Recently I decided it would be a good idea to rebuild the part of the project that actually played the songs.
\n
\nI’ve added various plugin hooks. The idea is blatantly borrowed the idea from wordpress.<\/p>\n

They basically have an array of functions that need to be ran during a specific event.<\/p>\n

Since I have to run this thing in 2 different processes, the ‘player’ and the ‘picker’ process. I have 2 hook systems.<\/p>\n

PLAYER HOOKS
\n————
\nbefore_play(function_name);
\nThis is executed just before mplayer plays a song.
\nThings this could be useful for:
\n * ‘station id’ every x songs.
\n * a ‘notify’ sound if the song is rated 11.
\n * ices metatag update.
\n * remount script for network drives.<\/p>\n

PICKER HOOKS
\n————
\non_songchange(function_name);
\n * A Song logger
\n * scan for new songs
\n * osd
\n * id3 tag sync.
\n * rename previous song according to it’s dbinfo. Found in
\n $player->previousSong<\/p>\n

wait_loop(function_name);
\n * Do something every 5 seconds. The Picker process sleeps for 5 seconds, and
\n then checks if the song has changed.
\n a. This is useful to check mountpoints and remount if needed.<\/p>\n

The plugins I’ve made for the player process:<\/p>\n
remount.php<\/b><\/dt>\n
remounts the drive if the mp3 does not exist.<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n
The plugins I’ve made for the picker process:<\/p>\n
remount.php<\/b><\/dt>\n
Also checks every 5 seconds. Probably doesn’t need to be a player process, however I wanted to demonstrate how you could have a plugin work in both the player, and picker processes.<\/dd>\n
log.php<\/b><\/dt>\n
Log what songs are being played into a clf format for parsing by webalizer. Agents are ‘artists’ and ‘pages’ are songs. Nice way to tell what’s getting played, and how often.M.<\/dd>\n
osd.php<\/b><\/dt>\n
On screen display of the current song and ratings of specified users. Eventually I plan on adding a wait_loop osd when people login\/logout.<\/dd>\n
scan.php<\/b><\/dt>\n
This is almost a ‘required’ plugin. Because if you’re not scanning directories for new songs, then how are you going to hear the new stuff? – almost complete.<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
