Apps - is Substreamer open source? about airsonic-docs HOT 20 CLOSED

Oh forgot to mention, it isn’t open source but it is free

from airsonic-docs.

It's really unfortunate that there doesn't seem to be any public documentation or website or anything for Substreamer. The original website has been dead for more than a year, and nothing has replaced it. I tried it out a while back and gave up on it because it was buggy and lacked features, and there was no place to report bugs or find documentation or anything.

Just my $0.02, but it doesn't seem very actively maintained if after a year and a half of "new website and bugtracker coming" there's still nothing. To me that sounds like a dead project, and because it is closed source, that means no one else can contribute or pick up the maintenance and development, which is sad.

Hi all,

Substreamer is still actively maintained, the website is being refreshed and will be back shortly as well.

I have actually just started work on a big refresh to the UI and experimenting with adding some new functionality for audio control.

@4oo4 a public issue tracker is a good idea. I’ll setup a project with issues enabled on github and link it off the new website as well. Always happy to receive feedback and fix things, add features etc.

I don’t have any intention to open source it while I am actively maintaining it, if I ever hit a point where I don’t have the time or inclination to maintain it any more I would make make it open source at that time though so someone else could take over

@jvoisin yeh I have been meaning to deal with the web site, just life getting in the way...

@ghenry22 Open a new ticket once your website is back and everything is up-to-date. This ticket has been open for way too long and has not been given enough attention from both parts.

from airsonic-docs.

For those of you who are interested major release just went out to both app stores and new website is up and running. Took longer than I expected but life sometimes gets in the way :)

@ghenry22 Thanks for the clarification. I can't tell you what to do with your code, but it would be really nice if this was open sourced some day, I would love to participate in its development, I'm guessing there are others who would too. At the very least, a public bug tracker would be extremely helpful, I had noticed a couple things I wanted to ask about.

@jooola I think maybe I confused the free/non-free listing of Airsonic apps, was that referring to no-cost or open source?

Cheers

Yes I think we should write an email to the dev to see what's going on.

If no answer I will remove his app from the documentation

from airsonic-docs.

I just looked at a version from the website from February 2017 and there was no link to the source code. Also found his github and there's no repo for it there either.

@ghenry22, if you're out there, let us know where things are at! Really love this app and would be sad if it's going unmaintained.

from airsonic-docs.

@4oo4 Yes it seems we need to add an extra column to specify the "Licence" of the software. I didn't build this page, but I'll try to add those extra informations !

@ghenry22 Hello, the website is still not up, should we remove your app from the list ?

from airsonic-docs.

@jooola Substreamer is still actively maintained and available, I just haven't had time to do anything with the website unfortunately. I will resolve that in the coming week. Should have some updates coming out soon as well with various small bug fixes, mostly related to changes with updated OS/Device features.

from airsonic-docs.

The website is still down, but the app is alive, but since we're only linking to appstore/playstore, I guess it's ok.

Substreamer has been removed from the apps list.

@eharris while there hasn't been a new release of substreamer for some time it generally works quite well for a large number of users and feedback sent through the app stores or email channels is actively responded to and fed into the development backlog.

I have been actively working on a major refresh that should come out soon and at that time I will also publish a new web site to accompany the release. It would be great if you could leave it on the list for the time being as it helps people find the app.

Alternatively I guess add it back on to the list when the new versions comes out.

@ghenry22 I was just looking at client apps again, and it seems that after more than 2 years of you claiming to be working on a new website that will be available "shortly", there is still no working website, no bug tracker, and no new release in over 3 years. I would again like to encourage you to open source it if you do not have time to maintain it. Thanks.

@ghenry22 Seems to still be the case in 2021. And the app is no longer working for me. Its the nicest looking client for android I can find and I would love help with the development. Seems a shame to let your hard work go to waste by not releasing it or asking for support.

from airsonic-docs.

@ghenry22 exciting news, but on both Android and iPad I'm seeing 111 Could not connect to server..... where can I open an issue as this is obviously not the right repo?

from airsonic-docs.

@jmccoy555 give the latest version a try, I have fixed a lot of issues with different server variations. If you still have issues or questions you can hit https://reddit.com/r/substreamer or contact [email protected]
