I'm getting this error:
http://pbrd.co/VsZc1j
getDirectoryFailure t: [object Object]
When i try to open my music folder

After the error, when i check chrome console, i see the listed directory's.
My guess is a too tight timeout.

After this it works (in chrome console)

Code:

interfaceTimeout
10000
interfaceTimeout = 123456789
123456789

Also, maybe an loading circle next to the dir to indicate its loading?

For others having this problem, open js/xbmc-comms.js

find
var interfaceTimeout = 10000;
replace with
var interfaceTimeout = 123456789;


Also, next / previous / shuffle / repeat buttons are not working (Frodo Beta 2)

Thank you for the input brantje.

The next/previous/shuffle/repeat buttons will be fixed very soon. I will also change the timeout value to be longer (approx 3x).

Cheers,
Kabooga

Thanks, do you have a github, or an other place where i can get the nightlies?

[Kabooga]

I started a github a few weeks ago (to get ready for addons submission).

https://github.com/mthiels/webinterface.xrc.git

Branch:master

Give the changes a try.

[brantje]

I Will.
Maybe an idea to add the rating? Below timeleft / total time.

Edit:
Send you a pull request with my additions

Kabooga,
2 questions...

1) Any thoughts around when Frodo compatible beta version will be ready?

2) Can you add custom buttons which the user can set the functionality? I'd like to have 'Zone' buttons where I can send commands to my Onkyo receiver to turn on/off Zones 1/2/3 ... thus each button would need an on & off state. I'm thinking I could put your interface on my 21" touchscreen as a 'jukebox' so my family & house guests can use it.

thx

There already is a Frodo version at:
http://code.google.com/p/xbmcontrol-web/...akechanges

The question of user defined functionality is an interesting one.
I could add buttons very easily to the interface but the question is how could the user set the functionality. Currently the only way the user can change functionality is by changing the javascript itself. Is there a JSON API or Javascript module to be used that can expand the functionality?


Note: I will have another Frodo update soon. It incorporates branjte's excellent suggestions.

I was thinking having basic buttons that the user could set via a text file (INI, XML, etc) that would send basic HTTP commands. This would help those of us that use Home Automation software/devices, which allow us to trigger event using basic HTTP. If you wanted to get fancy you could have the GUI take the input commands (like Maraschino does) but I'd be happy with a txt file

Hey Kabooga,
thanks for this very nice webinterface.

I just have 2 questions:

Is it possible to hide the .nfo files in the Video file mode view? When playing Music Videos this is very confusing.
And is it possible to have a mixed playlist with music and musicvideos?

[Kabooga]

Hi sascho,

Is it possible to hide the .nfo files in the Video file mode view? When playing Music Videos this is very confusing.

Hiding the .nfo files would not be a big deal. I'll incorporate this for the next release.

is it possible to have a mixed playlist with music and musicvideos?

This is a good question. I have never really thought out how musicvideos would fit into this scheme. I will need to research how XBMC itself handles music and musicvideos in the same playlist.

Regards,
Kabooga

Hi Kabooga,

thank you very much looking into it and your support and for your fast answere.

For the mixed playlist, I just can say that I use in the moment the first version of AWX webinterface which I changed a bit to my needs. Because using it in a party room
where everybody should enter some songs in the playlist, but do not know anything about xbmc, the web interface should work like a jukebox. Everybody could add a song to a playlist but
is not able to play a song directly and so on....so that the playlist never will break. That was the goal.
And there I played a bit the code simply which file is viewed or not and somehow I could mix now mp3´s and videos. This was under xbmc 11.

But anyway I think your solution here is more comfortable with the windows style and drag and drop so would be very cool to have that...thank you anyway. Meanwhile I will update the party room with this here and look how it works for the lads...maybe I will delete all nfo files for the moment!

regards,
sascho

sascho,

I think you can mix mp3's and videos in the music playlist.

I got it to work by going in XBMC->Music->Files->Add Source. The new source would point to the directory (or base of the directory tree) where the music videos reside. Refresh (or restart) XBMControl. In XBMControl you can now see the music videos using the 'File' view for Music. Just drag and drop the videos.

Hope this helps.
Kabooga.

any plans to put this in soon? It would be really nice t be able to make your UI the 'front-end' to a whole-home audio system. With this feature I could use the user-defined buttons for commands to turn on/off different Zones in the house. Would make a nice Jukebox for family and guests.

thx for considering
