meta data and hasing

Post by reallyjoel » 2004-05-23 19:15

I searched a bit and didnt find anything about this, so dont kill me

since DC++ now is hashing the share, wouldnt be an idea to also scan for meta data such as tags and headers..

the application of this could be two different things, either the search would have added fileds like "artist" and "title" and a descision would have to made on every format what meta data ends up where OR
there would be totally different sets of fields for different types of searches

is this in the works?

Part of the problem is search responses: there's no nice way to have them returned using the NMDC protocol.
