invoking context menu command is implemented for currently playing item only. it isn't hard to add what you want, but I'm busy with something else at the moment.

It's a shame :/

I'm currently almost able to set the rating to an element from the playlist. With the /runcmd-playlist command it's possible to set the rating to the selected item from the playlist.
I've tried using the cmd=SetFocus command to select an item from the playlist but it doesn't get selected the same way as it gets selected when clicked with the mouse; so the /runcmd-playlist does not work.

Is there another way of selecting a desired item from the playlist? Or can the "SetFocus" command be changed to select the item "properly"?

Thanks for your efforts!

In my own interface I already set the rating for the currently-playing using the runcmd command but right now I'm trying to set the rating of an item from the playlist.

Thanks!

Care to post your interface ? Cheers..

It's not finished yet. I just need to improve the look&feel, though.

I¡ll try to finish a version the next week or so..

according to documentation, you have to put foo_httpcontrol_data folder to C:\Documents and Settings\<username\>Application Data\foobar2000
moreover, the path where component expects to find foo_httpcontrol_data is clearly shown in fb2k console error message.

Perhaps it should be noted that this component is not compatible with the F2K component installer in the documentation instead of expecting users to figure out what hasn't been resolved by the developer.

I'm trying to use the new command "SetSelection" but it's not working for me..
I'm doing this:
?cmd=SetSelection&param1=0

What I'd expect is the first item from the current playlist to be selected but it doesn't.

I'm using foobar v1.0.3.

Edit: The same behaviour under v1.1.1

works for me. example: http://127.0.0.1:8888/ajquery/?cmd=SetSele...ram3=NoResponse selects first item of active playlist.

show your full url and fb2k console output (enable "log access to console" in preferences beforehand).

Now it's working for me too.. I haven't actually changed anything so I don't know what was happening before.. :/

Thanks!

Hi, looks very interesting with plenty of features
I see there is a server : does it need foo_httpcontrol ?

[sonvolt]

Yes foo-httpcontrol needed.

Regi24 - How do you get into change settings if it wont connect?? do you need full path c:\users\house\appdata\roaming\foobar2000\foo_httpcontrol_data ?? (Windows 7)

You have to follow the instructions.
You need to unzip the file "foobar2000controller.zip" here: c:\users\house\appdata\roaming\foobar2000\foo_httpcontrol_data (if you have a regular foobar installation, not portable).
And then you need to configure foo_httpcontrol in foobar2000 as apropriate.

In the device you should only have to change the IP address from the server. The other fields are preconfigured to work with the default settings of foo_httpcontrol.

The settings folder in Android software is not the full path but the folder in c:\......\foo_httpcontrol_data\foobar2000controller". I mean, you have to write only foobar2000controller.

Will this app work without the playback statistics component? I understand that the ratings part of it will not work, but am hoping that the rest will function correctly.

The rating and playcount is not gonna work but the rest will work fine.
It's intended to use both foo_httpcontrol and playcount components, though.

Thanks for the answer. I use foo_playback_custom as I like the extra options it provides. I am going to try out your app in the next few days.

Is anybody aware of any updates to the lxofith of kev0 templates for the iPhone? Specifically, I'm looking for a fix that enables playback of the 1st track when switching (or restarting) a playlist. For example, say I'm listening to track 5 on a playlist and I try to play the 1st track, track 5 just starts from the beginning. Same thing happens if I open up a new playlist and try to start track 1. Whereas if I click on any other track than the 1st (while on either playlist), that track plays from the beginning (like I would expect it to). Make sense? I figure this is buried somewhere in the iphone.js file, but I'm too amateur to reverse engineer this JScript. regi24's Android app looks awesome BTW, but I have an iPhone ...

I've been searching for awhile now for the best way to play my FLAC files stored on the PC in my back office by wirelessly networking to the PS3 (and then receiver) in my living room. At first I just tried using foo_upnp to enable access to my foobar media library using the PS3, but that creates the annoying/intolerable side effect of gaps between tracks. foo_upnp Playback Stream Capture enables me to stream the audio output from foobar on my PC through the PS3 without gaps between tracks, but how do I control foobar while in my living room? Enter foo_httpcontrol and my iPhone. foo_touchremote was an option, but I couldn't get it to work on my XP machine and I'm not very enamored with iTunes-like navigation. Am I the only one who just wants to be able to choose a folder (by artist), open a subfolder (by album) and play it beginning to end anymore?!?

Other suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks for reading ...

[Kev0]

Makita. I'm afraid I'm not seeing your first track problem. I can start the first track no problem, and flick between playlist and start from anywhere. So I'm not sure how I can help.


Just a suggestion on your other point, in the foo_upnp settings, under streaming profiles, at the bottom I have "Audio Processing" in there there is settings for crossfader and skip silence. I wonder if they could help you?

Kev0 - Your config is my favorite to use, but unfortunately I have had to stop using it as scrolling through the tracks in a playlist does not seem to work on my phone (I have the Original Motorola Droid running Android 2.2). These seemed to happen when my Android version went from 2.1 to 2.2. Do you know if there is any fix for this issue?

Thanks!

Thanks all for the expedient replies. Oblikoamorale, your script was the exact solution I was looking for.

I just reinstalled my HTPC which is running foobar with this great plugin, controlled via iPod. I did a complete uninstall of foobar and reinstalled the latest version of both foobar and the plugin. I experience that the mobile-templates (simplebasic, ixofith, kevo) don't work anymore - at least for me. SimpleBasic is completly destroyed on both FF and iPhone, ixofith and kevo don't display any playlists, i can not play anything. AJquery and Default are working as usual. Am i missing some new/changed configuration steps?

Thanks!


edit: to make that exact: i do not have any navigating issues with my iOS devices, simplebasic looks like a bomb hit it (displaying the correct album art though), while the other two i mentioned do not display anything of what is playing on foobar. The situation is exactly the same on my desktop with firefox.

try latest component version, I've just removed additional non-ascii char stripping which seems to affect most of the 3rd party templates.

[Hamallainen]

Hello.
Small bug : in the 0.63 version of the ajquery template, you added shift+[ or shift+] to resize playlist height but for me, shift+[ doesnt work while shift+] works well. foobar2000 1.03; foo_httpcontrol 0.96.12.1; firefox 3.63

Hi. I still have this problem. I have updated both ajquery and foo_httpcontrol to 0.64 and 0.97.6. I tried with 2 browsers, Firefox 3.6.13 and Chromium 10.0.647. Am i the only one ?
