Great job on this, Bo.

As I mentioned before, you update so often I’ve created a quick script to update the swf file. I may add it to cron…

#|/bin/bash

cd ~

wget -O FP.zip http://www.mellberg.org/FirePlay.zip

unzip -o FP.zip FirePlay.swf

sudo cp FirePlay.swf /usr/share/mt-daapd/admin-root

Well, set it to 5 mins, otherwise you might miss a version… 🙂

Might want to

wget –timestamping

so it only pulls down file if changed. Kinder to Bo’s web server too 😆

Take a look at v0.68. All icons are there but random is not active yet.

Also there is a problem with the volume when it starts a new song (volume is reset to 100%).

Perhaps just a few more tweaks.

Make the volume bar completely grey (see below) so that volume button stands out more.
Make the “off” status for repeat and shuffle grey too (they are a little too light to be seen).
Use the same grey as the little loading spinner when it’s dormant.
Make the spinner light blue when it is spinning.

Otherwise this is looking very nice now. Really pleased. Thanks.

It actually is looking nice 🙂
Mad props to you, Bo!

Thanks Fizze – another bug fixed 😆

Great program!
May I suggest a readme file or similar to help newbies who haven’t been following this on how to setup? You have to search long and hard to find this in the forum.

Here’s an interesting request.

I have discovered in my travels that is is possible to stream individual songs from Firefly to a local player using the a URL like this.

<a href="http://http:///rsp/stream/”>http:///rsp/stream/

For those of us who have FLACs and OGGs (that cant be played in Flash) would it be possible to include a function that creates a playlist using these URLs from the current songlist (or even individual songs) that can be downloaded into a local player?

It could be available from a simple link above or below the songlist or even available by right click from a song.

An XSPF (XML Playlist) option would be good as it can contain song info as well.

Thanks

+1 That would be way cool! 😀

Interesting as you said. I could build that XML at the same time as I populate the song list. I don’t know if it’s possible to save it to disk though, Flash is kind of picky on that. But if I can set it’s MIME to application/xspf+xml perhaps it would open up in the player of your choice directly and you can save it from there. I’ll make a test.
