Announce: Material Skin

[reinholdk]

After setting debug log for os.files and os.paths I get this in the server.log when using Material (obfuscated one folder name here):

[19-08-03 13:04:36.8375] Slim::Utils::OS::Win32::isDriveReady (476) Checking drive state for D:

For the default skin it's this:

Why would the first query have a double backslash? Are you browsing
folders using Material's own implementation or LMS provided browse modes?

That might be Material's fault. For the file-system API, I was replacing single backslash with double backslash. Can't remember why, so have remove this for the next release. Anyhow, surely it should not matter? I know with Linux at least, that "/home//user////folder' is the same as '/home/user/folder' Not sure about windows - I try to use that as little as possible

With Material I was browsing using "Musikordner", with Default skin using "Music Folder".

Yes, the double backslash is part of Material's request. And it doesn't matter for Windows as well. The double backslash is also present for the working folders.

0.9.4 Release

Main changes:

1. Fix detecting if an item is in favourites if its within a favorites folder.
2. Try to use material icons, and not LMS icons, for favourites entries.
3. Fix album not appearing in favourites, if it is the last item.
4. Don't hide 'Save to favourites' and 'Delete favourite' options from 'More' lists.
5. Fic pinned radio stations - will need to re-pin, as format changed.
6. Check whether "query_param" exists in "URI::http" before using. If not, then manually parse URI string.
7. Don't show ratings stars for streamed tracks (negative ID).

Switch Player Plugin?

Hello,
I wonder if the 'switch player' plugin will show on the material or classic skin? It is not showing in Squeezelite-x either.
I am asking because 'Podcasts' and 'Was lief da eben'-apps show in the apps section of the material skin. Switch Player to me is currently available only in the Squeeze CTRL-app...
I am on LMS 7.9.2.

Material has an inbuilt switch-player. There's an icon above the queue that has two arrows pointing in opposite directions. Pressing that will produce a dialog allowing you to select the player you wish to move the queue to.

Pressing that will produce a dialog allowing you to select the player you wish to move the queue to.

Thanks but the 'Switch Player'-plugin has the ability to take along the playlist and just keep on playing on the player you're moving to. This is the functionality I am looking for.

There is always the "Music Walk With Me" plugin which has the same functionality and works with material skin.

As stated many time, please run the skin with JSON debugging. Look in the console tab of your browser's developer tools. You should see lines such as:

[07:11:06] JSON PLAYER (00:01:02:03:04:05): {"power":1,"player_ip":"127.0.0.1:58104","playlist_cur_index":"0","playlist_timestamp":1564747862.82473,"digital_volume_control":1,"time":1.41557229614258,"signalstrength":0,"playlist shuffle":0,"player_connected":1,"seq_no":0,"playlist repeat":2,"rate":1,"playlist_tracks":3,"player_name":"Wibble","playlist_loop":[{"rating":"40","year":"1980","type":"mp3","tracknum":"1","duration":2.112,"title":"Hmm","playlist index":0,"album":"Wibble","album_id":"44271","genre":"Rock","artist":"Wobble","artist_ids":"86415","id":53227,"artist_id":"86415","bitrate":"128kbps CBR"}],"playlist mode":"off","mixer volume":21,"duration":2.112,"mode":"pause","can_seek":1}

...this is the status from LMS and details the curent track. These details are what are used to get biography, etc.

You should also see lines that have:

[07:11:18]  JSON REQ: ["",["musicartistinfo","biography","html:1","artist_id:86415"]]

...this is the request for biography info.

So, please load Material with debug, clear play queue, navigate in browse-view to desired track, clear console, play track, press 'i' button. Paste the relevant lines from the console window (as shown above) here. This should give me more info to work on.

Did someone give you a debug for this? If not the following gave me the bio of T Bone Walker - it does seem to occur quite frequently

PS I do have some T-Bone Walker tracks in my library which I guess is why he has an artist_id

EDIT I have done some more tests and that is the issue. Its the first artist_id that Material is working from and if the composer also exists as an album or track artist in your collection then they have an artist_id and come first.

Saw this post, so thought I would try out this plugin. When I selected/installed it, it seems to depend on two other plugins, "Title Switcher", and "TrackStat". I could not find its functionality either and when I looked back in the Settings|Plugins I see that "Title Switcher" fails to load. I have not looked further into it.

Pretty sure "Switch Player" should not depend on any other plugins. I used to have it installed but never had "Title Switcher" or "Trackstat".

Likewise. I’m sure it doesn’t. I used to use it but switched to Music, Walk with Me.
