Hi there,
before I go and open a ticket in Jack 2's Github issue tracker, requesting a new release, I thought I'd ask whether this is already in the making and ready in the short term? IMHO the metadata support should be made available to Jack 2 users as soon as possible, so developers can rely on it being available with a broader user base. Also, the latest release is now almost 1 1/2 years old. Cheers, Chris _______________________________________________ Jack-Devel mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.jackaudio.org/listinfo.cgi/jack-devel-jackaudio.org |
Metadata support? Wow... I really want that for my application. That's a huge problem solver. Where can I find proposed API info? Thanks, Ethan...

The metadata API has been in existence for a couple of years already in JACK 1: http://jackaudio.org/api/group__Metadata.html But unfortunately not many people know about it (I only was made aware of it a couple of months ago), maybe in part because the only non-technical description of it was lost, when the jackaudio.org web site was compromised and then completely replaced a few years ago. I restored a page about the topic from the old web site to the curernt Github wiki a few weeks ago: https://github.com/jackaudio/jackaudio.github.com/wiki/JACK-Metadata-API Chris _______________________________________________ Jack-Devel mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.jackaudio.org/listinfo.cgi/jack-devel-jackaudio.org |
Darn! I was thinking something more along the line of an API that could handle song tags, to time-stamp the start of a new track playing into or out-of a jack port. I guess I'm back to using MIDI sysex or maybe a unix socket. It doesn't look like the metadata API would work well for noticing and with time-stamping changes. Ethan...

Personally I'd love to see a more pro-active project lead. It's a constraint given by available time most probably.

I (being the current jack maintainer) am right now in-between jobs, and then moving to another country. The beginning of the year had some complications of their own as well... There were some changes made in jack2 git repo to make development better (the integration of a develop branch for one). I will write something about this later on. Anyway, if you want to see a release coming faster, please help by testing the new jack meta-data api. It is the only remaining blocker for this release. See https://github.com/jackaudio/jack2/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+milestone%3Av1.9.13 I do not want to make a release with a new feature, that in the ends turns out to have a nasty bug or something. This will end up being shipped in "stable" distributions and be frozen in there for a very long time... Hopefully now with both jack1 and jack2 having meta-data, more developers will make use of it. For more information about meta-data usage in jack, see https://github.com/jackaudio/jackaudio.github.com/wiki/JACK-Metadata-API _______________________________________________ Jack-Devel mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.jackaudio.org/listinfo.cgi/jack-devel-jackaudio.org |
