# glowers-radio
This repo contains backing information for Glowers Radio.
## Contributing
If you have a song in mind that would fit on Glowers Radio, you are free to create a PR or send in a diff for `generate.js`.
The living schema is documented [below](#format) and mostly maps 1:1 to `MediaItem`, you should also check the `MediaItem` for the
the media that is most similar to what you wish to add.
## Best Practices
- Use an alpha-numeric id. Don't use dashes or hyphens; Uppercase characters *may* be used when appropriate.
- Declare metadata when available. If you do not know the original source, try to find it first.
- Metadata **must** be accurate and not an artists rendition of the actual metadata.
- Items that aren't primarily music should be tagged with `misc`.
- Use the `metadata-prefer-id` tag if the actual title would be too long, cubersome, or unrelated. i.e:
- `slamtris`: Slamtris - Quad City DJs vs Hirokazu Tanaka *(cumbersome)*
- `dngyamom`: Dynamite by BTS but it's Doin' Your Mom *(cumbersome)*
- `thisistheinfowar`: In the House, In a Heartbeat *(unrelated)*
- `alexjones`: Alex Jones Remix: Renai Circulation *(cumbersome)*
- `ywnbaw`: Professor proves SICKS are the best weapons *(unrelated)*
- `whenblackissus`: Among Us theme song but it's in the style of Metallica's Black Album *(long and cumbersome)*
- `niggatorial`: I'm The 2007 YouTube Tutorial *(cumbersome)*
- `honorary`: Erika *(unrelated)*
- Use `image/png`, `image/jpg`, `image/gif`, `audio/mp3`, and `video/mp4`. Files *should* be under 10MB and be of reasonable or tolerable quality
- Try not to use reuploads, remasters, or edits, as the source; Unless the edit or remaster is the actual media.
- Don't use videos where audio alongside artwork would be functionally identical. Lyrics videos are ok
- Sources *should* contain codec information; if you are unsure of what correct codecs to declare, do not declare any or ask for help.
No codec declarations are better than incorrect codec declarations. See [MDN](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Media/Formats/codecs_parameter#basic_syntax) for details
- All content *should* be hosted on Glowers Club. If you do not Glow, then your sources will be reuploaded if your Item(s) are accepted
- `video/` **must** have a thumbnail preview.
- `video/` *should* have a `EDisplayType.SQUARE` fallback for audioOnly, and for when the agent does not support the provided `video/`.
- Animated previews **must** always have a `image/gif` fallback.
- Avoid using `EDisplayType.LANDSCAPE` when possible.
- `EDisplayType.SQUARE` previews **must** be exactly `1:1`; `EDisplayType.LANDSCAPE` previews *should* be exactly `16:9`, or **must** be a close equivalent
## Format
The `songs.json` format **is only intended for use for Glowers Radio**, and is effectively a living standard as a result. **Live data may change drastically without warning**
If you do wish to use this data for your own purposes, i.e: to make a custom player, you should be caching the songs list so your application has something to fallback to if a breaking change to the format is made.
