Crossfire (webbased/iPhone/iPodtouch) streaming client

[Anonymous]

Update:

Up until now I’ve only tested Crossfire with Safari and Camino on the Powerbook and Safari on the iPod touch. I’ve just tested it with Firefox and everything looks at it does in the screenshots and youtube video for ver 0.5.0.

I’ve managed to reproduce the PHP error when using my iPhone:
PHP Warning: fseek() [function.fseek]: stream does not support seeking in /Users/myusename/Documents/Webserver/crossfire/binairyproxy.php on line 137

It seem to occur when i installed Crossfire on lightHttpd webserver+php (fgci), and browsing with Mobile Safari on the iPhone.

If you get a blank-page using Safari and/or Camino, this is probarbly due to the fact I’ve didnt add specific Safari and Camino templates yet.

However Safari and Camino support should work fine.
Edit the config.xml file and add the Safari and Camino user-agent identifiers as below.

If the default.xml template works, try the jpint_tiger_firefox.xml (this also should work fine on Safari.)

PS: I am going to install both Safari for Win after work, and see if this works 😉

I edited the config file and at first, nothing changed. I then added the jpint_tiger_firefox.xml line with the identifier for Safari, and everything looks and works ok on Safari on the laptop. On the ipod, everything looked ok but none of the files would load, I got the crossed out play icon. I did a bit of googling and found that the identifier for the touch is “iPod”. I added a line for that and it’s all good now.

As for the streaming problem , it’s all a bit over my head. 😕 Does it look like it’s a limitation of MAMP?

Thanks.

Did you ever get the issue with lighttpd resolved? I have been trying to get this to work on my FreeNAS machine using the lighttpd binaries that come with it, but certain cases actually cause the server to crash.

Oddly enough, I see the iPhone-friendly interface in Firefox, but I see the same white/blue tabular interface on my iPhone and in IE. Have you ever run across this?

One more question: I see that there are certain variables that are duplicated between config.xml and index.html – to change the behavior, should both be modified?

1. I’ve been working on the LightHTTPD problem for some time, but it does seem like a problem with the fast-cgi PHP binairy (and the way Byte-content is served through PHP). The only way to get around this is by using the internal_cache (which first copies the file from Firelfly, to the internal directory). This is an older workaround and can only be used in combination with the default.xml template

2. To change the default skin for your iPhone, edit the config.xml and specify the correct template. (if you like the jpint interface, you can use jpint_tiger.xml for instance).

3. The 0.5.0 index.html file should have a comment saying:
// use the config.xml file to change the application settions
The application variables in the index.html are overwritten by the values of the config.xml file. the Javascript currently located in the index.html file might be replaced in future versions, altough the config.xml will stay consistent and opts for backward compatibility (ignoring new features).
There are some cases where people want to edit the index.html file for adding their own features but generally, this can be done using the template scripts.

edge –

If it helps, I am running apache2+PHP5 and am encountering the “stream does not support seeking” error as well. I scrapped my box with LigHTTPD.

You’re right, turning on internal_cache and using the default.xml template solves the problem. What aspect of jpint_tiger.xml causes it not to work with the workaround? I really like that UI.

Thanks for everything!

I’ve the JB-iTouch with Lighthttp&Apache and i wanted to listen to the Server on my Server.
I’ve read so far and tried so far, but i’m a nOOb (no, not a totaly new one) and crossfire isn’t working.
The only mssg i get is “There was a Prob with the Request)
and i already looked after the MIME-Types, they’re there.
So, what the heck?
Is it possible that php is missing? (i couldn’t load it today)
could load it now, but it still won’t work and gives the same error

Its quiete possible that PHP isnt installed.
You can run Crossfire on either Lighttpd or Apache, but those webservers will need to have access to a php module (fast_cgi php or mod_php).
Check http://www.php.net to install php, and the Apache or Lighttpd manuals to configure them.

Also when using a iPod, you will need to add the line:

to your config.xml file (within the gui_templates section).

thanks for helping, but after entering the line u suggested, the same error occurred: “there was a prob with the request.”
( i had the “config.xml” twice; one’s in my /Lib/WebServer/Docs/Crossfire an one’s in ~/Sites/Crossfire)
Second Prob is, that there is no PHP-Module else than PHP,Apache & Lighthttp for the iTouch, so what else can i do, where could lie the “dead body” from which this shitty error occurs….

I am a nOOb in php and so on, so please be patient 🙂

I read the O’Reilly docs, but i’m shure, that i forgot sth.

you dont need Apache or Lighttpd for the iTouch in order to stream music from your server. On your server (PC) install PHP/Apache. You can test if its running by creating a simple test page with the following content:
<?php
phpinfo();
?>

---

[EOF]
If you point your browser to it, it should return all kinds of PHP and Apache information.

Hope this helps,
else just send me an email with some more details (on the installation) at tony.tromp(at)gmail.com.

Cheers,
Tony
