I'm currently working on support for shoutcast streams in
MythMusic. It's in a fairly good state already and I use it daily at
work and at home for tunes.
Features:
- Supports Shoutcast streams
- Metadata editor for adding new stations
- Can remove stations from UI
- Parses stream metadata, format configurable
- Displays station logo as Album Art
If you want to take it for a testdrive, apply the patch. It'll
create a music_radios table with all the SomaFM and Digitally Imported stations and add a
RadioMusicDBSchemaVer to your settings table. This SchemaVer is
independent of the MusicDBSchemaVer, but hopefully one day will be
folded into it.
And a patch for MythTV 0.21 big
patch The diff was done again SVN revision 16678.

iPod support |
|
I've started working on iPod support in MythMusic. Using the KDE
ipodslave library as a base, I plan on a solution, where plugging in
the iPod will make it appear on the toplevel tree right after "All My
Music". There will be context sensitive menus to allow transferring
albums or entire artist collections to/from the iPod.
While initially targeting the iPod, I do plan to make the mechanism
generic enough that it'll be easy to add support for other mp3
players, of course, not having anything but the iPod, it'll be hard to
predict what "generic enough" means...
Currently the main obstacle is the rigidness of MythMusic's tree
(both the playbackbox and databasebox ones), and especially how hard
it is to add new collections to it (something that I ran into while
doing the shoutcast player). Untill I've worked out how to solve this
(ie. redo the tree building code...) I won't get much done on the iPod
support.

| musictheme.tar.gz |
|
Change the layout of mythmusic to have more screenarea allocated
for the browser, and also adds some small icons for
shuffle/repeat. This patch is very much a personal preference thing. |

| treebuilding.patch |
Big patch that revamps how mythmusic builds tree. Greatly speeds up
the building (see here
for measurements).
Consists of many small initial tweaks and then a redo of the
treebuilding code :

| cdrip.patch |
- Smoother overall progress bar in the cdripper (pr. sector rather
than pr. track)
- The "Import CD" button is the one to have focus.
Status: In SVN pr. 2005-05-03
|
| lcd.patch |
- Support for CVS version of lcdproc.
- Optionally show "Artist - Album - Title" when playing music.
- Reintroduced the 'music' screen instead of using 'generic' screen
when playing music.
- Cleanup of how mythmusic calls LCD.
- Fixes to work on larger LCDs. Various fixes to the handling of
screen priorities.
- Removes need to restart frontend when changing LCD settings.
Status: In SVN pr. 2005-05-03, except fixes to mythdialogs.cpp (rejected), see
lcd2.patch.
|
| lcd2.patch |
Updated fix to make MythProgressDialog properly update LCD progress
bar (update to lcd.patch).

lcd-busy-520.patch
busy.patch
decoder-refactor.patch
dbupdate-short2.patch
|
- Reread ID3 tags for files, if nessecary, when updating mythmusic
database.
- Some refactoring in the Decoder object hierachy (move up method
from subclasses into superclass, use template method to implement difference).
- Also introduces a MythBusyDialog to show a busy-spinner style
progress.
- Fixes a missing "flush" call in lcddevice.cpp (when sending to the
mythlcdserver).
- Fixes to the LCD code so the LCD can also display a busy-spinner.
busy depends on lcd-busy-520
dbupdate-short2 depends on lcd-busy-520, busy and decoder-refactor

| musicsplit.patch |
Introduce "splitartist1" as path keyword for mythmusic, split
artists into groups of (A)(B)(C)(D) instead of splitartists (ABCD).
Status: In SVN pr. 2005-05-03
|
| observable.patch |
Refactor. There were three different classes that implemented a
add/removeListener & dispatch interface, and for the shoutcast code
I needed a fourth, so this patch refactors that interface out to a
MythObservable superclass that can be inherited to get the
add/removeListener interface.
Status: In SVN pr. 2005-12-08
|
| decoderlocking.patch |
Refactoring of how to lock/unlock the mutex for Decoders. I needed
this for the shoutcast decoder.
Status: In SVN pr. 2005-12-08
|
| metaformat.patch |
Patch that adds the 'format' field from the db to the object. Also
something I needed for the shoutcast decoder. This
is a workaround to be able to identify if a Metatata object is a
stream. The cleaner alternative is to use inheritance, but I'll defer
that.
Status: In SVN pr. 2005-12-08
|
| visualisers.patch |
Not sure if this is a bug or a problem with shoutcast streams. But
they tended to only use 14/th of some visualiser
(ie. StereoScope). Turned out that they only send 128 samples instead
of 512 pr. VisualNode. This patch makes MonoScope, StereoScope and
Goom handle <512 (like BumpScope).
