A Music Player - simple server for playing music on a device, controlled using client applications.
The server uses gRPC as the RPC protocol for accessing server data and adding music folders etc.
Protobuf files can be found in grpc/protos folder. C++ and C# files have already been generated but one can easily compile protobuf files for other languages using protoc compiler and provided plugins.
In the clients/ directory there are a few client examples:
- ampcli - planned for implementation, .NET Core CLI client for the srver
- AMPClient-UWP - UWP WinUI 3.0 client - currently in development
Android app is also planned for addition.
Project uses vcpkg as the library manager. Libraries needed to build the project are:
- grpc/grpc - used for server RPC API
- nlohmann/json - C++ json library
- taglib/taglib - may be replaced later, used for audio metadata reading
- FFmpeg/FFmpeg - used for reading and decoding audio / video files
- jtv/libpqxx - C++ postgresql client library
- mackron/miniaudio - used for audio playback
As for the system requirements, there should exist a postgresql server which can be used for the database. The server uses the AMP database and the user named amp_admin with the same password.
Database uses the following ER model:
ER model is open to changes (for example adding more metadata for the track, more artist data, more tables and relationships etc). The server is built with a plan that each of the database fields can be retrieved through some gRPC service.
