Hm, may I be so bold to ask how you tell the flash what server to connect to?
I think for a split second I see connecting to “slug:8008”, but then it doesnt show ANY music of course, coz that port…. well is just plain wrong, its cherokee’s port on my slug? 😕The code for the server detection looks like this:
var serverstring:String = "http://" + String(this._url).split("/")[2];
Which evaluates to (on my server): http://www.mellberg.org:3689
Given that you have your browser to connect to your server with:
http://www.mellberg.org:3689/FlashDAAP.html
and you have placed all Flash specific items (html, swf and AC-runactivecontent.js) in your admin-root folder.

But where is another problem, if i mark an artist and that results in just 1 album hit and that album has varius artist, all are listed in the songlist window 😕
Running 0.52 on Slug
That’s not a problem, that’s a feature! 🙂
I like the possibility to see all tracks from the album you choose, not just those with the selected artist. But it also seemed unnessecary to show “(All 1 albums…) if there is only one. So we’re loosing the capability you’re asking for, but the interface is more intuitive.
We could off course update the artist list so that it contains just artists from the chosen album. Then you could go back to the artist list and chose the artist (artists) you want to listen to from that particular album. Most albums has just one artist though, so the artist list would be rather empty most of the time.
Anyone else have any input regarding this? I’m all ears…but now I’m off to bed. G’nite!
This works great! Thanks for a job well done (so far).
No problems here with the progress bar.
Album art would be a great addition to the player.
Check the follwing link at the Adobe forums for some direction on how to accomplish it in flash…

I think an xml call for retrieving song art would be the win.

This behaviour is not typical but I like it. Maybe it could be optional. I would expect for this mode the player to automatically select the song in the compilation that matches the artist. It will be interesting to see how this would work with an “All (N) Albums” option for that artist. Presumably that would show only the songs for that artist. I suspect things would be clearer if you allowed us to create and see a “Now Playling” playlist.
Is there a general interest in being able to define a “now playing” queue? I would expect to be able to 1. Select it from the list of playlists. 2. add and remove things from it (by dragging things in and out or by right click”
On my Wii (Opera + flash v7), FlashDAAP v0.52 connect ton my server, display correcly and start to retrive the song/artist list from it. But befor the end of that prosses the Wii give me an error “not enough memory for flash applicaton”.
And sometimes the Wii juste freez.@Bo Mellberg wrote:

Ok, now I get it. And it works 🙂 Yay!
If i place it in the mt-daapd directory it works, of course. Still, if I want to run it from another webserver on the same server, say, cherokee, it doesnt work because it assumes the wrong port. At the moment that doesn’t really matter as I am the only user. But that might change. So any clues for hard-coding the server:port somewhere?@fizze wrote:

How about the url taking some optional parameters e.g. FlashDAAP.html?server=slug&port=3689
The code could then check to see if they were supplied, if not it would auto-detect using serverstring:String = “http://” + String(this._url).split(“/”)[2];

@HOST@ and @PORT@ get automatically substituted when they get streamed out of the embedded web server. So if they could be set as parameters in the flashdaap.html, then it could get automatically set.
Bo — do you have any objections if I start including flashdaap rather than the java dingus in the nightlies?
You had said at some point once you were out of heavy development you would release the source, right?
Oh, and would you consider putting the version number somewhere in the ui so people could report versions?
