Supported features by media providers

Symfonium is a feature-rich application with a wide range of capabilities.

The app supports numerous media providers as sources for music, but not all providers can deliver the same amount of data or features via their APIs.

This post aims to showcase the features that each provider supports (or does not support).

Any features not listed in this chart should be supported by all providers.

Notes:

• *:Not all Subsonic or OpenSubsonic servers provides all the functions (See OpenSubsonic or your server website)
• *: Symfonium as OpenSubsonic initiator support all the OpenSubsonic additions that are relevant to Symfonium. (So currently all of them)
• **: Requires full sync enabled for Plex
• ***: Transcoding is done on the phone as the server does not support transcoding, this allow playing incompatible medias, but not reducing bandwidth usage if your network is slow.
