The major thing keeping me from self-hosting my music is that I mostly discover music by using the radio function in ViMusic (Uses the YT Music API to stream music) or by finding a song through friends, social media, etc. and then listening to it in ViMusic to see whether it’s good and I want to add it to my playlist.
Not having the radio function wouldn’t be that big a deal but having to wait for a song to download before being able to listen to it could be very annoying, depending on the situation.
So my question is: Is there some way to have a Subsonic server where I’m able to search for any song from a client and have the server stream it from something like YT Music when it’s not downloaded?
I know this isn’t an answer to your question, but - ViMusic has a radio function? Where?
Click on the 3 dots in the bottom right corner while in the music player view and the top option is “Start radio”
I haven’t tried, but you might be able to add a YouTube server in Symfonium
I have no idea, but I’m commenting so this gets traction. I’ve wanted to do the same thing, but didn’t know how you could set up the subsonic api to do that. I think a script that checked for the file first wouldn’t be a problem, but getting the metadata for all of those would be terrible
