hey man, thanks for commenting here!

My intention with MonoBox was for it to receive some attention and recognition, I never really meant to fill any gap in the market or anything

Also, everything is a learning experience and I'm really proud of what I made here haha

Have a good one and I will greatly appreciate it if you will star my repo! ⭐

hey man thanks for taking the time to make a comment!

Just to clarify, MonoBox is still in development, and all comments and feedback from people like you, who take interest in my project, are recorded and added to my ever-growing to-do list haha 😁

Regarding your question - MonoBox does not yet support flac files at this stage, but only mp3 files, although I am aware of the high demand for flac support, so this is high on my priority list.

Also, I'd appreciate it greatly if you could star the repo! ⭐

I'm glad you found a convenient way to listen to your favorite music haha

my intention here with MonoBox was not to replace Spotify or any other music player; rather, I came to present my project in the hopes that it would receive some attention and recognition

anyways, I hope you have a good one and don't forget to star my repo! πŸ˜€β­

hey bro thanks for your feedback!

Just to clarify, when I began developing MonoBox, I did not plan to replace another popular music player, but rather to provide an alternate method of listening to songs from the phone via the PC.

MonoBox is still under development and I would greatly appreciate it if you could star the repo! ⭐

You might get away with even a changing IP address if you can set up dynamic DNS on your router. Although these days even port forwarding can be an issue since a lot of providers put people behind CGNAT (you can check if you are behind CGNAT by going to whatsmyip and comparing address to CGNAT range).

Ok so I’m now seeing you have to be on the same network. Op if I have a static IP address can I remote into this through port 5000 if I open it on the firewall? Because otherwise it’s useless I already setup UPnP for my home network and can see all my files through VLC.

Also does it support flac audio? More than half my library is flac.

I have literally been trying to get this to work for months by setting up a server on my desktop or some form of sftp or ssh connection to VLC media player. But all my music is downloaded from soulseek and I don’t pay for any streaming services what so ever so honestly I’ll try and set this up and see if it actually works.
