webamp v1.5.0

Ampache Web Interface

Ampache web interface to make browsing, and playing your music a simple task

NOTE: This is still a work-in-progress!!

Installation

This is meant to be installed as a command-line utility

npm install -g webamp

Usage

Create the necessary config file by running

~$ webamp --init

This will create a json file at ~/.webamp/config.json that will be used to configure the local webserver settings, as well as store the ampache credentials.

~$ webamp
Server running at http://localhost:8076/

[Sat Aug 11 2012 00:15:52 GMT-0700 (PDT)] [GET] request received from 127.0.0.1 for /api/artists/7/new

Configuration

After running webamp --init you can view the configuration file at ~/.webamp/config.json

{
  "ampache": {
    "debug": false,
    "ping": 600000,
    "user": "user",
    "pass": "pass",
    "url": "http://example.com:1234/ampache/server/xml.server.php"
  },
  "web": {
    "host": "localhost",
    "port": "8076"
  }
}

Options

Most of the options are self explanatory

• ampache.debug: (Optional) Enable debug messages for Ampache module
• ampache.ping: (Optional) The time in milliseconds to between sending ping requests to Ampache (default: 10 minutes)

API

The design goal is that a request to / will return a nice looking web page, with all your music in a nice, easy to navigate format. All interactions on that page will use Ajax to hit the server at /api/... to pull JSON with relevant information.

Routes

/api/artists, /api/albums, /api/songs

Return an array of all of the artists/albums/songs in the cache (which is populated when the program starts)

/api/artists/:id, /api/albums/:id, /api/songs/:id

Return an object for the relevant song/album/artist by id in the cache

/api/artists/:id/new, /api/artists/:id/new, /api/artists/:id/new

Same as above, but force the info to come from Ampache and not the cache
