[Kionjb-devel] Re: the bartlett hacks

[<mar...@cl...>]

I'm on KDE 3.4 (in 3.5 you have to increment the UDS=5FEXTRA constant for =
each atom - I don't have 3.5 so I don't know if that works).

After some basic C++ errors (its, like, 10 years since I coded C++ - I'm a=
 Java/C=23 guy myself and C++ doesn't like some of the lazy assumptions I,=
 consequently, made) I have got the name column now containing the title o=
f the track only, the album, artist and genre fields displaying in separat=
e columns, and the track URL is njb://track/<track id>/<old kio=5Fnjb form=
atted file name>. The reason for that last bit is a) internally we can now=
 uniquely identify the track from the middle =22directory=22 and b) when y=
ou
copy from the device or play from the device, the filename portion is used=
 as the target name or in the player display, so it needs to be friendly a=
nd not =22123456=22.

Seems to work pretty well=21

I was trhinking about a change to the current file structure, but after us=
ing it a bit more its very convenient so I've not done that (though I'm am=
 going to try and add an =22Artist=22 column to the =22Albums=22 directory=
 listing - we'll see).

Anyway, next step is to get what I currently have, which appears stable an=
d very usable, into a patch on the CVS HEAD and send it to you - then you =
can test and approve/reject/change/fix/commit/whatever. After that, I'd li=
ke to make the playlist and album generated m3u files fully m3u compliant,=
 with the new track URL and the =23EXTINF comments (as I do in njstream) a=
nd thus double clicking on them should get amarok et al to play the entire=
 list. Thats a pretty simple mod.

Then its wma tags (using code from gnomad2/njstream).

After that, the suggestion of using =22audio/x-njb=22 and then having a kf=
ile plugin to handle meta data changes (and, possibly, device/x-njb for th=
e device details now in the =22/etc=22 directory?) is intriguing=21=21=21

P.S - Oh, test scripts are for WHIMPS=21=21=21 :-) OK, I'll do that, And, =
yse, I'm on the mailing list.
