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://).
