Best path to developing App
-
I am plotting out how to design an app I have in mind, but I wanted to get advice on what the best path to success would be. End Format -> iOS, Amazon Fire TV App Purpose -> Music player, organize playlists. Two methods of playback are play on the server using something like mpg123, or easier method will be playback on device that is accessing files over the network. The music sits on a Samba share but I would like any kind of NFS style share comparability. This is partially a programming exercise, as I'm sure plenty of options already exist. My first thoughts on approach: C# -> Very Verbose and I only know basics Delphi / Free Pascal -> Much more readable, though far fewer guides to help. JS/PHP -> WebApp maybe the easiest to write, I have some PHP experience. Though get the impression my execution would be "hacky". Lots of ducktape.

To be honest, you don't have a lot of choice. iOS and Amazon Fire TV are very different beasts - one it iOS (IPhone, iPad) and the other is Android (as hacked about by Amazon) - so unless you want to write two different apps, your best approach is browser based, or Xamarin - and that means C#. And do bear in mind that "play on the server" means just that: the client will not be able to see of hear anything unless they are in the same room ... mpg123 is a unix based music player, it won't magically make the sound come out of speakers a thousand miles away.

Thanks OG, that's my concern is cross platform is still no man's land to some degree. The hacky/easiest way I could think of is hook up speakers to my server (Raspberry Pi clone) and toggle music on and off with mpg123. I would at least like the option for both, play on local device or server. I read a little about bringing webapps to Amazon Fire. Are there any ways to bring a web app onto iOS? My concern is that a web app would not have capability to reach out to a local (not internet facing) NFS share.
