MiniSub - Subsonic HTML5 Web App (Archive)

[tbmx]

Copy the "MiniSub" folder to C:\subsonic\jetty\2583\webapp

Hmm...don't see anything like this.

The standalone version I have only has about 6 files.

I've installed this on an unRAID server with the standalone version...not sure if that matters.

Are you talking about the subsonic.war? I run the 'app' on OSX. I un-compress the war file, add it to the root of the war and then recompress. Not sure if that's what you mean by standalone though...

Yep, that did it. Thanks!

Anyone else having issues with the keyboard shortcuts not working? Space bar play/pause is working fine, but arrow keys to advance tracks are not working....tried on Chrome and Firefox to no luck. Accessing via Mac, if that makes any difference on the key mapping...

Works fine on my 10.7 MacBook I have here at work. I'm not a Mac user but it seems to work fine in Safari. Try clicking inside the Artist window, you sometimes need to be focused on it for it to work.

Just posted a pretty decent sized update to GitHub.

2/22/2012 .021 added sidebar for chat and now playing, bug fixes
- Added the Side Bar to display Chat and Now Playing, notice the toggle at the bottom
- Better support for different directory structures (will show a song if files are in the first directory instead of folders)
- Added a Preference to change the client name, used in conjunction with custom players/transcoding in Subsonic settings
- Display tweaks for better Chrome support

Thanks for the update. It fixed some visual artifacts that were in the last version. I like the chat sidebar. I will have to make some accounts for friends!

Good to know, thanks! I've been thinking how it can be better integrated with Subsonic, like the login process. I'd like to propose, or develop, a way to make that more seamless. I'm open to ideas!

I was thinking to have have an option where the default Subsonic login page will redirect to MiniSub, but we wouldn't want it to always redirect. I guess maybe my only option would be to decouple MiniSub from Subsonic entirely. Meaning I would package it as a Chrome App. We would most likely loose Playlist functionality, at least initially. This is caused by having to use JSONP for cross domain API calls, which doesn't allow a POST request.

Big things! I was able to convert all the POSTS requests to GET and implement JSONP. So MiniSub is completely separate from Subsonic as far as installation goes. Just input your username/pass and the server url and your off to the races!

I published a Chrome App in the Chrome Web Store https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/jccdpflnecheidefpofmlblgebobbloc.

I will be updating the code on GitHub shortly for those users who want it "installed" or don't use Chrome.

Nice one tsquillario,
I shall be installing that into Chrome when i get to work tomorrow
I do use SubWiji at work but I still need to go to the webUI sometimes, this is a nice clean view for that.
Does it have access on the settings page to refresh search index?
Thanks

As with SubWiji it's all API calls. From what I know there isn't any API access to that particular setting. I suppose someone could write one and get Sindre to include it in the next release, lol...

Wow, now this is starting to get really good. Keep up the good work. If you're open to suggestions I liked the way the A-Z list looked originally when it was vertical. Would there be a way to implement that and keep it static?
Another thing to think about down the road maybe is to get sharing with friends easier, now that we have a chat pane. For now I tell friends to login with a guest account, but chatting is no good if everyone is called "guest." Wouldn't it be cool if I could put a note on Facebook that said "listen to my music: install this chrome app and point it to my.subsonic.org" and at that point anyone could request account credentials by clicking a button. Not sure how to make that work, just tossing around the idea.

Yes I would definitely use it but still great work

About the A-Z list. I find myself using the keyboard to navigate between the artists (just hit the letter on the keyboard). Do you use MiniSub on a tablet or phone? I'm not against adding both and giving users the option, I'll take a look at it.

For sharing. The API has a createUser function so I could implement a simple registration screen, but they would have to login with the guest account (must be authenticated first before submitting API calls) then they could create their own account. You wouldn't be able to approve who registers either, no email confirmation. There is another project that implemented a Registration Engine as a bolt on. It uses a separate MySQL db.

Thanks for the tip about the registration project. I use MiniSub on a computer, but the reason I brought up the A-Z list is because I think a vertical list would be cosmetically more appealing. The horizontal list takes up two lines, which makes it look a little funky. With the keyboard shortcuts an A-Z list isn't even really necessary, come to think of it.

The reason I kept it is when people use it on a tablet or phone, there is no good way to skip around between artists. Especially if you have a lot of them Not sure why they don't just a Subsonic app for their platform, who knows.
