Oh, and would you consider putting the version number somewhere in the ui so people could report versions?

The version number is already displayed on the top right of the UI.

Can I suggest you make a link inside the player to the latest version? Perhaps use the version no?

[sonichouse]

Could we have an option to toggle the skin ?.

I preferred the original colour scheme, as that is more in keeping with the rest of the firefly web pages.

That would be good. Personally I would like to see it use the house Firefly style. Perhaps even embedded in a Firefly page with the regular menus etc so that you can get at other pages easily. Much like the existing playlist page but with player controls.

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.

Yeah. I noticed that. The Wii doesn’t have a lot of memory, try streaming video to it!

If you feel brave edit hdr.html and add to the list on line 53 the following

 
FlashDAAP

Then edit FlashDAAP.html and add the stylesheet and include like this

@include hdr.html@









AC_FL_RunContent = 0;

Finally add the following as the last line of FlashDAAP.html

@include ftr.html@

Thanks. That worked a treat.

Bo.. Any chance of making it look a bit more like the stuff on the playlist page??? 😉

Absolutely. I was just playing around, trying to make it look nice.

I haven’t looked in to it much, but I think most of the things in Flash can be CSS customized. Perhaps this can be a way to make it “skinnable”, using an external CSS file.

Ron: Include it if you feel it does the job better than the java one. The code is all yours. Do you want to handle it on your project page? If we had the source for this Flash client in the same spot as the Firefly server could I work with it directly towards that address, making the nightlies always contain the latest version?

Also, since this is no longer based on DAAP, I suggest a name change to “FireFlash”. Perhaps the version numbers can be the same as those for FireFly? (FireFlash svn-1586 etc)

@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.

There is a new version making the host and port “per client settable”. It includes an update to the html to this:

FlashDAAP.html (edited lines):

'movie', 'FlashDAAP?host=@HOST@&port=@PORT@',

As you see above, to be sure this works on as many platforms as possible, you need to update your host and port info in three places. Also, I tried to use @HOST@ and @PORT@ in those places, but @PORT@ did not bite. Don’t know why because @HOST@ worked just fine… If you need this working NOW (until Ron tells use what to use instead of @PORT@ just fill in your server and port needs and the Flash code will parse them. If you are happy with “auto mode” just set them both empty, like this:

'movie', 'FlashDAAP?host=&port=',

Hi Bo,

made all the changes, and the web page said conecting to slug:@PORT@

if I set them to &host=&port= it worked fine.
