Nice work! I personally use ownCloud (which has Ampache support) for my streaming of my library, but this is a really nice job. I might see how hard it is to integrate into ownCloud :)

Let me know how you go! I use ownCloud/Ampache too.

For anyone interested I made something similar for iOS. Supports Dropbox, Google Drive, Mega, and Box. http://vibe.pw/

For the love of possible users, put some sort of scrolling indicator on the page. Firefox in OS X doesn't show scroll bar. I spend about a minute clicking on the slant phone and the name in the top right before accidentally causing the page to scroll down.

Thanks for the info. I never really considered running my own but that might be worth doing.

There's also a really great Android app called DSub that integrates really well with it ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=github.daneren... )

Is it better than the "Subsonic" Android app [1]? Just looking at the screenshots of DSub is that it doesn't look as good as the Subsonic Android app.

disappointed. Single-page app relies on flash technology.

When I was working on the YouTube integration for CloudTunes (looong time ago), there wasn't an HTML5 based API. Is there one nowadays?

YouTube now defaults to using the element unless the video would show an advertisement. In those scenarios, it falls back to using the flash player.

Hey,

This is really nice. Would you mind chatting with me sometime? I'd love to pick your brain or even just converse with someone who has similar interests. I've spent the past two years developing Streamus, https://streamus.com/, an open-source music player which runs off of YouTube as a browser extension; it has 130,000 users currently.

Hit me up if you want to chat! admin@streamus.com and if you'd like to browse the repo, https://github.com/MeoMix/StreamusChromeExtension

Could I integrate this with my server cough seedbox cough

It's probably easier to use Subsonic for that, it's build for dealing with local files. [0] http://www.subsonic.org/

I've tried to use subsonic and madsonic (a fork of subsonic) before. I didn't like either of them much nor did I like the phone apps to accompany them (many are paid apps as well). I'm gonna look at this project tomorrow and see if I want to undertake a server port. I think it would be viable.

Agreed, the mobile apps are mostly ugly or abandoned and the server software itself still uses a flash player. It's just something I put up with because there's no better alternative at the moment.
