I had to set the port to =6600 instead of ='6600' but that's a minor point.
Is the plugin supposed to give access to a list of songs? All I could
do was shuffle around tracks a bit, but there's nothing remotely like a
commercial jukebox.
- find a track
- choose it, it's added to the bottom of the list
- tracks are removed from the top as they complete.
I think that people who want this simple, trivial functionality are
perhaps writing it themselves. As someone else pointed out, mbux is a
really good example of what I want, but it fails with segfaults and
floating point exceptions on a dual core CPU. It seems to be unmaintaned.
There are at least five good media centres and about a hundred
acceptable personal desktop players, but I can only find two pieces of
broken unmaintained software that even try to do a party mode/jukebox
interface. Of course I know this isn't freevo's problem, but could anyone
point me to a community which might be able to help?
