Supported file types?
I searched the whole songbird site for a reference were all supported filetypes are listed. I think thats not a very special question but i couldnt find it ;-)
By the way: Another question... I am (still) writing on a summary about songbird i have to do for the university . I've spend some time playing around with the Webpage API and it's definety hot stuff. Now i write a summary and dont get one thing ->There is a recommendation on the entry page of the webpage Api to this article:
http://www.urbanhonking.com/ideasford...
There it says:
There are three types of Libraries in Songbird — the Main Library, the Web Library, and the Site Library
I cant find the Web Library... Looking at your reference and playing around with it shows that actually:
var libraryID = "web";
var library = songbird.libraries(libraryID);
is the same as:
var library = songbird.siteLibrary;
I am not sure if i am getting something wrong???
Saludos!!!!

Inappropriate?File types: Songbird supports many file types. It might be easier for you to indicate what file types you would like to use.
I do not work on the Web API end...I will leave the up to another person to answer. -
Inappropriate?I need a reference list or an official answer in this board about supported filetypes otherwise i cant include this in my documentation ;-) Until now i left that part out.

Inappropriate?I am not sure what is 100% supported yet, but the following is a list of file-types we would like to support for 1.0:
Tier 1:
MPGA, MP3, MP4, M4V, M4A, MP4B, M4P, ASX, OGG, Speex, AAC, WMA, WMADRM, WMV, FLAC, DIVX, SMIL, 3GP
Tier 2:
LPCM, ADPCM, AMR
Other:
MPU
* Tier 1 file types get priority over all others (as far as getting them to work and supporting them is concerned).
* GStreamer has been integrated into the media core. Conceivably, any format that GStreamer supports will work with Songbird.

Inappropriate?Thx a lot ;-)

Inappropriate?The currently supported filetypes depend on what platform you're using, and aren't very reliable, and we don't have an explicit list. Here's a list of what we'll support in 1.0 (ashughes's list was based on an older draft, and isn't quite correct):
All platforms: mpeg audio layers 1,2,3 (this is mp3, as well as the less common mp2, mp1), FLAC, Vorbis, WAV, AIFF
Windows and mac: AAC, ALAC
Windows only: WMA
Additionally:
Windows only: WMA DRM
Mac only: AAC DRM
We're not explicitly listing what video codecs we support - video isn't a major focus right now.

Thanks for clarifying this Mike :) -
Inappropriate?So, a couple of things regarding the WebpageAPI (WPAPI):
1) the syntax you used is correct and identical for 2 cases:
var mainLib = songbird.mainLibrary;
var mainLibToo = songbird.libraries('main');
and
var webLib = songbird.webLibrary;
var webLibToo = songbird.libraries('web');
2) The Web Library used to exist in our service pane (on the left), was renamed to Media Web History and then removed from the pane altogether. It does still exist though and contains all the tracks that get created when a page that /doesn't/ use the WPAPI gets scraped for tracks. So if you do a skreemr search and get some tracks back that open the WebPlaylist (at the bottom of the webpage) then you'll have those tracks in your Web Library.
3) Site Libraries get created when a webpage uses the webpage api and are references by calling:
var siteLib = songbird.siteLibrary;
There isn't a matching songbird.libraries() call for the siteLibrary.
I’m excited you're using the WPAPI.
