Version 0.6

now. I've done quite a bit of redesign work, particularly that I've
decided to optimise the default template for the iPhone and other
modern devices. The control screen now uses Ajax to send commands back
to the server and this has resulted in a much more responsive feel.
You can checkout trunk from the repository if you fancy having a play
with it. It is, of course, work in progress so expect things to be
incomplete and possibly broken.

as well, however gray text on a gray background at 6 pt type (on an
iPod touch) is really hard to see. I'm having trouble with the cover
art on both the new and old versions. I followed your suggestions on
gd but it still isn't working. I can find no info on configuring gd.
However the old app reports no cover art found even though the
Folder.jpg file is there (and Squeezecenter finds it). Is there a
possibility of supporting. png as well?
Do you want any detailed bug reports at this stage?

config and making sure the case matches what you've used for your
cover names. Also, make sure the imagecache directory is writeable by
your web server.
As for the font size stuff, it would be worth updating your code tree
as I'm making changes quite regularly at the moment and it's probably
changed quite a bit already! It's probably not really worth giving me
any detailed bug reports, unless you think it's something I might not
have noticed.

by creating an imagecache folder (it was not created) and setting the
write permissions. Doing that on the old version's existing imagecache
folder didn't work for some reason.
Running both new and old at the same time seems to be problematic.
Sometimes it starts but no sound??
The graphics are improved again with the updates and are much more
readable.
Let me know when you want a second set of eyes testing the features.

directories, only files. I've now created a file within the imagecache
directory so that it is stored alongside the rest of the source. I'm
still getting the hang of Mercurial so I apologise for the omission!
I'm not sure why you are having problems running the two version
concurrently. It only sends and receives control messages from MPD so
there should be no reason why you're not getting sound. I'm running
both 0.5.2 and the development trunk here without any issues. I'm also
not sure why coverart is not working for you under 0.5.2. Is the music
directory setting in the config file pointing at the right place?

is case sensitive. It seems the default for the Folder.jpg file is
capitalized (at least in dbpoweramp and eac).
I will dig deeper into why the swapping between the two versions cause
the play with no sound problem.It happens when i make play pause
changes quickly. It also seems to happen with MPC so it may be a
problem with the system. I'll rebuild it and see. It was not happening
before i startede exploring web control, I had been using Mpod and
Minion. Which version of MPD are you using? I'm running 0.15.5.

somehow related to Ampache and mysql. Removing both fixed that
problem. Something was interacting with Alsa.
On the iPod Touch the volume control doesn't work- it does on a
windows computer. Seems related to the touchscreen. When I touch and
drag the whole frame moves instead of the control. Also the cover art
worked before the latest update and now it isn't. It is working on the
older version. I made sure the config settings were right.
The details and graphics are getting much better.

Ampache might be causing it but it's good that you fixed it.
I was wondering about the volume control on the iPod touch. It's been
wholly developed on a desktop browser as I don't actually have one of
my own to test on so it's good to know whether it works or not. Is
there any chance you could make a video of what it does when you try
to use it?
And sorry about the config thing. I made a small change to the config
format, but also renamed the config file in the repo (I adding .dist)
so that it wouldn't overwrite existing configs for anybody that is
updating directly from it.

I have a video of the iPod touch showing what its doing. How do you
want me to provide it? Its about 8 MB.
The album art seems to be broken in the latest build. Its working in
the older one.

and we'll figure something else out.
I have made some modifications to the album art code, and to the
config file. Might be worth checking the config file.
Demian Martin
. The video isn't good but I hope you can see what you need. I think
the problem is that the iPod doesn't see the touch as connecting to
the volume cursor. It could be size or some other property. Please
delete the video when you have what you need.

iPod is trying to scroll when you drag, rather than operating the
volume control. I might have to look further into how to make it work
on the iPhone/iPod Touch; I think there's a Javascript API I might be
able to hook into. Might have to beg, borrow or steal an iPhone or
iPod touch to test with!
Demian Martin
sure how I can help (if you aren't local to me near San Francisco),
but I'll do what I can.
A separate question; I'm looking at installing Neompc on a server
instead of the player. it seems to work except for the cover art. I'm
not sure how that part works and if its possible to get the cover art
to work when neompc isn't local to mpd.

Sorry I've taken so long to get back to you. The best solution to your
cover art problem would likely be to mount the music filesystem from
the MPD server onto the server running NeoMPC using NFS.
You're right about iPhone development being hard when you haven't got
one! I have managed to have a play using a friends iPod touch though
so I know what the problem is. It's just going to be tricky to fix!
