Is there an any FOSS application that allows streaming of lossless audio torrents, or just audio in general ?
Is there an any FOSS application that allows streaming of lossless audio torrents, or just audio in general ?
I'm thinking of something like stremio but for audio.
An android app would be great
There are apps like Spotube which are cool but it doesn't have ability to stream lossless audio.
Any suggestions ?
Dont stream it, download ur music and use something like navidrome
Jellyfin does.
Symfonium is a great Android client that works with Jellyfin and it lets you choose if you want transcoded or original audio from the server.
May I add, I also use Symfonium, it's the best one by far, but it isn't open source as OP is asking.
That said, the Dev is a good guy, and the app has 1 month free trial (without asking for credit card or anything)
It's 5,49 I believe, single payment. Totally worth it.
Streaming is a continuous service. If you want that, you may actually want to consider one of the commercial options.
You could download the music and self-host a Navidrome server or something similar.
You could even do it like me and have Navidrome server in your pocket. It's natively available in Termux, so I can stream music from my phone on LAN.But that depends on your library size.
Also... many memory cards seem to have terrible random access speed (and sadly that's something you can't know before buying it), so the initial scan may take a few minutes.have you tried sequential download ? I don't know if it works for audio but it works for video so maybe...
The others are right. Trying to stream from a torrent seems wasteful and complex.
But if you must for some strange reason, perhaps it would work to use webtor.io to produce an http-reachable audio file which could be curl/wget-fetched and piped to an audio decoder/player. I doubt you could make webtor fetch pieces linearly from the beginning. You would likely have to wait until the last piece is fetched to start streaming.
webtorrent desktop(not that webtorrent can only stream torrents and not even bind to a interface
This is the big thing keeping me on a subscription music service.
