Viridian (Ampache Front-end)

Check out my launchpad project Viridian (https://launchpad.net/viridianplayer). It is a python/pygtk front-end for Ampache (http://ampache.org)! It is a music streaming app that works with Ampache on the back-end.. You can check its site for the latest updates pertaining to Viridian by following the link below!.

  • Viridian caches and displays album art from Ampache in Viridian
  • Notify osd messages when a song changes or a song finishes downloading
  • Silent re-authentications to Ampache (if your session expires for whatever reason)
  • Close Viridian and have it continue running as a status icon
  • Seek/scrub songs being streamed
  • XMLRPC server for communicating with Viridian

  1. Love the approach and it works simply.

    It would be great to see it have a search facility for the catalogue, cant see one at the moment. As a family we have 20K tracks and manually scanning through is a pain, a quick track/album/artist search would be very helpful!

    Thanks for the work, much appreciated.

    • Thanks!

      Definitely the search thing is the next thing I will work on, as I have been getting a lot of requests for it!
