All,
I've been SLOWLY working on adding a database backend to
gnome-mplayer. Still more work to do on it, but what I have done is
progressing nicely.
For example I have a folder of about 250 MP3 files in it, before the
changes the folder would take 20-30 seconds to load. After the
database changes the first load is still 20-30 seconds, but loads
after this one (ie after the database has been populated) the load is
near instant so it is a significant performance boost.
Right now the database is just storing metadata that it has gathered
before, so there not much in there. But as I figure out what I want to
do, I will potentially add more to the data store.
Current plans
Storing the cover art pointer in the database so I don't need to look
it up again and again.
Storing media position for media that is being watched, so media files
can be resumed.
Potentially having separate audio and video lists, perhaps something
tree structured. So this would involve reworking the playlist GUI, but
this is probably a few months from now, but if anyone wants to help in
this area I would appreciate it.
Kevin
