16 <h1>Light Media Scanner</h1>
18 Lightweight media scanner meant to be used in not-so-powerful
19 devices, like embedded systems or old machines.
22 Provides an optimized way to recursively scan directories,
23 handling the parser in a child process, avoiding breaks of the
24 main process when parsers break (quite common with such bad libs
25 and tags). One can opt to use the single process version, but be
26 aware that if something bad happens during parsing, your
27 application will suffer.
30 Parsers are plugins in the form of shared objects, so it's easy
31 to add new without having to recompiling the scanner.
34 The scanner will use SQLite3 to store file-mtime association,
35 avoiding parsing files that are already up-to-date. This SQLite
36 connection and the file id within the master table 'files' are
37 handled to plugins for relationship with other tables.
40 Applications should then access the SQLite3 database to get all
41 the informations about scanned media. See tables and fields
43 href="http://lms.garage.maemo.org/api/index.html">http://lms.garage.maemo.org/api/index.html</a>
44 (end of the page). You can use any SQLite3 access library, for
45 instance you have SQLObject, SQLAlchemy and Storm for python,
46 Sequel for Ruby and possible others.
