Hi,
I've made some mods to the wonderful ACX/Orion WebUI used in the Volumio14 distro that may be of interest to DIY types. Search the source files for comment lines with the string "TC (Tim Curtis)" to examine the new and modified code. Release notes are below.
More information including player screen shots, diy instructions and downloads are located at the web site listed below. The code is covered under the GPL so feel free to use it in any way
Enjoy these mods!

Good to see your enthusiasm and passion for this project !
The audio information pop-up is an interesting addition and I like that you are thinking a time frame that includes ongoing development..
The bit depth misreporting would be good to have fixed.
If I may suggest a simple addition as a humble user... A timed power down option. Would be useful for those late night nod-offs listening to webradio.

Hi,
I'll investigate your feature suggestion.
There happens to be a "worker" module which is part of the server side of the Player that wakes up every 5 seconds to check for requests in its work queue to act on. It already handles user directed reboot and power down as well as the new theme change requests
Since it's command list can be extended, your feature may be possible, but as you know nothing is as simple as it seems when it comes to modding software!

Hi,
Beginning to work on some of the "Up Next" items for release 1.1
I've just finished fixing the Library parsing bug This is where if a song title contains a colon character ":" everything after the colon gets truncated. It affects song title display in the Library, Playback and Playlist panels! BTW, song titles with a colon are commonly found in the Classical genre. In the example song titles below, the parsing bug would cause only "Szymanowski" to be displayed.
Szymanowski: Mazurka In G Flat, Op. 50/1
Szymanowski: Mazurka In E Minor, Op. 50/2
The screen shots below show the Library panel before and after the bug fix.

Hi,
Just an fyi regarding what items from the Up Next list I'm working on, in no particular order.
1) investigate odd bit depths being reported by MPD
3) fix some issues with layout, text wrapping and btn size
8) investigate save/load/delete custom playlists (fix up and complete this feature)
Regards,
Tim

Hi,
WRT odd bit depths being reported by MPD, I posted a few questions along with the table below to the MPD help forum.
The table data suggests that MPD is defaulting MP3 stream input to 24 bit but I'm not sure what is going on with the 16 bit WAV file (a CD track rip) being handled as 32 bit by MPD.

Hi,
Max over at the MPD forums provided a nice explaination of whats going on with MPD bit depths. This is what MPD is doing:
(1) MP3: The property of bit depth does not exist in compressed file formats until they are decoded back to PCM. MPD uses libmad plugin to decode MP3 format and libmad outputs 28/44.1 PCM of which 24 bits are used by MPD.
(2) WAV: The libsndfile plugin is used by MPD to decode WAV format files and this decoder always outputs a bit depth of 32 bits.
(3) HW_PARAMS: This is the bit depth reported by ALSA and is what is actually sent to the audio device. If its lower than the MPD decoded bit depth, it reflects MPD falling back to a PCM bit depth that the audio hardware indicates it can support. This was the case in the WAV example where the decdoded bit depth was 32 bits but the DAC (a BerryNOS) can handle only up to 24 bit.
Bottom line is that MPD bit depth reporting is OK, but its not necessarily the source bit depth but rather the bit depth output by the particular decoder MPD is using.
I think all thats needed is a bit of editing in the Input Media section of the Audio Info popup to indicate what the bit depth actually reflects. Something like "(MPD decoder bit depth)".
Case closed

Hi,
Continuing with work on "Up Next" items for release 1.1
I've just finished completing the saved playlist feature. The feature now includes the following fixes and new capabilities:
- FIX: Saved playlist name not showing up in Browse panel
- NEW: On click, list items in saved playlist
- NEW: Action menu for saved playlist includes "Delete this playlist"
- NEW: Action menu for saved playlist items includes Add, Add/play, Add/replace/play
The attached screen shots show 1 before and 2 after Browse panels.
Next I'll be working on general layout, text wrap and button size issues, the timed power off feature, then probably a release.

Hi,
Just finished fixing the layout and text wrapping issues in the Browse and Playlist panels
In the attached "before" screen shot (blue), the title text wraps but the row height does not expand. This causes the line of text below the title to crash into the next row.
The "after" screen shots (amethyst) show the Playlist and Browse panels with the row height nicely expanding when the title text wraps.

Hi,
I started working on the Clock Radio feature but became distracted thinking about how to handle Compilation Albums in the Library. Currently, each compilation album shows up as a series of individual albums, one for each artist in the compiltion. This is due to how the Library is organized.
First step was to figure out how 'jotak's elegant and amazing core Library filtering and rendering code works and then determine whether its possible to integrate Compilation Albums so that each one shows up as a single, rolled up album.
It appears to be doable, but I'm not quite finished yet. When complete I'll post release 1.1
The attached images show before (river) and after (carrot) screen shots of the panel.

Cover art
Hi,
very nice job and thanks for it. I have just downloaded SD image of version 1.1 and it works fine.
Where I'm not successful is to display cover art.
I have cover art in music folder for each album named "cover.jpg".
I have installed image downloaded from your web page and I'm receiving message "Cover art not found". This is what happens in web GUI.
However if I use MPad application I can see cover arts and it works fine.
I have tried SSH and:
ln -s /var/lib/mpd/music /var/www/Music
and
ln -s /var/lib/mpd/music /var/www/covers
but I still can't see album art in Tcmods web interface (I can see it in MPad)
I'm a Linux newby Can you please help me?
Thanks

Hi,
Lets check a few things out to see whats going on
(1) Remove the two symlinks described in your post above. They will not work with the cover art lookup code.
- rm /var/www/Music
- rm /var/www/covers
(2) Let me know how you have defined the root of your music collection in the WebUI. Is it setup as a NAS source?

Hi,
Another useful piece of information would be the following:
(1) Start a track playing in the WebUI, one where "cover art not found" happens.
(2) open a term session
(3) telnet <IP or hostname of Pi> 6600
(4) enter the MPD command "currentsong"
(5) post back the line that starts with "file:"

Hi,
thanks for your support. So I removed the folders as you proposed:
- rm /var/www/Music
- rm /var/www/covers
and now I can't see album arts in MPad (before I saw it there) as well I can't see in Web GUI of TCMODS.
When I use again:
ln -s /var/lib/mpd/music /var/www/Music
I can see album art in MPad but not in Web GUI of TCMODS
I have also tried to use "currentsong" command while playing music and logged into terminal with port 6600. I'm receiving answer shown below.
So it seems that I need to use ln -s /var/lib/mpd/music /var/www/Music to be able to see art in MPad.
Any idea or recommendation to be able to see album art in Web GUI?
Thanks

Hi,
Please confirm the following for me
(1) DNS-320 is the Source name (what was entered in Library, Add new network mount)
(2) cover.jpg is located in directory FLAC/Pop Rock/Linnea Olsson/Linnea Olsson - Ah!
(3) Hostname of your pi is default "tcmods"
If yes to above 3 items then try the following symlink cmd via ssh.
ln -s /mnt/NAS/DNS-320 /var/www/covers
A browser test would be:
"http://tcmods/covers/FLAC/Pop Rock/Linnea Olsson/Linnea Olsson - Ah!/cover.jpg"

1 - yes
2 - yes
3 - yes
I did this via SSH: ln -s /mnt/NAS/DNS-320 /var/www/covers
I have tried this "http://tcmods/covers/FLAC/Pop Rock/Linnea Olsson/Linnea Olsson - Ah!/cover.jpg" and I can see the art in web browser
Unfortunately I still can´t see album art in Web GUI of TCMODS. As before I do see it in MPad app.
Any idea what to do?
