Music player - Our primary use of MQTV is as a virtual "Juke Box". We have a collection (<2Tb) of over 20,000 unadulterated .wav files. All the files have been named to the same naming convention allowing sorts by: Date, Artist Last Name, Creation Date or File Type. We initiated this collection in 1996 as .mp3 file but through the years use of the CD's original 16bit 44kh has been adopted.
The user interface is intended to be displayed on a 1080p HDMI TV so plugging in a HDM cable will supply sound and picture to the flat panel TV. It is suggested however that the audio be re routed to a HiFi system with speakers. In our music collection we have associated .rtf text and .jpg picture files for each album. MQTV is capable of continuous unattended playback displaying each .wav file with its associated picture and text.
The images associated to the display are for the most part specially prepared 1080x1920 .jpg images containing cover graphic, other graphics and text (song names, artists, our comments, etc.) There should be at least one associated graphic for each album associated to track #1. You can however have associations for any other track also.
MQTV has EXPORT functions to copy files from the parent device to new collections of various file types on a multitude of devices.
I have recently setup several media machines using Beelink mini pc's. They are fully functioning mini win10 pc's. All you have to do is plug in the power, HDMI cable, mouse, and keyboard. There are numerous Beelink's of various configurations and prices from $100-$2000. I have a GT5 with a AMD processor that is now my master machine. It is the fastest machine I own. I now compile all my programming on this machine and to date have achieved good backward compatibility to win 7 with the .exe's. I have been copying source from win10 to win7 devices and then recompiling to test and there have been no problems to date.
