Queries regarding GSoC project "Social music - Tomahawk features in Amarok"
Hello Everybody !!! I am very excited about this project and for the past few days i have trying to figure out the working of Tomahawk. Implementing its features in Amarok is a great idea !!!. As of now, i have found that Tomahawk uses "Playdar" a music content resolver, which has an embedded server that allows interaction between user, desktop apps and web apps and also the communication between various script resolvers. Since, tomahawk provides various resolvers ranging from twitter,youtube,spotify etc. I wanted to know that which features do we exactly need to implement in Amarok and how should i proceed for implementation of these features in Amarok ?? -- Regards, Vikash Anand IRC Nick : Vikash23 ___ Amarok-devel mailing list Amarok-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/amarok-devel

This is a good question, and seeking a good answer is one of the creative duties of the student as well ;) As for me, I think Amarok already has a very good web services framework, so any Tomahawk integration project should definitely focus on the "social music" aspect rather than the various resolvers. Namely, we'd like to be able to stream from a collection on another user's Amarok or Tomahawk instance. Ideally I'd like to see a "my buddies" GUI element with a contact list and a way to query and stream from my friends' collections. On the other hand, if Tomahawk already provides a library for that, then the GSoC project could be to integrate that library. Consider this bit of research as a requirement for qualification :) Cheers, -- Teo ___ Amarok-devel mailing list Amarok-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/amarok-devel

Data loss prevention is priority #1.
