Symfonium can connect to your WebDAV servers and play, cast and offline cache your music from it.
Tags are parsed with Symfonium custom tag parser.
Tags are cached but extracting them will take some time and network ressources, it is recommended to add your provider when connected to wifi.
Add provider
Section titled “Add provider”
The wizard support many ways to enter your provider information to be able to connect and will try to figure out the proper parameters.
- Full url
You should enter the full connection url in the URL field.
In that case the field port must be left empty.
- IP and Port
Or you can just enter the IP and port of the provider and Symfonium will try to figure out the rest.
The port field, when filled, takes precedence over any port in the URL field.
As a reminder http port is 80 and https port is 443.
Support
Section titled “Support”
If you have problems configuring your provider press the Enable button in the support card, then try again to add your host.
After Symfonium shows the error message, press the send button to open your email client with attached logs and write a message so that I can help you.
All settings
Section titled “All settings”
To access all available settings for a provider, edit the provider after it has been added. (Settings → Manage media providers: Settings - Manage media providers)
Wifi only
Section titled “Wifi only”Enable this option to prevent Symfonium from accessing the server when not connected to Wi-Fi.
Scrape additional artists metadata
Section titled “Scrape additional artists metadata”Try to download artists images and biography from online sources.
Automatic image cache
Section titled “Automatic image cache”Enabling this option will cache all media images locally on your device after each sync. However, it can also use up storage space on your device and potentially drain your battery faster if you have a large library with many images. It’s recommended to use this option if you have enough storage space available on your device and don’t mind the potential battery drain. If you have limited storage or battery life, it may be better to disable this option.
Automatic media offline cache
Section titled “Automatic media offline cache”Enabling this option will cache media files from selected libraries for offline usage after sync, allowing you to play your music even when you are not connected to the internet. However, this may consume a lot of storage and battery usage, so it is important to consider this before enabling this option.
Prefer song thumbnail
Section titled “Prefer song thumbnail”Will use each songs thumbnail in list instead of the album ones. Useful for compilations if each songs have a different image. Will require more storage cache and slower syncs.
Tag ratings as user ratings
Section titled “Tag ratings as user ratings”Ratings imported from media tags are normally considered as scraped ratings, enable this option to consider them user ratings.
Split album by
Section titled “Split album by”You can select how Symfonium split the albums. Each selected option must be equals for songs to be part of the same album.
