where can i set my mpd socket or port? also password required to connect to mpd?

Just pulled and everything is working but I am not seeing any album cover art. Is this only supposed to be coming from wikimedia/musicbrainz/lastfm or can I use my own cover art as embedded as metadata in my songs (or a JPEG in the album folder)?

Running iTunes 12.0.1.26
Windows 7
Ruby 1.9.3 with dev kit

installed sonice, and the first time it ran I got the webpage and controls, and some names of some songs came up and then it stopped working. Not sure if it ever managed to control iTunes at all.

On future attempts to get it to work I get the internal server error and nothing comes up.
Here is the output from the cmd line.

A picture speaks louder than a thousand words, so here's two.

Mobile (Android 4.4.2, Google Chrome Stable)

Desktop (Safari, Mac OS 10.10)

Also, I had to change the "play" glyph to ▶ because Google Chrome on Android would render the former glyph to a barred box.

Since a LastFM API change, all images now all return a blank image:

A new source of images would be nice to have as a background.

Other sources to consider:

• Spotify Web API
• MusiXMatch
• Deezer

where do I edit to get it working with a custom port mpd?

Hi guys,

Now that we resolved the anyplayer issue with Itunes Windows not connected with anyplayer, I started to resume trying out sonice.

When I ran sonice at the command prompt (under Windows obviously :) ). I encountered the following error logs written on screen. (see attached)

Hope you can see the error message..

Basically it says it failed to instantiate WIN32OLE object from my Itunes.

But the odd thing about it is that I can still somewhat able to interact with my running Windows itunes using Sonice web interface ie can play/pause, move next/prev track.etc. Only the response is very slow for itunes to accept the web interface controls commands.

Hope this makes sense.

Let me know if you need further info from me.

I have many untagged flac files in my collection, and I would be so nice if I could display the filename, with some random background images (like chromecast or bing images).
Thank you for this well done project.

To launch it:
$ ./so_nice.rb
Change to:
To launch it:
$ ./sonice.rb

I assume this is just my environment, but between every event in my logs such as 127.0.0.1 - - [14/May/2012 22:04:19] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 67 0.2317 I also get a bunch of errors that look like this:

This isn't the end of the world as everything functions as expected, but it certainly fills up the console fast.

I get this message when installing on Ubuntu 20.10, Ruby 2.7

Nevermind, I relaunched sudo gem install sonice and installation ends without error the 2nd time.
I still don't know if I should have allowed "rake" overwriting "anyplayer".

It works amazingly well, even if I don't understand the "voting system", and the artist picture is missing. Hope this fix ( #49 ) will be merged soon !

for eg. I would like to add a stop button on the interface since I notice there isn't any.

Do you mind if I make the changes on my local dev machine, commit and push it for you to review it?

Let me know if that works for you. Cause this is my first time I actually want to actively participate in open-source projects.

Thanks.

This isn't so much of an actual issue as something I'm trying to do. You probably remember me from committing to the anyplayer gem. Now I'm trying to incorporate that playing? boolean into so-nice, but I'm noticing that when I pause the music, my assigned variable @playing does not recognize that. How can I update the variable each time, just as the song info updates every time the song changes?

get '/' do
  @title = $player.track
  @artist = $player.artist
  @album = $player.album
  if $player.name == "iTunes" or $player.name == "Spotify Mac"
    @playing = $player.playing? # How can this be updated each time I pause/play the music? 
  end

Possibly add pianobar control, it has the ability to be controlled by fifo.

Message from the API: "The artist.getImages method has been deprecated".

Remove if !request.xhr? to get it working via curl, wget.

It used to be the case with Last.fm's api before they closed it. An alternative could be using Echonest's API. See #13.

To prevent sending the X-Frame-Options header you need to disable frame_options like this:

set :protection, :except => :frame_options

On dark screens especially, the favicon is kinda messy.
