Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] New Single-Page Frontend App written in React for Logitech Media Server
So, did you actually accomplish your goal? I also tried to write a frontend for a particular Media server. The aim was almost the same. I also wanted the users to be able to get to any track/album in just one-two click. jennvasu's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=71860 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=112734 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] New Single-Page Frontend App written in React for Logitech Media Server
Hi, Understand it's an initial effort, so no worries on lack of polish. Some comments: 1. Grid mode relies solely on album cover. If there is no album cover you use a default icon - but no text. Thus in grid mode there is no visual data about the album, neither in the grid view nor with a cursor-over popup. For folks who have a lot of live recordings (bootlegs, etc) that may have no album cover, this is not useful. 2. There needs to be a visual prompt for the icon-size adjustment slider, otherwise it looks like screen candy and not a control that does something. 3. When using composer/artist view mode, you're using a loop to iterate through the data, but you include the text "Albums" inside the loop so it shows up for every album. That wastes a fair bit of both screen real estate and processing. 4. Same issue for composer/artist view as for grid view -- reliance on cover without showing album title reduces usefulness. 5. Just lock the playbar in position. It takes up little space; locking it removes need for the upper-right icon and the code for hiding/showing it. Will comment more later - off to feed friend's dogs.

Usable, but it needs a lot of work to tidy things up, especially Composer/Artist layout. The first album cover below appears to belong to artist Amy Lavere, but it's by Allison Moorer.

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] New Single-Page Frontend App written in React for Logitech Media Server
I've written a new frontend for Logitech Media Server and am interested in some testers/users. It runs in the browser like the existing web interface but browses the library in a single page app using React and MaterialUI. The goal was to get to any track/album in as few clicks/taps as possible, and without multiple page loads. It uses Howl.js to stream directly to the browser/device if it is not set up as a playback zone. Unfortunately this is my first post on the forum, so I cannot yet post the link. If interested, reply to this post, or search for "Boulez Logitech" on Github and you'll find it. This is a free and open-source project under active development. If people take a liking to it, I will do feature requests. It is bundled and built as a theme so you can install it with a single drag and drop operation. nbeversl's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=70516 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=112734 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
