[Vanadium-developers] DJ Mode progress

[Avital O. <avi...@gm...>]

Hello.

It's been a while since I had some free time, but today I started going
through the code to figure out how to implement DJ Mode.

First of all, the code is so nicely organized and documented -- it was a
real pleasure exploring and studying this code (it's my first time with
ActionScript!). Well done.

I realized that I should hook to the callback from ObjectLoader -
loadFromUrlFinished to know when to start preloading the next track. I
tracked the current callback implementation and all it does is track from
what I could tell. The question is - how do I add this new functionality
(preloading) the next track into this function properly?

*My Question:*
*In CoreController:

    private function traceLoadStatus( bForceTrace:Boolean )
    {
        var pl:Playlist = m_model._getPlaylist();
        var bLoadStatusChanged:Boolean = pl.traceLoadStatus();
        if( bForceTrace || bLoadStatusChanged )
        {
            notifyAll(PlayerDefines.LOAD_STATUS_CHANGED);
        }
    }

yet PlayListEntry.traceLoadStatus() never returns a value. Is it supposed
to?

And, anyways, is the right place to put the trigger for preloading the next
track in CoreController.loadOfPleFinished?

Regarding the sample sets, I am trying to play sets by other dj's. They are
copyrighted but do you think this would count for fair use? If so, I can
send them or upload them...
