Just such a simple thing as my media library is remote means I would like to have my database remote. I think of freevo as thin frontend to my media library. Something I want to access from various places. I would like to be able to integrate freevo into my webpage (to complex to fit inside freevo) to be able to get things like "top 10 songs listend to last week". I would also like to have my music store index when I add new songs to improve speed. This might be posible with freevo, but again my media store is not located on the same computer that runs freevo. There are several other reasons as well so some form of pluginable persistance I think would be nice.None of this is MySQL specific, but like I said, I prefer to use a lightweight DB like Sqlite, it's got minimal system requirements and setup time, (i.e. no setup time) and it serves the purpose of a relational database store, but if someone wanted to write for MySQL, they could do it.
Yes, but as I understand it it is imposible for another application to access sqlite at the same time as freevo ? (or am I wrong here ?)
ie. have my webserver access the data at them same time that freevo is updateing it without using freevo as a frontend to the database (notice the webserver is not freevo in this case).
And what I wanted was not to change to mysql (especially as I dont really like mysql) but to have an open database standard something along the lines of an object persistance layer like jdo/hibernate/* ie. to move the database code away from freevo and allow it to be swapped at will. I think this was mentioned previously.
What I would like to store inside the DB is such things like all ID3v2 tags, playlists, etc, etc...Even the current implementation sqlite implementation does that, and it's pretty much just for audio and isn't done yet.
Oki, have to look it over then, sounds promising... Is that avalible in the 1.4.1 or do I need to grab the CVS to get access to it ?
(how do I access it /enable it is it the --cache option ?)
