Description:
The Merlin Music Player is a new development of the merlinmp3player. I have decided to complete the project to new
To program so that actually no more line of code from the old project is available. Of the operation produces the new
Plugin but just like the old.
I have the software decoder for playing MP3 files are also re-written to interface the optional in config
select. This is in my eyes no longer necessary and should only be selected when using the hardware mode
Has problems, because the software mode is not 100% stable.
I had developed the software mode at that time to achieve a relatively fast changing music. However, I now have a
CUE-SHEET support in the player implements, which CD's, the flowing transitions have music, no more break
have between songs. All you have to rip your CD just as a single file and create a CUE file to the
Merlin Music Player will then parse this file and you can navigate the player then, as if the music file from multiple files
exists. To give you more then no breaks between tracks!
The project is divided into two modules:
1) Merlin Music Player
Here you can navigate with a Filebrowser through directories and select and play music files.
The following file types are supported: MP3, FLAC, M4A, and OGG music files
If you have a file selected, automatically all music files in the current directory to the song list
record.
The following library types are supported:
M3U Playlists
PLS playlists (which can for example, Internet music streams to be included)
CUE SHEET files
2) iDream
In iDream you can parse your music by ID3 tags, can this information be stored in a database, which
are then to Artists, Albums, Genre, etc. grouped.
In addition, you have to create in iDream the possibility to create playlists.
To fill the database you select a directory (Menu button in iDream), which then together with subdirectories
searched. Since this process may take depending on the number of music files for a while, this process in a separate
Thread carried out so that you can close the scan mask during the process and continue to use the normal Dreambox
can.
You can in each overview lists the colored buttons used, for example, to display all the artists for a song
to leave, or for a song all in this album. In addition, you can download the database by title, album, artist, etc.
, Browse playlists etc., create (menu, press in iDream).
To maximize your iDream one level up [back], you can also press the "0" on the remote control.
If your music player is you in the Merlin and "exit" press, the music keeps playing. To the player
zurückzugelangen simply a new file / iDream select entry, or press "Info".
If you feel in the music player is, you can link with the arrow go and right on the voherigen / next song. With Arrow
