[meowmoo]

Prerequisites:

* Music Jukebox (http://www.networkedmediatank.com/showth...tid=12057)
* Music Player Daemon (http://www.networkedmediatank.com/showth...tid=17306)
(included since 1.2) and the latest cgi files from jazzlightbeer, If you have Problems with the cgi files, it's also a good Thread
http://www.networkedmediatank.com/showth...?tid=21540




The Title have it's own frame and can be disabled, so basically you can set as many albums per page as you want (7x3 with 140px size)

10 cd's 5 Row's 90px cover size

5 cd's 2 Rows's 200px cover size
http://i39.tinypic.com/97u1vr.jpg

Multi CD page, at the moment queue all songs from cd 1 for example don't work, you can only queue all songs from all cds or open the cd detail page an hit play all :>


Details page
The First Play Button ( <- )add the song as next song
The second Play Button (-> ) add the song to the end of the playlist


New Detail page (1.2.3)
you have to turn on the Read Extra Tags Option in the Music jukebox Tag tab ! to get all the info and also set the option to true in the meow-options.xsl (it will slow down the Prozes to generate the Jukebox and also Slow down the song browsing on the detail page, I try to figure out how to slove this....) Info bar can also set to the bottom.



Now Playing page



Commands:
*Enter - Enter/add/select song's
* Play - toggles play/pause
* Stop - stops player
* Next - plays next song in queue
* Prev - plays previous song in queue
* Delete - clears playlist
* Repeat - toggles repeat
* Setup - updates MPD database
* PgUp - page up
* PgDn - page down
* Home - navigate one level up
* Red - (main page) adds album to end of queue
* Green - (main/album/playlist control/search) Show playlist, (playlist) Shuffle playlist
* Yellow - Playlist control
* Blue - toggles random
* Left icon adds song to head of queue
* Right icon adds song to tail of queue
* Info - shows Now Playing page (toggles lyrics on Now Playing page)

back button go's back to last page, (DON'T work on playlist page, use the home button!) the problem is if you add a song to the playlist its like loading a new page and you have to go back every song you add ( if you add 5 songs from a cd you have to press back 6 times till you are back on the index...the home button also bring you back to the index, but to index_main1.htm....)

I'm still learning so there are for sure some bugs
Download
Copy the mpdmod-meow folder to your .../musicjukebox/skin folder,
* configure path to Music Jukebox Menu folder in config.xslt
* configure path to music folder in config.xslt
* take a look in the meow-options.xls file

run Musicjukebox with delete all html files "on"
if you already use an old version of this skin, change to another skin in MJ and than change back, so the new Files get copy over to the Jukebox

copy all .cgi files to the music Jukebox Folder on the NMT, make a backup from the original one, if you have one...
* make sure files are executable (chmod a+x *cgi)

make sure you change all this paths in all cgi files to the right one

Code:

# Path to expr and grep
# note: grep must support the -m option
PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin:.

# Path to music library
LIBRARY_PATH=/share/Music

# Path to lyrics folder - defaults to album folder when undefined
#LYRICS_PATH=/share/Apps/MusicJukebox

# Path to fanart folder
FANART_PATH=/share/Music/!fanart

Big Thanks To, excal, for all his work and hints, most code I use is stolen from one of his projects
Also Thanks to mhut, he did an awesome job on the Now Playing page !

Hi, looks nice this mod, even if (as you know) the mpdmod it´s not working full for me, i´ll try your skin, i like it.
Thanks, regards.

How did you make the "trick" on the Marilyn Manson screen ?? I suppose it´s related to the folder structure of the album, it´s displayed on the main index as a unique album ???

---

Hi again. It seems not working for me when trying to play files, it shows "The request cannot be processed" message when pressing play. Don´t know what´s wrong, i´ve generated jukebox from scratch and also rebooted the device...

[RiChaDo]

[werner]

Yes the Manson CD is one album if you click on it you see this screen, just name your Multi cd's like this

Album/CD_1_Name
......./CD_2_Name2

hm, did you copy the cgi files back to the jukebox?
I think Play only start a song if there is already one in the playlist, have you tryed adding some songs?

[mhut]

The .cgi files i was using before it was the last version from jazzlightbeer. I´ve tried adding files, pressing Enter on play all, pressing play....
Thanks for the tip on the multiCD albums.

Hello,

Very good, i tried it and and have a few remarks:

index_main.htm:

Code:

<table width="100%" border="0">
            <tr>
              <td align="center">
                <a href="Jazz-Soul_Alceu_Valenca_-_Millennium.htm" name="album1" onfocus="enablePlay('http://localhost.drives:8883/HARD_DISK/Apps/JUKEBOXES/Musicjukebox_meow/mpc_wrapper.cgi?action=addtail%26item=Jazz-Soul/Alceu%20Valenca%20-%20Millennium%26referrer=index_main.htm%26name=album1');">
                  <img border="0" id="IMG1" src="P:\Apps\JUKEBOXES\MusicJukebox_meow\Jazz-Soul_Alceu_Valenca_-_Millennium_small.jpg" onmouseover="enablePlay('http://localhost.drives:8883/HARD_DISK/Apps/JUKEBOXES/Musicjukebox_meow/mpc_wrapper.cgi?action=addtail%26item=Jazz-Soul/Alceu%20Valenca%20-%20Millennium%26referrer=index_main.htm%26name=album1');" />
                </a>
              </td>

            </tr>
            <tr>
              <td class="styleAlbumInfo" align="center">Alceu Valenca</td>
            </tr>
            <tr>
              <td class="styleAlbumInfo" align="center">Millennium</td>
            </tr>
          </table>

I don't understand why the image source isn't a popcorn link but a windows link:

Code:

src="P:\Apps\JUKEBOXES\MusicJukebox_meow\Jazz-Soul_Alceu_Valenca_-_Millennium_small.jpg"

index_main.htm

Is it possible to have CD covers centered whereas CD+text centered verticaly. In fact, sometimes the test (artiste name, album name) are on 3 lines and the covers are not centered each.

thanks
Alex

ups... you have to edit the menu_dir in the config.xslt, found in the mpdmod-meow folder...

i think you set the Pocorn Hour Path to menu in MusicJukebox wrong

not sure on this one, you get 3 lines on long artist album titel's ?
I set max Title Length to 25 and have no problems

Thanks, it works now, but only on normal/one CD album. I notice a few things. I renamed the multicds as you´ve said, and the page is displayed ok (like yours), but pressing the "Play All" button seems to do nothing or it´s not working. Clicking on the name of the cd goes to the cd playlist but pressing play all or adding songs to the queue it´s not working. Also, focusing the tiny Cd Icon on each album and pressing Enter on the remote it launchs the default music player device and not the mpd. At last, when picking the "display shuffle mode" it seems the image it´s not well linked or missed, because on screen it´s only displayed a small yellow square (On multi cd album screen) or directly not displayed anything (on normal cd album).

Nice work Meowmoo, thank you very much. I noticed a couple of problems.

1. I press the green button on the remote to go to the playlist page, but on this page, the background image that is loaded is the old default one. It has a blue background, etc.

2. Same problem on the "now playing" page after pressing Info button. The background is the old blue one from MJBox, instead of one of the new ones that you are providing.

Two of your xslt files list.xslt and playlist.xslt refer to defaultskin.css. I thought that might be the problem, and changed them both to meow.css. After re-creating the menus, the problem persists. So, it is not getting the right background image.

However, on the Now Playing page, the fan art image gets loaded correctly, if it exists in the album folder. So, I could not tell if it is an issue with your XSLT files, or with the MPDMOD skin.

Thanks for your help.

[meowmoo]

@ 6p14pev I think its a cache problem, try deleting the cache or reboot and it should be replaced by the new one
I also change the defaultskin.css in the two missing files, I don't use them so I dont even take a look at them....but it's on the do to...

@ mhut i fixed the Play all in the CD page, it now adds all cd's to the playlist, when I select a CD and than Select play All it work also. only the CD icon play button don't work at the moment i take a look at it tomorrow

Sorry to bother you again meowmoo. Clearing the cache solved the problem with the background images.

However, in both Playlist page and "Now Playing" page, the text is all black and cannot be seen. Cover art is visible, as are the symbols that indicate which song is playing, etc.

It is probably a simple fix, and if you can point me to the files to change, I would much appreciate it.

Thanks for your fine work.

[meowmoo]

this could be because of the missing default.css.....

just copy the meow.css and rename it to default.css so you have both in the jukeboxfolder. I will include it in the next update :/

[mhut]

Hi. Downloaded the last version of the files and still is not working for me on multicd.

I noticed also that some normal cd albums are not working, some others yes.
