Nectarine Demoscene Radio

There's even a link at the bottom of every page to that place

What about the music charts, the crap session prevention, and... hmm...

Remember the previous voting method, when I can vote the tunes just by pressing some color cubes directly in the homepage?

*BUMP* *BUMP*

How about users adding logos just like on pouet.net? You know, random select a logo from a list of user made logos which were checked by moderators.

Two things I thought about, when you click a (+) sign to request a song it should show some progress to indicate that you clicked it, now you just have to assume you hit it and wait until the padlock gets visible.

Also I think it would be nice with a search field without having to enter the search page. Is there anyone other than me that has incorrectly tried to use the one-liner as search ?

paging on favourites, mails. create a module which you can reuse for this!

Feature request:

In queue list put an estimated time of playing every song, (eg. will be played at 13:32 CET or just "13:30" ) please ?

That will prevent everyone from missing their songs

Time length from each audio file is already stored in DB so guess it's not a biggy.

gravisrs: it's a long-wanted request, but in the mean time, check out [EDIT] neutron's [/EDIT] Google widget that does exactly that:
http://www.xiteapplet.de/demovibes/

Danger made a queue utility too. Check out the news forum.

Are you planning some kind of normalisation ? Volume differs extreme on some tracks which is annoying when your ingame!

I agree with the volume thing. Just use the track replaygain info, and everything should be good. This might require a pass through all the current mp3s to make sure they are tagged, but that wouldn't take more than a day or so using Foobar to do it automatically. Also, the uploader could check for correct tags on new uploads and scan the new tracks if they don't exist.

Replaygain for the win

If someone skilled in c/c++ would implement it for ices0 (ices-zero), we could have it. As for now - undoable due to lack of coders.

Come one people, ain't there one who could fix us up with a nice streaming routine? Are we that lame?

Heck! We would even drop ices0 in favour of something custom, written from scratch for necta/demovibes only. If you know of someone who could help - poke him! Poke him till he agrees to help us.

REQUEST:
how about showing the latest forum entries in a box on the right?

arab, I can do it... however, currently I am tied up with my thesis. ask me in three months

edit after some meditating: if your server has enough crunching power, why not simply use mp3gain? just let it go over the entire colleciton. after that you only have to apply it to new uploads.

zipf: I had an idea for that, but few other people wanted it.. So it got dropped.

maep: i had bad experiences with mp3gain destroying some of the mp3's irreperably. everything that touches the data directly is out of the question.

I think this thread is still alive

I hope everyone is enjoying the new changes made recently Its been fun adding them

In the next update, I plan on making a massive change to the template system. This won't really affect anyone but arab or anyone else who hosts a server running the code. Your average user is not going to notice much difference except the changes you made

Noone can be completely happy with the changes made in the code all the time, so I plan on adding a dual template folder system. Basically, how it works is that there will be one template folder (global) supported by us, the programmers. There will be a 2nd folder named user which will initially be an empty folder. Normally when big updates are made, the site user (here it's arab) will want to tweak stuff, for example the oneliner.

With the new template system, the internals will prioritize order of template management. Instead of altering the main template, a copy is placed into the user folder and is editied there. No change is made to the global template. The system is smart enough to first check to see if a user template exists, and if it does then it will use that instead. So, problems when merging/updating become obsolete and allows the site to maintain its own special templates without affecting those in the updates.

I will be pushing this change to the codebase in the next day or so and will advise anyone who needs help on how to use it. This will be the first series of big steps towards customization of the site from an administrator perspective.

good ideas. We should also make css user-specific. I'll add code later on (if I still remember it by then)

please make the time in the oneliner black or atleast some different colour from what it is right now. I can't see it unless I mark it. It's blending in with the background too much!

I'm using windows xp and firefox 3.0.13

I have a request for admin section. We've got the ability to reupload a song. However, does this really work? Because When I do it, the song length don't change even tho old and new song differ in song length.

@Elrinth:
To fix that, after uploading the new song, set the length, bitrate fields etc. to blank (not 0, but completely delete the contents) then hit Save & Continue editing. The code re-calculates the fields for you.

Thanx FishGuy876! It works!

Anyways.. I've got something you can add to that mega ultra todo compendium you are writing a book on, making a video game of and being the director of movie of.
Could you add so there a count beside the admin options Upload queue, Pending Artists, Pending Groups which says how many new tunes, artists and groups there are? So we admins can easily see if there's any need to click those links.

Also ppl of site maybe can be interested in seeing newly approved artists and groups aswell as new uploads. But that one maybe is already on your list?


BTW FishGuy876.. You are doing tremendous great work! There's a few features I noticed here and there which noone told me about which is surprisingly awesome!

How about an option to purge the avatar, and maybe a preview of the current one in the profile section!

Edit: and an option to change the email address!
