What is Subsonic?

  • Subsonic: A widely-used protocol for streaming music from your own server. Many popular music server applications support it.

    • Search for songs, albums, and artists.
    • Browse and play playlists.
    • View newest, recently played, random, and starred albums.
    • Explore music folders and genres.
    • Stream audio directly in AN Player.

Install

  1. Open AN Player and go to the Plugins Screen.
  2. Find Subsonic in the official plugins list.
  3. Install the plugin and open its configuration page.

Configure Plugin

Subsonic requires your server address and login credentials.

  1. Open the plugin configuration page from AN Player.
  2. Enter the Server URL — this is the web address of your music server. Examples:
    • Navidrome: https://your-server.com or http://192.168.1.100:4533
    • Airsonic: https://your-server.com/airsonic
    • Gonic: http://192.168.1.100:4747
  3. Enter your Username — the same username you use to log in to your music server.
  4. Enter your Password — the same password you use to log in to your music server.
  5. Optionally, enter a Music Folder ID if you want to limit browsing to a specific library folder. Leave it empty to see all your music.
  6. Tap Save.

How to Find Your Server URL

  • Navidrome: Open Navidrome in your browser. The URL in your browser's address bar (e.g. http://192.168.1.100:4533) is your server URL.
  • Airsonic: Open Airsonic in your browser. The URL is usually something like https://your-server.com/airsonic.
  • Gonic: Open Gonic in your browser. The URL is usually http://your-ip:4747.

If you're accessing your server from outside your home network, you'll need to set up port forwarding or use a reverse proxy. Ask your server administrator if you're unsure.

If Nothing Loads

If your music library doesn't appear after saving, check the following:

  • The server URL may be wrong — try opening it in your phone's browser to verify it's reachable.
  • Your username or password may be incorrect — try logging in through the server's own web interface.
  • The server may not be reachable from your current network — if you're away from home, make sure remote access is set up.
  • Some servers require HTTPS — if your server uses HTTP, make sure you entered http:// (not https://).
