Comment on Tempus v4.6.0 android subsonic client
SpatchyIsOnline@lemmy.world 4 days agoThanks for the recommendation, it certainly seems like an interesting project, although it’s current capabilities are almost backwards from what I actually want. My current workflow is:
- Listen to my library in Navidrome via Feishin/Tempus
- Scrobble my listens to ListenBrainz
- ListenBrainz generates my weekly recommendations playlist (things not in my library)
- I listen to the playlist on the ListenBrainz site via YouTube embeds
- Any songs I like, I download high quality FLAC files of
using slskdby buying legitimately
Just being able to see my recommended songs in Tempus would remove some of the barrier of having to log in to ListenBrainz every week (which I often push to the bottom of my to-do list and end up missing recommendations). I don’t even really need to stream them directly in the app, just being able to see them and open the YouTube link would be a good start.
I get that this might be a bit of a niche way of doing things and everyone will have a slightly different idea though, I don’t really expect my exact personal workflow to be catered for by open source devs.

Seeing the recommendations in your Subsonic player (even the ones you don’t have in your library) currently works with last.fm auto-generated “playlists” (stations, as they call them). Streaming them is broken but easily fixable, I just haven’t gotten around to it.
YouTube links in the player would probably need updates to the OpenSubsonic specification and support on clients/servers - but I don’t really see why someone would want this if you could just stream those without leaving the player.
I’m working on a big update (multi-user support which required reworking almost everything, haha…) that’s been blocking me from doing basically anything else. After that goes live somewhere around January-February (along with updated yt-dlp which will fix streaming stuff from YouTube) one of the priorities will be implementing Bandcamp auto-search. This will allow better matching for last.fm recommendations and also matching non-library tracks for ListenBrainz.
