   Glad to hear you are working on this again. I’ve been looking for a good web client for mpd and so far this one looks like it will be the best.

   I actually want to modify this to use on a 800x600 screen (Pepper Pad 2). I tried to change the width in the style.css file, but it doesn’t seem to have any effect. Any suggestions?

   Thanks for the good work you’ve done so far with this, can’t wait to use the finished product!

   I figured out the style problem, wrong css file. Changing the values in templates/default/styles.css worked for me.

   Glad you managed to solve your problem. NeoMPC has been designed in such a way as to allow different skins later on, although it hasn’t been implemented yet.

   I’ve almost got my media box up and running, so development should continue Real Soon Now™. :)

   Really nice to hear that you are working on this! I use i slighty tweaked neompc on my Siemens Pocketloox at home almost daily, what i really miss is playlists….. Have been thinking about building it myself byt i dont seem to have the time :-(

   Wow! I’m really pleased that somebody has found it so useful :)

   I will get cracking with it very soon. I’m on holiday next week so I should be able to find time to get some stuff done. There’s a few bugs in there that I’ve been meaning to squash for a little while now.

   I must confess that I rarely use playlists. I usually play albums, which I seperate into folders, hence the way NeoMPC works at the moment. Playlists are on the list though, I just have to figure out the best interface for them.

   Is one of those bugs you want to squash how to deal with filenames containing apostrophes? This problem seems to exist in all of the mpd web clients. I’m trying to figure out how to work around these now but no luck yet…

   NeoMPC is excellent, thank you for that. The only problem I had with it is that it doesn’t fit web standards very well, for exemple the tag should be at least but I guess this is the fault of Smarty? Anyway, 2 minutes of modifications and it’s on the road. Keep it up!

   With a little bit of tweaking this layout could be made flexible and fit most any device (for instance making width 30%/50% and heights in em) this way you can set the font size small and shrink the screen and everything looks just like it does now, but when say on my monitor it looks like a normal web app.

   Hi

   I’m using it exclusively from now ! Perfect for everyday life !

   I’m looking forward volume control & progress indicator… Search function maybe… Wanna help for coding ?

    Chris the fix for dealing with apostrophes is actaully quite easy and simple requires patching two of the templates, I’ve posted the patched files to the google code page under issues.

    Hi all,

    i just started using NeoMPC, its a lovely client! It works perfect on my Pocket PC, but i miss some functions and I wonder if you’re still developing?

    It would be usefull to have a qeueu, a playlist who deletes the songs once played, and also usefull, a search, becouse there are so many songs in my library

    Keep on the good work!

    I certainly intend to continue development, I just haven’t had a great deal of time to throw at it lately.

    Excellent, love it! »

    Firstly, thanks for a great tool - it’s pitched perfectly. Works like a dream on my QVGA Windows Mobile 6 phone via wifi. Interface is perfect, not too much, not too little.

    Secondly, I found a ‘bug’ (which, I’ll admit, is an unfair way of describing what happens) in NeoMPC’s handling of magic quotes (i.e. it doesn’t). I’m new to php, so that this ‘feature’ of the language exists at all is horrifying to me, hence my being understanding that you ignored it!

    Basically, if you have ‘magic_quotes’ turned on, and you start browsing to, say D’Angelo, the interface starts getting littered with D'Angelo.

    Long story short, php, helpfully (yeah, right) adds in \s to GET parameters behind your back (to prevent SQL injection).

    It’s explained in more detail here: http://www.sitepoint.com/blogs/2005/03/02/magic-quotes-headaches/

    and if you add their little code snippet to index.php, everything works as it should.

    Thanks for the magic quotes link Max, the code is currently littered with stripslashes functions and it will be nice to get rid of those!
