Description Mike Hommey 2006-04-22 10:30:36 UTC
I'd love to be able to run a daap server without needing X, and since rhythmbox
already deals with music database and stuff, it would be easier if it wouldn't
require to be a different piece of software.

Thus this feature request.
Comment 1 Michael 2006-05-30 11:56:33 UTC
Removing all the X dependancies to make a headless Rhythmbox would basically result in a "different piece of software" anyway. Have a look at mt-daapd (http://www.mt-daapd.org/). It works very well for me.
Comment 2 Andrew Conkling 2006-05-30 12:30:49 UTC
mt-daapd doesn't work with FLACs.
Comment 3 Mike Hommey 2006-05-30 19:10:33 UTC
I do use mt-daapd, but it has several flows. Anyway, a rhythmbox without X wouldn't be a totally "different piece of software". The database handling, the gstreamer backend usage, etc. would all be the same...

This is kind of what you want. It seems you basically want this with the ability to use the normal rhythmbox databases.

Except I'd pretty much appreciate if it would share the code base and libs with rhythmbox. So that bugs are fixed in both. So that the experience is the same.
