project is obvious slicker than mine.
It's somewhat crazy that all the people on this thread saying "hey, me too" are only now finding each other. I think there are some pretty clear opportunities for collaboration here. In particular, I think it would be prudent to informally standardize a REST/JSON API for music collections so these tools can interoperable. (I'll send you email about this, zx2c4.)

Server was DoS'd. Back up now with a static cache.
I've got it working well on:

#65This is lovely - thanks a lot! I listen to a lot of foreign music and have had a hard time populating my zmusic database. There's a work-around (decode the relevant strings to Unicode) that seems to have worked but I have to leave for work before I'll be able to test this fully. I've never submitted a patch before and hope to use this as an opportunity to learn how to make one. I have a basic question, however: why d…
> I listen to a lot of foreign music and have had a hard time populating my zmusic database Oh noes! I too have lots of foreign music in my collection, and it seemed to work fine. I'm using the tagging framework out of MusicBrainz' Picard application, so things should be pretty flawless. I wonder what happened... Maybe the encoding system-wide needs to be set to UTF-8 so Python picks this up? If you email me more inf…
I ran into this problem as well. It seems that the filesystem paths should not contain non-ASCII characters. In my case, my music is stored in ~/Música and scan.py fails on every single audio file it finds.

Raspberry pi should be comparable. So it could work. Good to know and thanks, i'll have a try.

Re: Serve Your Music Collection Using HTML5, Backbone, and Flask
#69Really nice!
One thing that concerns me though is the CPU usage on the client machine. chromium uses roughly ~30% CPU on a 6-core AMD Phenom II running only zmusic. Anyone else seeing this too?

That's quite astounding, yikes. I have less than 1 percent of CPU usage with my Chromium. (Using latest dev channel, built from scratch with -march=native -O2 -fomit-frame-pointers -pipe.)
If there's high CPU usage, file a Chrome bug -- it's possibly do to some nastiness in their audio decoder.
