When the split-scanner branch was merged in a couple of weeks ago, the url formatting changed. look for things like artist=, which now needs to be contributor.id=, album= becomes album.id= check http://svn.slimdevices.com/trunk/server/HTML/ for the archive of changes. Most of the skin fixes were done between 7620 (branch merge) and 7800. Most skins can take advantage of hreftemplate and cmdwrappers to avoid this kind of breakage with 6.5 and up. However, skins that rely so much on javascript/ajax/flash might have to play a few tricks to get the most out of those core templates. -k -- kdf kdf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=23354 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Re: Dedicated skin for Dell Axim x51v
Hi shawkie, I just installed your new version of Borg on my x51v. I'm having problems with most of the functions (read: don't work). I hit the house at the top left, and I get a display of 9 icons with names. If I tap on any icon link, the word Browse! under the house icon changes very quickly to Browse? then back to Browse!. Unfortunately, nothing happens after that. I've tried tapping on the links for every icon in the home page, but nothing happens. Now, if I tap on the notes icon (to the right of the house icon), I do get a page with volume settings, repeat, etc., along with the song info currently playing. Maybe there's something different about my SlimServer setup that prevents you main page from functioning? I have 2 Squeezeboxes; maybe that results in some confusion? SlimServer is running on WinXP Pro, with my songs on a ReadyNAS X6 attached to my network. I really hope you continue developing the Borg; I like it a lot :) -- Omen Omen's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3327 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=23354 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Re: Dedicated skin for Dell Axim x51v
Okay. The way the text works is it says Browse? when its waiting for a request to complete. Then when it gets a response it changes to Browse! as it starts to process it. Then when it finishes processing it goes to Browse. If its getting stuck on Browse! then most likely the function that processes the request is encountering an error. This in turn probably means there is a problem with the response from the server. I can think of two likely reasons: 1) You are using a different version of Slimserver and something is behaving differently. What version are you using? 2) Either the client or the server is providing cached data to the javascript code. The new improvements are supposed to let this happen for improved performance but I suspect that you have data from the old version being cached and this is not compatible with the new javascript. I'm not entirely sure how best to sort this. I get the impression that on my x51v the cache is invalidated when you restart IE but possibly a soft reset might help. Also try clearing the cache in the SlimServer directory on the server. Let me know how you get on. -- shawkie shawkie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3751 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=23354 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Re: Dedicated skin for Dell Axim x51v
shawkie, I now understand what the different terms Browse? Browse! and Browse mean. 1) I'm running SlimServer Version: 6.3.0 - 8020 - Windows XP - EN - cp1252 (one of the latest 6.3.0 betas). 2) I've tried a soft reset on the x51v, but that didn't make any difference as far as the operation of Borg goes. I've cleared the server cache several times while working on the missing playlists bug, so that doesn't seem to help either. 3) I'll have SlimServer forget the 2nd player and let you know what happens. I really like your skin, and I want to get it to work for me.

This is a minor update. Just a few performance tweaks for the browse functions.

Okay. For the time being my skin will be known as Borg on account of my stubborn refusual to support anything other than IE :-). I've got most of the bits I really care about working now (i.e. browsing, now playing, current playlist). I still have to do internet radio, search and settings and some other stuff. As with the last version it really works best in full screen mode, default layout, medium zoom on IE on Windows Mobile 5.0. Also, make sure you let the page has loaded before you try clicking on anything.

I still have shedloads to do but in case anyone is interested I'm uploading an early (I haven't even named it yet) version of my new skin. Now playing is working and so is Browse artwork. Everything else is pretty badly broken. If you have a PocketPC running Windows Mobile 5.0 then I recommend using IE in Full Screen mode with Default layout and Medium zoom. Failing that it does work on IE 6.0 on Windows XP (it doesn't really look right but you get the idea how it works).

[slim] Re: Dedicated skin for Dell Axim x51v
I've started working on a skin. I normally develop desktop applications so I'm finding this web development thing a bit of a steep learning curve. It looks like the biggest problem is the way IE Mobile screws around with images. Its possible to get the images to come out right but you have to know how many pixels they are and then halve it! I've managed to write a simple Now playing page which uses AJAX requests to update the current song title every 5 seconds. I've got a long way to go but its a start. I think this device could make a really good remote because of the big high-res screen, fullscreen browser, javascript/ajax support, 4-way direction pad. My only real concern is battery life. -- shawkie shawkie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3751 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=23354 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
