Suggestion: Track Info Components: Progress Bar, Rating
« on: July 25, 2007, 10:59:21 am »

The current TrackInfo web pages are really configurable, but in my opinion they're lacking 2 key things (especially for use in TheaterView's Playing Now screen):
1) A skinnable progress bar/elapsed time display
2) A skinnable star rating display that also allows modifications, or at least updates dynamically

It seems like these could be created as Flash/JavaScript/ActiveX components and made available for use within the TrackInfo pages, but I may just be dreaming.

Here's an example of where I'd like to use them:


I modified the BlueToo TheaterView skin to move the PIP to the top of the Playing Now screen and created a custom TrackInfo.

The elapsed time is currently done using a custom text visualization that I embed in the TrackInfo page, but I'd rather have a real progress bar...

The stars are updated properly when the song changes, but if I use my remote to modify the ratings they are not updated to match my changes as I make them.

I don't use ratings but a progress bar/elapsed time remaining display for track info would be great.
