Very cool idea. Does it run quickly?
I'll be watching to see when you make it available!

Sure it runs quickly, I have had some weird issues getting auto-start to work with different version of JW player, but I think I've hammered out most of the bugs, I've also added video support, updated the pics on the main page. Once I get a decent looking UI to surround the main video screen I'll put out some details on how to get it setup. The main problem I can already see is this script is written for my folder layout/subsonic setup, its going to take a flawless setup script to tune it for each user.

Did I really read "Drag and drop sort for the playlist"?
You are telling me, that I would be able to drag the last file and drop it to 2nd position? I won't have to click 15 times in order to have that song played next?

This would be so big.

Pleeease, releeease

Yes, drag and drop in the playlist is functional, I've also added an option in the right click menu to just pick a position to move it to. I ran into a problem saving playlists when they get to a certain length(I believe it's based on maximum http request length), although I've managed to save a playlist containing 300+ files, so it shouldn't be a problem for most users. Loading a playlist with almost 500 files is not a problem.

I'm close to finishing up the setup script which will create the sql databases and write a settings file based on user input.

Got a db as follows:

1,096 artists
1,124 albums
13,650 songs
235.47 GB (~ 3,657 hours)

Think this will be a problem?

The problem I was experiencing was related to playlists(to be specific the amount of songs you can send to be saved through the API at one time) as per the API here , unless I'm missing something, you have to send all songId's in one request for saving a single playlist. When you have a playlist that you want to save with 500 songs and the songId's are at least 10-15 characters in length you wind up with a massive url string.


If performance becomes an issue because there are too many artists on the left hand side I'm sure there will be a way to slim the display down. My album list has around 350 displayed in the primary view(I think I'm around 540 total) and it has no problems.

that setup script... is windows based ?
cause many users here use freebsd/linux

a nice sh script would be nice.
and the required packages

but.. very very nice work ! im really impressed

setup script is in php, just gotta goto it from a computer on the local network and it should setup all the variables/tables

[jeremy]

oh okay that would be simple. and easy cross platform

can't wait to give it a try, a makeover is overdue
