lechuga Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Hello, I wish they could add the function: - Use FTP server as music source. - Manage files of a music source via local FTP server. Thank you very much! Regards Link to comment https://forum.powerampapp.com/topic/8654-ftp-server-as-music-source/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 If it's a local server (NAS for example) you could map it onto your device's filesystem using CIFS, that should be scanable by Poweramp then.

flyingdutchman Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Trouble with this approach is that you would need to have your server connected all the time. Each time it disconnects/connects, android and Poweramp will kick off a rescan and update (add/delete) its music database. Any playlists created with a mounted drive would not survive this process. However, creating smb playlists using my app would work fine if Poweramp was able to play these. This is a requested feature so who knows.....

I have all my music stored in a USB 3 Samba HDD connected to the router (it's always online), but can't access it with Poweramp Regards, Javier On 22/3/2016 at 8:32 AM, lechuga said: Hello, I wish they could add the function: - Use FTP server as music source. - Manage files of a music source via local FTP server.

lechuga Posted March 30, 2016 Author Share Posted March 30, 2016 I am currently using Neutron that allows me to connect to a router via FTP / SMB and access the library as if it were a folder more. Also I always prefer Poweramp but until we have an update that allows me access via FTP / SMB have to use Neutron. Hopefully soon they can include that function. Thank you very much for your help, greetings. Link to comment https://forum.powerampapp.com/topic/8654-ftp-server-as-music-source/#findComment-32456 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul-LH Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 I would also love to see this feature to play music off my network drive. Link to comment https://forum.powerampapp.com/topic/8654-ftp-server-as-music-source/#findComment-32893 Share on other sites More sharing options...
