Do you see this line in your mediaportal.log file:
29/07/2006 7:24:02 PM Load plugins from lugins\process\WebPlaylistManager.dll

Any exceptions logged in mediaportal.log or mediaportal\plugins\process\log.txt?

GREAT plugin. Just what I was missing, and I didn't even know it

Some skinning could be great, but as is work great.

One question: Is it technicaly possible to have a "drop area" on the compiled webpage, and have MP recieve a music file from the client? This would be awsome..

I've been playing around with the HTML code a bit and have changed the look of the plugin. It looks like this right now....

I just used simple 'colors' not matching any skin. But I haven't used very much images also. So the colors will be easy to alter from the css file. If the plugin was written in PHP I could have been a lot more creative, with Ajax for example. I don't have any knowledge ASP or C#. I understand what it says based on my PHP programming experience, but haven't touched the scripting in Default.aspx very much.
If anyone is interested in the files I'll post them as a preview. I'm not finished yet. I'm using a <marquee> i.a. which I realy don't like. When I find the time I'll do some DHTMLling to make thinks look more fancy.
Too bad Mozilla doesn't support Stylesheets for scrollbars, as you can see, I'm looking for the best crossbrowser way to write a DHTML scrollbar.
Also....somehow Internet Explorer doesn't seem to like "overflow-x: hidden;" in a DIV. It simply doesn't seem to work. I'll try to figure that out to. It meeses up the layout a bit from time to time....

Some things I've noticed....
- It seems like the stop button needs to be pressed twice to fully execute the stop command.
- skipping to the next song doesn't work
- Mediaportal crashes completely roughly one out of four times when the page is being loaded or refreshed. Haven't been able te track the bug as it seams to apear kind of random.
- It would realy be fantastic if the functionality Ajax offers could be used. It's much cleaner and more efficient. Also, scrolled parts of the page wouldn't be scrolled to top when using a link.
- The "Back" button in the "Browse-part" is gone somehow. I didn't delete anything to do that. Can't figure out where it's gone... Any tips....?

Some nice extra features would be (if at all possible)...
* Volume control
* FF en RWD
* Statusbar
* Tracklenght displayed (in playlist and realtime, realtime could be faked if the server sends a signal when a new song has started).

Again, Ajax would be great because a statusbar en volumecontrol could be realized without having to refresh the page. I could write a DHTML slider that ajusts the volume "onChange" without refreshing. Possebly I'm suggesting things you already thought of

I'd love to help developing where possible.

Screenshot doesnt work for me...

It works fine from here. I'll upload it somewhere else.

edit: Done...

is that image from a members-only forum? maybe it isnt liking me not being a member? or it is plain network troubles since it appears to timeout on loading the image....no 404 or auth denied....

 

[Bram]

If you can visit www.kraak-forum.nl you should be able to view the image. If not...it might be related to the DNS server of your internet provider.

I forgot to mention. When browsing music, everything is displayed in the opposit order from what you'd expect..... starts with Z and ends with A....

I'd also like to ad a incremental number in front of every song in the playlist. I can do this in PHP in 30 seconds, but I can't get it to work in ASP. Any tips?
Possebly albumart could be added to the possebilities also?
