Automatically synchronise play queue with server

Feature requests
1

Feature description:

I’m using Navidrome as server (which I configured using the Subsonic as provider type).

The Subsonic API provides endpoints for getting and updating the current play queue which is used by a few players like Supersonic I’m using on the Desktop.

It would be nice if Symfonium could also synchronize the current play queue with the server so I can continue listening to my music where I left even after switching devices.

Problem solved:

This would allow me to continue listening to my music where I left even after switching devices.

Brought benefits:

Just the same as already described before: This would allow me to continue listening to my music where I left even after switching devices.

Other application solutions:

 
Supersonic has support for that: GitHub - dweymouth/supersonic: A lightweight and full-featured cross-platform desktop client for self-hosted music servers

The queue is synchronized to the server on application quit and retrieved again on start.

In case of Symfonium, it might be better to synchronize periodically (e.g. every few minutes or on stop/pause/changing track).

Loading the queue from the server could be implemented to trigger it once the application gets opened and maybe using external triggers (i.e. Tasker).

Symfonium is multi provider so this is not really an option specially with the limited Subsonic APi.

Hello there, I was looking for info on this, and I don’t understand your answer as 1. OpenSubsonic endpoints do exist for getting/saving play queue to/from the server, and 2. Symfonium already supports server-specific features not available with every providers (audio analysis for auto DJ).

Being able to save and get the play queue from server even manually would be great to make multi-device experience more “Spotify like”, Feishin (desktop client I use) is already able to get/save play queue from server.

EDIT: I realized your “multi provider” objection might refer to users using and playing from multiple providers simultaneously? If so, “just” (I know…) disable sync options when relevant or warn play queue saved will only contain songs from the server on which the queue is saved ?

I’m just in the process of migrating from spotify to my own personal library and stumbled upon this same missing feature :smiley:. I find it pretty funny that we both stumbled upon this 8 month old thread at the same day.

I already bought Symfonium yesterday and this is one of the bigger paintpoints for me, especially when listening to music on desktop, laptop and smartphone. Queue synchronization to switch from one client to the other is a very nice QoL feature and it’s surprisingly annoying to switch clients with it missing.

If multi-provider setups are an issue, I would love to see this work for single-provider setups (I host/get all of my music myself)
