Overview

[SQLite, SQLServer] .Net (Core) based application aimed to support cross-platform audio streaming / listening experience.

Right now the functional of the project is limited to:

• Music Explorer: Create music library and edit its content (e.g. tags, albums, genres, artists);
• Users data / Music Storage Database;
• ASP.NET Core WebServer / WebService with links to the music files stored on a remote server.

Current versions support :

• WPF .Net Core 3.1 (.Net 6+) builds for Windows;
• Web API and MediaStreamer using json, ASP.Net Core 8.0 (No source code shared, only web server running).
• NetStandard Xamarin Forms / MAUI several component's support (in development);
• WPF .Net 4.0 builds for Windows .Net Framework 4.0 support removed.

Usage - output:

• CrossPlatfrom JSON Db build (.Net 6) is available without any connection string specified (uses current user's AppData directory + /MediaStreamer); – Compile the application using Visual Studio for your target platform using the MediaStreamer.UI project. – Debug the code so that it is running fine on your target platform;
• Run MediaStreamer.WPF.NetCore3.1 / FirstFMCourse.exe from build directory.
• Specify your own database path in the constructor of DMEntities for NetCoreApp3.1 / NetStandard2.1
• Specify your own database path in "..\MediaStreamer\MediaStreamer.DataAccess.Net40\App.config" connection string for net40;

Current Tasks (TODO's):

Overall //TODO:

• (In Progress) Refactor into separate Methods those that consist more than of 16-21 lines;
• (In Progress) Delete unused code (if it's obsolete / not working);
• (In Progress) Connect WebScrobbler from Last.FM and its WEB APIs;
• (Done) Implement "Return to previous state (Composition / Player Position)" when application's closed and re-opened; – (In Progress) Implement fine logging and CrossPlatform desktop and mobile UI.

WPF.Components:

• (In Progress) CompositionsPage: Fix "Rename to Standard" check menu item button -> enable renaming the file to match pattern "Artist – Title (Year if exists)".

WPF.Net40 / WPFNetCore3.1 / DataAccess.Net40 / DataAccessNetCore3.1

• (Cancelled) Merge into single project WPF's with WPF Targeted net40 and netcoreapp3.1

RAMControl (WPF/Components):

• Integrate the XamarinMediaManager into the Windows (WPF) Application for both Net40 (EF 6) and NetCore3.1 (EFCore 5);
• Connect WPFComponents with RAMControl (Exclude Program, Session, SessionInformation, FirstFMPage from WPF, add their references to RAMControl);
• Move CompositionStorage to RAMControl.

XamarinForms:

• (v) Implement the "Player functionality" on "Browse" page: Stop, Pause, Next, Previous;

IO:

• Implement "Play several songs" cross-platformely with XamarinMediaManager (for both .Net 4.0 and .Net Core 3.1 (.Net 6)).
