Multi-Query from text files

Eric Seidel — Sun, 09 Jun 2002 14:37:35 -0000

Implement a way in which to pipe a text file into OpenAG, or drop
one from the GUI and have it multi-query.

This is functionatlity which would tie in with the previous FR, # of
adding 6's Spiffy Audiogayx Query Tool functionality.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/agqt/

This would enable a user (like myself) who tends to not always be
online, to write down a bunch of query's in a text file, and then just
drop said file on the app and have them all get autoqueried and
then downloaded.

Cool, eh?

Album Query

Eric Seidel — Sun, 09 Jun 2002 14:30:43 -0000

Add the ability to query album's etc.

Best way to do that is probably just to integrate functionality from

6's Audiogalaxy Query Tool, available here:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/agqt/

Have to of course design a nice Cocoa GUI on it... but yeah, add it
at least to the CLI version for the time being.

A Smart & Delayed/"Kind" Quit

Anonymous — Sun, 09 Jun 2002 02:37:29 -0000

It would be nice if there were a "Kind Quit" in the file menu. Selecting this would make it so no new transfers initiated, and the program would automatically terminate when all active transfers finished.

Access Controls

Eric Seidel — Fri, 07 Jun 2002 07:15:10 -0000

A user has asked me to add the followin access controls to
libOpenAG:

control the # of people who access the machine

the # of songs each can access at a time

the # of uploads, # of downloads.

Should be possible. Not really very hi priority, but any interested
person is encouraged to take a look...

the idea would be that you check the persons IP, or something...
and then boot them at some stage, if you have more than the
desired number... or you boot them before the connection starts...
whatever. but somehow you brute force control how many people
can access the machine and how many songs they can get at one
time. Not very useful since AG limits you to 10 connections (I
think) anyway... but for those out there who only want to have 1
upload going at a time, or only 3, but they each have to go to
different people... this might be an interest to them.

split client and GUI

Anonymous — Wed, 05 Jun 2002 23:15:14 -0000

It would be useful to split the client and the gui,
this would enable alternative GUIs, but it would give
me the opportunity to run the client on my 24-7 linux
box and have the gui on my desktop G4 running OSX.

Folder Shortcuts/Buttons

Eric Seidel — Tue, 04 Jun 2002 08:32:33 -0000

I recieve this in an email today:

--begin--
Hi Eric, just wanted to praise you for your work on Open AG, my
dad and i love it! it's much better than that shall not be named os9
application which would constantly redownload songs on top of
each other. Just one little tidbit i thought might improve it, is i
miss having a button that opens opens my share and downloads
folder. Don't know if your planning on adding that in, just thought it
would be a useful shortcut.
--end--

Shouldn't be hard to do, I just would need to decide on an
intereface for that... and how do we handle that OpenAG has
multiple shared directories? Do we have a drawer off to the side?
If we implement file name sorting, that would make sense....

Rollback on download

Shachar Raindel — Sat, 01 Jun 2002 22:21:02 -0000

Since we are using protocol v520L, the server might
sometime tell us to resume file other from the file we
started to download. In the good case, it reasults in a
sync error, which makes a little noise when the file is
played. In the bad case, it reasults in skips in the file.
The solution is simple - rollback the download few
KBytes when resuming ( 6 KB will be enough for must
cases), and compare the recieved data to the file we
have on disk. If they match, continue as usual. If they
don't match, restart the download.

Set minimum download speed

Anonymous — Fri, 31 May 2002 06:15:10 -0000

I am new to AudioGalaxy but it appears that you cannot do
concurrent downloads. If this is true, it would be nice if you could
specify a minimum download speed such that if the download
slows down below this limit, that download is cancelled and the
client moves on to the next file on the list. Otherwise a long list of
files can take forever if there is just one slow file on the list.

better error log

Anonymous — Tue, 07 May 2002 15:41:20 -0000

Neither a feature nor a bug, but it would be better if a user couldn't see the errors that other users created. Otherwise it wouldn't fit into the multi-user concept.
