This is a proof of concept of my personal way to implement the model view presenter pattern.

This project shows an easy powerful way to deal with multiple GUI. To me, this important pattern (or similar, such as MV-VM) should exist on every C++ projects.

• Multiplatform music player (MP3, WAV, FLAC, ...): tested on osx, linux, android.
• Qt music player Gui
• Console music player (ncurses)
• Network client/server to remotely play music
• Support of M3U playlist
• Plugin engine (example of plugin that plays a song when you clap on your hands)

• MVP-Player in 2 minutes

To compile, you will need Qt5, Boost, Fmod, ncurses, cdk and cmake (or scons):

• QT5
• Boost
• FMOD
• NCURSES
• CDK
• CMAKE
• SCONS

First, clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/edubois/mvp-player.git
cd mvp-player
git submodule update -i

Now,

If using cmake:

make a build directory, go into it, then type:

ccmake ..

then adapt your configuration and launch make in the parent directory. On MacOSX, it's better to set CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX as local, because the make install will generate a .app file.

it's time to edit default.sconf according to your configuration. In the default configuration, I made a parent directory 3rdParties where I put my 3rd party libraries. To change your external libraries base dir, edit the variable extern in this file (default.sconf).

If you are using Mac, adapt the last lines according to your XCode configuration.

If you are not using Mac, remove the lines after '# Mac only'

• compile (or obtain) boost, qt and fmod for android-armv7

• copy default-android-armv7.sconf to default.sconf and adapt the file according to your configuration

• compile the qt player with scons

• edit the root file android-mvpPlayerQt.so-deployment-settings.json, adapt the paths according to the generated application binary

• edit build_mvpPlayerQt_android.sh, correct the paths

• run build_mvpPlayerQt_android.sh, this will generate the right .apk: ./android_dist/bin/QtApp-debug.apk

• Copy this file on your android device and install it by means of a file browser.

• All should work :)

When you are ready, enter:

• if you want the ncurses console player:

make mvpPlayerNCurses -j4

• or, if you want the QT player:

make mvpPlayerQt -j4

This should build an executable showing a player dialog, where you can play a music (I tried .wav, mp3 and playlist m3u, it was working well on both GUI).

To start the network remote, use:

mvp_player_qt --remote

Please note that, if using a firewall, you must allow communication on port 11999

• You can also chose to run all the unittests: scons unittest

OR some of them:

scons unittest-mvp-player-core

scons unittest-remote-mvp-player-net

I put some tags so you can have a better understanding of the different developement steps.

To switch to a tag, please use git checkout tag_name

• version_simple_player

This is a 'simple' version of the player, using a synchronous state machine (easier)

• version_asynchronous_player_state_machine

This is a version of the player using an asynchronous state machine (a little bit more difficult to understand)

• version_with_network_support

This is a version with support of network remote player.
