General Notes

This application is NOT secure

There are no user accounts. Preferences, config options, playlist entries, etc. will be saved client-side using the Local Storage API

Transcoding is not supported. Files are sent to clients as-is

Directories (and children) containing a .nomedia file are ignored

In Windows, the library scan/import and thumbnail generation scripts must be manually executed. The scripts must be passed the directories.txt file created by library.php for the -f/--directories-file argument, which must follow the -- argument so the PHP binary won't treat it as its own argument

Dependencies:

• php-mysql
• php-gd
  • Package name might have version info like php7.0-gd
• php-zip
• getID3
  • When looking at track metadata, only the first element in each array is analyzed
• mysql
  • Only tested with MariaDB v15.1, might not work with others

  • In Windows you must execute the script manually

  • In Windows you must execute the script manually
