Genre and Category DB with media import in backend

Open radiorob opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

During the install process or later, download a file and populate the DB with these values

In the back end observer admin panel have the option to download and install sample data:

~~* language~~ Now using ISO 639 ~~* nationality~~ Future will use ISO https://github.com/openbroadcaster/observer/issues/156

  • categories
  • genre
  • scheduled media examples

Package this into a simple file for down load from web site

We have royalty free reference materials; audio, images and short video clips we populated Pyrate 3 IMG.

Is this something that will query CDDB? to autofill missing info (does CDDB exist and function still?)

This is to prepopulate with media, PL and schedules so user can just turn on and sample system setup and running. What you are talking about is in the server code under tools/sync that does a acoustic fingerprint lookup of MusicBrainz to update genres and album art. It is a CLI tool, so no GUI https://github.com/openbroadcaster/observer/tree/5.3-develop/tools/sync
