music code Music in mediabrowser  
Hi all, thanks for adding me to the group. Just some background or extended HI, my name is Justin, I live in South Africa, Cape Town. I have been working as a software engineer here for 5 or 6 years, mostly in delphi (using com). So if my code is a bit dodgy it is probably the good old delphi talking. Otherwise i have been on a dotnet team for the past year, porting from delphi. I am messing around with adding the ability to view and play music from MB ... It is pretty much all working, just adding the ability to queue items from a folder or song level. No that i am planning on implementing the _meta_data providers for it now, has anyone had some experience with this? thanks Justin ...

so i have allowed for c:musicartist1album1 c:musicartist1album2 OR c:musicartist1 - album1 c:musicartist1 - album2 but NOT c:musicgenreartist1album1 c:musicgenreartist1album2 If i do that it will have to be accompanied but a setting in the config to specify which format you use. And then it wont allow combinations. Alternatively, i trash it all and handle everything as a folder and only when you enter something with music in it will show a different screen. This means i will get rid of the artist, album and artistalbum resolvers? What you all think?

Justin Welcome on board. A few important things: The indexing (new items) may completely explode when navigating large music collections. Make sure you test with 10K items to see that stuff does not bork out. On the _meta_data stuff, IDv3 is probably your best bet. Getting info from folder structures may make sense if you allow for a user defined regex but its a complex setup procedure. From the implementation side, Ideally this should be done as a plugin, just extend the plugin engine to allow for it. This way it can be easily disabled if it starts playing up and updated out of band with the main release. Also, please for the love of all that is good, write a few unit tests for it. Its a fairly big change that needs testing. (there are plenty of unit test samples in the unit test project) On Sat, Jul 18, 2009 at 3:13 AM, justin thomas< This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it wrote: so i have allowed for c:musicartist1album1 c:musicartist1album2 OR c:musicartist1 - album1 c:musicartist1 - album2 but NOT c:musicgenreartist1album1 c:musicgenreartist1album2 If i do that it will have to be accompanied but a setting in the config to specify which format you use.

Indexing: This also concerns me so i am testing it at a friends house, he has about 80 gigs of music, seems to work fine. He is hasn't really moaned about speed, having said that his machine is pretty high spec, probably not the average users machine. But like you say moving it to a plugin will help and that is what i will do. As for ID tags, i am not a fan, and many people aren't. I have done a search online and many people want something that just looks at the folder structure, i tried something called musicbrowser that is meant to do it, could not even get it working. I wanted to keep it simple to start with maybe later looking at making use of tags to organize music once i get feedback. For now i think i will keep it down to the folder structure - if you think about it, most people can find what they want to play easier via the folder structure, well that is what i think. Maybe i am still from the old school that likes to listen to an album. Maybe i am just lazy and dont want to put tags on all my music, missioning with tags of all the different file types. I was not planning to regex information from the file structure the combinations are just endless. Unit tests, although i have not tried really hard to get it working please give me some pointers when i open the ide it unloads the project because it does not support it. I download a nunit msi and installed it, but it did not seem to help. OK another question, is there any advantage in using album and artist resolvers. The only advantage i can see it to recognize when you navigating into it so as to change the view and other than navigating into a folder with music in i dont really see the point at this stage. One disadvantage is that it forces the user to organize their music in a certain folder structure. And please if you don't agree with something i said speak up ....
