OK I have been looking at this plug in... It is precisely the tool or building block from which a distributed whole house audio control system can be based.. (one machine centric amp switched not distributed machines)... I have already go this running a my webpads and now can browse my audio collection via wireless network and play / pause etc... Far more 'built in' than using a 2 Girder TCP/ IP approach... LOVE IT !!!
First point... Any way to make the plug in auto enabled ?? I can make it enabled but then must press start... If you think about it a 'server' should be able to boot and start serving from a power out... Perhaps once the server is started it could run until 'stopped' between shutdowns like the other plug ins ??
Second... Dont believe the volume controls are working properly... Commands are being passed but not getting actions accordingly.. I also notice that when you press the - or |PLS| buttons (1% at a time correct ??) it repeadly sends a command 1% lower than the listening eg listening at 75% it sends 74 74 74 74 instead of 74 73 72 71 etc... i suspect that this may be because the volume is not changing though and it is getting a 'volume state' variable that is not moving and minusing one and getting same answer... Am I being clear as mud here or do you get my drift ?
Third, Boy that is UGLY !! Thats the kind of plug in that only its coder could love (kidding)... Fell out the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down... Feeding it with a catapult... etc... etc... So how was the HTML side of it coded ?? Is there a way a non coder could get into redesiging this ? If not what was it written in ?? C|PLS||PLS| would be out of the question but with help I may be able to rip apart some VB ?? Even better is if the 'real' code could be seperated from the HTML side... Basically what I am looking for is as much info / SDK / Detail as I can immerse myself in for this puppy as i can see massive potential in this.
Forth, This may be that I dont know how to use MJ properly yet but when I use AV plug in or select an album from albums list they start at the beggining of the album.. When I select a 'play all' from inside 'album' in web plug in the tracks are 'shuffled' as a lot of what I listen to is DJ mixes this totally screws with the formats... I have shuffle off in MJ itself and cannto fathom why this is happening... The 'seq' field of albums wont stick rigidly with 'track' order ?
OK I will stop there.... I know this is probably awful timing to be bugging you about stuff as you are trying to rol your RC together (BTW that .284 has got rid of the only errors I had... 0 crashes so far) so if you need to tell me to wait thats cool (or just mail me so much SDK / stuff / code about this plug in you drown me in it and I cower in the corner with blood coming out my ears would be cooler
)...
Either way you have a convert...
Keep on trucking
