Would it be possible to support Emby as media library source?, currently I centralize my music there and use a mobile app to consume it on the go (https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/108432-symfonium-music-player-and-cast-with-emby-support/) Would be awesome to have the option to play & maintain the library via Amarok on my laptop too. Documentation is public: https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby/wiki https://dev.emby.media/doc/restapi/Audio-Streaming.html
Thank you for the request! I think this would definitely be possible and a nice addition, if someone wanted to take up the project of developing such Internet service. E.g. Ampache collection plugin might provide some ideas on how to start working on such plugin. Not something I'm likely to start working on myself at the moment, but I'll definitely try to help if someone else wants to take a shot.
Created attachment 187078 [details] attachment-1734310-0.html Hi!, Time permitting, I would like to give it a shot. Should I just copy the ampache plugin and start from there?. Any hints on how to handle custom plugins?, it's just a self-contained file?.

The plugin folder under src/services/ is self contained, yeah, I think so. E.g. Ampache doesn't seem to be referred to anywhere else in code outside that dir except in src/services/CMakeLists.txt I haven't created any plugins myself, and only done some maintenance on the existing ones, and I couldn't find any related documentation resources either, so the existing ones are probably the best guides, Ampache being probably the most simple one, yeah. So copying src/services/ampache as src/services/emby (, stripping out Last.fm related files and any other extra functionality) and renaming Ampache* -> Emby* is probably a feasible starting point. CMakeLists.txt shows there that the actual plugin is built as amarok_service_ampache, and additionally the config page as kcm_amarok_service_ampache library. The json files required by the plugin system are also under src/services/ampache. The various files there implement the boilerplate for the service (AmpacheServiceFactory), collection (AmpacheServiceCollection) and how to access metadata from the specific collection (AmpacheTrack), in addition to config dialog parts. Hopefully you manage to get a hold of all! If there's any specific question, don't hesitate to ask, I'll try to answer as well as I can.
