Wahoo!!

Thanks.
Was hoping you guys would do this.

Maybe someone who can code well will fix it up now.
I'd do it if I was any good at programming.

I am new to Windows programming but not to programming in general.  I'm trying to compile the WebRemote plugin but it's looking for files that don't seem to be included with the distribution: JMXStringArray.cpp and JMXStringArray.h.  A couple of other files are missing as well (a bmp, for example).  VCPP seems to think the JMXStringArray.* files should be in a SharedFiles directory outside the WebRemote directory.  Google knew nothing of these files, nor did MSDN.

Am I missing something obvious?

Next Page  No problem.  I'll look forward to the update.  Maybe I'll be able to fix a few of the issues people are having with the web server.

Alright.  Try 'er now... should be fixed.

Good luck and be sure to stop by the developer's forum if you have any coding questions. ( http://www.musicex.com/cgi-bin/interact/NeoBoard.pl?Action=ShowBoard&Board=develop )

Excellent.  I was able to compile the plugin and replace the standard one with the freshly compiled one.  It works.  Now to peruse the code and see what can be changed.

BTW, do I HAVE to keep that "(C) 1999-2002, JRiver, Inc, All rights reserved" at the bottom of every page?

No big deal on the copyright.  What I can see so far is that to make this thing look a little better I simply have to come up with a good looking style sheet that is referred to in the generated HTML.

Shouldn't be too difficult.  Then people can just make their own stylesheets, in effect skinning the HTML pages.

da5id / zigguratt,

Happy Happy Joy Joy !!!

Jim, In case you dont know Da5id has his hands on a nice XML front end that may just get to be a distributed control interface... His app is one I have mentioned to you on occasion....
I just love it when a plan comes together Next Page !!!

Okay, I've fixed the volume bug and have put in place some support code for CSS. The CSS stuff will take a LITTLE longer to complete as there is currently no support in the plugin for sending a static page (i.e. the CSS file).

How do I get the fixed version out to everyone? I know some people are anxious for the volume fix. You just need the int_WebRemote.dll (252k) if you've already installed the Web Remote plugin.

Done. You should have it in your mailbox by now.

I don't want to get people's hopes up about the Web Remote plugin. It is very much just a demo; it's not actually a "real" web server. I'll fix the current problems with it and perhaps see if I can have the controls on every page (no promises), but that's it.

On the other hand, I WILL be creating a plugin for my own XML server that will control MJ via the same mechanism as the Web Remote plugin. The server is written in Java (my native tongue) and already has a spiffy front-end that works entirely remotely.

Should be fun! I love a challenge.

I've just changed the plugin again to start the server automatically on load.  That was really annoying me, especially when developing!

I'll need people to test this stuff, of course.

OK can confirm that the auto start works and volume fixes seem fine... As yet all working well...

I do seem to be having some issues but they are MJ related not Web Remote related... Anyone have an idea how albums ripped can get the seq field out of sync with the track number ?? I am getting my mix albums reshuffled (and shuffle is off) back to the seq order each time I start an album or close the player...

I have had this issue a while but forgot as it seems only some albums are effected... What did I do wrong to these...

Back to the web remote all seems cool my end after a only brief look...

phatphreddy,
Check how you have your sort set under settings/options.

If you need more help, please start a new thread.

Glad to hear the new stuf works. I'd still like to hear from others on this. Perhaps starting a new thread would help...

I've been able to add CSS support now. It's still very rough but it does work. The only trouble is the HTML that's generated is SO vanilla there's not much to style. I'm going to work on putting the various bits in tables, etc. so there's some variety.

Yeah I was rambling I know.... Just it was the 'play' album command that showed up this reshuffle while clicking album in MJ or AV does not...

Anyway back to the web remote topic... I like it... and although the next fortnight to 3 weeks will be chaos after that I have some serious free time I hope to be able to help in any way I can...

Dan, Have you tried running your java front end on those puny touchpads yet ?? Did you get a touchpad from the deal ?? What is required (beyond OS) to get that client up and going... I have one virgin webpad that is purely Win98 converted to 98 Lite with IE 5.01 (IIRC) so as to push that little puppy to usable speeds...

If you want me to do any testing let me know... When I move I will be leaving the wireless net behind me so I may need to pick up another 802.11 card for playing...

Nope, haven't tried my Flash front-end on a remote device. I don't have one yet. But it's certainly within the realm of possiblilty. I can reproportion the interface to fit a small device like that.  I might have to lose the album cover display on something very small such as an iPaq. What's required is the Flash (F5) plugin on whatever target device. I believe it's available for the iPaq.  Anything running standard Windows just needs the standard F5 plugin.

I'm about to start another thread so people will be aware of the fixes and changes.

z and pp,
Just wondering what the simplest, cleanest device for this might be.  Meaning, where will the market find the path of least resistance for this use?  Web tablets?  Pocket PC's?  

The device has o be reasonably inexpensive and run a browser that supports flash.

Your thoughts would be appreciated (as always).

OK well I imagine PDA's would be popular but I am looking at Win flavors myself... I had a powerbuy on Stylistic 510 webtablets after Nabisco dumped 1000's they were running about 95 USD for a rough one to 125 for an A1 condition with stylus example... I ended up with 2 of those... Add a wireless NIC and you would be good to go for whole house control of whole house audio system via 802.11 as well as X10 etc...

Some links

http://pencomputing.com/features/fujitsus.html  http://www.oportal.com/Point510/default.asp

To be honest the SVGA DSTN screen is alittle low end and I was doing this as a cheap proof of cencept as I am hopeing to design and build a smarthome soon and this would give me a clue as to interation hassles..

The upper end of this has just had a shot in the arm with the release of Progear tablet (there are some upsides to the current dot com fallout after all !!) through Sonic blue for 599 this is lot but this is a magnesiam shelled TFT touchscreen with 400Mhz Cruesoe chip and integrated 802.11

http://store.sonicblue.com/dr/v2/ec_MAIN.Entry17c?SP=10007&PN=5&CID=56451&SID=25971&PID=365951&DSP=&CUR=840&PGRP=0&CACHE_ID=56451  

AFAIK these are sold out (well the win9x falvors are possibly some linux ones around...) and although these are pricey they dont need additional NICS as the 802.11 is built in... They look the bomb and will really make great touchscreen remotes for High end theaters and smart home development... These were 3k a few weeks ago !!!

I was sorely tempted but I need less toys not more !!!

Dan if you want me to test any speed issues in a week or so I will devote time (as soon as the emmigration is started)... In fact if you want to pay shipping you can borrow a 510 for a while (but I am in Europe so it may be just as cheap to pick one up as ship both ways fto end up with nothing !!!)...

I was soooo tempted by a progear !!!

Dan,
We'll help out on equipment if necessary.

Here's a device that would work except for the price:

http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/pc/pc_prodList.jsp?BV_SessionID=@@@@0589600961.1025105232@@@@&BV_EngineID=cadcegjfkmgebfekcghcfmfdgll.0&comm=CS&plin=Toshiba%20Pocket%20PC&pfam=Toshiba%20Pocket%20PC%20e740

It's $599 but it includes built-in 802.11b wireless networking.
