[QUOTE="emphatic, post: 543133, member: 24365"] With the intention of improving the current music section in MediaPortal, we have decied to start work on the design, then development of a new plugin that we've named [B]MusicEvolution[/B]. [SIZE="3"][B]Current status:[/B][/SIZE] Plugin team is currently looking for willing coders, preferably someone with experience. Development planning is ongoing. [B]Team so far consists of:[/B] Emphatic (planning) Tringler (coding) CaNe| (coding) [SIZE="3"][B]Planned features:[/B] [/SIZE][CODE] * Support for portable devices (after a one time setup, instant recognition with local/device stored playlist support) * Global search box with input for keyboard and SMS-style (for your remote control) * Additional playlist paths can be set up in MP configuration * Careful RegEx parser for "automatic" finding of artist/album-data from files with lack of proper ID3 tagging * Support for online data grabbing with script support like Moving Pictures for localization * User interaction for unmatched/conflicting files directly in GUI like MP TV-Series * Commit downloaded data to ID3-tag (available as "Hidden feature" in the GUI?) * "Hidden" advanced GUI options - show file path | mark database entries as incorrect/re-scan * Multiple layouts to choose from in GUI * Ability to give the plugin a custom name to show up in Home/Plugins list * In-Plugin Artwork browser - A browser to watch the scraper results for artwork, and also browse, select, delete existing artwork [B]Available database fields: [/B]Artist | Album artist | Album | Track name | Genre | Duration | Remixer | Album artwork | Artist artwork Album rating | Track rating | Bitrate | Sample rate | Bit size | Sample freq. | Composer | Disc. no Date added | Year | Lyrics | Resume marker data (for audio books) | Custom | Mood "Album" and "Artist" would need some clever planning to allow for biography/discovery data as well. [B]Context menu[/B] (content dynamic options when browsing track, album or artist views): * Add to playlist * Change view * Artist fanart menu (enable/disable, like MP TV-Series) * Show extended options ("hidden GUI options") | pin code required * Settings | Show lyrics: on/off | Randomize available fanart: on/off [B]Playlist specific options:[/B] * Merge current playlist into saved playlist (select this, and all your saved playlists will be listed) -> confirmation "Are you sure?" yes/no -> save playlist as new yes/no * Edit playlist : re-arrange by artists | re-arrange by album | re-arrange by genre | re-arrange by play time (this will change the sorting descending, choose a "re-arrange" again to sort ascending) * Shuffle current playlist * When saving a playlist, you can set a "mood" marker for it, like "Party", "Make out-music", "Fancy dinner". You can use pre-defined or name them "on the fly" [/CODE] [/QUOTE]
