Demo the Serato API App

NOTE: for some reason the latest version of Mojave OSX does not allow directly running jars via 'jar launcher'.  Running from terminal still seems to work:
  1. open 'terminal'
  2. type the following command to run the jar (fill in the path to the jar; e.g. /users/bob/downloads):
    1. java -jar [PATH_TO_JAR]/SslApiGuiDemo.jar

I added an executable jar that launches the GUI and will display Serato DJ/SSL play.  The jar is only compatible with OSX at this time, and assumes the following default values (to modify, edit the resources/SslApiConfiguration.properties file within the jar).  Please leave me a comment if you're having any issues with the demo!

executable can be downloaded directly from the repo:
https://gitlab.com/eladmaz/SSL-API/blob/c5a14426228a29a226798322f1b29c1aff333df0/SslApiGuiDemo.jar

# default SSL API properties 
# byte consumption details (slows down app performance when on) 
enableLoggerFinest=false 

# general debug info stuff
enableLoggerDebug=false

# adds thread workload info
enableLoggerTrace=true

# adds time to log
enableLoggerTimeStamp=true

# defaults to /users/[USER_NAME]/.sslapi/log.txt.  change for different location
#logFilePath=

# enable logging to file
enableLogToFile=true

# enable/disable GUI. really only useful for demo purposes to see what info is 
# being published via the EventHub

startGui=true

# uncomment these values to override default locations
# path to dom file (stores all info parsed in from SSL in a given session).  Defaults
# to /users/[USER_NAME]/.sslapi/ssldom.txt
#domFilePath=

# path to the folder containing Serato.  Defaults to /users/[USER_NAME]/Music/_Serato_/
#sslFolderPath=

Serato STATS screen shots

Image
As usual the GUI work took much longer than expected... But not to worry progress has been made.  Here's some screenshots as proof.

The 'SETTINGS' page allows customization of where/how/which session files to process:

Once all sessions are loaded & parsed, stats can be displayed.  Select one:

(05/15): top number is now selectable

(05/15) new 'least played songs' stat (One caveat, is that a song had to be played at least once to show up here)



At this point, I think (hope) the hardest part is behind me.  I should be able to crank out more interesting statistics at a much faster pace.

Big thanks to those that reached out with comments/ideas!  And for those that requested, I'll be sending links to try out the Stats beta shortly...

New and Improved Serato Crate Exporter (with m3u support)

Image
I've gotten requests to add ability to convert Serato crates into m3u files, so without further ado here are a few screen shots of the new-and-improved Crate Exporter:




Click the 'Export' arrow to select one of the available formats:
 Click 'start' to export, and 'open' to open the last exported file with the OS's default application:


Here's the crate in text format (currently only the #, Artist, and Title column are exported):


Opening an .m3u file will also open the file in whichever player is the OS's default (iTunes on OSX):



Requirements & Limitations
* You'll need at least JRE8 (Java Runtime Environment) installed to run the jar.
* only been tested on OSX Mojave (though it should run on other OS's as well)
* nested crates not yet supported (only selected crate will be converted)
* only mp3 files currently supported (wav/mp4/etc files will be skipped)

Executable jar & source code  here:

Serato Crate Exporter

Came across this discussion in the Serato forum asking for the ability to export Serato crates into various formats.  And thought this would be a fairly straightforward use of SSL API.

I did some analysis of the crate structure and turns out its a bit different from the Serato Session File (several new chunks & fields).

Nevertheless, I've modified the API to be able to unmarshal the new crate structure and am now introducing a new java GUI utility to help anyone needing to export Serato crates



Requirements:
Must have JRE (java runtime environment) 8 or better installed (download link works as of today's date:) http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/jav…
