Title: WebEngine (WebPlay / WebRemote) SDK
Post by: Matt on June 23, 2010, 04:17:54 pm
There's a new wiki article here with documentation on WebPlay / WebRemote customization (skinning and functionality):

Excellent documentation. thanks. I am going to improve Simple Webplay skin based on this.

One question: for the leaf level - where we are seeing multiple albums by the same artists or multiple albums of multiple artists - is there a way to iterate over all albums and then iterate over all tracks of each album? It wasn't obvious from the documentation how it could be done. I would like to use such a nested iteration to present multiple albums as:

First album cover art - with Album name, Artist, Shuffle All, Play All links for this album

Track1 - track name for first album
Track2 - track name for first album
....

Second album cover art - with Album name, Artist, Shuffle All, Play All links for this album

Track1 - track name for second album
Track2 - track name for second album
....

Thanks,

Osho

I'd like to see more play abilities, especially "Add (as next to play)". When browsing individual tracks, this will be a lot more useful than the standard "Play" ability which replaces the existing playlist.

Two questions:

1. For any given track, can I get the track number please? Like [LibraryItem(x).Track#] will be great.
2. For any For any given track in an album, is it possible to create a link "Play Album" - which plays the entire album this track belongs to - starting from this track (and looping from the last track to the first track). Like [LibraryItem(x).WebPlayPlayAll Link] - this would only be relevant for a library item that is an individual track.

thanks,
Osho
