hi oblikoamorale
I've read this :

Would be cool if you could have a popup on another PC than the one running foobar2000

(However my brain can't handle the amount of work that would be needed to make such thing)

In your opinion, is that possible ??

By the way, is there any reasons that your component isn't listed on foobar site ?

Thanks for ajquery update (0.5)

sorry it was a stupid question
I was thinking about an interface template who fits a very small window and always on top

My messages are jumping from thread to thread

Actually I thought a bit about it today. I think you can work around it by using foo_upnp or by creating a streaming server on the remote foobar. Then have a local foobar just playing to null, it should be able to use prettypop or any other components that does this

Edit: If you want control, foo_httpcontrol might be a good choice, you just need something that can show a webpage in a window or something like that - Haven't been able to find such thing yet though (besides a usual browser).

@oblikoamorale: Don't know if i have asked before, but are there any chance of tag-control or rating or anything like that in the future?

fb2k command-line interface is good enough for basic rating tasks I think, and is available right now. don't think I'll be able to extend these feaures in any way, mostly  because I don't know how and why I should do it.
Code: [Select]
        add: ability  to  execute  currently  running  foobar  with  specified
             command line parameters. make  sure  to  urlencode  command  line
             parameter (just in case). example:

lxofith,

I was wondering if there is anything I could help with on your template.  I am NOT in any way intending to bother you about further developments, but curious if I can help at all.

I am a very quick study, and quite savvy when it comes to formatting things.  I simply dont even know where I would start.  But if pointed in the right direction I could easily complete soon, any or all of the tedious work associated with modifications.  I have time and would be happy to contribute.

As it stands now your template is absolutely amazing.  But searching with the text box is a little glitchy for me.  Playlist dont always load, interacts with the Foobar search in a strange way, etc...

The only thing that would really put it over the top would be to implement the same kind of playlist, album list, artist list as the iPhone Remote Application.  This would include a few "sort" buttons at the bottom of the page, and the alpha-numeric column down the right edge for selecting a place in the list.

If there is ANYTHING I can do I offer my services.  If I dont know how to do it, I will learn.

Thanks again everyone who has worked on this.  And incredible thanks to Obliks for the foundation.

Something like that yes, do you know of any? I'm thinking some program that just has a IE-control showing in all window, launched with parameters specifying url etc...

http://widgets.opera.com/ seems very close to that, work even when the browser itself is hidden in the tray system notification area, can appear always on top or always on bottom, etc.
Full-quoting makes you scroll past the same junk over and over.

For some reason I can't get lxofith's template to work. I think I'm probably just missing something obvious - can someone point me in the right direction?

I'm running Foobar v1.5.3 with the latest version of http control and using firefox 3.5.3 on Windows 7 RC. The default http control setup works perfectly. I extracted the foo_http_control_data files to overwrite the default ones (in foobar2000/foo_http_control_data/default) and changed the playlist row and helper 1 to those indicated in the readme, and cleared helpers 2 and 3. When I load it up I get the index.html layout, but the inteface doesn't really work. I can seek, but the seek progress bar doesn't show, and it says 'stopped' permanently. the play, skip forward, skip back, shuffle etc controls work once each but the get 'stuck' and you can't press them again. I don't get any cover art (it was set to the same location as the working default template). The browser allows me to add things to the playlist, but is one long page that goes off the screen and I can't scroll. The playlist thing doesn't seem to wokr much at all.

I'm guessing I've managed to mess up the simple install instructions - could someone point me in the right direction please? help appreciated.

Hi,

i just installed the latest version of your plugin (which totally blows) and the ajquery-skin. Call me stupid, but why are thoses cool on-click menus not showing up everytime? I just restarted the machine which runs foobar and now i don't get the queue/dequeue/... menu anymore when i click on a song. Is this some sort of setting? I used the same client (ff 3.5.2).

Thanks, Gehirnmaehung

popup menus are supposed to appear on click only while user holds ctrl key. I think it has been mentioned in template readme.txt somewhere.
if you want popups to be displayed every time you click playlist item or playlist tab,  it's just a matter of commenting out two lines in ajquery.js

@lxofith: I have trouble using your 0.2.2 template. It seems to work well for playback, but I can't change the playing track to a specific using the playlist-browser (default controls work fine) - And why does items get selected by single-click?

A have a few requests for the preferences:
* Remove volume-slider
* Disable file-browser (replace button with playlist-link)

In addition:
* Remove ? if album-name is not found
* Replace missing album-art with something else
* Rating-buttons would be awesome!

Something is probably fixable with proper configuration in foobar, but I didn't look that much into it yet.


@oblikoamorale: I asked previously (but stroke-it-over because I thought it was already possible) if you could implement the possibility to use multiple themes at the same time, eventually as different servers (wouldn't matter how it's implemented actually). If it's already possible, please enlighten me


@lucido: I tried a little with the vorbisstreamer, but as it drops the stream when playback is stopped, it doesn't work very well. However, when it's just running it works pretty well with foo_osd at least. I was told that edcast appearently should not drop the stream, but it's really unstable and I couldn't even get it to work.

My suggestion for the playlist page, as I had the same thought about the bin button (although it didnt work for me) would be single click selects and highlights as it does now. But on select the track number changes to a play button which starts track on click. And when selected it changes the track time to a bin button, for deleting?

Quote from: lxofith on
I like the idea of adding buttons when a track is selected to be able to play or delete the track. One advantage is that it would work on all platforms. I may implement that behavior. In this case, I would also make it so that selecting another track cancels any previous selection, and re-selecting a track would unselect it.


I am currently enjoying lxofith's template for foo_httpcontrol on my Palm Pre, and it looks perfect given it has the same resolution as the iPhone. Maybe it also helps that its browser is based on Webkit like Safari. The above proposed changed behavior in selecting and playing playlists is the only significant thing keeping me from fully enjoying the template, since I can't do an iPhone "double-tap" (wish there was a way to emulate that on the Pre).

Not only would making these changes open up the full experience to more smart phones, but they actually make a lot more sense from a UI standpoint. Sure, it would be nice to keep the double-tap for something, but at least lets agree that it shouldn't be for the most common function you would want when controlling a playlist.

In brief, lxofith has done amazing work on the iPhone template, but the current playlist behavior prevents non-iPhones from fully becoming the awesome foobar touchscreen remotes they deserve to be.

Hi all!

First, many thanks to oblikomorale for this masterpiece plugin.

I've search for days on the net to find a remote hhttp plugin working with foobar. I want use it for controlling foobar with my PSP. With playlist view, main controls and why not browser.

I would know if someone already made a template for the psp ? If not, can you tell me how to do that please ?

Sorry for my bad english, I know some DOS commands but i don't speack english very well.

Thanks in advance.

Great work.

NOTHING is stopping you from developing one on your own.  lxofith has obviously spent much time, without compensation, and for you to imply he left you out is laughable.  Obviously lxofith has an iPhone, and is developing, and kindly sharing, his template for himself.  Not you and your Nintendo phone....

Hi, I am a newbie of foo_httpcontrol.

Recently downloaded the foo_httpcontrol_0_95_6 and followed the instructions to install. Unfortunately, I had no luck with it. When I tried to control my foobar, the browser showed as below:

"Failed to read C:\Documents and Settings\kwan\Application Data\foobar2000\foo_httpcontrol_data\default\foo_httpcontrol_controls_tpl.html.
The system cannot find the path specified. (3)"

Wondering does this foo_httpcontrol has to be run on a specific version of foobar? My foobar2000 version is 0.9.6.9

Your advices will be greatly appreciated.

swiharta, it shouldn't be that hard to change 'double tap' behaviour to single click. check the javascript logic, it is pretty straghtforward. but keep in mind that with this modification you lose the ability to mark multiple tracks for further deletion.

nomad83, to develop interface for this component you need basic knowledge of html and javascript, plus you have to be aware of your platform browser quicks and oddities. that's almost it.

tykwan, you didn't put foo_httpcontrol_data folder from component distribution archive to C:\Documents and Settings\kwan\Application Data\foobar2000\.
I thought installation steps in readme.txt are described quite clearly, but obviously they are not. if anyone is willing to help me improve documentation, you are welcome.

Hi.

Thanks for your reply Obli.

I try some modifications of your defaut template. I write some sites long time ago on HTML language. It's not a problem for me to learn again, I like this.

I can modify images of buttons, some words, but I can't move the buttons and others importants things, but I try to learn.

The only things I don't know is the Java parts. It's difficult to modify that ?

Can I create a new template with Html and CSS style, it's better than html page alone ?

Really thanks for your work, I search durings days and days until I found your plugin. Then I must learn and work me too for get the best solution for me, it's perfect.

Thanks.

Best regards.

no, it is not that difficult. I suggest you try to learn by messing with existing templates and then try creating something of your own.

Ok, thanks you for your quick reply.

That's I do since yesterday. I export the javascrip and css to different files, like that, I can work on differently parts one by one and try to learn by changing some lines, like you say.

Thanks again.

PS: I've a little problem. On my PSP net borwser. When I refresh the page of the index after pres play button, this like i press play/pause button again. I press again refresh, and it's play again. There is a solution for that ? Thanks.

you can't really do anything with this, as manual refresh of the page after issuing some html form command resends this command again in most browsers.

foo_httpcontrol

Thanks for reply and help.

Last question, I can do anything for the refresh after hit buton too ?

Example, I press the play button and all the page is refresh on my PSP browser(very fast on my PC browser by the way).It's cool but little anoying after some time.

Do you know th ngRC project ? It's a remote app for Media Center Windows, wich work with apache tomcat server on PC. In the browser, when I press a button, nothing is refresh, the player on PC doing just what I do. (It's that's you say in your reply ?)

But it's nothing very important, just for confortable utilisation.

Thanks in advance.

Best regards.
