here you go

One small bug: The component automatically adds a trailing slash to the default path set in preferences. The JavaScript eval function interprets this as you wanting to ignore the closing quote of the "p" element, causing it to error out. Of course, since we have url-encoded path in "pu", "p" may not even be necessary. It's easy to strip the slashes out though, so I'll do that for now.

Thanks for the update.

edit: also, it seems the commas are missing between rows in the BROWSER_JS array.

whops, sorry! completely missed the necessity to escape slashes. the issue (along with missing commas) is fixed for newly added macros, and the current version is updated without increasing version number.

Any update, Auric?

Any chance for support of embedded album art?

I absolutely love this. Thanks a lot

The browser is pretty much done, but I need to implement enqueue support for directories, and I'd like to create subheaders for each album in a playlist. I'll see if I can't release something this week.

Awesome work! Any updates?

Here's my modified version. Designed for iPhone, very barebones, no browser. http://www.2shared.com/file/3899339/d6fcdf...ntrol_data.html

Sorry for the lack of a release; I ran into a memory leak the other day and wanted to make sure it wasn't something in my Javascript. There's still a lot of features I could put in, but I'll try to get something out soon.

Any update is good news, Auric. I'd love to help you out if you'd like.

Ok, here you go:



Download iPhone template release 1

A few notes:

- Like Larskl's template, this one requires that you access it via index.html
- The "playlist row" field in the HTTP Control preferences must be set to the following, or some variation thereof:
- The shuffle button does not work like the iPhone shuffle, on account of the foobar shuffle not working like the iPhone shuffle. Rather than shuffling the playlist, it picks a single track at random and continues forward from there.
- This template automatically refreshes every 5 seconds, regardless of whether or not you have the auto-refresh option checked in the HTTP Control preferences. This is largely because the the AUTO_REFRESH macro is passed with quotes, and I didn't feel like stripping them out for an option that you should really leave turned on. If there's a demand for it, I'll fix it.
- Many features are missing, on account of it being really hard to mimic Apple's UI with only a single form of user input (left-click). I have a few ideas in the works, but feel free to make suggestions.

Thanks, Auric. Though it chokes on large playlists (3143 items).

There is a setting in the http control preferences that is named page entries. Set that to however many playlist entries you want listed per page. Hope that helps.

*Feature Request* I would love to have a way of keyword searching either the playlist or the directory list, this would be extremely useful for those of us with large collections. Thanks again.

Yeah, I kind of expected that. I believe it has to do with the maximum execution time allowed for Javascript on the iPhone. Have you had better luck with other templates?


Currently, the playlist does not support pages, as I wasn't designing this with very large playlists in mind. I'll see if I can't work up something up, though. Until then, I would recommend against loading playlists with more than 100 tracks.

A keyword search wouldn't be hard to implement, but like anything else it's matter of where to put it on the screen.

Actually, until this point I had been using a very simple layout with no playlist controls, just Play/pause, next, and previous.

I'm working on breaking the playlist up into chunks and loading them as you scroll. The iPhone has no problem loading the whole playlist into memory, it just can't display it all at the same time.

Thanks for the great plugin and sorry for nitpicking, but "Browse path" restriction is easily avoided appending "..\" to the path.
Of course it's not a problem as long as you have the password set.

right, thanks for pointing that out. I'll add additional checks for this case.

FYI, Firmware 2.1 has added the ability to make a web app run in full screen.

Good to know; I'll add that in next time I get a chance to work on it.

this is great. perfect for my needs. huge thanks to all
The only missing feature for me is some form of search facility. In Foobar proper I use Album List set to 'by folder structure' to search my huge classical collection. Is it possible to emulate something like this function remotely?

Auric: Thanks a lot for your work. I use your template but not on an iphone. I use it on my mac with fluid and its amazingly beautiful!!!
Yet i have one problem and 2 feature requests
My problem is that when using your template, the playlist page is not scrollable. I tried with fusion and firefox and it s not scrollable. Maybe it s something you want on iphone but do you know how to change that?

No my first feature request is to have a button on the playlist view to clear it. That can be useful when you want to change the music your listening to: you clear, you browse and you enqueue.
The second feature request is about enqueuing and i am not sure if it is doable.
When in the browser, if i am on a directory containing no mp3 files but directories which contain mp3, if i click enqueue nothing is enqueued. I suppose it is because the function for enqueuing is not recursive. Is it doable?

Thanks for your work, it s beautiful

EDIT: When switching track, the album cover is not refreshed.

It has to do with how the iPhone handles scrolling. To restore the scroll bar, open up the CSS file and remove the "overflow: hidden" attribute from the BODY element.


I'll see what I can do.


That's not something I can do on the template end; the plugin would have to support it.


If you manually switch tracks, it should update. If it switches automatically after the previous track ends, there may be a pause, as the data is only requested every 5 seconds.

it has been possible from almost the very beginning with EnqueueDirSubdirs cmd.

may I ask why you didn't go in the way suggested by stock template, where the page is being refreshed only on track changes or in case of insufficient playing track data? requesting data every five seconds might be a bit consumptive batterywise.

idk if this is supposed to allow this, but whenever i try and access the ip i supply in the program from another computter, i always get a "Forbidden" page

did you set any value to "Remote IP" field in plugin configuration page?

yup, as the outbound ip of the computer

check "Enable logging" in preferences, try to access remotely, and then post screenshot of plugin preferences window and contents of foobar2000 console.

http://quasi.schererzoo.com/screenshot.jpg

and yes that is with me trying to remote access, it doesnt show up at all, which leads me to believe its something wrong with vista

I think you misunderstood something. your "bind to interface" field equals to "remote ip". why is that? you said you are trying to connect to machine running foobar2000 remotely.

yes i am, so should bind to be local host? and if so, what should remote be?

once again, remote ip defines the one and only ip you're allowing connection _from_.

http://quasi.schererzoo.com/screenshot.jpg

so technically, if im trying to connect remotely from a computer that has the IP 192.168.1.4, this should work?

no it wont. your http listener service is bound to localhost ip which is unreachable from the remote machine unless you set up the routing
change it to whatever ip has the network card connected with the remote machine (192.168.1.5 iirc judging by your previous screenshot)

ps I hope you are not trolling

Ahh, I stand corrected. I posted in haste without checking the available commands. Now to find room for another button on the template...



I would need to read the track length and set up a timer to request the data at the presumed end of the track. Certainly doable; I just haven't had time yet.

Thanks but i would like my page to be scrollable with mouse wheel but still hide the scrollbar. Is it possible?

ok i got it, thanks, and no im not trolling lol

For all intents and purposes, no.

Good to know thank you

When any tag is updated, foobar2000 freezes for up to 15 seconds (at least when a large playlist is active, >30000 entrys).

Patient: Doctor, it hurts when I do this...
Doctor: Then stop doing it...
