web remote volume control doesn't work
« on: May 02, 2002, 05:15:35 am »

When I highlight the link it shows up as http://SOMEADDRESS/setvolume=25?location=Player%20Controls in the status bar.  When I click on the link or copy the link it comes up as http://SOMEADDRESS/setvolume%3D25?location=Player%20Controls.  If I remove '%3D' after setvolume and replace it with '='then it works fine.  This happens working on several different machines on both IE 6 and IE 5.0.

This webremote has some potential hope we can see some additions like playlists.

Right now I think I will wake my wife.

Yeah, I reported this bug ages ago. They haven't fixed it.
The reason being I think because although they include the web remote and it has a lot of potential, they dont want to include it particularly as part of their product.
They mentioned in a post a while back that it was purely there for demonstration purposes.

It would be nice if they'd fix this tiny bug though as it'd only take two seconds to replace the %3D code with =.

On the same subject - I found a perfect example of how this plugin could work and with all the features it would be nice for this plugin to have:
http://www.kplaylist.com
U need Apache installed though along with mySQL to use it but luckily I do.
It's the perfect example of how this plugin should work.

OK I looked up the 3D and in hex that is the '=' sign.  IE should be converting this but for some reason doesn't want to.  It converts the rest of the hex characters fine so I don't know why it doesn't like this one.

Yeah, I should have mentioned that.
I know it is. The problem is that IE is interpreting the = as part of the data that is being sent and so it's turning it into %3D to send it.
It needs to have an = sign to indicate that it is specifying the value of the setvolume parameter. Right now it thinks it's part of the name of the parameter.
