Hello community, today I want to present to you the work done on Tempo in recent months. This new version brings improvements to Android Auto, a first use of the OpenSubsonic API, synchronized song lyrics and the ability to customize the home screen.
As usual, Tempo is free and open source, by the community and for the community. You can follow the development on Github and you can download it from F-Droid as well.
If you appreciate the work put into Tempo, remember that you can star the project on Github or make a donation! It’s not much but it’s useful to help the project grow and give visibility to the app.
The OpenSubsonic project aims to extend and improve the classic Subsonic APIs in various ways: by adding new endpoints, clarifying existing APIs, or extending functionality. All while maintaining backward compatibility with the old APIs. Understanding whether the server supports the API, requesting the list of supported extensions and acting accordingly is the first step to integrating the OpenSubsonic API. Initial work was done with synchronized lyrics using an endpoint that does not exist in the classic version of the API but was introduced by OpenSubsonic.
Oh okay, so up until now it just supported SubSonic and now it supports both SubSonic and OpenSubSonic.
As a Navidrome host, will this benefit me?
Yes I use it. By far the best mobile app I’ve used with Navidrome and possibly the only one with lyric support.
