Here is an other post of my series about
WebDAV & CO .
With WebDAV you can easily access data in the Hubzilla/streams cloud including your private music collection and use it on all kinds of end devices. If you have activated WebDAV on your desktop PC, you can
simply drag and drop music files stored in the cloud into locally installed audio players such as #
VLC https://www.videolan.org or #
clementine https://www.clementine-player.org/ via the file browser and play them. Playlists can of course also be created in this way.
Playing .m3u8 playlists directly from the cloud should also be possible in the web browser with the appropriate plugins, but I have not yet been able to get this to work.
For streaming audio files to the smartphone, there are apps that can also do this in combination with WebDAV clouds.
I
use the app carta for this on my android phone
https://github.com/innomatica/carta/releases https://innomatica.github.io/carta/This App not only allows you to catalog and play audio files from the Internet Archive site, but also very easily the private music file collection from your own cloud. ... Spotify & Co not necessary.
Streaming also has many disadvantages. I like to have music that is important to me with me on my phone as stored data and app
carta has an option to download files als well which is great... and here an other use case:
via the WebDAV Hubzilla/streams cloud you can now share audio files for streaming with your family or with friends you really trust. Everyone just needs to know and use the WebDAV credentials. That is why as already mentioned in other posts, you can't really share things in an anonymous network via WebDAV.
Now that we know some use cases with WebDAV, in the next post I will come to the special protocol
CalDAV with which event and calendar data can be exchanged between different end devices.
