Obsequieuem 0.5.0-pre2

Obsequieuem project is a network based MP3 RTP/multicast streaming jukebox.
Obsequqiuem is a network-based streaming MP3 jukebox that uses RTP/Multicast (RFC 2250) or Icecast to stream the MP3s.
The Web interface allows local and remote users to control what music is being streamed by the server, and includes support for browsing the music collection, playlist mangement, multiple channel support, and an automatic music selection mechanism called DJ Random.
The package also includes scripts to do one step ripping, encoding, and submission into the database. The server allows remote MP3 check-in/check-out and a supplied script allows downloading a playlist from the server into a Rio player.
Main features:
- Integrated volume management
- Streamed or local playback
- Integrated ripping/encoding/submission script
- Preexisting MP3s can be submitted into the server via the network
- Web interface
- DJ Random
- Rio Download support
Enhancements:
- The AddFiles.pl, CleanUp.pl and CheckLocalfiles.pl scripts are fixed. The Obs::Defs module was not yet setup for parsing the new xml config file format.
- The track caching support was not working properly since the TrackCache and TrackManager objects were not shared between all the channels. Ooops. It should behave better now.
- A new remove playlist function has been added.
- A new remove dj random set function has been added.
- The track cache can now properly handle files that contain $, or ` chars.
- Fixed configure to detect if the mysqlclient library has mysql_escape_string or mysql_real_escape_string.
- Fixed an HTML rendering issue in the playlist (Thanks Robert!)
- Added a check for zlib in the configure script
