jingles-impro

A niche application to help "the music guy" during improv games. It will load buttons on the left part of the screen (for short jingles/loops) and a playlist on the right (for transitions between impros).

Building the jingles-impro project

This project needs:

• g++
• libgstreamer0.10-dev
• libqt4-dev

To generate the directory structure and the makefiles for the build:

  $ qmake

To compile in release mode:

  $ make

To compile in debug mode:

    $ make debug

To compile in both debug and release modes:

    $ make all

To compile several files in parallel, use the "-j" flag:

    $ make -j4 all

To make compilation even (much) faster, install and use ccache:

    $ sudo apt-get install ccache
    $ make -j4 CXX="ccache g++" all

To run the generated executables:

    $ ./release/jingles-qt
    $ ./debug/jingles-qt

Using the jingles-impro project

Since we haven't finished yet the UI to create your playlists, you write your config to filestoload.txt. Syntax is the following:

    file path,shouldLoop,start,end,fadeIn,fadeOut,showFileName,buttonOrList

• file path: currently no escaping: files with "," in them will not be properly loaded
• shouldLoop: boolean
• start: time in ms
• end: time in ms or -1 if track should be played to the end
• fadeOut: time in ms
• fadeIn: time in ms
• showFileName: boolean (true or false). Should the UI show the filename or the id3 'title' tag?
• buttonOrList: 'b' to show in the buttons, 'p' to show in the list
