Introduction
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Episode Browser is a simple graphical program that offers an interface
to episodes of TV series stored on the local hard drive. It offers
ways of keeping track of watched and unwatched episodes, as well as
fetching episode information from the internet.
In its current form, it is designed specifically for Detective Conan.
Backend
~~~~~~~
The fundamental features of Episode Browser, such as detecing and
keeping track of local episodes, fetching information from the
internet and interacting with the MPC-HC media player, are implemented
in Prolog (see the pl folder).
At the time of writing, the backend implementation is tightly coupled
to the author's specific system. To be used for anything else than
episodes of Detective Conan stored in a specific folder on the hard
drive, the predicates defined in local_episodes.pl must be modified
and the program recompiled. To fetch episode information from other
sources than Detective Conan World, the episode_data.pl file must be
modified.
Frontend
~~~~~~~~
The graphical interface is implemented in C++ using the Win32 API (see
the c folder). The source code is spread across a small number of
files. For an overview of the classes/functions provided by each file,
see defs.h. In summary:
main.cpp Entry point and initialization. Contains the main event handler.
listview.cpp Creates and handles the shared aspects of the two list views.
episodelistview.cpp Defines the interface to the episode list view.
datalistview.cpp Defines the interface to the data list view.
pl.cpp Interface to Prolog backend.
common.cpp Some useful functions that don't fit elsewhere.
In addition, defs.h itself defines a variety of macros and templates.
Building
~~~~~~~~
Episode Browser is built with GNU Make. For the build process, the
following additional programs are required:
- swipl-ld (included with SWI-Prolog)
- GCC/G++
- Perl
To build b/EpisodeBrowser.exe, issue `make' in the root directory of
the project.
