Interface MediaDetailsListener

public interface MediaDetailsListener

The listener interface for receiving media detail responses when the VirtualCdj has been told to ask for information about what is in a player’s media slot. The MetadataFinder uses this to keep its information current; most people will probably only need to rely on that, through the MetadataFinder.getMediaDetailsFor(SlotReference) and MetadataFinder.getMountedMediaDetails() methods. But if you want to obtain that information without starting the MetadataFinder, you can implement this interface, register it using VirtualCdj.addMediaDetailsListener(MediaDetailsListener), and then call VirtualCdj.sendMediaQuery(SlotReference) yourself.

Method Detail

detailsAvailable

void detailsAvailable(MediaDetails details)

Invoked when a media details response message is received by the VirtualCdj from a player.

To reduce latency, detail announcements are delivered to listeners directly on the thread that is receiving them them from the network, so if you want to interact with user interface objects in this method, you need to use javax.swing.SwingUtilities.invokeLater(Runnable) to do so on the Event Dispatch Thread. Even if you are not interacting with user interface objects, any code in this method must finish quickly, or it will add latency for other listeners, and detail announcements will back up. If you want to perform lengthy processing of any sort, do so on another thread.

Parameters:

details - the information describing the media mounted in a player slot
