I am selfhosting Navidrome for sometimes but its lacks of support for multiple values really bugs me. Since I am having some free time, I’ve decided to write an opensubsonic server in rust (why rust? you guess). The notable features are:

  • In-memory transcoding with ffmpeg c api. Faster transcoding with no ffmpeg binary required and no need for pre-configurated transcoding profile.
  • Multiple values for artists/album artists/etc.
  • Permission models music folder per user.

It is still actively developped and lacks some Opensubsonic features (playlist/starr) and some external integrations like lastfm. However I would like to post it get some feedback about it.

Thank you very much!

    Hey what do you mean by multiple values?

    Eg

    since they support multiple values well enough.

      In the opensubsonic response there will be two fields for artist, one is artistid with only one artist (this is for compatible with old subsonic) and the other is artists with a list of artist ids. The server only sends back the list of artists ids and only these two clients read that field.

        Thanks. And so this is good for tracks with multiple artists? For filtering?
