This is great! I would love the option to control and rate and stuff because there is no MusicBee remote app for my Windows Phone, but this would do fine.
This looks really good. How do I change the language?MB Preferences menu -> Plugins -> web controls -> Language
Appreciate the media controls but there's still some bugs. Controls only work sporadically and ratings don't work at all. Could it be because I changed my keyboard shortcuts in musicbee? keep up the good work though.
So how do I access my MusicBee via the smartphone? What address do I have to enter there in order to access this?
Rating and keybinds have nothing to do, I use api functions to change the ratings. Keep in mind that even if you change a rating you will not see it in musicbee interface until you change the current playing song (seems a bug with "now playing" interface in musicbee)call MB_RefreshPanels() to make MB refresh the GUI with new values
Hi. I am really liking this for the search and download function. Unfortunately search doesn't seem to do anything and download always downloads the same file regarldess of the one I pick.
Heya kogash,
I asked about people writing a web API in another thread and Steven mentioned that you were writing a web app at least. I just installed it and look pretty sweet sofar :).
If you're fine with the way things are on your end, I can only wish you good luck. But if you've run into problems or if you need features and are unsure how to get them in your web app, drop me a line, perhaps we can help each other out.I have a quite experience in doing that kind of stuff but i will count on you, more so if you want the source of my current app ask for it! If I can be of any help, count on me too
One thing I'm doing differently is I noticed you poll the server for updates, which makes your app respond with a small delay to what others are doing. I've chosen the slightly more complex route of long polling for events, but the JavaScript side of things is surprisingly simple, all the complexity is in my plugin.
Another thing that's different is that you seem to have decided on making a somewhat REST-like custom web API, tailored for your app and to allow customization on the level of "skinning"I chose Rest-like api just because it was the faster option to implement. The assembly has a VERY simple http server and my needs are so simple so rest was the obvious choose. Something more complicated such as soap or xml-rpc was too much for a quick hack :D
(though web stuff gives skinners more flexibility than just skins). I've decided to follow the conventions of Steve's .Net API, basically exposing every function as close as possible to the original as a web service.
Meanwhile, I'll continue work on my plugin - once I get to say 90% of API functionality, I'll post a version for people to give a whirl.

Uploading Version 0.3.3 to solve those issues!

I thought about implementing a comet message passing, even more, I have part of the code commented on the assembly. But as you can read from my first post it all started as a quick hack for a news year party, long polling was totally out of scope :D
Great for maintenance, but maybe it's not a good idea to mimic the full as is on a web service. Take in account that there are a lot of functions that are dangerous to expose or require input validation before allowing it to go to music bee... even more some functions assume that you are working in .net as the getartwork ones where you receive a base64 encoded bitmap... not so practical for web uses.
Even more if do you want we can collaborate on that project and make mine an "example implementation" of the web api.
Thinking about making a portrait friendly skin
Well, if you're willing to do some beta testing, that would be a major help already. And if by the end of that you still feel it's a good idea to move your app over to my API, that'd be great.
I didn't have too much trouble with the base64 encoded images - I actually kinda liked the speed of it, so I'm a bit miffed that Steve is now considering dropping it :(.
But I do agree that some of the functions don't make all that much sense in a web service, whereas others would require some security.
For now, I don't want to have to implement authentication or anything of the sort, so the web service should be maximally useful, with a minimum of risk - meanwhile staying as close to the original as possible.
Out of curiosity, what do you use for a web server in your plugin? I picked a fairly decent embedded web server by the name of HybridDSP.Net HTTPServer, curious to hear what you're hosting your application in, or what you're embedding.
I tried the new 0.3.3 and the search seems to do still nothing (Firefox 17.0.1). Does this function need some special webserver permissions? Or do I have to do more than enter a search word and pressing Enter?Hi. I am really liking this for the search and download function.

After updating try to refresh the page pressing control + f5. On both now playing and search pages...
In case it works as inspiration or safety ideas i share with you this link: http://www.addictivetips.com/android/retune-allows-remote-control-of-itunes-playback-from-android/
After updating try to refresh the page pressing control + f5. On both now playing and search pages...Bingo! The strange thing is, on the search pages I have to do this every first time after reopening firefox...

Hi, I registered on the forum because I created an Italian translation and I wanted to send it to you:Point of information: the person maintaining this plugin hasn't appeared on the forum for about two years.
www.mediafire.com/file/anusissg7asbqb6/Italian.xml/file
Link for plugin Mobile Web 1.0 is broken
Point of information: the person maintaining this plugin hasn't appeared on the forum for about two years.
Is there a way we can mark defunct plugins on the plugin page? Boroda uploaded several like this, which I guess had an active link at the time, but hasn't been maintainedNot that I can see
Surely as Administrator (Steven) or Moderators (psychoadept and phred) you can edit a post? If so, could you not put a bold message at the top of the first post of such topics to say that this is now non-operational and not being supported?
If this is not possible, how about creating a new section within MusicBee & Add-Ons called Defunct Plugins (Unsupported) or some such and move affected posts/threads there just like the Mods do with misplaced posts in other threads? Criteria could be no log-in from originator for 12 months+ or repeated complaints of broken links? If the originator is still out there and takes exception, they'd pretty soon get in touch! Same could be applied to any of the subject sections.
Just a a thought?
