From: Luiz Augusto von Dentz <luiz.von.dentz@xxxxxxxxx>
This interface adds support for browsing and searching in the player's
storage using AVRCP 1.4/1.5.
Some remarks about the design:
- Exposing UIDCounter and UIDs was considered, but the spec seems to have
missed to define the player's id persistency. There are also the fact that
UIDCounter alone does not guarantee persistency across sessions and do not
provide what exact items have changed, so in the end exposing these
details will bring almost no value.
- Indexing or caching the whole media library is not recommended, Bluetooth
is too slow for that and even vendors such as Apple do not recommend doing
it, so the only items keep in cache are the current listed ones.
- Addressed vs Browsed player is done implicitly when accessed, this was done
to simplify the API and avoid confusions between applications and players.
