I’ve started a new google code project, tuneshost, for a presentation I’m giving this week. It’s a bare minimal start, and in the short term I’m not going to be making many enhancements- I’ll just be using it to demonstrate htmlunit and selenium testing.
It’s built on the grails platform, and uses extjs for the UI. Communication is predominantly done in a restful fashion, with json. I’m using the acegi and searchable plugins. (btw, searchable is a @#$!@# awesome plugin!!!)
The concept is that you search through your media (it supports music right now, but the plan is to support all media), a la google style. I’m tired of importing 4 gigs into iTunes over my home network and having to wait 2 hours for it to finish. I’m also tired of syncing my ipod. So it’s streaming media for me all the way, and smart searching.

This sounds cool. It could also integrate well with the Grails SoundManager plugin to allow direct playback of audio files
Yes, the soundmanager plugin is worth taking a look at. However, using Extjs, gsp files are really just there to tell the browser where to locate the JavaScript, not to render much in the way of the DOM elements. So I don’t really plan to make much use of additional gsp taglibs that the plugin would provide.
There is a flash plugin for playing mp3s, like soundmanager, for direct playback. But it’s being dynamically configured via extjs, not gsps.
