Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Re: Announce: AlbumReview plugins
even when there's only one album to pick from it still doesn't work for Check the spelling of artist and album name. See the examples kbeast gave earlier in this thread. The plugin is not very tolerant when it comes to spelling... me. How do I get it integrated into the slimservers' player interface as you have in your screenshots?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Re: Announce: AlbumReview plugins
Jim, Hard to tell... What exactly am I looking at on the plugin page when I see (Couldn't find any information!(2))? If the plugin can't get (usually due to a timeout) the content from allmusic.com, it will display that message. You're looking at the plugin's web page which does consist of a simple error message. Because it never changes. I assume it's the last error message. Is there a way to clear it? Isn't there an update link on the page? Or open the page in a new window where you can hit ctrl-f5 to force a refresh. I also just installed your string editor and when I do a search the plugin seems to hang up - I get an hourglass that doesn't go away. That's a problem I fixed only a few days ago - and forgot to upload the file. Could you please download the latest zip file and give it another try? -- Michael --- Help translate SlimServer by using the SlimString Translation Helper (http://www.herger.net/slim/) ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

I thought the review was displayed on the album information page. It might be a nice addition somehow, even if you only included a link to the AMG web page for the album, if it were available on the album page so that information could be read while browsing instead of only for the currently playing album. I like the track information as much as the album review, in part because it displays the composer and the track duration, both of which are unavailable in SlimServer.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Re: Announce: AlbumReview plugins
Thanks for the plugin. Works just fine for me with Slimserver 6.2.2. Don't suppose it would be very easy to display the review on a squeezebox along with the other track information, rather than having to call up the plugin with the remote?

There's no way to have a plugin hook into the generation of web page output? (without altering the template in skin, that is). What about hooking into CMDWRAPPERS or somesuch? Can a plugin be hooked into any other operations, such as scanning? For instance, say you had a plugin that you always wanted to run immediately after a rescan finishes. Most likely to add or modify information in the library database. -- JJZolx Jim JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=14235 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

Really? There's no way to have a plugin hook into the generation of web page output? (without altering the template in skin, that is). What about hooking into CMDWRAPPERS or somesuch? Everything is possible, of course. After all this is open source. I could have you hack the main server code to better integrate the plugin ;-). What I meant is that currently there was no official way to do so, no API call, if you want. And I don't know the unofficial solution, yet. Can a plugin be hooked into any other operations, such as scanning? It must be possible, as eg. the lazy search plugin shows. But as a plugin author you'd have to keep up with every change in the code as soon as you leave defined paths (plugin API). And this isn't always easy. -- Michael --- Help translate SlimServer by using the StringEditor Plugin (http://www.herger.net/slim/) ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Re: Announce: AlbumReview plugins
I just started using this plugin tonight; really enjoy it a lot, thanks for the work on it! What would make it perfect for me would be if the album rating from allmusic could be displayed somehow and also display if it was an editor's pick album. Not sure if that is feasable at all; just wanted to mention it tho!
