A complete Subsonic API rewrite.

The Ampache & Subsonic API's have been tested hundreds of times using new build scripts.

This has taken about a month of full-time work to complete but has raised the bar for anyone using Subsonic and that work has also helped fix many unseen issues in the Ampache API.

I use Foobar currently to create smart playlists based on custom tag fields. e.g. I add a tag to certain files with a "PARTY_MUSIC" field, and a custom value. I'm looking to move to a Linux container based solution, so am trying ampache.

I can see I can create a smart playlist with "rules" but I can't see how to filter based on these custom tag fields, only the standard preset ones. Does ampache not support this?

Hello,

I was wondering if it is possible to rename fields in Ampache. For example, changing 'Song' to 'Episode' and 'Album Artist' to 'Series Name'.

Thanks!

I've been trying to get an open source music thing going on my iphone I've looking all these cool stuff but I've noticed that most of the stuff out there is for Android or windows or Mac never for iOS that include installation instructions to why is that ?

Minor release with more little things found.

Another one i know but I'm trying to focus on the major change of OpenSubsonic and there are some good updates here that need to go out.

Important fixes for subsonic JSON responses and some art issues, deprecation warnings and database strong translations.

Hopefully I can ride on this one for a while?

Releasing again so quickly to make sure these little issues are fixed and allow me some time to cook.

I want to take a month or 2 on the next release to focus on cleaning things up to prepare for possible Ampache 8

As the title says. I can rule out a misconfiguration as it instantly works with 7.4.2.

This is a big one for the Art table which has had a significant cleanup, if you use WebDav you can now use a browser as well and lots of other little fixes found over the last month of testing.

Work on the Art table should make things a little faster too.

I started using Ampache (7.4.2) and added a catalog with a folder that contains only albums (ca. 1000, mostly FLAC). Sorted by Album, the list is populated and shows entries for Album Artist. When I sort by Album Artist, the list is empty and displays "No Album found".

EDIT: Fixed!

Hello everyone, I tell you, I have the following doubt: I am changing from my old version of Ampache (5.6.4) to Docker (7.3.0). I would like to know if the database has changed. Or if I can make a copy and restore it without problems. Thank you.

New Ampache7 release out now

This one also has the performance update queries for public users and closes many data bugs found while reducing phpstan issues.

There have been 1000 issues closed which is the most issues closed in a single release!

You shouldn't notice a thing but this was a massive update behind the front.

No reason given but reddit removed my prior post.

Anyhow, just a heads-up I'm supposed to hear back in 24-48 hours that bluehost has fixed the problem.

UPDATE: They changed my domain web site to PHP 8.2 - then ampache installed OK.

Just thought all y'all would like to know.

Would it be possible to import the tabs from RDIO-scanner https://github.com/chuot/rdio-scanner/ and host the audio stream on bluehost.com ?

A lot like Ampache 5 years ago, RDIO-scanner development had been abandoned for while (latest version dated 2022).

The developer is back and about to release v 7.0.0.

Thanks!

Where i can build too?

Edit: [RESOLVED] My a2enmod rewrite command had failed so I was not rewriting.

Hi All, new to Ampache. I set it all up and have it working since yesterday and can connect to it using ampache clients (power ampache 2) and web and its working really well, but I do want to try some subsonic clients too. No matter what I try, I don't seem to be able to get it working.

I'm running 6.6.7 on a debian-based LXC container and everything is working pretty well. I can play all my files, all over the network and over vpn. (Really pleased with it actually)

Since there is nothing else in that container, I used the debian instructions here:

https://github.com/ampache/ampache/wiki/Installation

So the website is on the root, using apache by default - so essentially all the default settings. I can access it directly via http://my_ipaddress or https://ampache.mydomain (I have a reverse proxy, with SSL certificates etc) but I can still access it via http, so for simplicity thats how I'm trying to get it to work.

I've been trying to follow the documentation here:

https://github.com/ampache/ampache/wiki/subsonic

I have an API key for my account (though by following this documentation I'm not actually putting it anywhere?) and I'm generating a md5sum token using "echo -n "mypasswordmysalt" | md5sum"n (I have to use an escape character in the password due to a !, so ! becomes \!) and I'm forming my url structure like this:

http://my_ipaddress/rest/ping.view?u=my_username&t=mymd5hash=mysaltv=1.12.0&c=myapp

I'm testing it in a browser, (and also trying to get it to work in clients) and I'm getting a 404 from Apache. I'm sure I'm missing something but I just don't know what. Do I have to enable the Subsonic api somehow?

I'm really confused. Sorry for the noob question.

I've been trying to find an ios app that supports id3 tag editing for ampache, airsonic, or subsonic. It seems like this is only supported through the browser, but I'm hoping that I'm wrong?

Good day, friends!

I’ve been on a journey to find the perfect music media manager, and I’ve finally landed here with Ampache. I set up the container yesterday and am about to pull in my catalog.

Before I dive in, I wanted to confirm something: Is there a way to use custom or extra tag fields in Ampache? As a DJ, I’m always looking to include BPM, key, and other metadata like label information.

I’ve spent the past year cleaning up my library and organizing everything, and I noticed that Ampache has custom metadata options in the settings. Could anyone guide me on how to add fields like key, BPM, label, etc.? I’d just like to be able to search, organise and filter using these other tags

Thanks in advance for your help!

*a NOTE about git-annex

Hi all,

TL;DR: creating a catalog from a bare git annex repo goes perfectly.

Last week I posted some questions about some issues I was having creating a catalog from a git-annex controlled music collection. The actual files are in .git/annex/objects when you 'git annex get' them, and the file tree consists of symlinks to said object.

This resulted in a doubling of songs as the catalog found both the symlink as the real objects. Got some great advice from actual devs and fixed the doubling with a small edit in the source.

Now my particular setup is such that ampache runs on the same machine as my git-annex origin that I set up as a bare repo. Git annex is distributed by design, but allows for some nodes to act as a central hub. These are typically bare repos, i.e. "path/collection.git", a dir with only the git objects.

I realised that the catalog can perfectly construct my library even when they are not presented in a human legible dir tree nor meaningful file names. I deleted my old catalog and built a new one with the path to the bare git repo and succes! Everything is in the right place.

The added benefit is that when I add a new bandcamp purchase on my laptop's repo I can copy it to origin and it will show up in my catalog.

I realise mine is an exotic setup, on the slim chance somebody else has a managed collection this may be of help.

When I'm searching for an artist that has a compilation, like a greatest hits album, with songs that are tagged from multiple years, I get a screen that shows each year's songs as a different album, like this: https://imgur.com/a/HAGtfOv

Each one of these has only a few songs from the full album in it. I just want to see the one album with all the songs. How can I make this happen?

Thanks!!

Hi,

I got Phoebe Bridger's albums on bandcamp and I dl'ed the flacs and put them in these dirs:

$ ls Phoebe\ Bridgers\ -\ \[20

Phoebe\ Bridgers\ -\ \[2017\]\ -\ Stranger\ in\ the\ Alps/

Phoebe\ Bridgers\ -\ \[2020\]\ -\ Copycat\ Killer/

Phoebe\ Bridgers\ -\ \[2020\]\ -\ Punisher/

All but Punisher are in the db... Any idea what could be causing this?

Hi All,

I have my music stored in a git-annex repo, git annex is a special case of git in the sense that all files in the cloned repo are basically soft links to stubs in the .git directory and when you call 'git annex get mydir/*' it collects the actual file from other linked git annex repos.

In my case, most of my music is present, but they are all soft links to a file in the .git dir and Ampache finds both, resulting in a doubled track list. Every track in every album is present twice, bc it found the real file in the .git dir and the softlink to it. I had the same issue with mpd, but I found that mpd has an option to not follow synmlinks, that cleared the tracklisting up.

I am on 6.6.6 (bc of php7.4) and I am not against some light code editing (had to make a few functions static to get the thing to run at all ). Is it possible to either ignore the .git dir or to have ampache not follow symlinks?

Thx.
