Editing the UI

i use Qt Designer, so download that if you want to try editing the UI. good luck

# generate python ui from qt designer .ui file
pyuic5 ui.ui -o ui.py
# shell script to do the same thing
./create_ui.sh

Config

config file and databases (libraries) are stored in user home directory .config folder

cd ~/.config/musicpom

~~when table is focused, start typing to match against the primary sort column~~
~~remember last window size~~
~~automatically fix broken config before loading app (new config options added)~~
~~allow spectrum analyzer to fall when playback stops or song is paused~~
~~ability to delete playlist~~

QMediaPlaylist

https://doc.qt.io/qtforpython-5/PySide2/QtMultimedia/QMediaPlaylist.html#PySide2.QtMultimedia.PySide2.QtMultimedia.QMediaPlaylist

playback modes (normal, repeat playlist, repeat 1 song, shuffle)

Use PySide2.QtMultimedia.QMediaPlaylist.PlaybackMode ? Use PySide2.QtMultimedia.QMediaPlaylist.shuffle() ?

autoplay next song in all modes

Use PySide2.QtMultimedia.QMediaPlaylist.next() after implementing playlist?

playback rate audio quality fix?

https://doc.qt.io/qtforpython-5/PySide2/QtMultimedia/QAudioDecoder.html#qaudiodecoder Since Qt 5.12.2, the url scheme gst-pipeline provides custom pipelines for the GStreamer backend.

player = new QMediaPlayer;
player->setMedia(QUrl("gst-pipeline: videotestsrc ! autovideosink"));
player->play();

misc

database playlist autoexporting
.wav, .ogg, .flac convertor
automatic "radio" based on artist or genre
title artist album labels force fit the screen - so the window gets mega expanded with long text. bad
