Hi everybody,

We have put together a simple submission form.
http://accessories.musicex.com/mediacenter/submitplugin.php

You can use it to submit your skins and plug-ins to MC's accessories page.

Thanks a lot for your continued support.

doesn't work? could be me...who knows.

Matt · « **Reply #2 on:** June 08, 2004, 04:08:41 pm »

Could you try again?

If it doesn't work, email bob @ jriver.com with some details.

Thanks Dragyn.

Dragyn · « **Reply #3 on:** June 08, 2004, 05:53:20 pm »

something came up...so I guess it works now. It was asking for username/pass before.

Dragyn · « **Reply #4 on:** June 24, 2004, 04:44:01 pm »

I uploaded my skins but when someone want to install it, they get the zip file instead. Anyway to change that or did I do it wrong?

bob · « **Reply #5 on:** June 24, 2004, 05:27:09 pm »

Sorry, my fault, I'm still working on the upload stuff. They should be OK now.

Dragyn · « **Reply #6 on:** June 24, 2004, 06:14:39 pm »

ok. some of the files work. not sure if you're done yet.

orange, blue, and bright blue of mine doesn't seem to exist (file not found).

If I want to update a skin, do I pick the number that refers to the mjp for the ID? I didn't get any emails that I know of.

I've written an exe that plugs MC into Russound's multi-room system. It probably should be a plug-in, but I was lazy and just wrote it as an exe. I'm happy for anyone who wants to have a copy to get one for free. Can it be submitted, or?

Exotic_BMale · « **Reply #9 on:** August 03, 2004, 08:18:20 pm »

Link works fine here?

Dragyn · « **Reply #10 on:** October 17, 2004, 07:57:58 am »

How's this coming along? I sent a few of my skins into this a few days ago but haven't heard/seen anything. A lot of ppl are wondering where they are. Some links from the previous time are not working as well.

bob · « **Reply #11 on:** October 18, 2004, 10:34:17 am »

Updates and broken links should be fixed now. Thanks for the heads-up.

Zoner · « **Reply #12 on:** March 04, 2005, 01:08:09 am »

I want to post my application which links MC11 to the Russound CAV6.6 multi-room system, but it doesn't fit within any of the categories you described. Could you add an "other" category? It's not a plug-in, it's an .exe that connects to both MC11 (via COM) and the CAV6.6 (via RS-232), and allows them to communicate together.

bob · « **Reply #13 on:** March 04, 2005, 01:44:34 pm »

Seems like a good idea to me.
Shouldn't be hard to add another category.

bob · « **Reply #14 on:** March 04, 2005, 02:19:08 pm »

Ok, I added an "Other" category. Go ahead and try submitting it.

Zoner · « **Reply #15 on:** March 09, 2005, 12:48:42 pm »

I submitted it a couple of days ago.

Beatnik62 · « **Reply #16 on:** July 28, 2005, 11:05:49 am »

Hi,

I have submitted my MegaMe Skin Aluminium via your submission form. It looks like the form doesn't produce a working mjp file, because when I try the link I get a error message. Second the name of the author should be 'Beatnik62'. Please can someone of jriver correct this ?

Thanks in advance,

Beatnik

That was fast, or I was only trying to download the skin before it was completely transmitted. Now the link works well, but the author .... maybe someone can correct it ? Thanks.

Edited by Beatnik : Thanks, now it's OK.

bob · « **Reply #17 on:** August 01, 2005, 10:26:44 am »

I added an author field to the submission form so we wouldn't have to guess. Thanks for the feedback.

RhinoBanga · « **Reply #18 on:** January 22, 2006, 03:10:42 am »

Hi,

I want ot update my PlayingNow plugin on your site but I don't have an accessory ID. Can you PM it to me please.

RhinoBanga · « **Reply #19 on:** January 27, 2006, 02:36:17 am »

Bump.

You can get it by looking at the id number in the URL of the rate link.

RhinoBanga · « **Reply #21 on:** February 02, 2006, 02:34:08 am »

Thanks Bob. I'll try it out tonight.

Marra · « **Reply #22 on:** May 17, 2006, 02:45:38 am »

I have written a comprehensive track info page which uses images extensively. It is I believe something completely different to anything out there. All up it is 4mb in size with example images included. It incorporates options to view track, album and artist details, lyrics, internet searchs, websites and games. All with "eye candy" in mind.
To add it, do I simply use the submission form at the top of this thread?
How do I go about adding screenshots?

TIA

Marra

LonWar · « **Reply #23 on:** May 17, 2006, 07:08:29 am »

The screenshots, you would need to host on your own site. Seeing how it's only 4mb, most people will install it anyway.

I look forward to seeing your info plate!

Take a look at www.imageshack.us
for screenshots, very useful

Alex B · « **Reply #25 on:** May 17, 2006, 07:28:58 am »

For forum images you need to have a personal host, but the Skins & Plugins area can host two separate images. You can upload the images directly from your PC with the same submission form:

I finally got around to submitting my Lyrics Editor plugin late last week sometime. Any idea how long it should take before it's listed?

KingSparta · « **Reply #27 on:** October 30, 2006, 01:30:34 pm »

At one time it was automated, but it was sort of broken.

Not sure why they went to a manual way to submit.

I don't like it, so I don't play with it

It is one reason I Just put it on my own pages.

Doof · « **Reply #28 on:** October 30, 2006, 02:05:37 pm »

Yeah, I have my own page for it, but I figured it would get more publicity if it were featured on JRiver's site.

lalittle · « **Reply #29 on:** March 24, 2007, 05:23:05 pm »

I have a few questions about the submission of a couple standard view skins (this is totally new to me, so please forgive any dumb questions.)

1) How do I find out what to put for this:

"List of Actions for a mjp file (if necessary) or
link to offsite page if you will be hosting the accessory"

I have couple skins I'd like to submit, but I have no idea what "actions" are necessary for this, or where/how to find this out. I did look over some of the DevZone links, but I wasn't able to figure out how it all works.

2) The submission form says to submit a zip file. Does the site automatically take care of unzipping the the file and installing it directly when the "Download" link is clicked on the JR site? In other words, does the submission for take care of the "mjp creation" process?

3) On a related note to (2), how much of the folder path should be included in the zip for skins? Do we just zip the files with no path and let the submission process do the rest?

4) What's the "Accessory id"?

5) Once submitted, can it be removed by the submitter? If so, how?

Thanks for any details on this stuff.

Larry

KingSparta · « **Reply #30 on:** March 25, 2007, 08:30:13 am »

I think the submitter is all manualy done by someone at JRiver if and when they have time to post it.

1) How do I find out what to put for this:

"List of Actions for a mjp file (if necessary) or
link to offsite page if you will be hosting the accessory"

The mjp actions tell MC how to install the accessory automatically. For example:

[Package]
Name=Aluminium (black)
Action=INSTALLSKIN
Url=http://accessories.jrmediacenter.com/mediacenter/mc_data/plugins/785.zip

The URL gets set when the plugin is added to the list. This is the simplest example. If someone submits a plugin without the mjp actions, I add them manually.

A more complex mjp, using version 2 mjp looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes" ?>

<MJPF version="2.0">

<Package>
<Name>Kaktus</Name>
<Action>UNZIPDIR|SAVE_DIR_STRUCT</Action>
<URL>http://accessories.musicex.com/mediacenter/mc_data/plugins/794.zip</URL>
<Version>1.0</Version>
<HasActions>1</HasActions>
</Package>

<Actions>
<FileEntry>
<File>*.*</File>
<Action>
<Command>COPY_DIRECTORY</Command>
<Param>FullSkins</Param>
</Action>
</FileEntry>

See above on mjp creation. The zipfile that you upload containing the accessory is downloaded BY the .mjp that you click on in the download link on the JR site.

3) On a related note to (2), how much of the folder path should be included in the zip for skins? Do we just zip the files with no path and let the submission process do the rest?

Yes, zip the file without a path.

4) What's the "Accessory id"?

5) Once submitted, can it be removed by the submitter? If so, how?

Thanks for any details on this stuff.

The accessory id is sent back to you on the submission of a new skin. You use that in future modifications (that is why it's only required for updates in the form).

So who would like to post a "no-skin" skin? I'm really tired of all these colors. I would love a normal Windows application window, functionnal and sober, and using the exact same scheme as the rest of the OS.
