# Octo-Fiesta A Subsonic API proxy server that transparently integrates Deezer as a music source. When a song is not available in your local Navidrome library, it is automatically fetched from Deezer, downloaded, and served to your Subsonic-compatible client. The downloaded song is then added to your library, making it available locally for future listens. ## Why "Octo-Fiesta"? The name was randomly generated by GitHub when creating the repository. We found it amusing and somewhat fitting for a music application — after all, "fiesta" evokes a party atmosphere, which goes well with music streaming. So we kept it! ## Features - **Transparent Proxy**: Acts as a middleware between Subsonic clients (like Aonsoku, Sublime Music, etc.) and your Navidrome server - **Deezer Integration**: Seamlessly searches and streams music from Deezer when not available locally - **Automatic Downloads**: Songs are downloaded on-the-fly and cached for future use - **Full Metadata Embedding**: Downloaded files include complete ID3 tags (title, artist, album, track number, year, genre, BPM, ISRC, etc.) and embedded cover art - **Organized Library**: Downloads are saved in a clean `Artist/Album/Track.mp3` folder structure - **Artist Deduplication**: Merges local and Deezer artists to avoid duplicates in search results - **Album Enrichment**: Local albums are enriched with missing tracks from Deezer - **Cover Art Proxy**: Serves cover art for external content transparently ## Tested Clients ### PC - [Aonsoku](https://github.com/victoralvesf/aonsoku) - [Subplayer](https://github.com/peguerosdc/subplayer) - [Aurial](https://github.com/shrimpza/aurial) ### Android - [Tempus](https://github.com/eddyizm/tempus) - [Symfonium](https://symfonium.app/) (works as a standard Subsonic client, but Octo-Fiesta specific features like Deezer search are not supported) - [Chora](https://github.com/CraftWorksMC/Chora) (works as a standard Subsonic client, but Octo-Fiesta specific features like Deezer search are not supported) > **Want to improve client compatibility?** Pull requests are welcome! ## Requirements - A running Subsonic-compatible server (developed and tested with [Navidrome](https://www.navidrome.org/)) - A Deezer ARL token (for downloading) - Docker and Docker Compose (recommended) **or** [.NET 9.0 SDK](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet/9.0) for manual installation ## Quick Start (Docker) The easiest way to run Octo-Fiesta is with Docker Compose. 1. **Create your environment file** ```bash cp .env.example .env ``` 2. **Edit the `.env` file** with your configuration: ```bash # Navidrome/Subsonic server URL SUBSONIC_URL=http://your-navidrome-server:4533 # Path where downloaded songs will be stored on the host DOWNLOAD_PATH=./downloads # Deezer ARL token (required) DEEZER_ARL=your-deezer-arl-token # Preferred audio quality (optional): FLAC, MP3_320, MP3_128 # If not set, the highest available quality for your account will be used DEEZER_QUALITY= ``` 3. **Start the container** ```bash docker-compose up -d ``` The proxy will be available at `http://localhost:5274`. 4. **Configure your Subsonic client** Point your Subsonic client to `http://localhost:5274` instead of your Navidrome server directly. > **Tip**: Make sure the `DOWNLOAD_PATH` points to a directory that Navidrome can scan, so downloaded songs appear in your library. ## Configuration ### Subsonic Settings | Setting | Description | |---------|-------------| | `Subsonic:Url` | URL of your Navidrome/Subsonic server | ### Library Settings | Setting | Description | |---------|-------------| | `Library:DownloadPath` | Directory where downloaded songs are stored | ### Deezer Settings | Setting | Description | |---------|-------------| | `Deezer:Arl` | Your Deezer ARL token (required for downloads) | | `Deezer:ArlFallback` | Backup ARL token if primary fails | | `Deezer:Quality` | Preferred audio quality: `FLAC`, `MP3_320`, `MP3_128`. If not specified, the highest available quality for your account will be used | ### Getting a Deezer ARL Token 1. Log in to [Deezer](https://www.deezer.com) in your browser 2. Open Developer Tools (F12) 3. Go to Application > Cookies > `https://www.deezer.com` 4. Find the `arl` cookie and copy its value > **Note**: ARL tokens expire periodically and need to be refreshed. ## Limitations - **Playlist Search**: Subsonic clients like Aonsoku filter playlists client-side from a cached `getPlaylists` call. Deezer playlists appear in global search (`search3`) but not in the Playlists tab filter. - **Region Restrictions**: Some Deezer tracks may be unavailable depending on your region. - **ARL Expiration**: Deezer ARL tokens expire and need periodic refresh. ## Architecture ``` ┌─────────────────┐ ┌──────────────────┐ ┌─────────────────┐ │ Subsonic │────▶│ Octo-Fiesta │────▶│ Navidrome │ │ Client │◀────│ (Proxy) │◀────│ Server │ │ (Aonsoku) │ │ │ │ │ └─────────────────┘ └────────┬─────────┘ └─────────────────┘ │ ▼ ┌─────────────────┐ │ Deezer API │ │ (Metadata + │ │ Downloads) │ └─────────────────┘ ``` ## Manual Installation If you prefer to run Octo-Fiesta without Docker: 1. **Clone the repository** ```bash git clone https://github.com/your-username/octo-fiesta.git cd octo-fiesta ``` 2. **Restore dependencies** ```bash dotnet restore ``` 3. **Configure the application** Edit `octo-fiesta/appsettings.json`: ```json { "Subsonic": { "Url": "http://your-navidrome-server:4533" }, "Library": { "DownloadPath": "./downloads" }, "Deezer": { "Arl": "your-deezer-arl-token", "ArlFallback": "" } } ``` 4. **Run the server** ```bash cd octo-fiesta dotnet run ``` The proxy will start on `http://localhost:5274` by default. 5. **Configure your Subsonic client** Point your Subsonic client to `http://localhost:5274` instead of your Navidrome server directly. ## API Endpoints The proxy implements the Subsonic API and adds transparent Deezer integration to: | Endpoint | Description | |----------|-------------| | `GET /rest/search3` | Merged search results from Navidrome + Deezer | | `GET /rest/stream` | Streams audio, downloading from Deezer if needed | | `GET /rest/getSong` | Returns song details (local or Deezer) | | `GET /rest/getAlbum` | Returns album with tracks from both sources | | `GET /rest/getArtist` | Returns artist with albums from both sources | | `GET /rest/getCoverArt` | Proxies cover art for external content | All other Subsonic API endpoints are passed through to Navidrome unchanged. ## External ID Format External (Deezer) content uses typed IDs: | Type | Format | Example | |------|--------|---------| | Song | `ext-deezer-song-{id}` | `ext-deezer-song-123456` | | Album | `ext-deezer-album-{id}` | `ext-deezer-album-789012` | | Artist | `ext-deezer-artist-{id}` | `ext-deezer-artist-259` | Legacy format `ext-deezer-{id}` is also supported (assumes song type). ## Download Folder Structure Downloaded music is organized as: ``` downloads/ ├── Artist Name/ │ ├── Album Title/ │ │ ├── 01 - Track One.mp3 │ │ ├── 02 - Track Two.mp3 │ │ └── ... │ └── Another Album/ │ └── ... └── Another Artist/ └── ... ``` ## Metadata Embedding Downloaded files include: - **Basic**: Title, Artist, Album, Album Artist - **Track Info**: Track Number, Total Tracks, Disc Number - **Dates**: Year, Release Date - **Audio**: BPM, Duration - **Identifiers**: ISRC (in comments) - **Credits**: Contributors/Composers - **Visual**: Embedded cover art (high resolution) - **Rights**: Copyright, Label ## Development ### Build ```bash dotnet build ``` ### Run Tests ```bash dotnet test ``` ### Project Structure ``` octo-fiesta/ ├── Controllers/ │ └── SubsonicController.cs # Main API controller ├── Models/ │ ├── MusicModels.cs # Song, Album, Artist, etc. │ └── SubsonicSettings.cs # Configuration model ├── Services/ │ ├── DeezerDownloadService.cs # Deezer download & decryption │ ├── DeezerMetadataService.cs # Deezer API integration │ ├── IDownloadService.cs # Download interface │ ├── IMusicMetadataService.cs # Metadata interface │ └── LocalLibraryService.cs # Local file management ├── Program.cs # Application entry point └── appsettings.json # Configuration octo-fiesta.Tests/ ├── DeezerDownloadServiceTests.cs ├── DeezerMetadataServiceTests.cs └── LocalLibraryServiceTests.cs ``` ### Dependencies - **BouncyCastle.Cryptography** - Blowfish decryption for Deezer streams - **TagLibSharp** - ID3 tag and cover art embedding - **Swashbuckle.AspNetCore** - Swagger/OpenAPI documentation ## License GPL-3.0 ## Acknowledgments - [Navidrome](https://www.navidrome.org/) - The excellent self-hosted music server - [Deezer](https://www.deezer.com/) - Music streaming service - [Subsonic API](http://www.subsonic.org/pages/api.jsp) - The API specification
