Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Re: Random Play and continuous
Quoting Craig [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Would it be possible to add continuous play to the Album and Artist modes so that it plays one random album or artist after another? possible: http://www.deane-freeman.com/slimserver/beta/Random.pm one current issue that I haven't bothered to trap, yet, is that it will not work with single-track albums or single-track artists. I'll be fixing that when I get another block of time. I think I'll add a few other modes for disabling. Currently, most changes to the playlist will cause the continuous mode to stop. I'm thinking of a mode where only power-off/stop disables, and another that is only a manual disable (continually cycling from where you left off until you turn off the cyclic mode or shut off from the plugin menu). After that, I expect I'll wrap it up and ship it :) -kdf ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

Sounds like a bad edit of the file so that the number of { doesn't
match the number of }?

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Re: Random Play and continuous
Hi KDF, Those changes seem to work fine if you start playback from the menu however if you start playback from a defined remote control key (as you explained in another thread) they don't work, I expanded your instructions and added some code to allow a button to start Album or Artist play too. If you jump in with the Play tracks command then the new FF RWD functions don't work and if you jump into Album or Artist Play then there's no cycling. I cannot see any difference in the debug output between starting play from the menu or from a hotkey Craig -- Craig ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

Quoting Patrick Dixon [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
I've stared it it for ages and I just can see it - can you?
$menu-refresh();
$refreshing{$client} = 0;
it is complaining about %refreshing not being a declared variable, so you can't
use $refreshing{$client}, without a my %refreshing hanging out somewhere in
that module. Maybe my copy isn't up to date, but I don't see it anywhere.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Re: Random Play and continuous
Hi KDF,
You made changes so that pressing fwd on the remote played the next
random track and added a new one to the list whereas before it would
break the cycle and play the playlist to the end. It's this doesn't
seem to work if you use the custom map to start playback.
My changes were just an expansion of your suggestion of
'tracks' = sub {
my $client = shift;
playRandom($client,'track');
},
in the initplugin section.
I added
'artists' = sub {
my $client = shift;
playRandom($client,'artist');
},
'albums' = sub {
my $client = shift;
playRandom($client,'album');
}
and then added
7.hold = modefunction_PLUGIN.Random-tracks
8.hold = modefunction_PLUGIN.Random-albums
9.hold = modefunction_PLUGIN.Random-artists
to custom.map

It's this doesn't seem to work if you use the custom map to start playback. seems to be working for me, but I'll add some more debug lines so you can get a better picture of what is happening for you. Album and Artist cycling is not going to happen on a track-by-track basis, as it is just too hard to keep track of when to start adding from a new album or not. Instead, it will delete the completed track and only add another random artist/album when the track count is down to 1. Again, this does not work if the album or artist has only one track, and I can't be sure that it will work if you FWD on the last track :) The only thing I can think of as to why FWD/REW might be stopping teh track cycling is if you are in some other mode that has these defined as a function other than 'playlist jump +/- 1'. The plugin is unable to monitor buttons, only the resulting function as reported by the command callback. I'll post an updated Beta for the morning. -kdf ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

Hi KDF, It's late here and I'm confusing myself now!!! Do those changes of mine look ok to you? I'm just thinking that there's some difference between starting play using the mapped key and using the menus and actually pressing play. I'll wait for the update and try and figure out whats happening. Then again it could just be me sticking my text editor where it's not wanted :-) Thanks for all your efforts Craig -- Craig ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

Yes, there is. Pressing play from within the plugin happens only once. Pressing and holding from elsewhere can end up being repeated. These repeat calls appear to be causing an overlapping callback that cancels itself out. Then, it seems that refreshing the web interface can send unwanted commands...etc etc. -kdf ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
