A quick progress report
In the code now (so these will definately be in 1.2 beta)
These are things that are still waiting to go in
These are the things I definately want to look at still
Things that could get looked at if there is time
There are some things I do not intend to look at
In the code now (so these will definately be in 1.2 beta)
- Disc# now available in music views
- You are now able to re-order views inside config
- The creation and manipulation of views is now a lot cleaner
- There is now an option to skip view levels with only a single entry (very useful for disc#)
- Far more properties exposed to skins in now playing screen
- Multi disc albums will no longer have the disc number before the track number (so what shows as 101 now will go back to 01
- Ability to jump to now-playing screen from anywhere inside MP
- Abililty to open plugin with a parameter (means you can open up directly in view of your choice)
- Fix now-playing code so that when playback ends MP will go back to previous screen
- Ability to love/ban now-playing track on last.fm
These are things that are still waiting to go in
- All submitted patches now in code
These are the things I definately want to look at still
- Adding a new section to config for scraping artist/album info (and possibly artist thumbs)
- Look at the whole enter/play confusion and try and improve this
- Fix some of the labels (these are set in an odd way and are sometimes inconsistent)
- See if it is possible to expose a few more properties in music browsing screens (genre, artist, album artist, album, track)
- Add shuffle button to now-playing (and possibly as a global action)
- Add the option to choose how you want date added populated (currently this is the day track is imported into database but I would like to add file created date and file modified date)
Things that could get looked at if there is time
- Get list of loved / banned tracks from last.fm and expose this to skin in now-playing screen
- Add repeat toggle to now-playing screen
- Have a look at some complex view stuff (this is pretty low down as whilst it would be pretty powerful you would need to be a dev really to know how to use it)
- Importing tags from CUE files
There are some things I do not intend to look at
- Audiobooks (if the new disc# stuff helps great but as there is no official way of identifying them then IMHO there should be an AudioBook plugin)
- Podcasts
- DJ mode / Party features. Maybe one day but again this sounds like it would be better suited to a plugin
