SubsonicUpdate Plugin¶
subsonicupdate
is a very simple plugin for beets that lets you automatically
update Subsonic’s index whenever you change your beets library.
To use subsonicupdate
plugin, enable it in your configuration
(see Using Plugins).
Then, you’ll probably want to configure the specifics of your Subsonic server.
You can do that using a subsonic:
section in your config.yaml
,
which looks like this:
subsonic:
url: https://example.com:443/subsonic
user: username
pass: password
auth: token
With that all in place, beets will send a Rest API to your Subsonic server every time you import new music. Due to a current limitation of the API, all libraries visible to that user will be scanned.
This plugin requires Subsonic with an active Premium license (or active trial).
Configuration¶
The available options under the subsonic:
section are:
url: The Subsonic server resource. Default:
http://localhost:4040
user: The Subsonic user. Default:
admin
pass: The Subsonic user password. (This may either be a clear-text password or hex-encoded with the prefix
enc:
.) Default:admin
auth: The authentication method. Possible choices are
token
orpassword
.token
authentication is preferred to avoid sending cleartext password.
