2015-01-03splitfx: add INDIR and INBASE environment variables
These are intended to act like `$(@D)' and `$(@F)' in GNU make(1) and to ease managing temporary files for some effects (e.g. noiseprof + noisered in sox) for splitfx users.
2014-12-28splitfx: use $FX env consistently in targets, too
While we're at it, document the splitfx manpage and make the example suitable for tests.
2014-12-27player: support "source restart" command
This becomes useful for systems without inotify when we're editing YAML (or whatever) files frequently and want changes to be reflected right away during playback. This is a weaker version of the plain "restart" command, which restarts the entire playback chain.
2014-12-22doc: flesh out "tl" subcommand docs
The following subcommands are now documented: * current * current-id * next * prev
2014-08-26doc: document "tl get"/"dtas-tl cat" escaping gotcha
We shell-escape filenames, so they may not show up properly when shuttled across the wire.
2014-06-06update copyrights and email address for 2014
I'm still normal, and still trolling, but 80x24.org will be epic :)
2013-12-01splitfx: support --no-dither/-D option
splitfx is incapable of knowing in 100% of cases whether dithering should be used (as it has no visibility into sox internals), so support disabling it completely via command-line. This is like the identical sox option, and passed to sox(1), too. This feature is useful for splitting already-mastered 16-bit recordings.
2013-09-30dtas-console: allow exit via 'q' key
It is easier to break out of dtas-console with one key than using a 2-finger combination.
2013-09-30player (protocol): rename "tl previous" to "tl prev"
This gives us consistency with the "cue prev" command, is easier-to-type, and is consistent in length with "tl next". We'll just map "previous" -> "tl prev" when we implement the MPRIS bridge.
2013-09-30player: support seeking based on embedded cuesheet (FLAC)
This adds the ability to seek internally within FLAC file based on the internal CUE sheet. Other formats may be supported in the future, but FLAC is the only one I know of which supports embedded cue sheets. Note: flac 1.3.0 is recommended for users of non-CDDA-compatible formats. See updates to dtas-player_protocol(7) for details.
2013-09-28player: support bypass for rate, bits, channel
This may be used to avoid automatic: * resampling (rate) * down/upmixing (channel) * dither/truncation (bits) Using any bypass mode means we can no longer guarantee gapless playback for audio collections where rate, channel, or bits vary. This can however be useful when CPU usage is too high. This may also be useful in audio engineering situations.
2013-09-22doc: add manpage for dtas-splitfx
We should document it so we remember how to use it.
2013-09-22dtas-tl: add "reto" command
This behaves like "goto", but takes a regular expression instead of a track_id
2013-09-10document dtas-tl(1) and the "tl" commands in the protocol
Everything should be documented, even if it's a work-in-progress. I reserve the right to change them...
2013-09-01doc/dtas-xdelay: reference sox/play env, update email address
Since dtas-xdelay uses play/sox, we need to document AUDIODEV, AUDIODRIVER, and SOX_OPTS environment variables. Also point comments to the mailing list while we're at it.
2013-09-01player: add "state dump" command to serialize state
This helps in case dtas-player is hit with SIGKILL or the system crashes. This does not fsync(2) as that could introduce delays on slow filesystems. Users should open the file manually and fsync themselves if they need to.
2013-09-01doc: add contact info to all documentation
Users need to be able to communicate with us.
2013-09-01doc: sink_examples: reference dtas-xdelay and friends
dtas-xdelay could use some more exposure, especially considering megabuck speakers have some of the same features :P
2013-09-01doc: reorganize sections around dtas-player
Move all sink examples to the dtas-player_sink_examples manpage. Remove redundant troubleshooting.txt, that now resides in dtas-player(1).
2013-08-31dtas-sourcedit: allow loading YAML from stdin
This should make it easy to save/load sink profiles depending on the users mood. One could easily create different profiles depending on different listening criteria. dtas-ctl source cat sox > casual.yml dtas-sourceedit sox < critical.yml
2013-08-28add license/copyright headers/footers to all files
All files we distribute in the tarball need to have a copyright/license specified for Savannah. We don't need the example state file anymore.
2013-08-28doc: protocol: question source ed tryorder, minor edits
Minor notes for future development.
2013-08-28doc: cleanup makefile formatting/naming
Hopefully slightly easier-to-read/parse for humans (especially non-English speakers).
2013-08-27doc: dtas-player_protocol: note proposed revamp
Better to break compatibility while the project is very young.
2013-08-27doc: add more examples to dtas-player_sink_examples
This adds examples for using ssh(1) with play(1)
2013-08-27doc: dtas-player_sink_examples manpage
This should hopefully make it easier to introduce users to sink usage.
2013-08-26add lightly-tested ffmpeg support
Since ffmpeg/ffprobe are wrappers around their libav-variants, I haven't had the chance to actually test with "real" ffmpeg, but the usage is probably similar enough to not matter.
2013-08-26player: flesh out multi-source in protocol/sourceedit
We should be fully-capable of managing any number of options to try sources in.
2013-08-25doc: add note about increased wakeups with dtas-console
Fancy displays waste power and can potentially harm audio quality, it's true!
2013-08-25unix_client: remove non-SOCK_SEQPACKET support
It's too much work for me to attempt to wedge SOCK_DGRAM or SOCK_STREAM support into this. SOCK_SEQPACKET is the best use of _my_ time and I have limited patience for crippled OSes. Linux has had this forever and FreeBSD 9 supports SOCK_SEQPACKET already, so maybe this will be another way to nudge developers of other OSes into supporting SOCK_SEQPACKET. If somebody can provide clean patches to support SOCK_DGRAM or SOCK_STREAM, I'll accept them.
2013-08-25doc: document new dtas-console key bindings
New features should be documented.
2013-08-25manpage installation updates
We should be compatible with "gem-man", as well as allowing installation to prefix ($HOME by default) via: make -C Documentation install-man
2013-08-25build: include prebuilt manpages with installation
This may make lives easier for users without pandoc.
2013-08-24documentation: initial manpages for all commands
We should probably document this before we forget it.
