Hi Steven,
I would be wonderful if you can share your experience in real time audio
processing and play list generation with us and join us to make Mixxx even
better.
We have a some contributions and ideas to auto play list generations.
But currently nothing has managed to sneak into the trunk.
And as far as I know, non of it is close to your approach.
Here is a list of links what I can find and remember. I hope that the
others on the list can also give valuable hints.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/mixxx/+bug/889898
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/mixxx/+spec/auto-library-filter
http://www.mixxx.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=4924
https://bugs.launchpad.net/mixxx/+bug/1023804
https://bugs.launchpad.net/mixxx/+bug/674067
https://bugs.launchpad.net/mixxx/+bug/894652
Since this malign list is somehow volatile, you should consider open a
wishlist bug or a blueprint on Launchpad or a new page on our Wiki to save
the ideas. (Or all of it).
Btw: Is your djserver open source?
Kind regards,
Daniel
