I've just uploaded a new plugin. No fancy info page yet. :-/ http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/slim7/PlayLog/
This plugin will log (automatically or only on request) info about the tracks you play. It adds a link to the SqueezeCenter home page for a web page listing the artist, title, album, date/time, player name, and URL for those tracks. Each artist, title, and album is hyperlinked to a box that lets you easily search online -- search for CDs or DRM-free MP3s at Amazon, search Google Products, Yahoo! Web, Wikipedia, or your local music collection. I find it most useful for Internet Radio, to keep track of what I heard and make it easier to buy CDs for artists I discover. The configuration is only accessible with the old Squeezebox Classic/Transporter "player" remote control interface -- no Squeezebox Controller UI yet. In manual mode, you can make the plugin log info about the current track by pressing Now Playing and then pressing the Right Arrow button within a few seconds. Don't want to log info, try Now Playing + Left + Right + Right to get the same effect without logging. And you can always use the player UI to set the logging mode to Disabled. Features I'd like to add later include: - letting users choose between different monthly log files (I need to do this before April arrives!) - sorting the table by columns (I thought I'd found something, but it didn't work in IE6; the pop-up search box is also not as nice as it should be because I coded down to IE6 standards) - filtering by columns (think "Show only songs by this artist") - the ability to delete specific entries from the web UI - the ability to copy or move entries to new PlayLog files (think copy info about songs Sean would like to my "music for Sean" file) - the option to show only a certain number of tracks on one web page - the option to click on a URL and use a pop-up window to choose a player on which to play that URL - a Squeezebox Controller UI - remember the last 10 or so songs even in manual mode so you could log info about a track "after the fact" if not automatically logging the info already Below is a screenshot illustrating the search dialogue. -Peter +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: snapshot1.jpg | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4572| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- peterw http://www.tux.org/~peterw/ free plugins: http://www.tux.org/~peterw/#slim AllQuiet BlankSaver FuzzyTime PowerCenter/BottleRocket SaverSwitcher SleepFade StatusFirst SyncOptions VolumeLock ------------------------------------------------------------------------ peterw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2107 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=44582 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
