[Web Interface Addon] AWX - Ajax based Web Interface Addon for XBMC

control missing play/pause button

Awesome interface!

The only thing I would request is the ability to get information on TV Shows and individual episodes as you have set in the movie section.

I must say, this is now my default interface. Excellent job.

THX for your replies!

With the current structure of the webinterface this is not possible. But maybe i will rewrite some code to support this. I added this to the ToDo-list.

ccMatrix Wrote:In Movies view I get a list of all my movies but none of them has a poster display (they all have one in XBMC). [...] same goes for Music where no cover art is displayed for the albums. Maybe this is still on your TODO?

Mental Block Wrote:For me the thumbs only seem to work through music artist. Maybe it is something to to with the amount of thumbs it is requesting?

Hm, covers should be displayed for albums, movies and tv shows. Maybe you have too many albums/movies/... so that the http-server has to work too hard so that image loadings fail. I added some code to load the thumbs one after another and maybe the first image-load fails so that no thumbs will be displayed.
Here is a patched js-file: http://www.mediafire.com/?ek15nhut7pn3ccs. Copy this file to the js-folder of the webinterface (replace the old file).
The new code will show a messagebox when image-loading fails and continues with the next thumb. If the messagebox is displayed we know that the thumb-loading fails and i can try to fix it

ccMatrix Wrote:The sort mode for Movies seems to be by date added. Maybe alphabetically would be a better default and maybe sort options?

You're right. Currently the movies are unsorted. I will change that.

ccMatrix Wrote:I have quite a few movies in my list. Maybe some fast filter option would be nice

This is a good idea. Added to ToDo-list

"A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script will complete.
Script: http://192.168.1.4:8080/js/jquery-1.4.2.min.js:74"
I can just hit "Continue" instead of "Stop Script" and it seems to go away, but it's a repeatable error every time I bring up the directory.

Hm, by now i have no idea Does this error happen with every directory you try to open? Do you have XBMC running on Windows or Linux? Does anyone have the same problem?

Mental Block Wrote:One suggestion I have would be able to only show Album Artists under artist view as currently I get all my artists on compilation albums showing up as well. Same as the option "Include artist who appear only on compilations" within XBMC.

I will see if i can do this using the XBMC-API.

Hm, there is a play/pause button ... at the top of the control-panel.

Yes, it's already on my ToDo-list. The problem is, that the XBMC-API does not have a method like "GetMovieInfo" or "GetTVShowInfo" like it was posted here. These methods are not yet implemented by the API. For movies i use some ugly code: Get all movies and pick the one with the correct id. For tv shows etc. i want to wait until these methods are implemented

oups sorry, i was thinking it was the "next" button

I got the covers to work if I changed all the download urls to always use vfs/URLENCODEDPATH

i.e.

albumDiv.find('.thumb').attr('original', '/vfs/' + encodeURI(album.thumbnail));

Ok, thx. Can you tell me how your thumbnail-urls look like?
Was the problem the missing "encodeURI(...)" or do your urls not start with "special://"?

not sure tbh but downloading thumbs should always go through the vfs node, and the thumburl should always be urlencoded. If the others worked its a fluke in the webserver

.

Ok, here is the new version: http://www.mediafire.com/?dc27tkx1bcaoopv

0.2.5:
- Added: Filter/Search-Button for albums/movies/tv shows
- Added: Button to clear the playlists
- Changed: Movies are sorted alphabetically
- Fixed: Thumbnail-URLs are not uri-encoded
- Fixed: Missing error-handler for thumbnails
- Fixed: Problems with context menus if using more than 1 menu-entry
- Fixed: Thumbnails which are visible after window-resize are not loaded until the user scrolls.

A great tool, it looks beautiful and is fast.

Searching by Files does not work (yet). Is this not yet implemented, or is there a fault on my side. I can open the first directory, but there is nothing in it. Only the .. (back button)

Thank you
