Olli / SampleHive-DirtyHack

This is a dirty Fork of SampleHive (https://gitlab.com/samplehive/sample-hive/) which can now fast preview directories with samples in it without any "Hive" functionality.

What is SampleHive?

This dirty fork of sample hive can only one thing - opening directories with sound files in it and than quickly zapping through the files and previewing it. This software can no tagging or hive functionality like the original software but i only needed that functionality and nothing else and I’m a bit to lazy to implement it the right way. So basicly if you open a directory it imports the soundfiles/samples into the database and after opening the next directory the samples are deleted and the new ones are importet. So it’s good for organizing the samples directory based.

Dependencies

On Arch based distributions,

sudo pacman -S wxgtk3 wxsvg sqlite taglib yaml-cpp libsndfile spdlog

On Debian, Ubuntu and distributions based the on two,

sudo apt install libwxbase3.0-dev libwxgtk-media3.0-gtk3-dev libwxgtk3.0-gtk3-dev wx3.0-headers libsqlite3-dev libyaml-cpp-dev libtagc0-dev libtag1-dev libtagc0 libexif-dev libpango1.0-dev libsndfile1-dev libspdlog-dev libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-dev libgstreamer-plugins-bad1.0-dev

You might also need to install git, cmake, meson and g++ as well, if you don’t already have them installed in order to build SampleHive.

NOTE: On Debian and Debian based distributions you also have to install libwxgtk-media3.0-dev

How to build SampleHive?

Download the source code from this repository or use a git clone:

git clone https://gitlab.com/samplehive/sample-hive
cd sample-hive
meson build -Dprefix=/tmp/SampleHive
ninja -C build install

This will install SampleHive under /tmp/SampleHive.

The configuration file will be placed under ~/.config/SampleHive/config.yaml and the database file will be placed under ~/.local/share/SampleHive/sample.hive

NOTE: If you don’t provide the -Dprefix=/tmp/SampleHive by default it will be installed under /usr/local. You can set the prefix to anything you want.

How to run SampleHive?

To run SampleHive:

If you provided a prefix, you can go the prefix directory then go to the bin directory and run the SampleHive binary, for example, assuming the prefix was set to /tmp/SampleHive

cd /tmp/SampleHive/bin
./SampleHive

If you didn’t provide a prefix, you can find SampleHive in your menu system or run launcher and run SampleHive as you would run any other program on you system.

Are there any keybindings for SampleHive?

// TODO

Can I configure SampleHive?

SampleHive comes with a config.yaml file, that is placed under ~/.config/SampleHive/config.yaml, that you can edit to change some settings for it.
