Description
as per nick's suggestion, some users may use their media server machine as their client as well, for example by hooking it up to their stereo system. to support this we should create a plugin which exposes a media player web interface, as well as runs a background service to play the actual music.
to build this as a plugin, we will need to create a new plugin type (frontend) which will allow new toplevel pages to be added to the web interface.
we will have to decide early on what method we will use to do the playback- one option is to use a preexisting player like MPD, or we could build our own simple player using something like the gstreamer framework.
