MediaQue
Request Server technical information
Updated Mar 27-2006
This
version of MediaQue is fully functional as a Server and Player for most media
types.
A special codec for specific audio and video playback may be required
for some media formats.
If
you experience strange behavior (blank screen, no audio, reversed
or flipped display etc...)
When
trying to play a media clip, check the file type, format or encoding
method
(eg.
divx, xvid, wma) and search for the appropriate codec. (www.google.com)

After installing
MediaQue Please follow these steps:
1) Choose your
file associations from the options menu, if you are not sure then
click them all.
2) Choose your
file extensions from the options menu, if you are not sure then click
them all.
3) In Options,
set Media Paths to the media you want to include in MediaQue, if you
have the network version you can set network paths to your media.
4) Configure
"Fade on Demand" from the Options menu, the three fade settings
are user
definable and set in milliseconds. So if you set Level one (the [1]
button) to 20 ms and
Level two (the [2] button) to 100 ms, and Level three (the [3] button
to 150 ms, you will
have 3 distinct fade time staring with button [1] being the fastest
fade and button [3] being the slowest fade.
5) Last but not
least, make sure all MediaQue directories, and Media Location drives
and directories are shared and the correct permissions are set for
each machine connecting to your MediaQue server machine.
Once you have
completed steps 1 - 5 then proceed:
6) From the tools
menu press "Update Library". If the system hangs during
this process,
note the media it got hung up on, go find it and move or delete it,
it's probably bad
media, then "Clear Library" and retry the "Update Library"
command.
7) Set your default
Video Mode from the Options menu to your choice of normal or full
screen.
8) It is best
to leave the "Program Priority" at normal unless you are
operating a
dedicated server and nothing else will be running on that machine.

To search for a song, video or image, click the corresponding A,V or I Button and type
into the Search Textbox the Title or Artist name or a combination of the two. If you want
to find an exact title or narrow the search to a minimal, I find that if you type 3
letters of the Artist name and 3 letters of the Song title you will get a pretty close
match. This all depends on how you have named your media in the database. In most cases the format is Artist, dash, Title. i.e. "Richie Valens - Donna".
The top and bottom search textbox fields act the same. You can use either one or both of them to search your media. If you are searching for multiple songs by the same artist you
can just type the artist in either textbox, you can type the artist name in the top one
and the song or partial song title in the bottom one, then after it's found you can
replace the bottom one with the new song title. This is strictly for ease of use and
flexibility.
Back to Top
For searches that are more detailed or based on other criteria the Advanced search capabilities in MediaQue are very powerful. Some of the Advanced search fields are stored in the MP3 TAG information such as the Artist, Title, Album, Year, Genre, Bitrate & Frequency. So if this information is already in the MP3 TAG ID, then it will display. If it is not present these fields will be blank and you can enter the TAG data right here in the Advanced Search section of MediaQue.
Other information such as Intro Length, Keyword Searches and lyrics searches are stored in the MediaQue database and may also be entered here. We will talk about these features and how to use them.
In each case the small GO button at the end of the textbox will cause the search to begin,
make sure you don't have too many of these fields populated when searching or you will not get any results.
The top three buttons "Exact Match, Clear and Search All" are for the top textbox fields
only. The bottom Three buttons "Select All & Clear are for the Listbox control, you can
also use your RMB to Select All & copy selected to the ML.
You cannot drag from this list to any other lists.
You can sort the Results List by clicking on the column headers for Media Name, Title and, Artist, Album, Year, Genre, Bitrate & Frequency. You may have to use the horizontal scroll bars to see the other fields.
You can attach lyrics to any song by highlighting the song and pressing Right mouse, Lyrics, or you can go through Media Details, Lyrics. A Lyric sheet style window appears, you can load an existing file in or Copy & Paste any text into this window. The window will also accept links to folders or web locations that can link the song to relevant information. Using the Right Mouse Menu you can print the lyrics sheet to any installed local or remote printer. (Set up in Windows Printers)
All the words or phrases in all your lyrics can be searched in the Advanced Search area by going to the "Keyword & Lyrics Search" type in your keyword, click the "Search in Lyrics" button and press "GO". Songs with exact matching keywords and phrases will appear in the results window and can be copied to your Main List for playing. Use the Right Mouse Button to do this.

With MediaQue you can mark the specific time a song has for an intro by finding the song in the Main List, highlighting it, Media Details, In "Start, Stop & Intro Times", press the start button, then wait until the vocals start and press Intro. This will mark the spot and record it in the database.
When searching for a specific intro time (15sec, 30sec, 45 sec etc.) you go into the Advanced Search area to "Intro Length Search", type in the desired length and press the "Go" button. The results of the search will be listed in the view below. Then you can highlight the song and copy it to the Main List for playing.
Note: This feature only works for audio files.
Back to Top
The Media Details
section is slightly different for Songs, Video or Images. When you
use your RMB on the media of choice, MediaQue knows the type of media
and displays the correct type of information. If you are editing song
media, you will see a set of search boxes that are related to music
only. There will be the MP3 TAG information and the MediaQue information
that pertains to MP3's only. Video media will have different features
available to mark and store segments of video that can be cue'ed and
played from the various lists.

Pressing the
DL Button, will open up the Directory Listing. It is divided into
four sections, the top two panes “The Preview Listing”
or PL and the bottom two panes “The Directory Listing”
or DL. You can expand the all panes to full view by double clicking
on the top blue Caption Bar. Double clicking the Caption Bar again
will return all panes to the original size and state. Media can be
played form the PL & DL when expanded by double clicking on the
media, but you won’t be able view the player until you return
the DL to it’s original state by again double clicking on the
Caption Bar at the top.
The left panes
are directories and the right panes are files in those directories.
In the top panes
“PL” all your inbound media is stored here, this is where
your media can be previewed, renamed, cleaned and edited before it’s
put into the MediaQue database. Media in this area will not be available
at search time.
The bottom panes
“DL” are where your actual media files reside, all files
in this area will be in the MediaQue database and ready for searching.
Back to Top
The first time
you add you media to the MediaQue database, all you media will be
available for searches and adding lyrics, pictures and other data.
But if you're like most music enthusiasts your media library will
continue to grow. The question then is how to get my new media into
the system so I can find it too. We have come up with a system that
works for us and most people.
When you open
up the "DL" Listing, at the top you have your inbound locations.
Media that has not yet been entered into the database is held here
until it is previewed, cleaned, edited and re-named. Then you may
want to move it to the same location as the rest of your media.
To add media
to the MediaQue database select the song, movie or image in the top
"PL" right pane and holding down the Right Mouse Buttton,
Drag media to it's new location in the bottom "DL" right
pane.
To do this make
sure the media is cleaned (see above) highlight the media (can be
multiples) open up the bottom of the "DL" panel to where
you want the media to reside and drag the media to it's destination.
Media will be physically moved to the new location (network or local)
and added to the MediaQue database.
Back to Top
There are two
ways to remove media from MediaQue. One method removes the media from
the database and deletes the file from the system, One does not. To
remove the media from the database only, highlight the media and Right
Click, "Delete to Bin". This will put the media into the
Media Recycle Bin which you can find at the bottom of both "DL"
& "PL" lists. This will just hold the media there until
it is dealt with. Either deleted or put back into the system (Drag
to new location in DL)
By choosing "Delete
(Kill File)" the media will be removed from the database and
deleted from the system even by- passing windows recycle bin.
Back to Top
You can view
the current MP3 TAG Information (if any) by highlighting the song,
Right Click, “MP3 TAG info” to bring up a view of the
current Tag info. Click on the black box again to close the window.
Available only in "PL"
Back to Top
To Edit the media
in say Soundforge, or other audio editor right Click, “Open
With” will allow you to set up an editor that will link directly
to your media. You can now just save back to the original directory
and refresh MediaQue. This is available in "PL", "DL"
& the "ML"
Back to Top
In the left pane,
Right Click, you can Verify & Repair. Use this if you find that
Media has gotten into your “DL” area and can’t be
found in your searches. This will check the database for the specific
media and add it if is not there. You will only need to run this once,
if it’s still not there then you need to check your file extensions
setup in “Options”
Any time you
change something in either of these panes, you must Right Click, “Refresh”.
Be conscious of other stations on your network that may still have
their DL panes open, they must be refreshed also to view changed data
and protect MediaQue from trying to play deleted or moved media.
Back to Top
Depending which
list you are in or the media location you may not have enough room
to see the entire song name, as well you may wish to see where it’s
located. From the main screen click the “DL” Button. The
black line at the top of the window will show the path of the currently
highlighted media. It still may not be long enough to show network
paths and longer song names. Right Click on this black line and choose
“Show Full Path”. At the bottom of the pane you will see
another black space this will display the location and title of anything
highlighted in any lists (ML, PL, DL, SL), not just the currently
playing media. This space will also wrap to another line if the path
is extra long.
Back to Top
From this area
you can copy media to another Folder by highlighting the specific
media, Right Click, “Copy To Folder”, a dialog box will
let you create and copy the media to a folder anywhere.
From the “DL”
only you can select specific media and “Right Click” Add
To ML or SL. This allows you to sift through your media with the DL
expanded and send specific media to either list for playing or to
create a saved Playlist.
Back to Top
If you need to
move media from one location to another after it has already been
added to the MediaQue database, find the wrongly placed media in “DL”,
find the right location in the “DL” left pane and holding
down the left mouse button, drag the media to it’s new location.
The Media will be physically moved on the network and the MediaQue
database will be updated.
Back to Top
From both the
“PL” & “DL” left panes you can also turn
your media to Private to protect specific media from being used or
seen in searches. The protected media will not show or play in random mode unless you uprotect the media first. See section "Content Management” for more on protected media.

MediaQue has
a special feature for setting bookmarks within your large video media
files. The bookmarks or segments can be marked in the Media Details
area for Video Media Only. In the create Video Segment box, start
the media. When you want to start marking the segment press "Start"
wait or advance to the beginning of the desired segment and press
"Mark In" again wait or advance to the end of the desired
segment and press "Mark Out". The segment will appear in
the "Marked Video Segments" window. You can now edit the
title of the segment and add comments about the segment by clicking
in the corresponding area of the segment.
You can create
as many segments as required for each video or Media Clip.
Note: Searching
for Video Segments is not available in this version of MediaQue. The
advanced version of MediaQue Pro Evolve Server has this and other
features for searching and displaying video segments and including
them in playlists.

MediaQue allows
a large number of pictures to be directly attached to song media and
viewed when a song is searched. To connect a picture to a song highlight
the song, go to Media Details, Pictures. A black window will appear,
if there are pictures already attached they will also be visible.
To add a picture just drag the picture into this black window. Note:
you must be sure that the source picture is a real image not just
a link as you will find if you drag from the web using your browser.
To do this you must drill down and find the actual image before dragging
into MediaQue. Then to view all your pictures use the scroll wheel
on your mouse.
Back to Top
Sheet music can
be attached to songs much in the same way pictures are attached to
individual media.(See above) It is assumed that you are not violating
any copyright laws using sheet music as most works are copyrighted.
If the work is your own or you have the right to copy, scan in the
document and drag it into the black window pertaining to the correct
song. The way to search for sheet music is to search for the song,
right click, Media Details, Sheet Music button.

If you wish to
re-build your database from scratch or you are starting over for various
reasons, you can export all of your lyrics out of the database, then
build your new database and import your lyrics back in. It is very
rare that you may want to do this but it is here as a security measure
for your data. Lyrics must be Exported out of MediaQue before they
can be imported.
From the Tools
menu choose Export Lyrics, choose the location to Export to, and press
the Export Button. A message "Export Complete" will appear,
press "Ok" and "Done" to exit.
To Import just
perform the above in reverse, choose "Import Lyrics", "Import
From..." Press the Import Button. A message "Import Complete"
will appear, press "Ok" and "Done" to exit.

Songs that have
noise or spaces at the beginning or end of the songs can be skipped
at playtime by using the Time In/Out off the Main Menu, "Options",
"Use Time In / Out"
Times for this
feature can be marked in the "Media Details" section, "Start,
Stop & Intro Times". Start by highlighting the song, Media
Details, In "Start, Stop & Intro Times", press the "In"
button, then wait for the new start time, and press the "In"
button again. This will mark the spot and record it in the database,
wait for the "Out Time" and press the "Out" Button
to mark the Out time.
To use this feature,
from the Main Menu click "Options", "Use Time In /
Out" to toggle this feature on or off.

This section
should only be changed by qualified and knowledgeable people as it
can have diverse effects on a computer system depending what you're
running in the background or in addition to MediaQue.
Back to Top
Once your database
is created and you are searching and playing songs, you may want to
just have MediaQue pick songs for you at random. There are two ways
of doing this depending on what you want to do. To have MediaQue go
to the database and randomly choose songs and play them one after
another, click on a blank Main List and press CTRL-F1 for songs, CTL-F2
for Videos and CTRL-F3 for Images. This will start a cycle of MediaQue
choosing a random song then another one and so on until stop is pressed,
another search is performed or a song is played.
You may want
to limit the selections MediaQue chooses. There are two ways to do
this. One is to select the songs or load a large playlist. Pressing
Shft-F1 with a loaded playlist will choose only songs in the playlist
at random.
The other way
to limit selections in random play is to use content management to lockout private files.
You can also use Random Play in a slightly different manner. It is called Delayed Random Effect (DRE) and Delayed Random Return (DRR) . By Pressing Crtl Shift F1, while a song is playing indicates to MediaQue that after the current song has ended then MediaQue will switch the system into Random Mode , a green LED light will now be visible on the MediaQue Main Screen. This Random mode will continue untill you either press the Stop button, Close MediaQue or Press Ctrl Shift F1 again. If Ctrl Shift F1 is pressed again a red light will appear on the MediaQue main Screen, this means that after the song that is currently playing ends, MediaQue will switch back to your control (no More Random Songs) and play the currently highlighted song in the Main List. If your "C" - Continue button is depressed then your list will continue.
When the system is in DRE mode you can still search and display other songs you want to play. If you double click on a song in ML to play, the song will play immidiately, after the song finishes DRE mode will be back in effect playing Random Songs Again.
Back to Top
Playlists are
a powerful way to store, organize and retrieve your media. They can
hold songs, videos and images, and can be played remotely. First thing
to remember is that there are two types of playlists: Main Playlists,
and Server Playlists. Main lists are for media in the Main List ML,
and the Server List is for the SL. That said when you Right Click
on ML choose Load or Save Playlist. The same is true when you Right
Click on SL, Choose Load or Save Playlist. They will load into the
appropriate area, adding to the existing media in the list.
The great advantage
of this is the ability to be on a client, load in a SL Playlist located
on the client, and play the media on the server immediately.
Back to Top
There are two
ways to remove media from MediaQue. One method removes the media from
the database and deletes the file from the system, One does not. To
remove the media from the database only, highlight the media and Right
Click, "Delete to Bin". This will put the media into the
Media Recycle Bin which you can find at the bottom of both "DL"
& "PL" lists. This will just hold the media there until
it is dealt with. Either deleted or put back into the system (Drag
to new location in DL)
By choosing "Delete
(Kill File)" the media will be removed from the database and
deleted from the system even by- passing windows recycle bin.

The hardest part
of burning media is finding all the tunes you want to burn. With MediaQue
as you have discovered by now that's a snap. So to simplify the process,
find your choice of songs, from the Main List "ML" highlight
all the songs by clicking CTRL-A then drag using your Right Mouse
button to a new folder on your desktop. All songs will be copied to
that folder. You can also highlight the songs and Right Click "Copy
to Folder", then browse to your folder, even create the folder
from the browse dialog.
Once the media
is in the folder, it should be copied to the machine that has the
CD Burner in it, as it is not good to burn a CD over the network.
Network Lag can foul up a good Burn. If you are expecting to play
the CD in a car or home CD Player before the media can be burned it
must be converted to Wave files. There are many free utilities that
do that on the fly, download one and convert your media to wave files
or let your burning software handle that for you. I prefer to have
it all done before I try to burn. I get less coasters.
Back to Top
The way MediaQue
handles this is to make some of your media private. Only a password
lies between accessing your media or not so remember all your security
depends on your password. Do not set simple easy passwords if you
wish to really protect your media. To set media to private go to the
DL (Directory Listing) section by pressing the DL button from the
main screen. Find the directory where the media is located. Highlight
the directory and click Right Mouse button. Click private and a password
box will appear, if this is the first time you have done this you
will have to set your password first by entering it in twice. Once
done, the media folder will be marked in Red and all media in the
folder will not be visible.
To make the media
public again, repeat the procedure and the folder will be visible
again. Once the media is made private searches will not display the
items in these folders. Random plays will not find or choose any of
the items either. You can privatize as many folders as you like.
As a quick way
to get to the privatized media, MediaQue has a hotkey just for this
task. CTRL-SHFT-E will Expose all of your media that is privatized
and make them All public, of course you’ll have to know the
password. To set them all back to Private just press CTRL-SHFT-E again,
do the password thing, and all media that was private is now private
again.
Any time you
use the expose key or set media to public or private you have the
option to change the password. Click the box “Change Password”
when asked for your password, put in the correct existing password,
and the change password box will come up.

The Client /
Server features of MediaQue can be setup only if you have the MQRS
package installed on one or more computers. They will communicate
with each other and allow clients to program the server, use the Server's
database, and Request songs from the Server using Requestline. You
will need to have one computer set as the Client and one set as the
Server. A port must be opened over your network if you have a firewall
(default port 1475) and you must have all passwords, permissions and
shares set up correctly to the MediaQue Install Directory to make
this work.
Connect a Client
to a Server by: when on a client click on "Options" "Client/Server
Config". The Top button "Use Request Server" must be
clicked on, then type in the "Name of the Server, just the name,
no paths. type in the "Name of the Client" your current
machine name (find this by right clicking on "My Computer, Properties,
and then on the Network Identification Tab.) Set a default port number
to use on your network (eg.1475)
Finally,
choose if you are acting as a client or the server. This can be switched
when you need to but the names of each must be switched as well. Press
"Done" to exit
If you have
a firewall, don't forget to open this port, TPC & UDP for both
directions. See your firewall documentation to allow both in and out
packet filters for MediaQue.
Back to Top
Under "Options",
"Set Media Paths" you will see at the bottom "Database
Path". Browse to the server's location, and then the MediaQue
installation directory. All shares and permissions must be set to
allow access to the Directory. If Windows XP has been updated you
may have trouble getting to the program Files directory while browsing.
If so try typing in the full path to the Server's database manually.
Back to Top
To control a
server's "SL" not to be confused with a Playlist this is
the actual list of songs or media playing at the time. Once songs
are loaded into the list either by loading a saved playlist or choosing
selected media for the list from a Client or a Server, the list can
be played by double clicking on the media or pressing the play button
in the "SL".
The media can
be moved within the list to any location preferred by clicking once
on the left icon, then dragging the media to the new location in the
list. A line will be visible to show the current position of the media,
when you find its' new destination just let go. This only works for
single media at present.
Back to Top
If a client wishes
to control a Server's output, it may do so by using hard controls
and Hotkeys in the "SL". (Check Hotkey Information above)
While in a client if you double click the media in the "SL"
it will execute on the Server. This is true for all types of media.
The function Keys or Hot Keys are all available when in Remote Play
mode and you may add or drag media within the list for automated server
broadcasting.

MediaQue keeps
precise logs of all media played on all clients or servers. These
logs are found in the MediaQue directory of the server. Log Files
are accessed from the Main Menu, View, Log Files. You will see the
MediaQue Log Viewer.
There are Three
(3) types of log files. Play logs, Random Logs, and Request Logs.
Choose the type of log file you wish to access at the top of the Log
Viewer. Choose the day (date) of the appropriate log file and it's
contents are displayed in the window. Scroll horizontally to see all
the information associated with the log entry, by using the horizontal
scroll bars.
Play Log entries
include time of play, length of playtime, machine played on, originating
list, path and filename. You can create a Play List from the entire
logfile or selected items in the logfile. To create a Play List from
a Log File, highlight the media you wish to include or leave blank
to select all, and press the "Export Log" File Button, choose
your destination location or accept the default MediaQue Play List
folder.
Random Log Entries
are for the special times when you want to Log an item for a number
of reasons. It may need to be updated later, or re-encoded, or re-named
and you don't have the time, right then, just highlight the item and
press "CTRL-L" the media will be logged for later viewing.
RequestLine Logs
are recorded after every request is made from a RequestLine module
to a Server. This helps to provide quality information about what
is actually being requested as apposed to what's being played.
Note: When Log
Files are converted to Play Lists any media that was originally played
from the "PL" will not be included as it is not in the database
and may not be present on your system any more. Only Media that is
in the MediaQue database will be converted into Play Lists.
Back to Top
If you have set
MediaQue as your default windows file association for Music, Video
& Images (MP3, AVI, and JPG etc.) MediaQue will open the file
automatically when you click on it from windows.
Some things to
note when using this feature:
This works even
if the files are not in the MediaQue database and will not add any
of the displayed files to the database. If you click on an image that
is in a root folder (lower hierarchy) MediaQue will load up all the
files below it. This is why it may take a few seconds to load the
picture view window of MediaQue. Then you can use your mouse scroll
to sift through all the pictures.
If you click
on a video it will be played automatically, and when it has ended,
MediaQue will just terminate. If an ESC key is pressed then MediaQue
will auto terminate. No need to close the application manually, although
if you terminate the video before it has completed by pressing the
stop button, MediaQue will remain open.
If you are playing
songs this way and you click on another song while one song is playing,
both songs will play in two instances of MediaQue. You can open many
separate instances of MediaQue at a time so be careful.

MediaQue will
also play commercial CD's. Just put the CD in the CDROM player and
if your file associations are set to open CDA (CD Audio) with MediaQue
it will autoplay. If they are not set you may have to load MediaQue
and point to the CDROM drive and click on one or all of the tracks
you wish to play. CDA Tracks cannot be saved in the MediaQue database
as they may not be available at play time if the CD is not in the
correct CDROM drive. But they can be converted to MP3's and saved
in a new location, then added to the MediaQue database.
Playing DVD's with MediaQue is just as simple. Put your DVD title into the DVD drive on your system (required) from the "View Menu" choose Play DVD. A simple window will appear with only two buttons at the top left of the screen. Press "Play DVD" and your DVD title will start. To pause the DVD play, press the space bar at any time. F5 will toggle between Full Screen and Normal window.
