Was discussing QTScript calls planned for and already in Amarok 2 in the freenode channel tonight. Seems a good portion of the functionality I’d need for my media device script would need to be added into Amarok as it stands. Which means I’m back to C++ for the entire process, and to build what needs to be included into Amarok 2. Little bit more work than I was thinking when I first thought to try this.

I took a look at an example script for Amarok 2 which pulled lyrics for songs. This I then used in order to write a small script in order to search YouTube for related videos. I’m not sure exactly what it would do, but this is more for my edification then any real work.
Right now I am working on learning QT script so I can build an Amarok 2 script for transcoding media for media devices. This includes music, videos, and uploading pictures. Which means I will need to figure out how to get access to lame, mencoder, and other things for meta data.

With the newer updates to KDE and Amarok the dev teams have set the entire thing up to make some things easier. Plasma scripts and apps are developed in any scripting language one can ask for. You can even write your apps in C++ and make due rather well. I’m trying to decide if I want to try to learn C++ and go from there. I’m not entirely certain.
One thing I want is a script in Amarok that would transcode and prep videos for transfer to iPod and other media devices. However I’m still trying to get my mind around it all. Little help would be nice.
The biggest issue I see is the fact that it’s all javascript. I’m not certain how easy Java script is supposed to be as I’ve not been one to code often. I’m trying to figure it out, but it’s not easy.
Any suggestions or options please drop me a line and let me know.
