- !fishmpeg ⌐ Charlie Baylis
- ==========================
-
- Intro
- =====
-
- Double click on an Audio MPEG file. Make sure it has the correct filetype
- (AMPEG or &1ad)
-
- requirements: StrongARM
-
-
- How to use the playlist feature
- ===============================
-
- The playlist feature isn't fully implemented - you can't view or create
- playlists using !fishmpeg yet.
-
- To create a playlist, create a text file containing full pathnames of each
- MPEG file you wish to play, each separated by a newline or a space.
-
- To play the playlist, drag the text file to the fishmpeg icon.
-
- Thanks
- ======
-
- Many thanks to Peter Teichmann for his AudioMPEG module and help with using
- it. Without that none of this would have been possible.
-
-
- Bugs
- ====
-
- pause button takes about a second to operate
- playback is paused if another application doesn't multitask smoothly or
- when a window is dragged across the screen.
-
- To do (in order of priority)
- =====
-
- Replace the replay sound codecs with something better
- support 16bit hardware properly
- Move playback/buffering code into a module
- adjustable volume
- fast forward (needs support to be added to AudioMPEG)
- Improve the icon!
- improve the playlist support in the front end.
- streaming using http (low priority)
- any more? email me!
-
- the top four items will be implemented together and should make the
- program much nicer.
