@TheZupZup@mastodon.social I finally managed to configure my Navidrome instance and were able to give Linthra a try from F-Droid I have to say, not bad at all, I'm using it as I type One bug (possibly?) that I noticed is that it didn't fetch the album/tracks' covers from my Navidrome, it shows the default track image, no idea whether it's a configuration or even connection issue on my end (I'm on a poor connection rn), but it's been a while and even after a sync and app restart it didn't show anything Also, another feature I think that's missing is being able to select multiple tracks and perform actions on them, e.g., download them all at once For the rest, it's pretty cool, I think I'll stick around and use this for my new Navidrome setup, keep up the work!

@TheZupZup@mastodon.social A few other things: - I'm listening to #darksideofthemoon, an album that's mostly enjoyed without breaks between tracks. Even if I saved them all for offline play, Linthra causes a very small delay between tracks, if you could make it more seamless it'd be amazing - In my setup, I'm using Yubal (https://github.com/guillevc/yubal) to download tracks to my Navidrome server. You basically paste a YTM URL and it downloads the playlist or track with yt-dlp, then organizes it with beets. It has a browser extension too that quickly allows you to start a download job from a YTM page, so I assume it has an API. It would be really cool to integrate it in the app, e.g., by having a section that simply allows to paste a YTM URL and sends the download to a configured Yubal instance, maybe showing the progress too. Shouldn't be too much of a challenge I think, and it would be a great addition for users like me that rely on it. Still, it's is a pretty personal request to be fair - I know it's an early beta and it's not the main concern, but some theming or customization options would be cool in the future - Home screen widget when?? (Again, cool idea to implement in the future) - Is it cool if I keep posting these requests and bug findings here or is there a better place for me to do so? Lol Expect a LOT of requests from me 😂
