foo_httpcontrol, control foobar via http Options

[johnbhoy]

i then copy the the foohttpcontroldata folder to
c/documents settings\DAW\Aplication Data\foobar2000\user-components\foo_httpcontrol

wrong, where did you get you should copy this folder there? it goes to c:\documents settings\DAW\Aplication Data\foobar2000\ as it always did. also notice the error message states a last bit of the path where the component expects to find its data.

Yup. that will be the blindingly obvious error that i was making. I was reading the readme for httpcontrol in the rar file.and was reading it too quick and not actually reading it all. more skimming over.

Thanking you..

Hey guys,

I made another Template especially for mobile devices.
It is based on 'simplebasic', but its not much I left as it was.

I took simplebasic because its design looked like a good Mobi-Template.

I optimized it for a resolution of 320x240 pixels, as my Nokia E72 has. Its been tested on the Nokia in-build Webbrowser(my recommendation), Firefox(on PC) and Opera Mini v10.

Have Fun: http://tinyurl.com/mobile320x240

Hi, I'm currently doing a template (optimised for 800x480) but I'm having a little problem..

When I do this:

foovar = eval("(" + response + ")");

(response is the response given by the http request).

Only works if foobar is STOPPED. If it's playing/paused firefox gives an error (missing : after property id).

Can anyone help me?

The responses:

STOPPED

Edit: I've found out the problem.

When I set this: helper1=[%album%] in the "config" file, the response is not "helper1": "AlbumTitle" but "AlbumTitle" (wuthout the "helper1":).

Is there any possible workaround to be able to use the helper1 and getting returned "helper1":... ?? Nevermind, just needed to modify "foo_httpcontrol_controls_tpl.html".

i'm struggling to get Search to work in either basic or ajquery

I have a playlist with circa 87,000 items.
i switch to it and start playing, so far so good
I press Search and a window appears letting me write something
I choose something i know i have/can see in the mail playlist, type it, press return..
..a new "playlist" called "query" appears but it contain entries

what am i doung wrong? i recall the search function working in the past..

[oblikoamorale]

I'm clueless, you didn't specify how you expect it to work. technically it works as it always did: it searches the media library and puts result into a separate or current playlist, depending on preferences.
by the way, it's not a very good idea to store all of your music in single playlist, that's what media library is for.

[sla]

When I'm trying to use ajquery in a directory with different name (not "ajquery"), I recieve such errors:
In web-interface:


And in console:


Some text in russian so I'll explain - the first string tells that "\foobar2000\foo_httpcontrol_data\ui\foo_httpcontrol_controls_tpl.html" file not found. Other strings tells us that foobar is trying to find config file in non-existent directory, this is because of installation to directory with name "ui", not "ajquery". the error message shown in the first screenshot tells the same.

I think that it would be useful to write a tip in readme file for installing to defined directory ("ajquery") or (think this case is better) modify this webui to not to use hard-coded directory name.

Best regards.

[oblikoamorale]

well, readme states you should keep directory structure when extracting template files, so I think it's ok there - once you start to write explicit "don't shoot yourself in the foot" warnings, you won't be able to stop.

multiple template support system designed in the way that every template should know its name beforehand. it's a simple choice actually: either we have absolute links within templates, or we're losing the important ability to use more than one template simultaneously.

thus, if you want to change template name, you'll have to search and replace through its files.

In the Vakata2 template, I can't get the filebrowser to work. It doesn't queue anything.

It appears to send this:

CODE

foo_httpcontrol: [ 22.08 09:45:07 ] 192.168.1.35     /vakata2/?cmd=Browse&param1=\\AMD3500\Rapidshare\Back To School - Extended Soundtrack\06 - Twist And Shout.mp3&param2=EnqueueDir&param3=browser.json      : Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.8) Gecko/20100722 Firefox/3.6.8

When I use a different template, the queueing works okay and the second parameter is not sent. This works:

CODE

foo_httpcontrol: [ 22.08 09:49:14 ] 192.168.1.35     /ajquery/?cmd=Browse&param1=\\AMD3500\Rapidshare\Back To School - Extended Soundtrack\06 - Twist And Shout.mp3&param3=js/browser.json      : Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.8) Gecko/20100722 Firefox/3.6.8

I tried modifying the vakata2' script.js file to remove EnqueueDir to no avail.

Any idea on why vakata is sending that param2 and how to remove it?

Is there any way to get the albumart of each song in the playlist??

Thanks!

[oblikoamorale]

no, it is not possible. album art data is retrieved for playing item only.

Hi,

your Plugin rocks
But there is a little problem:

I am using foo_httpcontrol_0_96_15 with template vakata2 but I cant enqueue single files from the directory-area on the right.
Examining the code, it seems that the EnqueueDir-Command is used with the filename of the mp3.
After downgrading to a few older versions I figured out that this worked in foo_httpcontrol_0_96.11.

Could you please repair it?
Meanwhile, I will use this older version.

Greetings from germany

Do you know if anyone works on an iPad, configuration for foo_httpcontrol ?

[regi24]

I'm trying to use the command "QueryAdvance" in from the interface i'm developing.

The problem is that I generate this: "%artist% IS The Smiths" but it's actually sent: GET http://x.x.x.x:xxxx/new/?cmd=QueryAdvance&param1=%artist%%20IS%20The%20Smiths

Does anyone know how to send it properly??

I do this to send:

var xmlhttp = getXMLHTTP();
xmlhttp.open("GET", myurl, true);

where myurl=http://x.x.x.x:xxxx/new/?cmd=QueryAdvance&param1=%artist% IS The Smiths

Thanks!


P.S. I assume foo_httpcontrol can't receive the data in another format than "%artist% IS The Smiths", right?

[oblikoamorale]

first off, the syntax you are using is suitable for SearchMediaLibrary command only. it accepts any fb2k-wide valid search string with or without titleformatting.
QueryAdvance is a different thing, it is designed to be shifting between three steps defined in component preferences, somewhat similar to castrated facets.
and at last, to pass special chars like % properly, you need to urlencode your request string. see Url class in ajquery for examples.

Thank you.
The main problem was that I was using QueryAdvance instead of SearchMediaLibrary.
The other issue it's been solved by using escape() function with the "parameter1".

[sisyph]

so I have a problem, but I actually don't know if you people can help me out since this concerns foodroid.

I have an android smartphone and I can access the interface by the set ip address through my browser and can control foobar on my computer.
but when I enter the same address in foodroid it either says "an error accured. no valid connection :-(" or "connection failed :-("
what's up with that? I tried port forwarding, but that can't be it, since I have access to it in my browser .. something seems to be wrong with foodroid.

help anyone? the component rocks!

[oblikoamorale]

I suggest you forward the question to foodroid developer himself: foodroid.net84.net

[vogliadicane]

help anyone? the component rocks!

or a firewall setting? You shurely tested the access from the same computer, where foobar was running, right?

[vogliadicane]

@oblikoamorale:
can it be, that runcommands via httpcontrol don´t work anymore since foobar1.1?

The code I have used all the time doesn´t work anymore since I updated to foobar1.1. I have tested an old installation (1.0) in parallel, using runcmd from the command line interface directly works for both. Using http control only works for version 1.0. foo_runcmd is the same version for both.

I have moved my components when updating (to user-components), so maybe it´s a matter of relative paths httpcontol uses??

edit: additional info: in contrast to the 1.0 installation there is also no message in console regarding runcmd when using httpcontrol with 1.1

right, it doesn't work. try this, and make sure "allow command-line interface" is ticked in preferences.
