Auto play

Added "Auto play" radio feature to web (enabled in queue), tui (enabled in preferences) and gtk (enabled in preferences)
This will automatically add similar tracks to your queue when it is empty.
This uses qobuz recommendation system, so it should be similar to the official qobuz feature

Disconnect

Added settings for connecting to a "Disconnect" server (my little self-hostable Connect server) in TUI and gtk app. Read more

If setup a Connect button will show in the GTK app, or a shortcut (c) will be available in the TUI for selected output device.

I have called the UI features for just generic Connect. In the future, Qobuz Connect will be able to provide the same interface and i will be able to re-use the UI.

Disconnect

This release brings a self-hostable Connect feature called "Disconnect".

You can host the server yourself, or you can use my public at: https://qobine-disconnect.sofusconnect.addington.dk
Please don't abuse it 😄

Currently only the RFID and the web projects are supported. Support for the TUI and the GTK players are coming.

How to use:

When running the web or rfid project provide the following flags:

      --disconnect-device-name <DISCONNECT_DEVICE_NAME>
          Disconnect device name
      --disconnect-password <DISCONNECT_PASSWORD>
          Disconnect password
      --disconnect-server-url <DISCONNECT_SERVER_URL>
          Disconnect server url

eg: qobuz-player-web --disconnect-device-name livingroom --disconnect-password very-secret --disconnect-server-url https://qobine-disconnect.sofusconnect.addington.dk

Now when you open the web ui, you will be able to see a music note icon, where you can select all running clients (web or rfid) with the same password.

Why not Qobuz connect?

Good question.

I am still interested in using the official Qobuz Connect, but the protocol is undocumented, and generally not fun.
But most of the improvements done here is required for Qobuz Connect to control, activate and deactivate a player (client).

Qobuz Connect would also allow us to use the official smartphone app for controlling.
I personally don't use the official app, so this is not compelling for me.

Feedback

Please please give this a try and give me feedback.
I found building this quite fun and learning.

And as always feel free to provide feature requests or contributions.
I always prefer issues before pull requests.

Changes

New discover pages

This release includes a bigger re-work of the Discover pages.
UX and data is now closer to how the Qobuz web player.

Added "file base streaming" option

This option is enabled in preferences in the GTK app or as flags in the other apps.
This changes the streaming to use the Qobuz partner endpoint for streaming.
This has been broken for some time, but Qobuz has recently fixed it.

To a normal user, this should not change anything. But audio from this endpoint is not encrypted making it easier on the cpu on older or smaller cpu chips.
