The exciting, new Version 3 of the RPi Jukebox RFID. A complete rewrite of the Jukebox code base.
Note
This documentation applies to the Version 3 which is developed in the branches future3/main and future3/develop. Currently the default Version is 2.x
To find out more about the RPi Jukebox RFID project check out the documentation of Version 2 or www.phoniebox.de.
- For Builders: Building a Phoniebox
- For Developers: Add features or fix bugs
- Better extensibility, clear architecture allowing for easier integration of new features
- Higher performance especially on lower end hardware (it's a stretch at the moment)
- Better maintainability
- Better observability for debugging
- Jukebox core is a holistic Python3-only application
- Avoid shell script invocation during runtime wherever possible
- Establish a socket based API (using ZeroMQ) toward the WebUI or other clients
- Implemented a Remote-Procedure-Call (RPC) server through which all user function calls pass
- Implemented a plugin concept to dynamically load Python modules configurable through the configuration file
- In conjunction with the RPC, this is a neat way of allowing additional features without having to touch the core all the time
Version 3 has reached a mature state and will soon be the default version. However, some features may still be missing. Please check the Feature Status, if YOUR feature is already implemented.
Note
If version 3 has all the features you need, we recommend using Version 3.
If there is a feature missing, please open an issue.
Features/files from version 2.X will only be copied/merged once they can be integrated and tested. If you don't find your v2.X contributions, it doesn't mean they are obsolete. Things will be integrated step by step. And, of course, you are welcome to adapt your previous contributions to this new exiting structure.
