I've just finished up version 1.2.2 for Auditorium - a fast local music player powered by Ratatui.
Since my last update, I've added a few new fun features:
- Optional MPRIS support to allow global access to the underlying music player (pause, play, seek, view album art, and more from your desktop environment!)
- Album/track sorting based on track number metadata
- Switched from FfProbe to ID3 crate for huge load time decreases
- Optional cover art display
- Made lots of efficiency tweaks to take down CPU usage to < 2% while still running at 60 fps (fast TUI is a good TUI)
Lots of things I still would like to add (and a few issues already underway), so I hope to find time to improve more when I can.
Cheers
IDK know the answer, but I don't think I've ever seen an application that didn't work on a mounted share. Not sure an application can tell the difference. I see autofs comes with a "/etc/auto.smb" file on Debian, though I only use NFS on Linux, so I'm not sure on the exact details for setting it up.
actually databases have problems, sqlite and more advanced too, because precise enough file locking is usually not implemented for network filesystems
Good point. I remember a long time ago encountering a problem with Access shared over samba, because the system time of the "server" was off (bad mobo battery). I also found that the mechanical engineers were running Limewire on the server. (I was just working a summer job doing metal fab work, and they new I just started tech school for IT and asked me to look at it).
Thanks for the reply, I kinda figured it'd "just work" but I didn't wanna put the time into compiling it for my machine if I didn't have at least a second opinion
