That's great


Material also now includes an option to launch its expanded now playing view via

Thnx for update!

I have updated this to HTML5 and it is now responsive so should now work across a wide range of mobile devices as well.

The HTML has also been greatly simplified and tidied up.

The nomouse tweak is not included in this code, however it can be added easily enough if desired.

Download responsive-now-playing.txt and rename it to responsive-now-playing.html and copy it to your Squeezeserver as instructed in above post(s).

Then it can be accessed as before by visiting http://<YOUR SQUEEZESERVER IP ADDRESS>:9000/html/SqueezeJS/responsive-now-playing.html

Have been using a variation of this "Now Playing" browser screen for some time and finally got it working the way I want.



If you'd like to use it, do the following on the machine running LMS:

1. Download nowplaying.txt, rename it to nowplaying.html, and put it in \Squeezebox\server\HTML\EN\html\SqueezeJS folder (or equivalent)
2. Download ("download it now" link > right-click & save) mousetrap.min.js from https://craig.is/killing/mice and put it in \Squeezebox\server\HTML\EN\html\ext folder (or equivalent)
3. Restart server and enter the following URL in your browser:
http://SERVER_IP:9000/html/SqueezeJS/nowplaying.html -> Use your own SERVER_IP

Your keyboard spacebar and arrow keys control volume and playback. Looks best on widescreen monitor, but works on any.

Note that if you update your LMS, you will need to go through these steps again.

Many thanks, Michael! I thought I had searched that page of Information, but obviously not well enough! Thanks again.

Checking Settings/Information might have given you some good pointers :-)

I DID ask this question several posts (years!) back too, and got no answer: anyone?:

"Can anybody tell me the installation directory for a Mac running LogitechMediaServer (7.9.1) please? "

I think this is the original files

Dusting this thread off... does anyone have the original file? The original link is dead.

It works OK now!

Thanks again.

[MillmoorRon]

Thanks.

Can't believe that nobody has noticed this before

Ok, looked into this a bit more. You might actually have hit a bug which
must have been there for years. I'm sorry about that :-).

Should be fixed in the next nightly builds. And there's no need for the
onPlaylistChange handler...

It didn't

I still don't understand why changing shuffle updates shuffle and repeat, but changing repeat update neither!

Any other suggestions?
