Collection

The Collection functionality in the Peppy Player allows to browse/search through the audio files collection in a logical way using such criteria as genre, artist, album, date etc. This functionality was based on the SQLite database which stores the audio files metadata fetched by means of Mutagen library.

The following steps should be completed in order to use Collection functionality:

1. Collection database file should be created. The collection database file can be created on any machine/platform (Linux, Windows or Mac) and copied from that machine to Raspberry Pi where Peppy player is running. It can be also created on Raspberry Pi itself. The file contains information about all audio files stored on the collection storage device (e.g. Hard Drive or Flash Drive).
2. The player should be configured to use the database file created in the previous step.

After completing these two steps the files from the Collection can be searched and played from the player's UI.
