[misterhouse-users] Controlling MP3 player with web interface

[Mark R. <mar...@gm...>]

I very happily using MisterHouse to control XMMS to play MP3 and Ogg
files.  I have some web interface suggestions that I'm not really sure
how to implement in the code myself.

MisterHouse's web page for controlling the music does a great job of
adding files to the playlist, but there does not seem to be a way to
remove them.  It would be nice to be able to remove individual songs. 
It would be even better to have a button to clear the entire list.  I
would also be nice to have a buttons to sort the playlist in either
random or ascending order.  (i.e. Shuffle/sort the playlist so that
the songs will either play in random order or not.)  Another feature
that I would like to have is the ability to click on a particular
title in the playlist and have the player jump right to that file.

I may be able to implement some of these myself eventually, but time
is in very short supply these days.  (I'm working two jobs, going to
school full time, and trying to take care of my family.)  If someone
else would code up these features, I would be grateful.  Thank you.

There is a Clear Playlist link on the main playlist page (or maybe I
made one, can't remember exactly)

Keep in mind that the functions you're asking for need to be available
in both winamp and XMMS for compatability (at least they need to be
supported by the remote plugins)...

As for the web interface, are you referring to the Main Jukebox pages or
the popup NowPlaying one (and it's playlist). I've been considering
adding some functionality to the playlist (eg remove a song), and
possibly a random button on the main pannel (of the popups).

any suggestions taken

Re: [misterhouse-users] Controlling MP3 player with web interface

I don't see the Clear Playlist link.  (I am looking on the MP3 Jukebox page.)

I sometimes use an X10 remote to send commands to XMMS via MisterHouse
using the Xmms_Control.pl script.  The script is able to do everything
I want to do, except for clearing the playlist.  It seems to have
access to the playlist (e.g. for shuffling it), so I don't suppose
that clearing it would be difficult.

As for the question of where to put these features (pop-up NowPlaying
window or main Jukebox window), I'm easy to please.  As long as I can
find them, I'll be happy.  :-)  The pop-up NowPlaying window's
playlist seems like the logical place to add links to make the player
jump to another song in the list.  The other features probably belongs
in the main jukebox window.

Thank you.

Ok then First the Clear Playlist.

Pop open XMMS, clear the Playlist then save it as 'Clear Playlist'. 

Make sure you save it to where your mp3_dir parameter points to.

Then rebuild your mp3 database.

This should give you a playlist named 'Clear Playlist' in your playlist
selection page. When you select it you get a blank playlist, and can add
songs tou your hearts content (though only a temporary playlist).
Subsequent selections of this playlist will then clear the list on
demand

Re: [misterhouse-users] Controlling MP3 player with web interface

[Mark R. <mar...@gm...>]

Thanks for the idea.  The problem is that when I click on a playlist,
the songs are concatenated with the previously selected playlist.  So,
clicking on the Clear Playlist playlist results in no change to the
playlist.

The interesting things is that when I use the X10 remote to select a
playlist, it does clear the old playlist before loading the new one. 
I would really like it if the web interface behaved this way.
