loquality's Introduction

0 Greetings
:::::::::::

Thanks for deciding for LoQuality as a music player. Our intent is to let
you gather as much music on your local hard disc as you like.

In this document you can find:

1 Status
2 Getting LoQuality
3 Requirements
4 Installation
5 Known Bugs

1 Status
::::::::

It is still in a "pre-alpha" phase, so please do not expect too much!
Documentation of the player will be added soon.

2 Getting LoQuality
:::::::::::::::::::

Please install git on your computer. Then, in a console, switch to where you
want LoQuality to be put, and enter:

	git clone git://github.com/JohannesLorenz/LoQuality.git
	cd LoQuality

Then you are ready for installation!

3 Requirements
::::::::::::::

For the installation, of course, you'll need a C++ compiler.
You need the usual Qt libraries and headers (mostly called devel packages).

To install the Qt development files, run the following command:
sudo apt-get install libqt4-dev (on Ubuntu / Debian)
sudo zypper in libqt4-devel (on SuSE)

Also, make sure you have the package installed containing "qdbusxml2cpp" (should
also be available in the Qt4 development package).

For running LoQuality, you will need:
* mplayer or mplayer2
* ffmpeg for the flash downloader
* taglib and its headers
* youtube-dl and wget for the playlist downloader
  (youtube-dl must be the newest possible version)
* ssh for the file syncher

4 Installation
::::::::::::::

Compile LoQuality in 3 steps!

1. Read and accept license
2. ./configure
3. make

5 Known Bugs
::::::::::::

* You must wait at least 60 seconds after your flash video was downloaded in
  firefox. Then, you can start the flash downloader. If you start earlier,
  crashes occur...

loquality's Issues

Check whether VLC is suited for being a remote player.

If yes, we need to think about how the user could easily switch between vlc and mplayer. Should they both be kept open in the background, or switched via a combo box?

LQ adds filename into table, even if no file was downloaded.

This happens if LQ downloads a file and fails.

Playlist db table needs length argument

The playlist db's table need another column which measures the length of a track in seconds.

Therefore, old databases need to be updated. Either all manually, or LQ needs an automatic check. The commands to check for existance of this column and to insert it are needed to found out in either case.

LQ destroys the shell on regular closing

This is not related to if LQ crashes, it also happens often on regular closing (Ctrl+Q). No idea why.

Think about a useful directory structure for src.

Currently, we have src/dbus and src/core. I wonder if we should split core in main (things that are called directly by main()) and core (core functions, accessible from everywhere). Also, we need some more directories.

LQ should remove downloaded tracks if they are empty afterwards

Such tracks should be removed from hard disk, and also be counted as failed downloads.

FileAddManager should be able to concatenate 1-entry-dirs

This means that if directory A is in B, and no other directory is in B, than the FileAddManager should display A/B as one entry, instead of A->B.

Allow the FileAddManager to also select files outside from the music root.

This is currently WIP by me (Johannes).

LQ does not name images without file ending, if downloaded.

Either, after downloading, LQ must save the file with a correct file name tag (preferred), or LQ must scan the current music diretory for files without a file ending.

LQ Should remember recently opened databases

This includes giving LQ a starting menu like firefox has.

Mplayer is often still running after closing LQ

This might be caused by pressing Ctrl+C, but not sure. Maybe, kill signals should be catched, this might fix it, or at least some occurences of this issue.

AddEntries class should complete tags.

This should be very easy, as we already have this for Artist and Album.

Single add entry dialog refreshes complete Mainwindow, even on abort.

Abort should not cause a table reload.

Remember recently played song for each playlist/database?

We have to think about where this information should be stored: In the db (in which table, then?) or in the main options file in the recently opened dbs section (what WindohsCrasher is currently)?

Search for multiple words does not work

If you insert 128 and 10 into the search text field (top left, main window), it searches for "128 10", instead for songs that have 128 and ten in (possibly) different columns. This is annoying: You can not search for 128 kbps files with a rating of 10.

How to fix? Maybe just a change of the flags in MainWindow.cpp

tableWidget.findItems(text, Qt::MatchContains);

or otherwise, we might need to split the string and parse one substring after another.
