FirePlay Flash client for FireFly

[Bo Mellberg]

New version (v0.71) out.

Fixes:

* 1-hour songs have their correct length displayed
* Hold down play/pause for one second to abort the buffering
* XSPF playlist is generated on demand.

Why XSPF? Because it’s a free and extendable format for playlists. Please see http://www.xspf.org/ for more info.

Great!

But…

Winamp doesn’t support XSPF. Apparently there’s a plugin but I certainly can’t find it.

I realise this is entirely Winamp’s fault, but I’m stuck on Windows at work and Winamp lite really is the best of the MP3 players available.

Any chance of a second (EXTM3U) export button?

EXTM3U is as dumb as they come in terms of generating programmatically:

#EXTM3U

#EXTINF:2988,keysersoze - Love The Remix........

http://keysersoze.podOmatic.com/enclosure/2007-10-27T05_27_18-07_00.mp3

#EXTINF:2582,Brian Ibbott - Coverville-071030-The Fourth Annual Halloweeen Show

http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/coverville/~5/177458097/Coverville-071030.mp3

etc (the number being the length in seconds)

Cool. Works with VLC and Foobar.

I really consider FirePlay’s playlist “functionality” as a dirty hack and I really don’t wanna see it stay in the application for long. I still hope for a more appealing solution (save as…)

How’d you do this w/foobar?

Looks like I might have a problem with the server.

Does the following work in your browser ?

This returns soemthing but not in xml

I turned on the log and watched both this request and iTunes request. This request is http and iTunes is daap. Other than that the output seems to be the same.

BTW, iTunes can see and play from this server.

Here is the log:

You can also try the corresponding rsp call, which is what FireFly is using:

This looks like a firefly server problem. I am running mt-daapd 0.2.4.1. Any ideas?

Install foo_xspf

Unfortunately it struggles with transcoded files but the XSPF import works a treat.

Allright, give it a try. It’s a VERY blunt download instrument if you ask me, since Flash automatically opens your browser and lets the browser ask you what to do with the file.

Hi Bo. Suggest a small change. “Download MP3” is not right. How about “Download songs”

Hi,

For those of you who have modified fireplay.html to integrate it into the Firefly pages. I have a mod that allows me to keep Fireplay integrated but pop it out into a new window if I just want the player. Thought I would share it. It requires a second vanilla install of Fireplay, a couple of changes to fireplay.html and a gif.

Add this between the tags of fireplay.html

<!--

function popitup(url) {

newwindow=window.open(url,'name','height=620,width=800');

if (window.focus) {newwindow.focus()}

return false;

}



// -->

and this just before the tag

 <a

href="http://192.168.2.10/fireplay/fireplay_popout.html"

onclick="return popitup('http:///fireplay/fireplay_popout.html')"><img

style="width: 18px; height: 15px;" src="icon-popout.gif"

alt="Popout" align="absmiddle">

Popout

You will see that the last bit of code has a link to a second install of Fireplay on my webserver. This is the vanilla install. Requires me to install any updates to Fireplay twice but it’s worth it.

The popout gif is here

Have fun!

This requies one of the nightlies to support the XML requests.
