The current "Shuffle All" always includes all genres. We should provide a way to allow someone to take full advantage of the ability of Subsonic to shuffle a subset of songs based on genre and year.

We should do this while preserving the behavior of pressing "OK" to immediately Shuffle All. Perhaps use the info button to bring up a shuffle settings.

Provide support to playback video in addition to music.

Ideally, returning to the main screen would not interrupt audio playback. However, there are bugs in the roku firmware that break roGridScreen when there is an roAudioPlayer running in the background. Once roku fixes those issues we should implement background audio playback.

Use the getNowPlaying REST API to show a now playing list on the main screen

The first problem is that there is a size limit of 30 characters on the length of the server URL. Too short.

When I tried using the IP address instead, it still had problems ("Error connecting to server" or whatever the exact wording). This is to an HTTPS address and it may be sticking on the certificate, I don't know.

I'm able to use the original URL in a Subsonic app in Android.

Hi, as the Subsonic server is available in Canada, and it is used to serve material on one's personal computer, could you please tell Roku to make your channel available outside of the United States? Thanks!

I love the app and it's working great for playing playlists or music that shows up in the new or random categories, but when I attempt to browse music using the "All Music" function, there are issues.

I know that this is a known issue and that you currently support using \Artist\Album\Track folder structure, but can you possibly add support for the \Genre\Artist\Album\Track (or any desired folder structure)? This would be great as trying to organize all artists into one root folder makes managing a large collection difficult.

Thanks,

When playing Ogg music in Subsonic Roku app, it starts to play and about 30 seconds (or less, inconsistent), it stops and skips to the next song and continues up to 30 seconds or less and skips again.. MP3 native seems to work just fine, but 90% of my library is Ogg, self-ripped and I'm not interested in using MP3.

I've tried not using transcoding but the app doesn't support playback of Ogg itself. It would be great if it would. The hardware of the Roku 3 certainly supports it.

I think part of the problem is in the transcoding and lack of buffering causing the issue. Subsonic Roku app doesn't do any buffering so the moment it gets a blip of an error it skips to the next song. This could at least partially solve the problem if the Ogg support wouldn't be included in the app itself.

Use the setRating API to set ratings on artists, albums, and songs. Display ratings for items whenever possible.

Add support for podcasts using the podcast API

Add the ability to run in jukebox mode (using the jukebox API) instead of running the audio on the Roku.

Use the "scrobble" REST API when playing songs. A song should only be scrobbled if more than half it's duration is listened to.

Currently, the Shuffle All works by grabbing a list of random songs. When it reaches the end of the list is grabs another set. However, when on the very last song the "Next" button doesn't list a song title because the list had not yet been grabbed.

The following changes should be made:

• Fetch the next set of songs when only one song is remaining in the list
• On the "Show Queue" screen provide a psuedo-song at the end of the list called "Fetch More".

Currently we identify ourselves simply as "roku". If more than one roku is registered with the same username they will be treated as the same player by Subsonic.

Add the ability for the roku to create a playlist on the fly. For example, it should be possible to add an album or songs to the existing playlist.

I currently have a Roku 2 that is connected to my home network via a wired ethernet connection. I am running Windows Server 2012 R2, plex Media server and Madsonic Server 5.1 (via non-SSL). I have installed and configured the this subsonic-app on my Roku. the connection works as expected

The problem I am having I that I can't play music from Roku when I browse all artists. when I select browse, I get the expected list of artists that I can choose from... however when I click on an artist name, the roku change goes to "retrieving" and never starts playing the music.

The strange thing is if I go to a random album that is listed on the home-screen , it plays fine. I can also play music if I use the web interface from another, computer. any thoughts?
