netjukebox

hi willam,

I think it would be cool if NJB would allow using SQLite as database engine (as found in PHP5). This would save about half of NJB installation efforts; management apps (phpMyAdmin-like) for this DB are being developed.

cool, I'm happy to hear this

you can try the WMP8/9/10, it will automatically download track info from the web, rename your files and put them into the %artist%/%album% folder, also download the cover when avaiable (not as good as a scan, but OK for the netjukebox). The WMP isn't very user-friendly though (it needs at least 3x ...

With Apache2 I don't get the FLAC errors anymore (but they occur with IIS5.1), but the foobar problem is stilll there (try streaming whole album in FLAC, it takes quite long).

The PC of my little sister is pretty old and MP3 decoding takes 50% of CPU so one can hardly use it for anything else while ...

hi, I'm trying to make NJB stream to FLAC, having some success but also problems. My settings are:
$cfg['mime_type']['flac'] = 'application/x-flac';
$cfg['stream_extension'][] = 'flac';
$cfg['stream_codec'][] = 'FLAC';
$cfg['stream_encode'][] = 'D:\bin\codec\flac.exe --tag=TITLE=%title --tag=ARTIST ...

hm, and there's no newer (3rd party?) browser for the device?

Well, the only difference should be that IE4 doesn't stick the menu div (ignoring the position attribute). Isn't the worst thing on such letter-sized display IMO.

I guess no, but IE4 is pretty damn old...

hm, iframe in a div sounds good. You can use position:fixed and for IE you can fake it like this: http://tagsoup.com/-dev/null-/css/fixed/top/0-0-0

but wouldn't this mean that the menu isn't sticky anymore? (user must scroll up to see the menu)

not bad, this is what I've done of it (some of the code is unused):

you can disable compression by ini_set("zlib.output_compression", "Off"); before any HTML output. But I still have problems after that (the output isn't zipped, but there's buffering going on somewhere, although it's turned off in PHP.ini and IIS). The idea of client-side tooltip generation is good ...

well, for differences between XHTML and HTML see here: W3C
XHTML alone is maybe not worth the effort of porting to, but since I was CSSing the pages, I also switched to it.

For CSS editing I use Dreamweaver because of the nice integrated reference. I used no books here, just google and the W3C ...

I have no DRM in my files, I'll try switching winamp to the decoder later

Well, selecting the profile first is more clicking than necessary, especially when trying to stream in formats where you aren't sure whether they'll work (like ogg vorbis that doesn't play on the iTunes on my GF's iBook).

I ...

I only have mp3 and wma lossless here, the last one freezes winamp after moving the slider and the WMP10 doesn't allow sliding forward with streamed WMAL at all.

Hm, a view3 page with 31 songs and 6 streaming options is about 75kB of HTML (with lightweight-modded browse.php (XHTML, less tables ...

hi, with the IIS 5.1 running on winXP here, range requests fail (the playback starts from the beginning) while they succeed on Apache2. Any quick fix for this? (otherwise I'd modify stream.php to use Apache2 for direct streaming and downloads)

Btw, I've got the select-bitrate-per-tooltip thing ...
