I've been creating a media library program (see http://puremedialib.sourceforge.net for full description).

now i need some people to test it, especially the shared libraries locations.

get the source code here: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/pureme ... ha1.tar.gz

compile it, click settings, add a couple of folders for it to scan (recursive)
enable wma if you have perl and audio:wma installed (http://search.cpan.org/~daniel/Audio-WMA-1.1/WMA.pm)
then click generate db, select some files' checkboxes, add to playlist, send to player (audacious by default)

also, if you use a player other than audacious or amarok, please add it to the players.list file:

Code: Select all

[name to be displayed in settings]
exe = <command to run>
params = <any command line options needed - %playlist% is replaced with the playlist>

thanks for any help, hope ive explained everything,

ok... some tests are done and I must say... very good job!

I'd tested it with my own little Player (you'll find here: http://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtopic.php?t=31224)
and it works like a charm

it took me some time to find out that there is a context menu in each list

... it wasn't obvious....

What I would change:
- an option in the context menu of the database to send only this entry to the player (without copying it first into the playlist)
- the ability to save and load Playlists
- loading of ogg and mpc files too (tested and it works)
- checking the extensions with LCase (as on Linux this is very important - otherwise a file with extension Mp3 or mP3 or MP3 wasn't found)

I guess I'll use this little lib (libtag_c) in my player too (at present I'm reading the mp3 headers by my own) because of the support of ogg files

btw. I had to change the

Code: Select all

ImportC "/usr/lib/libtag_c.so"

in taglib.pbi to

Code: Select all

ImportC "/usr/lib/libtag_c.so.0"

to make it work....

and I didn't test the wma part for now (I have no wma files at present.. )
