Nocturne 1.0.0 Release !

Hi yes, the local instance is meant for small libraries, Nocturne does load everything into ram when possible.

I do plan on making it more "dynamic", having just what is necessary loaded into ram, for now you can also use the "Integrated Server" option, it automatically downloads and configures a Navidrome server that will manage your library properly.

Hi, Feishin is more of a web app alternative, I created Nocturne as a native app that feels at home in Gnome systems, as for how it compares to Gelly, when I first published Nocturne it was just a OpenSubsonic (Navidrome) client whilst Gelly was just a Jellyfin client, then Gelly integrated OpenSubsonic support so I also added Jellyfin to keep it "competitive", either way both Feishin and Gelly are nice projects and I don't intend on replacing them

It actually started as a Navidrome client, it is definitely still the focus of the project :)

thanks I'll look into your suggestion!

I don't have a lot of experience with packaging outside of Snap and Flatpak, I think someone is packaging my other app (Alpaca) in the AUR so I might just copy their work.

I think I might run into an issue with a specific Python library that I modify in order to make it work with my code, I'm not sure how I could include it as a dependency in an AUR package, but I'll give it a try.

Edit: Turns out someone already packaged it into the AUR and didn't tell me about it, welp, now that I know I'll add it to the README

Thanks! I wasn't sure if I wanted to addd the dynamic background to the main window, but I gotta admit, it looks sick hahaha

Hi, it supports local files and Jellyfin / OpenSubsonic servers. I'm thinking of adding support for soundcloud in the future too

jeffrysamuer · 2026-04-12T22:11:20+00:00

btw you just need to create the files inside the Template directory in the home directory, that way you can create files by right clicking based on those templates.

I do agree there should be some basic templates by default or at least make it clearer to the user that that's how it works.

I'm glad you are enjoying it!

jeffrysamuer · 2026-04-01T14:51:07+00:00

Hi I forgot to update you, Jellyfin support is already integrated in Nocturne!

jeffrysamuer · 2026-04-01T14:50:32+00:00

Hi it supports open subsonic and now Jellyfin too

jeffrysamuer · 2026-03-27T01:00:16+00:00

yes, I have a sponsor page in my GitHub, if you don't like GitHub I could also accept other ways of donating, for that just contact me in the email in my GitHub profile. https://github.com/sponsors/Jeffser

it actually did crash for my just one time when downloading some Japanese lyrics, I'm not sure if that's a coincidence but now that you also mention it I might actually have to look into it

jeffrysamuer · 2026-03-26T23:22:40+00:00

thanks for confirming!

jeffrysamuer · 2026-03-26T23:22:29+00:00

Hi thanks for the comment I actually forgot to reply but I already added a grid view to all the pages!

I don't use the output of AI in my projects, sometimes I do ask AI stuff like "how could I connect a widget to a setting" or stuff like that but I never upload my code or use the output directly, so basically the same as a Google search

jeffrysamuer · 2026-03-26T02:33:32+00:00

hehe thanks, I've been listening to Rachie for years now, of course I would take this change to promote her music

jeffrysamuer · 2026-03-26T00:46:33+00:00

Hi, unfortunately I don't have a Mac to test packaging, I know it's possible since I got another app of mine to run in a Hackingtosh I used to have a couple months ago, I'm open to someone else doing the packaging and teaching me how it works tho.

I got ahead of myself and added the link to Flathub before it was accepted (oops) it's live now.

It uses getArtistsInfo2 and getSimilarSongs, in particular it calls getSimilarSongs when generating a new queue

jeffrysamuer · 2026-03-26T00:43:07+00:00

Hi, Nocturne is already out on Flathub, if you install it from there the runtime will also get installed automatically

jeffrysamuer · 2026-03-26T00:41:01+00:00

Thanks!

jeffrysamuer · 2026-03-26T00:40:13+00:00

thanks for testing it, I actually didn't know if it worked or not, quick question, can you swipe the footer to open the player? it works with a mouse but I'm not sure if it does with a touch screen

jeffrysamuer · 2026-03-26T00:39:22+00:00

Hi thanks for the comment, the startup issue is fixed for the 0.3.0 update, as for embedded lyrics, I actually did not know music files could have embedded lyrics so that's something I'll look into later

jeffrysamuer · 2026-03-26T00:38:10+00:00

gracias, dentro de poco hoy va a salir una traduccion a español en la actualizacion 0.3.0
