Ye, I hope we can get firefly’s development from the ground again. I recently graduated as Bachelor on software engineering, but started a new education this week to become Master.
Therefore I have little time to help, but I would love to. I guess we’ll have to determine a focus as to what point we should improve firefly.
For example, as said in this topic, we could focus on supporting as many devices as possible, attracting a bigger variety of people.
Or, for example, we could aim to get firefly to support video.I have managed to use the transcoding script to transcode nearly any video using ffmpeg to flv format, which can be streamed to an embedded flv player.
I wrote a php script which lists and parses all video’s from firefly, creating a list of video’s, making firefly able to stream video’s to the browser.Also, if we get uPnP working, I bet a lot more people would be interested aswell. Maybe even include DLNA support, if that is possible. (not sure what it is :))
Therefore, firefly’s possibilities are unlimited. It could really be so much more.
I’m very intrested in your transcoding scripts.
I have written a php frontend based on extjs and a lot of custom created ajax functions and complicated encryption options (logon and on-the-fly page encryption using aes).
It uses flash player to play music, on the fly creation of m3u playlists (needs improvement, is being worked on).
I also created a ‘proxy’ script. for fetching http item from mt-daapd http server including support for partial content (makes seeking possible in external apps using daap script i created like winamp, mplayer)
I’m willing to setup a demo if interested and share all the code i created which of course isn’t licensed in anyway (except extjs which is licensed for non-commercial use) and free for anybody who likes it for code or usage.
Let me know! 😉
Ontopic, i would be pleased if mt-daapd will be revived, i do not have the coding skills in c or c++ but i can do javascript, html, a little css, php and the usual stuff
