In the HTML UI, the master panel should be changed to match the appearance in Charles' design, rearranging the elements to better match LiveSupport Studio.

In the playlist editor, please revisit and improve usability in the playlist editor's Save and Close buttons. Is there a way we can alter these buttons to make them more usable? Is there a way we can remove one of them?

In the HTML UI, a button should be added to the playlist editor that allows users to add a file from the library to the playlist. This 'browse files' button would open the search/browse window, allowing users to select the files they could add to their open playlist.

In the Scratchpad, Browse and Search modes, a playlist that is open appears as bold and crossed out. This should be changed to better indicate that a user cannot work with this playlist until it is closed - perhaps using a lock icon?

The 'add' button in Advanced Search is confusing, because every additional line of search criteria includes its own 'add' and 'drop' button. This should be simplified and clarified.

The playlist editor, both in the Station HTML UI and in the Studio, should prominently display the total playlist duration.

There's no upload-file-logo in the left corner of the MP upload file window as in all the other MP windows

Help messages need to be written for the installer program.

add the possibility of having 'notes' in the scheduler. a note has to following properties: - start time - end time - title (text) - contents (text) notes with themselves may not overlap, but notes and scheduled entries may overlap. (thus, it's like having two layers: a notes layer, which is consitent on its own, and a scheduled entry layer on top - with the two layers overlapping in any possible way) other than the above, notes don't trigger any event in the schedule - they are just placeholders of information. and API is needed to: - add a note - edit / update a note (move times, update content, etc) - remove a note - get notes for a given time frame - get the next note for a given time

Master pannel, now playing display's playlist-name and not the name of the items

Provide a nice UI for setting all possible system preferences. see wiki:UC-7

A segfault occurred while playing a file in live mode and using the mass import script at the same time. Output of the error message is below: root@chachi:/opt/livesupport/bin # ./gLiveSupport.sh using configuration file: /opt/livesupport/etc/gLiveSupport.xml using config file '/opt/livesupport/etc/gLiveSupport.xml' ./gLiveSupport.sh: line 57: 11326 Segmentation fault $gLiveSupport_exe -c $config_file

In the UI, there should be a 5px border between the outside of the window and any elements inside. See Charles' design document for specifics.

Is there a setting somewhere to set the default transition value for files in Live Mode? I can't seem to find it in gLiveSupport.xml.

If I try to resize those GUI windows without frame, the application chrashes in the moment i click the arrows in the lower-right corner.

Message on shell: Gdk-ERROR **: file gdkwindow-x11.c: line 5498 (create_moveresize_window): assertion failed: (mv_resize->moveresize_emulation_window == NULL) aborting... /opt/livesupport/bin/gLiveSupport.sh: line 57: 1625 Abgebrochen $gLiveSupport_exe -c $config_file

The master panel should have a border - at least for the bottom as the other windows; without it, it is very difficult to gauge where it is, especially when it's above a web page with a lot of white.

Because some of the requests between LS Studio and LS Station take a while to process, some users may get the impression that nothing is going on. In the LS Studio palettes, some visual indicator that a request is being processed might help prevent complaints about latency. The indicator could be like Firefox's 'loading' icon, or the rotating globe in IE, or could even be a smaller version of the animated GIF that the HTML UI uses. Regardless, we should give the user some indication - even if it's plain text - that the system is working.

Playable objects permit concurrent writing by two threads. In fact, the object breaks when one thread tries to write it while another thread is reading it. For example, <code> GLiveSupport gLiveSupport; Ptr<Playable>::Ref playable; // ... gLiveSupport.playOutputAudio(playable); gLiveSupport.setNowPlaying(playable); </code> does not work, because playOutputAudio() starts a new thread in which the Playable object gets modified (stores the acquire token).

render a playlist into an audio file (store a playlist as a single file as well, as it is heard when played)

original description:

When a user right-clicks a sound file in the HTML UI's scratchpad, one of the options that appears in the context-sensitive menu 'Preview'. If a user selects a playlist, the system ideally would send the entire playlist - including fades - as a single file.

To retrive next playlist which will be played, it would be nice to have direct method for it. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Currently I use Scheduler::displayScheduleMethod() with actual time to retrive playlist which is playing for current/next clip info box. But there is no safe way to retrive next playlist, I would have to gamble (next hour, next day, next week ...)

for some reason, the DEBIAN/control files are missing dependency information for the livesupport-station and livesupport-studio packages, though dependencies are properly defined for them in the source debian/control file...

In Live Mode, there are sometimes audible clicks at the beginning and end of files. This usually happens as the files are being loaded or unloaded. What's odd is that it isn't consistently happening. Is there any filter that could be applied in the first 1 seconds to suppress sudden waveform spikes?

Now we have 17 scripts in the root bin directory, can we rename / reorder the scripts to a more logical name. Can we have a better explaining what the script will do? It's for cvs install, It's for distribution install. Is it a idea to create directory's to make it more clear?

Users should have the option to upgrade a LiveSupport installation via a newer Install CD; in such a scenario, the install program would search for an LS program (probably either LS Studio or one of the LS station components) and retrieve its version info. If the install CD is newer than the installed version, the users should have the ability to upgrade the installation. Does the HD install keep the LiveSupport .debs anywhere on the hard disk? Those might be the easiest for comparing the versions.

On the install CD, the installer dialogue that asks which sound card should be used for which parts of output should also run a test to try sending sound signals to the card. Such a function would allow users to better understand which sound card maps to which /dev/dsp address. In addition, verbose names for the sound cards should be used instead of /dev/dsp0, 1, 2 and 3. A final improvement would allow the user to optionally input notes on which sound card is which. The notes could then be referred to in the rest of the program.

The install program hangs at the 'Configure Network' option when a user selects 'Yes' at the 'Use DHCP broadcast' dialog. This may be caused by our network configuration in the office, and the DHCP may be trapped by our firewall. In any case, there is no timeout, and the entire install program hangs.

The traditional Knoppix boot options are admittedly confusing to a non-technical person, but we should think of a way to call them up if needed. Currently the only options are Linux and Linux 2.6-1. The problem came up in my case after installing to the hard disk, when I had to change monitors, but cannot edit my XF86 monitor refresh rate because it automatically brings up KDE, causing my monitor to stop working.

Please change the desktop background file to the file enclosed here.

On the install CD, please use the latest version of Firefox. At the current time (2 June 2005) this would be 1.0.4

During boot, there is one blurry LS logo that appears against a sky- blue background. Would it be possible to replace that logo with one of higher quality? I think it's in X, because the one for the KDE startup looks great.

needs to be resolved in the CSS. don't know how, will ask around. finished for version 1.0

Please leave this for 1.1, but I wanted to write the report as I came across it. - doug When a user specifies a live stream to be added to the media library, they type '0 seconds' for the duration. However, at both the playlist editor and at the scheduler, there is no way to specify an end to a live stream. I suppose the most logical place for specifying the length of a live stream would be in the in the playlist editor; this would require us to first check to see if a live web stream has been added to the playlist in question, or if it is part of another playlist being added recursively. We will then have to somehow specify either the end time or duration of the live stream in question. The other option is that instead of putting '0' in the duration to specify the fact that it is live, users would pull down 'live web stream' from a stream type pulldown. Then they would set a duration, with the a maximum duration allowed being something like 24h.

The smart playlists feature would allow users to set metadata criteria in the place of specific file information; instead of setting a music playlist song by song, a user could specify all songs where genre is country and bpm is above 100. The smart playlist feature would also allow for random play. Because a smart playlist would not have a known length, the playlist would only play from it for a user- specified amount of time, fading out and moving on to the next playlist at the end time. Smart playlists therefore combine some aspects of search/browse with playlist functionality. For some inspiration, see how iTunes handles smart playlists.

Can we create a playlist generator to generate a playlist of music, jingles, commercials and the news at top of hour. The rule for generating a playlist are set witin a format template, from the format-template-editor.

On file upload, mainly in the mass import script, the system should check the StorageServer? to see if a file with identical (or relatively similar) metadata exists already in the system. If it does exist (for example, if someone has already uploaded a song), a dialog should appear warning the user and providing the option of cancelling, or ignoring all such warnings (Cancel, Continue, Ignore All)

Users should be able to upload M3U playlists, which would then be parsed and converted to LiveSupport's SMIL playlist format. Such a feature would have to check to see if the MP3 or Ogg files referenced by the M3U playlist exist in the LS database; if not, the user should be prompted to add them.

Two people can currently open the same playlist at the same time. This should be prevented by Alib, which should send an error saying "This playlist cannot be opened for editing because it is being used by [user]". Some changes can be made concurrently, but it is inconsistent. For example, I was able to make changes in metadata at the same time as Sebastian was making changes in transitions. But when I tried to change the transition, I got an error message saying 'ChangeFadeInfo? failed.'

With the mass import script, it would be extremely helpful to write a HOWTO explaining how to use Samba in addition to the mass import script, for users seeking to migrate MP3 files off their Windows-based computers over a LAN.

On a fresh install of livesupport, in modules/storageServer, when I run 'make check', I get the error message 'unable to load php_pgsql.so' (see log below).

I do have the postgresql extension installed, but in the Mandrake 10.1 package, the file is called /usr/lib/php/extensions/pgsql.so, not php_pgsql.so.

After I created a symlink php_pgsql.so -> pgsql.so, it has been working fine.
