SUB-BOX Subsonic web-based media streamer

**EliteXen** · February 4th, 2011, 01:42 PM

Public beta is currently open.
Repo: http://www.xenthony.net/boxee

I've had a bit of free time recently so I decided to get back into coding a Subsonic app for Boxee. It's coming along much quicker than I expected. So I wanted to post my progress and get some potential testers. PM me if you're interested in testing. I plan to give private access to my repository in the next week.

If you're not familiar with Subsonic, you really should check it out - http://www.subsonic.org

Currently completed items:

Login to multiple servers (local and remote)
Browse Media folders and playlists
Addressed music library bug allowing you to access subfolders
Stream audio content
Enable bitrate limiting
Implement now playing list within SUB-BOX
Implement Subsonic search
Delete playlists from subsonic server
Hijack Common_Now_Playing button
Support Lyric lookup
Save playlists to subsonic server

Pending items:

Stream video - maybe

I'll probably send the repo to those that are interested either this weekend or next depending on how busy I am.

EliteXen,

Hey this app looks great! I never heard of Sub-Box before but am definitely going to check it out. If you are looking for a repo to host your app let me know and we can set something up for you over at streamfree.tv!

Regards,
bioscript

Thanks bioscript, but I've already got a host for my repo.

Things are quickly progressing folks. I updated the completed item list in the first post. Also for all those that PM'd me to get in on the testing, make sure to include your email address. I'll be sending out a mass emaill with further instructions.

For those that are on the fence, keep in mind that this is a far better way to handle your music collection than Boxee's native implementation. It supports queueing, playlists, and much more. Even if you don't have the need for remote access to your music with subsonic, you can still run a subsonic server on your non-server computer. Then point SUB-BOX to the local address (127.0.0.1) to access and manage your collection.
