PPlayer

[general_salsa]

I found this music player on the autoit forums, All credit goes to Pascal257.This requires you to have your own libary.



Hey there!

After posting the player in "private" Chat-Forum I'd like to release PPlayer to the whole community.
As I wrote in my other posting, I'm not going to post any code because its more than 2,1k lines of code and more than weeks of work on this and I don't wont it to be copied...
But I'm open to send parts of the code on request...
Just send me an E-Mail to [email protected] with the requested part of the Player...

Those are the special features:

What is PPlayer?
PPlayer is a mediaplayer that supports regular codecs like mp3,wma,ogg etc.

Why PPlayer?
There are some reasons why to use PPlayer instead of another one.
1. PPlayer has an intergrated songsearchsystem. While listening to your music you can choose one (or more) of 8 playmodi and the player will search itself for more songs to hear.
2. You can hear your favorite PodCast within PPlayer. Just press the PodCastbutton, enter the feedadress and select a program:
The player downloads the song and automaticaly plays it.
3. Your database gets updated with a webserver holdig any data about interpreters/albums/titles.
Those infos are shown to you and used by the songsearchsystem.
4. Of course PPlayer has any feature another mediaplayer holds.

Check it out!


Those are the features you can see...
I also included an autoupdater, downloader for the podcasts, databasecontroller, popup for songinfo and verifycation.
Helpfile comes soon, but until finishing the helpfile please ask your questions on the forum per post/pm or per email...

Some words to the Playmode-Module:
If you choose "Song" then the player searches with the information given by the song. (Artist/Album etc)
Else you choose "Keyword" it searches for the specified keyword.. (eg.: "Metallica")
Autosearch will search everytime a new song begins...
A new mode (not on the screenshot) is Autoselect... on default it's on but if you disable it you'll get a list of the found songs and you can choose.

The rest will be explained in the helpfile...

The design is not the best but I think the features are more important wink.gif

How to listen to Streams

1. Open the Stream-GUIvia the "Menu"-Button
2. Enter the URL of the m3u-file of the radio you want to hear
3. Click "Play" or press "ENTER"

PPlayer will queue the Stream onto the playlist.

How to use 'PlayMode'
The PlayMode-GUI is meanly the main part of PPlayer. PPlayer was build to play music itself and make it easy to find songs. You find everything in the PlayMode-GUI to use the inbuild functions of PPlayer like automatical song search. Notice: You have to create a Database first.

1. Change information input: You can either choose that PlayMode gets the information(like interpreter,title etc.) for search from the active song or from your keyword you enter in 4. Changed in 0.8.4: If an keyword is given it will use it else the information from the active song.
2. If selected PlayMode will automatically search a new song while play.
3. If selected PlayMode will choose a song randomly else you can select a song from a list with songs found by PlayMode.
4. Keywordinput: You can seperate your keyword with spaces
5. Searchparameter
6. Manually start a search
7. Change the range of similar bands available for search. (Min: 1, Max: 10)

E.g.:

1. Selected "Song" and "Album" will search for a song with the same album as the active song and list them.
2. Selected "Keyword" and "Genre" with entered "thrash metal" will search for songs with genre "thrash metal" and list them.
3. Same search as 2. but with selected "Autoselect" won't list the songs found but will queue a random song found.
4. Selected "Repeat" will always repeat the active song.
5. Selected "All" will randomly select a song from every song in the database ignoring the over parameters and the searchinput.

How to use 'Database'

1. Enter the part of the folder containing the music.
2. Click "Create" or "Update".


PPlayer - Database will search in the entered folder and recursivly for music.
If you have other songs on another HD or in another folder you can choose "Update" to add the other songs.
If you have added new songs to your musicfolder you can update the database using "Update" too.

Notice: Everytime you create a database the old one will be deleted. Use "Update" instead.

How to use 'SongView'
PPlayer will automatically update your PPlayer SongView Profile (You're able to deactivate this in 0.8.3.6).
You just need to enter the SongView Menu and get the required code (BBCode/html).
Put this code into your signature on a Forum or on one of your blogpostings (about PPlayer? =)).
Then specify a Nickname displayed on your profile.

You can change the text too, but I'm working on a better design of the profiles disabling this.

You should make it open source, that way it will grow much larger and get a lot more features and improvements.

But still, that's your decision, GJ anyways.
