Boss Ogg is a music player that plays music in ogg, mp3, and flac formats. It is a server-based software.
Boss Ogg is a server-based music player that supports various audio file formats, such as Ogg, MP3, and FLAC. The software is written in Python/C and utilizes SQLite as its database backend while using XML-RPC for client/server communication.
The software offers various clients for different programming languages like PHP, SDL, and curse (geezer). Its compilation and installation process are typical for Unix applications. Users can configure the program to their system using './configure' commands. './configure --help' is available to guide users with some accompanying flags. Additionally, the software's python modules can be built using 'make,' and users can install the program using 'make install.'
The latest Boss Ogg version comes with several new features that enhance user experience significantly. The new release requires GCC/G++ 3.0 and above, Python 2.2, SQLite 2.8.3, Pysqlite 0.4.3, libao 0.8.3, libvorbis/libvorbisfile 1.0 (for Ogg Voris support), libflac 1.1.0 (for Flac support), libmad 0.15 (for MP3 support), and libid3 3.8.3 (for id3/mp3 metadata support).
One of the notable improvements is the newly added port command-line switch, which further streamlines the playback process. Additionally, ConfigFile, which is responsible for loading config files, now functions bug-free. This feature is notably improved, as it now reloads config files properly. Finally, the -H switch in bosync has also been fixed, resulting in a more seamless experience for users.
