Hi All, Since I bought my Squeezebox I have greatly expanded my music collection which is good. The bad thing is that when I want to play something I can't possibly remember my whole collection. I think that sounds pretty familiar to many of you?
In search of a tool able to print the collection in nice format to paper I got stuck; there isn't such a tool. Therefore I have created a script to do exactly that and maybe someone can use it to so I decided to post it here. The script is called AlbumCatalogCreator. I have attached some images from the GUI and the output files. There are a few options to change the layout. The help file further explains most of the questions (I hope). How does it work: - It connects directly to SlimServer database using default credentials used at installation. It then queries the database and generates the output. Some things to know: - The mySQL ODCB driver is required to be able connect to the SlimServer database. It can be downloaded here: http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/odbc/3.51.html - It looks for album cover files named either cover.jpg or folder.jpg which must reside in the actual album directory. - It assumes there is a dedicated folder for compilation albums because the SlimServer internal compilation detection doesn't work very well (I am forcing myself to put it nicely) - It automatically inserts page breaks (only for printing purposes). Since browser print margins can only be set using the browser, you may need to narrow the default margings. You can also change the header and footer so the ugly URL isn't printed put page number are instead (see help screen in application for more info) Well, I hope you can use it at your advantage. I consider it a Beta version because it works for me but hasn't been tested by anyone else yet. Since its a VBScript, you can change it yourself but I would greatly appreciate if you use this threads in case of bugs or ideas for me to work on so other users can use it too. The script can be downloaded from: http://www.vanholt.nl/uploads/AlbumCatalogCreator.zip Start the script by double clicking the AlbumCatalogCreator-V1.hta file. For those interested; have fun and happy new year in advance.
