Yeah. I installed License Manager early on, and hit refresh and it
showed that it had a valid one month license (Already Licensed)
several times but no go. I just compared the numbers on your site and
my settings menu and they are the same. Still no go.

Did you install it on the Controller itself or just in your Squeezebox
Server ?
You need to install it on the Controller itself through
Settings/Advanced/Applet Installer menu.

Have you installed License Manager applet on your controller through
Settings/Advanced/Applet Installer menu ?
If not, you need to do that.

After it has been installed, try to goto Settings/Advanced/License
Manager menu and select the Refresh menu item and see if that helps.

If that still doesn't help, write down the account identity (40
character string) in Controller menu Settings/Advanced/License Manager
menu and verify that it's the same as the one shown on the web site
where you applied for the evaluation license.

 The settings can be reached in on your Controller/Touch/Radio in:
 Settings/Screen/Screensavers/Album Flow Settings

 The Browse Style setting is the one you are looking for if you like
 to change the My Music/Album Flow behavior.

Got it. Now I guess what's really needed is some sort of acceleration for
scrolling through a long list of album covers on the Controller. Can I put
that on the feature request list?

There are also similar settings available on the same place for 5

I've installed Album Flow and all I get is a blank screen on the Touch,
or sometimes one album cover. I've tried several configurations. Just
what is supposed to happen? When I touch the screen or press the right

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Album Flow applet/screensaver for Radio/Touch/Controller

2011-01-19 Thread rogered

I've been looking at the album art applet for a while now as a way of
getting a cover flow type interface onto music streamer. I've just
spent 3 hours trying to get it to work, and in desperation thought that
there might be a simple solution on this forum. 

I want to get the app running on SqueezePlay.  From the screenshots it
appears that this will work
(http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/Album_Flow_applet)

I followed the instructions on the applet page here
(http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/Album_Flow_applet) but could not
get the applet to show on the list.  

Next I tried a manual install of the applet by dropping it into the
Plugins directory as mentioned on the wiki.

Each time I check the list on the server and the applet does not
appear.

In addition I cannot seem to get Applet installation working from
Squeezeplay 7.5 or 7.4.

Does anyone have Album Flow working on Squeezeplay?  I love the idea of
this app and any/all help VERY much appreciated!

Cheers,
Roger

A new version of Album Flow is now available, the new features are:
- Added integration with Michael's Picture Gallery plugin
- Added full screen mode to make it possible to switch between larger
images
- Added support for changing the scrolling speed

If you install Michael's Picture Gallery plugin you will in this
version be able to select a Picture Gallery favorite which pictures you
like to slide through in screen saver mode. This is best used together
with the new Single style in Album Flow settings which only shows a
single image on the full screen.

2010-04-01 Thread bluegaspode

Hi erland

cool, coool, COOL update!

some suggestions:
- I'd like to have a new mode 'slideshow', like the flickr slideshow.
These lastfm images need to be fullscreen (at least on controller and
radio), there are too small when integrated into the other
sliding-animations.
- Currently they flow too fast. As these are images I don't know I need
some more time to watch them.
- I also use the Screen Switcher plugin. When configuring it (selecting
a screensafer for a slot), the Album Flow Screensafers turn up in random
order.
- It's a waste to have this only in the Album Flow Applet !
When I browse my library, I want to click the '+' key and get the
option 'On Last.Fm' (like the 'On Flickr' option, which unfortunately
not always has good results).

Did I say I LIKE it yet ?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Album Flow applet/screensaver for Radio/Touch/Controller

2010-03-31 Thread erland

There is now a new version of the Album Flow applet, the noticeable
changes are:
- Configuration has been changed so you can setup 5 different Album
Flow screen saver configurations
- Added support for the new Song Info plugin (available as beta)

Note!
Due to the changed configuration concept you will be forced to
reconfigure your screen saver if you have used Album Flow previously.

The Song Info plugin is an enhancement that adds a new CLI/JSON command
to the server that makes it possible to retrieve additional information
about a song, artist or album. The Album Flow applet uses this to get
images, for example artist images from the LastFM web site.

So with this new functionality you can now setup an Album Flow screen
saver that:
- Shows a slide show with artist images from your whole library
- Shows a slide show with artist images of artists similar to the one
that is currently playing
- Shows a slide show with artist images of the currently playing
artist

I'll post more information about the Song Info plugin in a separate
thread.

As usual for beta versions the Album Flow applet and Song Info plugin
is available through my testing repository:

Code:

http://erlandplugins.googlecode.com/svn/repository/trunk/testing.xml



It's easiest to install them through Applet Installer (Album Flow) and
through plugins tab in Squeezebox Server (Song Info).

My Radio and Touch have just been updated to r8353 and I've gone
through a very long-winded and unintuitive process to get all the custom
applets back (inc. not-recommended) on both devices (see the other
forum) and now the Album Flow item has disappeared from My Music menu
and there does not appear to be any way to get it back that I can find
(i.e it's not listed in Settings/Home Menu).

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Album Flow applet/screensaver for Radio/Touch/Controller

2010-01-15 Thread ModelCitizen

SBS 7.5 Windows nightlies.

I've just noticed that Album Flow has appeared in as an item in My
Music 
on my Radio. I'm not sure howe it got there or if it has been there a
while and I've only just got around to noticing it. It doesn't appear on
my Touch (and I can't sem to work out how to instll it).

Anyway, it is very nice and I was surprised how much I like seeing the
album covers (not ever having missed them when selecting music via the
Squeezebox interfaces).

Two questions/requests:

1) really like to browse backwards as well (i.e. from A to Z rather
than having to go form A to Z). Is this not possible?
2) Is there anyhting I can do to make the flow a bit smoother.

I have about 2k albums all with 300x300 pixel covers.

It has always been there on the Radio and Controller. It's not on the
Touch because I haven't figured out how to implement slide gestures
yet.
Please note that the Radio and Controller using 7.4 firmware will run
out of memory after a while due to a bug in the firmware, Logitech has
fixed it in the 7.5 version of the firmware which the Touch uses.

It's not possible yet, this is just a early prototype to show the
concept.

ModelCitizen;506566 Wrote:

It got slower on my Touch when I enabled TinySC. If you goto the
settings menu there are a number of different styles you can chose
among, some are faster than others.

 1) *Even*more impressive there due to larger screen, especially when
 set as a screensaver.
 
Yes, the screen saver mode on the Touch is pretty nice. Note that there
are several of them which is quite nice during Now Playing, for example
scrolling between all albums of the currently playing artist.

ModelCitizen;506566 Wrote: 
 
 2) I still think it needs to be a smoother flow though. It's definitely
 too jerky.
 
I haven't done much optimization yet, however, the problem is the CPU
or memory usage. I could cache more data but that would use too much
memory, I could let the server to more work but that would make it
really slow for people that run TinySC.

ModelCitizen;506566 Wrote: 
 
 3) I think I'd prefer a small (black, shadow, bevel etc) delineation
 between the covers. They appear confused when jammed up next to each
 other.
 
Everything I draw on the screen takes time, so I'm not sure it's a good
idea to add too much extras. I'd prefer to use that CPU power to get it
less jerky instead.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Album Flow applet/screensaver for Radio/Touch/Controller

2009-11-01 Thread erland

A new version of Album Flow is now available, the news are:

1. Only albums with artwork is shown in screen saver mode

2. It's now possible to select among a number of different screen saver
styles:
* Album Flow - default mode that shows all albums in library ordered by
title
* Album Flow (random) - Shows all albums in library in random order
* Album Flow (by artist) - Shows all albums in library ordered by
artist
* Album Flow (current year) - Shows all albums from the same year as
the currently playing album (in random order)
* Album Flow (current playlist) - Shows all albums in current playlist
(in random order)
* Album Flow (current artist) - Shows all albums in by same artist as
the currently playing album (in random order)
* Album Flow (current year) - Shows all albums in from same year as the
currently playing album (in random order)

3. It is now also possible to select among a number of different
sliding styles in Album Flow Settings

The out of memory reboot problems still exists and is caused by the
following bug in Touch/Radio/Controller firmware:
https://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=14836

If you like to avoid the reboot problem until this bug has been fixed,
I think selecting the Slide style in Album Flow Settings might work
correctly.

If you test this version, I'd appreciate to get comments on the new
screen saver and sliding styles and ideas on new styles you would like
to see.

Have you ever tried Moose?  There's some good cover art viewing modes in there, 
and and nice ways of selecting filters.

There is a way to show covers sorted by cover brightness or hue, which is quite

2009-09-28 Thread ModelCitizen

When I tested Album Flow it crashed my controller. Very soon after this
the controller ceased to work correctly. The power level began to
fluctuate wildly (according to batttery icon) whilst I was holding the
device and then the controller rebooted. Now, as soon as I take it out
of the charging cradle it just dies. I've swapped the battery and then
the cradle over with another controller and also tried
Settings/Advanced/Factory Reset but it's made no difference at all.

It seems impossible that Album Flow could have caused this but I
mention it here just in case but does anyone have any ideas what I
might do to try to recover it?

A new version of Album Flow (0.1.2789) is now available.

The changes are:
- Improved so it uses less resources (hopefully this solves the
crashes)
- Added default image which is shown until real album cover has been
loaded

It would be great if those of you who had crash problem in the previous
version checks if this works better or not. I don't have a large library
with cover art to verify it against myself.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Album Flow applet/screensaver for Radio/Touch/Controller

2009-09-27 Thread erland

A first beta version of the Album Flow applet and screensaver for
Squeezebox Controller/Touch/Radio is now ready for usage. It uses
similar principle as Apple Cover Flow on iPod or Mac to scroll through
all your albums. 

See the following wiki page for more information:
http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/Album_Flow_applet

NOTE!
SINCE THIS IS A BETA VERSION IT'S ONLY AVAILABLE IN MY TESTING
REPOSITORY SO YOU NEED TO SETUP THIS MANUALLY:

Code:

http://erlandplugins.googlecode.com/svn/repository/trunk/testing.xml




It's installed by going to Settings/Advanced/Applet Installer on the
Touch, Radio or Controller. In the Applet Installer you will find a
Album Flow applet which you need to install. 

To use it you either enter My Music/Album Flow or activate it as a
screen saver under the Settings menu on your Touch/Radio/Controller.
Please note that at the moment the My Music menu is only supported on
Controller and Radio (I haven't got the touch input to work yet, so
Squeezebox Touch only supports screen saver mode).

There are still a lot of things left before I like to consider this
finished, for example:
- Support for context menus
- Support for shown tracks on an album (currently the browse view only
supports to click play to start to play an album)
- Support for browsing using a Squeezebox Touch
- Improve the zooming/scrolling so it's perspective correct
- Improve performance, browsing is still a bit sluggish but screensaver
looks pretty good.

Some screen shots follows below, although they really don't do it
justice. It's still a bit sluggish but still it looks a lot more
impressive when it animates when used in reality.

Of course this is still just a beta version so it doesn't look as nice
as the Apple version yet.

Feedback or bug reports are very welcome

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Album Flow applet/screensaver for Radio/Touch/Controller

2009-09-27 Thread epoch1970

Do I have the 1st download ??

A very short test on my Controller, obviously. 

A few ideas:
- implement some acceleration when the dial has been rotated for a
while ? or use keys to jump at the beginning of a letter ?
- start by displaying the CD image as a placeholder, and fill that
with the image only when the CPU has enough time to do it. This is how
coverflow works, I think. (my Controller has rebooted when I was writing
this. Feeling exhausted after so much exercise, maybe :)
- could the front cover zoom to a larger size on the Controller ?
- what about a vertical bar on a side of the screen, with a cursor
showing the current position ?

That's a neat project. Congratulations.

Oops... after about 3 minutes running as Screensaver on the Touch, it
crashed the Touch.

Erland, do you know if there is already an open enhancement about
having to reinstall applets after every firmware update?

Now it just crashed the Touch again. I'm going to let it run one more
time to see if crashes on the same album...

Can you add random sorting to your list of to-dos?

I really like it !

Could you implement that it respects the configured album order ?
For the normal album list you can change it under
'Settings-Advanced-Albums Sort Methode' and I have it on 'Artist,
Year, Album'

What order do the albums rotate in - album sort name order?  Can it be 
configured?  I'd like random, I think, otherwise I'm never likely to see albums 
past albums beginning with A.

I've just tried this on a controller. It's great. Things I'd prefer
are:

* Larger artwork when it's right in front of you with more overlap
until then
* Smaller text with less gap between the two lines
* Smoother flow (it's a bit jerky for me)

Overall I'd like to see more artwork on my screen.

I'll definitely use this. I wish there was a setting on the controller
to *stop* the screen dimming when it was charging.

Oops, it just crashed my controller at least I assume it was
coverflow as my controller has never crashed before.

Yes, it's alphabetical by album name. I haven't seen any albums past A
because that's where it keeps crashing on me.

It's a great start, though. It will definitely become my off
screensaver on the Touch if the crashing gets sorted out.

An option to disable certain genres would be nice, so I don't have to
see all hubby's country crooners in the rotation.

I suspect the crashing might be caused by larger libraries than mine,
how many albums do you have ?

My touch has been running the screen saver slideshow for hours but it
only shows a 258 album library.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Album Flow applet/screensaver for Radio/Touch/Controller

2009-09-27 Thread bhaagensen

Very nice erland (again). I guess it could be an idea to have two
'modes'. One random when used as a screensaver. And another not-random
for use when browsing. 

In the latter case obviously some optimisation is needed in order to
make it more useful. Its probably never going to be as fast as say the
regular album browsing method. But things such as remembering where the
position in the list upon exiting/entering, perhaps switching into some
kind of letter-only mode when things go really fast etc. could be nice.


Anyway, its looking surprisingly good so far.

2200 albums.

My Controller seems to like rebooting when it's sitting idle and its
battery is low. I've updated to 7.4 yesterday, after MikeyG's
announcement, and I already rebooted 3 times, including the occurrence
after playing w/ Album Flow.
The reboot came well after I stopped playing with cover flow. 2 minutes
later maybe. I wasn't using the Controller.
