Subsonic Forum

Im working on a forum sig to show what your playing and stuff like that, but its php so you will need to install that as well.

I have a dam good question, im a php man and would love to get php talking to subsonic.
Im still picking up java as i go but some help would be nice to get me on my way.

(wow this was my 100th post lol)

I'm hoping to add a REST interface to Subsonic to better support third-party integration.

A first, minimal version of this *might* come in 3.8.

Now that would be nice to have in subsonic as i have made some nice apps that will go with it.

Give it a How To for this Feature? I will create my own Stat-Signatur. We have Version 3.9 . Works the Feature?

For anyone that is intrested here is a little look at the signature im working on this min:

This is the live signature not just an image...


All comments and ideas welcome, but please bare in mined im still working on this and have a lot im adding.

yes very intersted, any eta on a release?
been trying to get the other one posted earlier working, but nothing but problems with that script....
can't wait to test yours
peace

byte

byte

Could I take a look at the code?

sweet ill send u a pm with the code I have, when I get home from work.

oh and btw....the code is all over the place, as im not much of a programmer, I do understand the fundementals, however I dont code much and it shows in my code

once it's finished I plan on posting the full code, if anyone wants what I currently have (everything works except album art) just pm me

peace

Thank you

I'll do my best to get the cover art right, I really like this idea

Edit: It turned out that it's not that hard to make one (never worked with XML in PHP before, so I had to learn that first)...

I hope to get a nice result tomorrow (playing with text alignments)... After that I'll take a look at the cover art...

Edit 2:


Edit 3: And now I got the coverart working to

bytethdgroove, would you mind sharing you code with me as well? Have you figured out how to only display now playing information for a specific account?
Thanks

Thanks

My script does that, I only have to solve one bug... I can release my code after that if bytethdgroove is ok with that?

Edit: Bug solved

ofcoarse I dont mind, i didnt start this idea, was only trying to get mine to work...(which as i as i posted earlier is an extension to lucrons original sig..added some more options and styling) and was hoping to get album art added but never got it working
here is the code its a lil sloppy as I was testing things last, if I can add album art that would be great
