nas_car_player

Project Overview

nas_car_player is a WebDAV music player aimed at car head-unit screens, written in Flutter. Its author found existing apps such as Yinliu and Arrow Music poorly optimized for cars, so built a player better suited to in-car use with the help of AI. It connects over WebDAV and plays music stored on a NAS, with an interface designed around a landscape, touch-driven car screen. The project is simple in structure and works well as a reference for building a WebDAV player.

A NAS music player made specifically for the car.

Key Features

• WebDAV connection: connect to a WebDAV service on your NAS and browse the music library
• Music playback: play audio files stored on the NAS
• Car interface: a layout built for landscape, touch-driven car screens
• Directory browsing: browse the library by folder and pick tracks

Target Audience

• Car owners who want to play NAS music on their head unit
• Users who store music on a WebDAV service
• Developers learning about Flutter apps for car head units

Quick Start

1. Open the project with a Flutter environment and run flutter pub get
2. Connect a head unit or emulator and run flutter run
3. Enter the NAS WebDAV address and credentials in settings
4. Browse the music library and tap to play

Core Advantages

• Car-first: the interface and interactions are designed around in-car use
• Flutter cross-platform: one codebase is easy to verify on different platforms
• Direct NAS access: streams over WebDAV with no extra service required

System Requirements

Item	Requirement
Platform	Android car head unit (other Flutter platforms also work)
Build environment	Flutter SDK
Data source	A NAS that supports WebDAV

Notes

• The interface is fairly simple and some features depend on your own environment
• The WebDAV address and credentials must match the NAS configuration
• Do not operate the player while driving; keep your attention on the road
