RBTransferTarget

RBTransferTarget — interface for sources that can receive track transfers

Types and Values

Includes

#include <rb-transfer-target.h>

Description

Sources that can accept track transfers should implement this interface and call the associated functions to perform transfers. The source needs to be able to construct target URIs for transfers, and can optionally perform its own processing after transfers have finished. The source must also provide a GstEncodingTarget that describes the formats it accepts.

Functions

rb_transfer_target_build_dest_uri ()

char *
rb_transfer_target_build_dest_uri (RBTransferTarget *target,
                                   RhythmDBEntry *entry,
                                   const char *media_type,
                                   const char *extension);

Constructs a URI to use as the destination for a transfer or transcoding operation. The URI may be on the device itself, if the device is mounted into the normal filesystem or through gvfs, or it may be a temporary location used to store the file before uploading it to the device.

The destination URI should conform to the device's normal URI format, and should use the provided extension instead of the extension from the source entry.

Parameters

target

an RBTransferTarget

 

entry

a RhythmDBEntry being transferred

 

media_type

destination media type

 

extension

extension associated with destination media type

 

Returns

constructed URI


rb_transfer_target_track_added ()

void
rb_transfer_target_track_added (RBTransferTarget *target,
                                RhythmDBEntry *entry,
                                const char *uri,
                                guint64 filesize,
                                const char *media_type);

This is called when a transfer to the target has completed. If the source's track_added method returns TRUE, the destination URI will be added to the database using the entry type for the device.

If the target uses a temporary area as the destination for transfers, it can instead upload the destination file to the device and create an entry for it, then return FALSE.

Parameters

target

an RBTransferTarget

 

entry

the source RhythmDBEntry for the transfer

 

uri

the destination URI

 

filesize

size of the destination file

 

media_type

media type of the destination file

 

rb_transfer_target_track_add_error ()

void
rb_transfer_target_track_add_error (RBTransferTarget *target,
                                    RhythmDBEntry *entry,
                                    const char *uri,
                                    GError *error);

This is called when a transfer fails. If the source's impl_track_add_error implementation returns TRUE, an error dialog will be displayed to the user containing the error message, unless the error indicates that the destination file already exists.

Parameters

target

an RBTransferTarget

 

entry

the source RhythmDBEntry for the transfer

 

uri

the destination URI

 

error

the transfer error information

 

rb_transfer_target_should_transfer ()

gboolean
rb_transfer_target_should_transfer (RBTransferTarget *target,
                                    RhythmDBEntry *entry);

Checks whether entry should be transferred to the target. The target can check whether a matching entry already exists on the device, for instance. rb_transfer_target_check_duplicate may form part of an implementation. If this method returns FALSE, the entry will be skipped.

Parameters

target

an RBTransferTarget

 

entry

a RhythmDBEntry to consider transferring

 

Returns

TRUE if the entry should be transferred to the target


rb_transfer_target_get_format_descriptions ()

GList *
rb_transfer_target_get_format_descriptions
                               (RBTransferTarget *target);

Returns a GList of allocated media format descriptions for the formats supported by the target. The list and the strings it holds must be freed by the caller.

Parameters

target

an RBTransferTarget

 

Returns

list of descriptions.

[element-type utf8][transfer full]


rb_transfer_target_check_category ()

gboolean
rb_transfer_target_check_category (RBTransferTarget *target,
                                   RhythmDBEntry *entry);

This checks that the entry type of entry is in a suitable category for transfer. This can be used to implement should_transfer .

Parameters

target

an RBTransferTarget

 

entry

a RhythmDBEntry to check

 

Returns

TRUE if the entry is in a suitable category


rb_transfer_target_check_duplicate ()

gboolean
rb_transfer_target_check_duplicate (RBTransferTarget *target,
                                    RhythmDBEntry *entry);

This checks for an existing entry in the target that matches the title, album, artist, and track number of the entry being considered. This can be used to implement should_transfer .

Parameters

target

an RBTransferTarget

 

entry

a RhythmDBEntry to check

 

Returns

TRUE if the entry already exists on the target.


rb_transfer_target_transfer ()

RBTrackTransferBatch *
rb_transfer_target_transfer (RBTransferTarget *target,
                             GSettings *settings,
                             GList *entries,
                             gboolean defer);

Starts tranferring entries to the target. This returns the RBTrackTransferBatch that it starts, so the caller can track the progress of the transfer, or NULL if the target doesn't want any of the entries.

Parameters

target

an RBTransferTarget

 

settings

GSettings instance holding encoding settings

 

entries

a GList of entries to transfer.

[element-type RB.RhythmDBEntry]

defer

if TRUE, don't start the transfer until

 

Returns

an RBTrackTransferBatch, or NULL.
