jankMusicPlayer

Hello and welcome to my jank music player.

Features

It plays music... hopefully...
Attempts to reduce disk accesses by loading songs into memory and not unloading them
Supports all formats your FFMpeg build supports
A usable GUI (eventually)

Boring Technical Details

Audio is transcoded into WAV (byte array) via FFMpeg pipe (ffmpeg -i <input file> -f wav pipe:1), and album arts in PNG (ffmpeg -i <input file> -an -vframes 1 -c:v png -f image2pipe -). While extracting album art, metadata is read using the FFMpeg "error" output. Audio is played via SourceDataLine.

A copy of the audio data is stored in memory, after the song is first played (or if preloaded). This serves as a "cache" to avoid decoding the audio files again in the same session. You can "precompile" ALL songs if you wish to take on Google Chrome in the realm of memory usage.

Why are you using SourceDataLine when Clip supports WAV?

For whatever reason FFMpeg piping messes up something and cause unsupported format error or Audio Data < 0. However, playing a WAV file converted cia FFMpeg terminal commands is fine. IDK.

Requirements

FFMpeg via system path

Notes

Music library path, recursive scanning, FFMpeg, etc., is configurable in config.wah.
The GUI is very pretty and totally not extremely proof of concept.
Tested with the version latest FFMpeg dev build. As of the time of writing, 2023-05-15-git-2953ebe7b6.
Using older versions may or may not cause issues. Ex. 5.1.2 may cause such as metadata image extraction deadlock... or other random issues.

Error codes (Song validity status)

Integer.MINIMUM_VALUE - no code assigned
