iTunesFUSE

This iTunes plugin aims to provide an abstraction layer for iTunes users which have a large iTunes Library that is stored on some kind of external storage device, referred to as StoragePath. This is built on top of the official demo LoopBackFS

Design

• By design iTunesFUSE mounts itself at /Volumes/iTunesFUSE(known as MountPoint ) with the cached content stored at ~/iTunesFuseCache/(known as CachePath ) with the exact folder structure as StoragePath
• iTunesFUSE also supports "Stashing" that cached file creation and sync with StoragePath later on.

On Storage Mount

• Switch to mapping mode where MountPoint is mapped directly to StoragePath
• Push Stashing Content To StoragePath
• Read from/Write to StoragePath, cache an optimized version of the media in CachePathwhere feasible

On Storage Unmount

• Switch to caching mode where MountPoint is a mapping of CachePath
• Stash new file creation in stashing folder without optimizing

Building

Use cmake cmake -DStoragePath=@\"YOU_STORAGE_PATH\" -DMOUNT_POINT=@\"DEFAULT_MOUNT_POINT\" PATH_TO_PROJECT_SOURCE
