Ahhh finally found a good way to get my speakers outta the way- hooked them on the bookshelf on the other side of the apartment to an old laptop, also on said bookshelf, ssh into it to run cmus or mpv etc. Ideal apartment audio.

@m0xee ugh i fixed the code, but lol it's actually incompatible with windows. i have so much audio-related software, i need to get on linux and do GPU passthrough at some point... all the laptops and vms are already on it. ah well, moc does folder playback nicely. · 7 months ago
As for directories, although my extensive collection is properly tagged and sorted, I still navigate it mainly using filesystem hierarchy, my workflow is something like this: switch to filesystem browser view with "5", select the directories I want and throw them into the playlist with "y", then I switch into playlist view with "3" and edit it further if I wish — then I play it.
When this playlist gets old, I ":clear" it and start over — I got used to this workflow and to me it's quite comfortable! · 7 months ago
I have found this web remote on GH and modified it a bit to suit my needs, here it is: https://github.com/ichier/cmus_app
I forgot what exactly I modified in it as I forgot to put it under version control from the get go, but it wasn't anything big — I think I just made it work with Python3.11 and up-to-date version of modules it uses.
I can of course compare the files I use to those on GH if you want, but I think you'll figure it out yourself.
It's lightweight enough to be running on an anemic machine with only half a gig of RAM and hosts a plethora of other things. I've put it behind nginx though — it's more responsive this way. · 7 months ago

cool setup! sounds like a winner. re: playing directories... why not just use mpv? : mpv /path/to/dir/* is pretty straightforward · 7 months ago
@m0xee i was wondering about a mobile interface implementation, but i'm not sure exactly how i'd do that without a buncha PHP i guess, blegh. i could technically do it with flask if i were to just use python... well, the apartment is tiny regardless, i don't *really* need a movable remote access.
btw, did you ever figure out how to have cmus actually play through DIRECTORIES without defaulting back to the regular view? hate to use MOC just for that. · 7 months ago
I use a similar setup, when I don't listen to CDs, my amp is plugged into a smol headless ARM computer, which runs cmus. But I have a tiny web-interface to control it from my phone too: only the bare minium, I see the title and position and I can play/pause, switch to next or previous track and control the volume — in most cases more than enough. And I can ssh into it to edit the playlist. · 7 months ago
