Thread: xpTunes - enhanced remote server (alpha) Updated: 11/13/2007
Started 2 years, 1 month ago by Messiahs
hi, i'm looking for some guys who want to test an enhanced remote server (webserver). Just an alpha and pda optimized... but fully customizable and stabile (i hope) Interested? Just send me a pm with your eMail-Address. Cheers Markus
A very (very) early feedback: it is working like a charm ! I was afraid of the "alpha" state of your plugin, but so far, not a single problem encountered. Moreover I have tested it on a Vista 64bit which is probably the worst testing environment. Very impressive I have to say. I will try it soon on my pda. Only a few features missing for it to be a replacement of the default ...
hi carbo, thanks for your feedback. to play a entire album or playlist is on my todo-list. i hope that i will find the time in the next weeks. to add something to "playing now" is a good point, but i have no idea how to solve this, because of space and javascript limitations (pda). I will try it. In a "normal" environment rating sould be possible... but on a pda i don`t think so (...
Thank you Messiahs! So far it seems to work very smoothly and I love it! I am using it from a laptop to control my music server presently. I will let you know any thoughts and or issues after a bit of usage.
hi AoXoMoXoA, thank you for feedback. if you have some css skills, you can easily customize the layout (at this time the theme/html-code is pda optimized). Markus

OK, I think I may have found a bug. When starting xpTunes server Media Center's CPU usage jumps from single-digits to 50% + and stays there. Stopping the server function drops the CPU load, re-starting it bumps it back up again. Using MC's internal Remote Server makes no difference to CPU loading.
hi AoXoMoXoA , it's not a bug it's a feature ;-) xpTunes prefetches and parse all your data at startup (artist, title, genre, album, playlists) to provide a faster browsing. it depends on your number of files how long JR needs to provide all this informations. I can slow down this feature (cpu usage will then go down), but then you have to wait before you can connect to xpTunes.
Every time you start it, the data will be prefetched. i have no plans to save the data at this time.... my PC takes for 20 sec about 40% CPU usage... that's ok for me. How many (audio-) files did you have and how long is JR at 50% CPU usage ?
@Sheugel good to hear. have fun! @Brad ah, now it's clear. "add song as next to play'" should be no problem. it's now on my toDo list.
You can control MC using xpTunes on the iPhone, and then listen to it using: http://rogueamoeba.com/airfoil/ There are iPhone airfoil speakers available in the AppStore......
So I just registered xpTunes, and since I haven't gotten my registration key yet I used the demo key just to get myself up and running. Unfortunately I'm not having any luck at all getting it to work on my HTPC. The server is obviously running, because I can view it from my iTouch, but I can't ever get any further than picking the skin I want to use. It just sits there trying to load. On the rare occasion that I do...
Any body else experiencing the bug that I reported earlier? Sometimes (Frequently, I'd say), the song ratings on my iPhone display are displayed incorrectly (displayed as 2 stars, when the song is clearly rated 3 stars in MC)
Quote from: starmanj on May 23, 2008, 08:55:54 AM Re: Itouch-- when I do searches on, say, artist, search returns with individual songs by that artist. It should return with only albums (or I would MUCH prefer that). It is simply too slow to wade through thousands of songs by major artists. Can do? So you want the behaviour in search to be the same as using the Artist page and selecting an Artist? It...
Quote without trying it, you have to add the onclick command -> " onclick= triggereventghost('volumedown');" Thanks, I did that but nothing happens in Eventghost... Am I right in saying that I'm supposed to see an event in the log of EventGhost after pressing the + or - buttons in the "playing area" of my iPod Touch? No special plugins needs to be loaded? Thanks...
Yep.. Ultra VNC works with xpTunes just fine! I'll switch to Ultra from Tough then.. Thanks! Quote from: maxxsid on April 15, 2008, 06:20:31 PM Thanks! I'll give ultra VNC a try!
Quote from: Messiahs on December 08, 2009, 03:13:12 pm Just tested this feature... works like expected. The option 'add to playing now as next to play' is checked ? (better restart xpTunes after changing this feature) What skin are you using ? xptunes Another song is playing ? Having investigated further, I guess it works as you expected, but not as I expected What I was originally requesting was for the tap of the...
