Wondering....  what is the selection of the tracks for in the playlist?  If i highlight more than one song what happens, and how do I play them after selecting a few.  Does it just queue them up?

this one is new to me.
thx
-p


I cant really see the reason for being able to select more than one song.  I am sure I am missing something here.  If I highlight three of four, it will only play the one I "double tap". 

In any case.  Everything is working wonderfully on my end.  Using it at work now!

I do think the album art is stretching though.

thanks!

i noticed one more tiny bug....

The "flash" that occurs when you touch a button (next track for example) now occurs in the wrong place due to moving the volume bar.

thanks!

How can I get embedded album art to show in the browser?
Thanks

Also lacking is a feature essential to me: the ability to go through your library and play songs from there.


lxofith,

Have you sussed out this detail yet?  Do you think it would be possible to play directly from the "Album List" with the A,B,C,D etc style scroll bar on the right?  I guess it would be similar to browsing by artist in the Remote App.

I realize that the Remote app works this way due to how iTunes itself works, but though it might be something that could be implemented in the place of the File Browser.

Just a thought....

thanks again for this dream of a template!

Im having problems with lxofith's config. The forward/back/play/pause buttons are hidden under safaris browser controls and I cant get to them any ideas?

Hey guys, sorry for my inattention, was diverted away from this little project for a while. (and I thought that I had notifications set for this topic, but it only triggered once)

My situation actually changed so that I am using foobar2000 alot less, so I will probably not actively be working on this template anymore.
But it looks like all of you and LxOfIth especially picked up my slack admirably! Kudos! (open software > closed software)

I am currently persuing some iPhone app development, so I might eventually create a native app sometime.

Many thanks to all who have submitted feedback. There are very interesting ideas coming up (as well as the usual bug reports!), and I am confident we can get a great template -- at least if I have enough time to work on it; this is surely not the case right now, and I am going on vacation in a week, so please be patient.

Anyway, here are a few comments on what was suggested:
  • First of all I would like to explain what track selection is used for, as there were several questions about it. The idea was to be able to delete several tracks at the same time from the playlist. This is why it is possible to select multiple tracks. Clicking the trash icon removes the selected tracks from the playlist; if no track is selected, the playlist is cleared. Now this didn't work as well as I expected, because when switching from page to page you lose the selection. It would be possible to work around that but I am not sure it would be worth the effort.
  • Album art is stretched indeed. I almost reverted back to having the volume at the bottom when I saw this, but decided to keep it that way and wait for people's feedback. I know you can have non-square album art, e.g. for DVD (portrait) or double CDs (landscape), but maybe we should optimize for the most common case and have a square space for album art.
  • 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.
  • The position of the button glow will be fixed in the next release
  • Browsing the library by album (or any user-defined criteria, up to three) is planned for a next release, though the exact appearance is undecided at this stage. I don't know how it works in the Remote app, though I guess it looks like the contacts list.
  • Regarding hidden controls with Safari: I guess this is with the full-fledged Safari, not the one on the iPhone. I have seen something in the template to scroll the page to hide such controls on the iPhone. I have created a shortcut for the app on my iPhone, so I don't use Safari (well, indirectly). I will try removing this hack and if things look the same I'll publish it, hoping it will fix the issue.
  • pcstockton suggested selling the app on the app store; well, I am glad you think the app is worth it, but I would need to find a way to associate oblikoamorale and the previous template developers in this success. In fact I do like the idea of making a contribution to the community, so the app will stay free for the moment (and probably for a long time).

Seems like there are a few things to work on ;-) But the early feedback is sure encouraging, thank you!

Thanks for the comments and explanations lxofith.  We all really appreciate you hard work.  It is so good now, I would use it this way forever.  Have a great time on your vacation!!

Regarding the album art....  I think your initial thought to bring back the volume bar is probably prudent.  Or whatever you think would work to get the aspect ratio correct.  Maybe just a thicker bottom bar?  In any case you have one vote for square album art.  I dont mind seeing the volume bar if it the easiest way to achieve this.

The buttons for playback would be really nice. 

Yes you are correct...  Artist view, Album view and Song view (aha 3 user defined criteria!), in Remote app look like the Contacts list on iPhone.  This is ideal.  You dont have to scroll down a huge page, and it would possibly eliminate the need for "pages".  Much more elegant.

I was mostly kidding when I mentioned selling the app on iTunes.  Of course it would be a nightmare to attempt to give proper credit/compensation to those who have been instrumental in getting this app as far along as it is.  The Foobar community has always embraced a "free" open source community.  Although I think it is certainly good enough to garner a few duckets.  I was mostly just trying to show appreciation to you oblik, yourself, Auric, joror, kev, soulruins, and the many, many others who have helped get this to where it is.  I would bet there are dozens who have helped directly or indirectly on this.

Kudos to all!

@Hi Oblikoamorale,

uhh, you have to be more specific. what's your album art setup? what does a browser tell you when requesting http://<your_ip>:<your_port>/albumart_ during playback and while stopped?

yep, there is an unexpected issue with missing or wrong document content-type... thanks for pointing that out.

to everyone downloaded 0.93: please revert to 0.92 or wait until a fixed version appears later today.

Hi, I have skimmed through this thread and i don't think i've seen this mentioned.. but using lxofith's template on my iphone, I cannot see the play/pause and skip back and forth buttons as they are hidden by the iPhone's browser controls.

I'm sure im doing something wrong..

thanks!

The application is meant to be used as a native app. Add a shortcut to a home screen and launch the remote from there instead of using safari. This should work much better.

That's fixed it, thanks.

I'm not sure if it's my network or what, but it seems to take a long time for what is displayed on the iphone to update after pressing one of the controls. Also it quite often just quits safari after it has been stuck for a bit.

hmmmm, something strange is going on.  It is extrmely fast for me.  Even loading over 100K of songs in playlists.  I am excited to see how well this works once a "Contacts" Style list is implemented.

thx.p

That's rather annoying. It is extremely slow for me even with the iPhone next to the router.. although the pc is connected to the network using a network over mains kit, but it works fine in games etc. Maybe it's my router?

I am going to take a wild guess and suggest the wireless-over-mains dealio???  Not sure though.  I would contend it is neither Foobar, the foo control plugin, nor the lxofith template.  Those three have always been very, very fast for me.  I have standard fare wireless router, nothing special.  And the wireless Linksys PCI card is as standard as you can find.

Dont give up though.....  Is there a regular wireless router you can try?

I dunno if it is the network over mains dealio, it doesnt effect anything else i do on the internubs, although it does seem to be the only thing different between what im doing compared to everyone else.

I'll have a play with stuff and see what happens.

In the morning.

I too would assume the culprit is the wifi connection. I do not have any speed issue at home. You could try the template locally with your pc browser and see if you have the same problem.

lxofith,

One more little bug...

When I use the search function (Query), the playlist does not load until you start playing in the album art pane.

I was trying to figure out exactly what makes the playlist finally appear.  It seems that clicking on "next track" does the job.

Thansk again!
