Top Hits Archive

After installation, the plugins are available from the File menu




__________________________________________________________

The reason for provide a plugin could be many:

• The author of pMusic won't stop you offering your code.
  
• The plugin offers specific functionality that doesn't fit into pMusic's work flow.
  
• The size of the code/graphic is big.
  
• The plugin code must be compiled to work. pMusic is a script and will work on all bash compatible systems.
  
• A plugin can be a nice way to test new functionality.

__________________________________________________________

To you who want to write a Plugin, here are some info:

- Each plugin has a executable file in /usr/local/pmusic/plugins/ and a corresponding config file like /usr/local/pmusic/plugins/myplugin.rc.
- The pMusic config file is $HOME/.pmusic/pmusicrc. By executing this file your plugin will have useful variables like $STORAGE_DIR which points to where the db's are....
- Some useful files would be

• /usr/local/pmusic/playlist: content of all columns of the playlist
  
• /usr/local/pmusic/sourcelist: content of the Music sources field
  
• $HOME/.pmusic/nowplaying: Name and path to playing track
  
• $HOME/.pmusic/nowplaying_albumart.jpg:Album artwork to playing track
  
• /usr/local/pmusic/PERCENT: status of progress slider
  
• /usr/local/pmusic/ffmpeg_output: all info from ffmpeg are dumped here

This is how it works.

1.) Run a Radio-Hits channel (or several) of your liking for some days.



2.) Specify Top Hits list and wait for Plugin to sync it with your local files.
3.) Browse the output directory and add *.pmu file to playlist.
4.) Tracks with length description (in playlist) is found on your local disc.

01micko has improved the Try app
This time he fixed a bug related to using the trayapp with the CD-player gui. When reopen gui by trayapp it always lead to the main gui.

umdmusic.com has been unreliable lately, so I have forced the plugin to connect 10 times before giving up. Seems to work...
