Integration of GNOME Music & ownCloud Music

[jancborchardt]

As we already discussed on IRC, just opening a more persistent issue about this. :)

It would be very cool to be able to access songs which are stored on ownCloud Music through GNOME Online Accounts so they can be listened to with GNOME Music.

ownCloud Music (developed by @MorrisJobke) exposes an Ampache connection – which is broken atm but will be fixed in 7.0.1 with this pull request: owncloud/core#9914

Both @sumansai14 and I tested the patch at owncloud/core#9914 now and it’s just a matter of the tests running through so we can merge and backport it to ownCloud 7.0.1. :)

The owncloud ampache api exposes a control method to play songs which doesn't have any metadata information like the duration (the time tag in xml is always 0) and we wont be able to cache it (it would be useful for the recent tab we are going to implement in music). where as exposing the data method for the songs url would be really helpful for integration with music.

@MorrisJobke can we add that to ownCloud Music?
