hi,
here are the specs for an application a company I consult with wants to build, anyone interested in joining to build/consult on this please come forward. They will pay.
specs:
a. Music archive (presently containing about 4000 hours of classical carnatic music, which will grow to about 10000 hours (about 1TB of disk space)) - mp3 format
b. Music can be accessed by artist, composer, raga, tala, album etc (the usual metadata)
mod-apache-libid3, http://maketecheasier.com/install-vlc-shares-in-ubuntu-and-stream-videos-to-...
c. Access through 20 touchscreen kiosks with headsets (PCs with touch screen monitors) connected to the server
That is easy. touchpads selection but 7.1 playback thru another amp is tricky - done in my home automation system.
d. Admin facility at the backend to organize, index, sequence etc
e. Touchscreen interface for the listener to choose tracks/albums by various metatags
a,b and d can be done using django or some such framework. I do not have much of a clue about c and e.
or is there some open source app that does most of this and can be customised?
My current setup is one media server, 3 wifi touch pads which act as interface, but playback is on the mediaplayer connected to 7.1 150WRMS tot amp. Also included LCD projection / HDMI TV 1080p, lighting, ac, screen, curtain and fan control, security system.
