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.
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
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).
