I have an idea for a plug in, and I'm wondering if there is anyone else that thinks it's a good idea and anyone who would be interested in doing a _lot_ of hand-holding teaching me how to create a plug in.
The basic idea: a drop location for new music. Slimserver would periodically check this location (or could be triggered to do so on demand) and perform some basic checks before moving the files to their proper location. If the file fails the tests, it will be placed into a queue, where the user can review them and make and corrections to the meta data, at which point the file will be moved to the final location and added to the library. The checks would look for artist, album and title and should be user-controlled. The final location is defined by the user, using the type of tokens typically found in mp3 library management programs (e.g. %artist%/%album%/%title%). Basically, I use slimserver as my library management and I'm too lazy to always check new files for proper tags and with 7000 files on an ARM-based box, it just takes too long to do a full rescan. Any tips and pointers appreciated. I have basically no PERL experience, but I do have many years of experience programming in C#, VB, etc. Colin -- colin_young ------------------------------------------------------------------------ colin_young's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6481 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42091 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
