For tracks, we will fetch the duration from the ID3 tag information, alongside genres. These genres will be used for multiple purposes, e.g. search. At the moment however, it is used in koto_album_add_track to collate a list of genres that apply to the album based on the contents of it.
We can have multiple genres, we separate them by semi-column as is the case for TagLib. We will attempt to filter and rename some select genres to enforce consistency.
Changed position and playback position from guint to guint64.
Implemented multiple koto utility functions:
- koto_utils_join_string_list
- koto_utils_string_contains_substring
- koto_utils_string_to_string_list
Drastically simplified koto_utils_replace_string_all.
Implement koto_track_helpers_init to initialize our hashtable.
Fixed a segfault during first load of Koto where we were attempting to get the playback engine last used volume in koto_config_save, when the KotoPlaybackEngine was not yet initialized. Default it to 1.0.
Every KotoArtist now has a dedicated KotoPlaylist that is dynamically generated during KotoArtist initialization and contains references to all KotoTracks.
Fixed weird parsing error with some track names that had single quote (ew) and made changes so various parts of the UX would not freak out when we didn't have an album associated with a track.
Added KOTO_IS_CARTOGRAPHER macro and added that type check across all cartographer functions. Added more type checks and dropped use of g_object_get for UUIDs where possible.
Implemented koto_album_get_uuid function to be on parity with other structs like Artist, Playlist, Track.
Fix the displaying of discs and tracks in an album on initial index due to missing cartographer add track call.
Cleanup lots of double empty newlines. Updated ptr spacing in uncrustify config to enforce consistency in pointer char (`*`) spacing.
Fix code related to changing from temporary playlists to permanent ones.
Implement new centralized Koto Paths for defining our variables and revdns name for consistency.
Updated Album View to leverage KotoCoverArtButton component.
Started refactoring our theming to support multiple variants. It isn't where I want it yet but we'll get there.
Implemented Notification support using notify-send as opposed to libnotify. This is because notify_notification_send does a synchronous dbus call to org.freedesktop.Notification and typically results in DBus timeouts. In the near future we will rewrite this to just use our own proxy and do an async send.
Refactored our GVariant metadata generation for a KotoIndexedTrack into a dedicated koto_indexed_track_get_metadata_vardict function. This can then be used across our playback engine and MPRIS.
Started work on the playlist creation dialog. To facilitate my desired UX for dialogs, I changed the immediate child of KotoWindow to being a GtkOverlay, with the "child" being the primary layout GtkBox and the "overlay" being any active dialog.
There is no background on the dialogs yet, or really anything meaningful in it besides the GtkImage to show the playlist image as well as a GtkEntry for the label. Upon clicking the image, you will be presented with a GtkFileChooserNative, which will allow us to support various platforms aside from Linux (if we desire) but more importantly support desktop portals and the appropriate picker for each desktop environment.
This dialog is currently hooked into the + button in the Playlist nav section.
The intent is to also support drag-and-drop when possible, so you can drag an image file onto the GtkImage for it to set it to the playlist image.
Fixed various compiler warnings, such as:
- Unused variables (cast these as void so compiler knows to ignore them).
- Use g_hash_table_add instead of g_hash_table_insert since value does not matter and will complain about not casting TRUE as a pointer.
- Fixed some casting.
Fixed up Desktop file and fleshed out Appstream data. Use validate-relax in the appstream test or it gets cranky about screenshots missing. I know...the app is not ready yet. Get over it AppStream.
Added Visual Studio Code tasks and some C/C++ Extension setting files.
Use these new functions as well as new signals to simplify toggle state in playerbar, as well as ensure changes over MPRIS allow for the updating of our UX.
Implement method handlers and relevant setters for MPRIS support, as well as a koto_update_mpris_playback_state used to notify on state changes.
Clean up some debugging.
Implemented the following getters for MPRIS:
- CanQuit
- CanRaise
- HasTrackList
- Identity
- DesktopEntry
- SupportedUriSchemas
- SupportedMimeTypes
- Metadata
- CanPlay / CanPause / CanSeek
- CanControl
- PlaybackStatus
Implemented a koto_push_track_info_to_builder function that enables us to easily push KotoIndexedTrack as well as associated album and artist info to a GVariantBuilder for use in a GVariant for various getters.
Implemented a koto_update_mpris_info_for_track function that emits a signal for PropertiesChanged + "Metadata" when our track info changes.
Implemented playlist shuffling and repeat toggle button functionality.
Swapped out a considerable amount of NULL checks for proper KOTO_IS_BUTTON and GTK_IS_VOLUME_BUTTON macro checks.
Implemented GQueue played_tracks add / removal functions for KotoPlaylist, ensure randomizing works properly.
Start work on MPRIS.
Implement functionality for gracefully showing the play button on top of KotoAlbumArt images. Implemented a new koto_indexed_album_set_as_current_playlist function for setting an album as the current playlist, useful when clicking to play an album via its artwork.
Implement reading of artists, albums, and tracks. Fixed a bug related to unnecessary file name parsing. Fix SIGSEGV related to file name parsing and koto_utils_get_filename_without_extension.
Implemented an unquote string function for use when reading database entries. Try to fix some weird random rendering issues. Changed where we are doing some KotoPageMusicLocal widget construction.
This database will be stored in the user's XDG_DATA_HOME directory under a folder called `com.github.joshstrobl.koto`.
Refactored Koto Track Listing into a dedicated Disc View component, break apart out CDs / Discs into relevant Disc View components, sorting them by the disc and showing a label if there are more than one discs / CDs.
Started using the row-activated event for our Artist GtkListBox instead of having press events on the artist buttons. Makes switching between artists far more reliable. Added a slide left / right stack animation and set its animation to 400ms so it's in the goldilocks zone (IMO) of not being too fast or too slow.
Fix a warning related to scale factor fetching in the PlayerBar.
Remove unused glade UI file. Added CSS classes to various components. Fix some alignment issues. Renamed our albums_strip to favorites_list.
Implement recursive file parsing in KotoIndexedAlbum with the intent of using it for "discs" / CD, useful for albums like Foo Fighters: In Your Honor that have 2 or more CDs. Still need to work on refining this further.
Add stub function in our album view for a planned separation of the track listing so we can do it based on discs and other depth-of-3 sub-folders.
