Network source setup

You can import tracks from your PLEX, koel or Airsonic compatible server (Airsonic, Navidrome).

To connect Tauon to your server:

1. Make sure your server is setup, running and accessible.
2. In Tauon, to go MENU > Settings > Accounts and click the tab button for your server type.
3. Fill the relevant fields with your account information. Then click the Import music to playlist button.

Note: This playlist will not auto synchronize. To update, simply the playlist tab and click Regenerate.

Note: Server side playlists are currently not supported.

PLEX / Transcode note: The GStreamer backend works well with seeking http sources that have a "content-length" header, but if this isn't present such as in the case of a live transcoded source (PLEX always does this), then seeking directly is not possible. Tauon will work around this by downloading the whole file on seek, but if you find this inconvenient, consider switching to the Phazor backend which can seek without needing to re-download content in this case. (You can switch by going MENU > Setting... > Audio and selecting PHAzOR)

Warning: Having multiple source servers of the same type is not supported. If you switch or reset your server, you must remove all existing network tracks before importing again. You can do this by going MENU > Database... > Remove Network Tracks.

AUR users: For PLEX, install python-plexapi package from AUR.
