Announce: Material Skin

[slartibartfast]

thanks for double responding - I appreciate having the options! I actually meant the first version, Material's player screen (just want a quick way to get to the sleep timer for a player).

You can get to the sleep timer by long pressing pause in the Now Playing screen.

That's very cool.

Sorry for asking, but is there a few lines for actions.json that will add the player settings?

Glad y'all having fun with this. Another useful addition for PcP users is this one:

 "title":"PcP Status",
      "iframe":"http://<yourLMSserver>/cgi-bin/about.cgi",
      "locked":true,
      "icon":"speaker_group",

(shows the status screen of all your PcP Pi's.)

If you create actions.json with the following, then you will get 'Server settings' in the main menu:

{
  "system":[
    {
      "title":"Server settings",
      "script":"bus.$emit('dlg.open', 'iframe', '/material/settings/server/basic.html', 'Server settings')",
      "icon":"dns"
    }
  ]
}

Might need to refresh your browser's cache (hard reload?). Also, ensure the file is 100% valid JSON - check via https://duckduckgo.com/?q=json+parser&t=h_&ia=answer

I've tried this on a windows server, placing the actions.json file in:

C:\ProgramData\Squeezebox\prefs\material-skin\

...and can't get it to work. I've verified the json code at the duckduck verifier, all good, refreshed browser/cleared cache etc but no joy.

Am I placing the file in the correct place or is it possible there's an issue with this on a windows server?

Whaaaaat? Mind blown.

Thanks slartibartfast, and thanks Craig for making Material Skin so great.

I've noticed recently that closing a full screen cover image in desktop mode causes the browse menu to bounce up a level. I can't say if this has always been a thing but it is happening on any devices I use (desktop web browser (clean cache), 'nativefied' electron app on macos, android apk). Could this be down to my server setup or has it been observed before?

You can long-press on the power button - if it is shown in the toolbar instead of player icon.

Confirmed, will try to fix for next release.

I was using the power button on the toolbar until I accidentally turned off my player when I missed the back button

If you are using the APK, you can use android's back button to go back. Also, pressing the 'Browse' button whilst in browse will go back - likewise long-press there will go 'home'

I had a similar issue yesterday evening. I am on Windows 10. Have you tried a web browser in Windows to access Material? For me that notes the changes quicker than through Squeezelite-X or via Android. You can at least see that things are working.
