Hi, First sorry for my english. Are there any trackinfo in which appears the song that is playing with the rest of the album's songs? For example I am listening "Who wants to live forever" by Queen, I want to see this song and the other from the album "A Kind Of Magic". Is this possible?
Thank you.
-
Today it's not possible due to limitation from the plugin. But you may want to try deivit and I (http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=42976.0) plugin.
(We grab the full tracklist from last.fm)
-
Thank you ;), I like this plugin v.1.5, but sometimes i haven't got internet,. This is my problem. :'(
Thanks for you reply. Very good plugin.

Hi,
I have seen a track info called "all I need". In this trackinfo there is a field where it say "other songs in this album". Is posible with this field show the other songs from the same album? What field of the tag is showing?
Thank you.

It uses the User Library field "Songs" that you will need to create and then fill in. There may be some expressions that will automatically fill in the field for you but I'm not that familiar with expressions to know what they are.

thanks for the reply:)
I have created the field "songs". but I don't know how have I filled this field? I haved tried to fill it with the other songs from the album, but its very tired, i though that this field recognised the album and show the other songs. :'(

here are the steps:
download:
http://www.stardev.de/xptunes/download/xpTunes_trackinfo.zip
1.) Unpack the zip
2.) start xpTunes.exe
3.) choose Address and port (button ‚settings’)
4.) save values
5.) start Webserver
6.) copy folder 'xpTunes' from folder 'Copy2TrackInfo' to the folder 'Media Center 12\Visualizations\Track Info'.
7.) open file 'index.html' in copied folder ('Media Center 12\Visualizations\Track Info\xpTunes') and change "var url='http://192.168.178.21:8081/.......;" to your ip and port).
8.) choose xpTunes in JR (Track Info)
thats all.
Please let me know if you have problems.
cheers, Markus

thank for the hint

Do you think you could port part of your work into an embedded "trackinfo plugin" (without the server functionnalities) ?
I'm willing to collaborate actively on such a project (coding, skinning ...).

Thanks. I'll try it this weekend.

:'( Hi, I can't use XP TUNES. "Error: Port in use" "La dirección no es válida en este contexto"
Can you help me?
-
hola,
it seems that the port (default 8081) is in use by another application (perhaps the build in JR-remoteserver) or you started xpTunes twice or your firewall blocks xpTunes.
You can change the port in xpTunes -> settings.
Cheers,
Markus

yes. if you have small css-knowledge it will be no problem.
All style-settings are stored in the styles.css.

hi neFast,
it's possible but not so easy... cause the trackinfo-plugin uses IE to show the pages.
What are the reasons for replacing trackinfo ?

Hi, it was my fault, because I had written a wrong ip. Thanks ;)

Ok, I have seen yet the css folder, thank you

i updated the trackinfo-skin:
http://freenet-homepage.de/Messiahs/files/xptunes/trackinfo.zip
just copy in the xpTunes/trackinfo folder (pls backup before).

I'd like to build something like Amarok by mixing informations from Last.fm (see my trackinfo skin) and from the music library (other albums, other tracks from the current artist).
(http://amarok.kde.org/files/amarok14/shot1.png)
Imagine my current skin showing "similar track" from last.fm but with a clickable link to play the track that you do have in your library.
What's the problem with showing html pages?

sounds good.

As an complete replacement for trackinfo i have to implement IE as an control or something.... and i'm not sure if i like this idea.
What's wrong to redirect trackInfo to xpTunes (like currently done) ?
Please do not understand me wrong.. i really like your idea.
Cheers,
Markus

here are the steps:
...
7.) open file 'index.html' in copied folder ('Media Center 12\Visualizations\Track Info\xpTunes') and change "var url='http://192.168.178.21:8081/.......;" to your ip and port).
I haven't tried this yet, but couldn't you just change it to "var url='http://localhost:8081/...;", or "var url='http://127.0.0.1:8081/...;", so it would work without modifications?

hi john,
you're absolutely right... normally.
But xpTunes is developed as an remote server and the intention is that you can use every skin on every pc from everywhere -> so you have to change the redirect url to your xpTunes-Server ip (to use the trackinfo skin from everywhere).
But really good idea.
