Prismiq Indexer

Tonight I received my Prismiq MediaPlayer, and it's pretty sweet. I'm using the 3.11b Linux media server, but they don't have a frontend or indexing support. They do have simple XML file formats and examples.

Here's a simple audio indexer.

Given a media-root directory, this will create media.xml and media.map entries for all .mp3 files, and create a playlist.xml entry for each directory which contains 1 or more .mp3 files.

What it doesn't do, yet, is:

Handle audio files other than mp3s which end in .mp3.
Handle .m3u playlist files.
Handle images.

Usage

Usage example:

# ./mserver-indexer.pl --output [dir] [full media root path]
./mserver-indexer.pl --output mserver-files /home/jsled/mp3/rip

See the code for more details.

None. Absolutely none. It works for me. It may trash your machine. Tough noogies.
