FirePlay Flash client for FireFly

[blamm]

Hi Bo.

A couple of playlist edit mockups for you to consider. Dont know how much of this is possible but…

The first one shows editing a playlist. The edit icons only appear when you hover over a playlist name (notice the highlight) or select it (notice I am hovering over a playlist that hasn’t been selected). Delete icon appears for all playlists and clicking it requires confirmation before the playlist is removed. If its a smart playlist the edit icon appears too. Clicking this puts you into a smart playlist wizard.

The second one shows how playlist items might be removed or added (here fireplay is showing the content of my “swing rocks” static playlist). Again the icons only appear when you hover over an item or select it. If the playlist selected is smart then only the add icon appears. Clicking “add” pops up a list of the static playlists from which you choose the one you want to add the item to. Multiple selects are possible. Clicking delete removes it from the current playlist

Of course this can all be supplemented by drag and drop.

This thread is amazing, this plugin is amazing. Everything works perfectly for me *except* the display of the static playlists I have on the HP MediaSmart home server. I’ve looked through this thread and haven’t seen anything that addresses this, but please point me in the right direction if I’m wrong.

All my music is in my “music” share. In order to get playlists working on the Xbox360, I created a “playlist” folder on that share and placed my playlists there, where they are detected and played correctly by the 360 and a Roku (using WMP). Firefly over the internet picks up all my music, but not the existence of the playlists in the music share. Anyone have any suggestions? Does it have to do with the fact that these aren’t iTunes created playlists, but manually edited WMP playlists? Any help would be greatly appreciated, and so is the plugin…

Thanks.

i just updated fireplay to the latest version. I am hugely impressed. Mad props once again, and thanks for at last providing a means for my nokia n810 to access firefly. 😀 🙂

Are you running FireFly server on Linux? If you are on windows, the port is 9999.

Also, you can edit “Fireplay.html” with your own server parameters, using host=www.yourserver.com and port=9999 (or 3689 if you run FF on Linux).

firefly and fireplay are both isntalled on my ubuntu 7.10 laptop for testing.

later I will isntall on my workstation, this is just to figure out how it works.

fireplay looks awesome, but it seems not to be able to connect. see also my other related thread: http://forums.fireflymediaserver.org/viewtopic.php?t=7452

Do you see the interface at all? Can you do a screendump?

I’l attach a screen dump later, when I am back at home.

I do see the interface, its just empty. it seems fireplay cannot connect and tried connecting… it looks like its stuck before connecting, I imagine if it connects successfully, the interface will contain data about the songs I am streaming….

I just wanna make sure you use http://localhost:3689/FirePlay.html is that correct?

You should be presented with a login dialog box, just as if you go to http://localhost:3689/playlist.html (for the playlists manager).

If not, have you put the three files in the correct folder? (/usr/share/mt-daapd/admin-root/)

If you have, check the permissions on that folder AND the three files (they might have been messed up during copying).

– yes I use http://localhost:3689/FirePlay.html and I see its interface, its just that it is empty, I mean there are no songs/artists/etc. and it says connecting…
– I have no login dialog box, and neither do I get one when navigating to http://localhost:3689/playlist.html – well basicaly I get a dialog box, when navigating to: http://localhost:3689/ so I am already authenticated with the browser… I’ll try again with another browser and go first to fireplay result: it asks for password, i enter it, it says connecting
it seems I cannot uplaod any screenshot here …

– yes the fields are in the correct folder… and all files inside /usr/share/mt-daapd/admin-root are owned by root:root is that what it should be like?
