[WebService] General Media Access Webservice (3 Viewers)

[Mars Warrior]

As already statet in the first post:

V0.3 is released and is now capable of streaming
General Media Access WebService - Download: 0.3.0.0 Beta

Does the streaming part include live-tv and iDevices? I'm a bit confused lately with all those streaming options and services...

 

[Oxan]

No (but the last TV4Home release can) and no (it's just an API for developers, you need an app like aMPdroid to use it)

 

[DieBagger]

An updated version of 0.3 has been uploaded that fixes the install problems...

 

[UNOPARATOR]

Good to know that =)

Hi Guys,

When doing an Album lookup using GMA (http://localhost:4321/GmaWebService/MediaAccessService/json/GetAllAlbums?sort=0&order=0), some albums are returned multiple times.

This happens if some of the fields returned are different in the album's metadata. For example the "AlbumArtists" and "Artists" fields. Obviously this sort of thing can happen a lot even (especially?) with accurate metadata tags.

I've extracted the following example for reference

{"AlbumArtists":["Gary Moore"],"Artists":["Albert Collins "," Gary Moore"],"Composer":null,"CoverPath":null,"CoverPathL":"C:\\ProgramData\\Team MediaPortal\\MediaPortal\\thumbs\\Music\\Albums\\Gary Moore-After HoursL.jpg","Genre":null,"Publisher":null,"ShortedAlbumArtist":"Gary Moore","Title":"After Hours","Year":0},

{"AlbumArtists":["Gary Moore"],"Artists":["B.B. King "," Gary Moore"],"Composer":null,"CoverPath":null,"CoverPathL":"C:\\ProgramData\\Team MediaPortal\\MediaPortal\\thumbs\\Music\\Albums\\Gary Moore-After HoursL.jpg","Genre":null,"Publisher":null,"ShortedAlbumArtist":"Gary Moore","Title":"After Hours","Year":0},

{"AlbumArtists":["Gary Moore"],"Artists":["Gary Moore"],"Composer":null,"CoverPath":null,"CoverPathL":"C:\\ProgramData\\Team MediaPortal\\MediaPortal\\thumbs\\Music\\Albums\\Gary Moore-After HoursL.jpg","Genre":null,"Publisher":null,"ShortedAlbumArtist":"Gary Moore","Title":"After Hours","Year":0},

This is one album which happens to have two tracks with guest artists.

In Mediaportal this album is only displayed once and has all the correct tracks but in aMPdroid the album appears three times.

Not really sure if this is something that should/ could be fixed in GMA or in aMPdroid so I apologise if I've posted this in the wrong thread.

All the best,

Mick.

iirc there is an option "Treat songs in the same folder as album" in MediaPortal. Maybe we should check and respect this option as well?

 

[Oxan]

Yeah - that one was already posted in the aMPdroid thread here. It's on my todo list to fix

iirc there is an option "Treat songs in the same folder as album" in MediaPortal. Maybe we should check and respect this option as well?

This is more like "treat songs with the same albumartist but different artist as the same album"

 

[Wo0zy]

Thanks Guys.

I checked through this thread before posting but not the aMPdroid thread. Sorry.

iirc there is an option "Treat songs in the same folder as album" in MediaPortal. Maybe we should check and respect this option as well?

Yeah. I do have that option ticked.

I'll leave it up to you and Oxan to decide who fixes it

All the best,

Mick.

AW: [WebService] General Media Access Webservice

Hello,

first of all a BIG THANKS to the hard working devolopers of gmawebservice.
Your service makes ampdroid such a wonderfull app.

But what about a normal webinterface?

It is our goal to provide worldwide access to your media without any dependence on special clients.
Based on this goal part of the project itself is a html based webinterface with fanart support.

I think it is webmediaportal
I've downloaded all the sources and tried to compile, but I don't know what I'm doing

Could you provide some binaries please?

Thanks
pünktchen

 

[Mike Lowrey]

I think it is webmediaportal

That's correct. My plan is to implement most features of both tv4home and gma to have a full featured webinterface with streaming, schedule programs, view series movies and so on.

Could you provide some binaries please?

I will provide binaries and corresponding documentation when WebMediaPortal's phase 1 features are implemented.
This means basic features like adding schedules, tv guide the the current movie/music/tv show parts.

If you want to test it before you have to download the sources open them with Visual Studio 2010 and start a new debug session. But it's possible that something isn't working because it's in continious development.
