thanx for the speed reply. It seems to work after the decimal pointer tweak.

aynway, what i meant with the “local caching” caching was some sort of browserindependent caching, e.g. via using an mobile device webserver such as pamp and download the itunes lib to a mysql db running on the device. (that’s what i had/have in mind with my “application” which i started to develop shortly before finding wifitunes…)

Please check if you have the decimal separator problem mentioned in earlier postings.

Storing data on the client side is something relative new to browsers, and was not available at the time wifiTunes was written. I think mobile Safari is still the only browser supporting this at the moment.

Anyway, wifiTunes will probably not be developed any further because of Apple’s Remote app.
I know there are other mobile devices out there, but Android has it’s own native remote app and we are iPhone users around here.
Apart from that, if you are not in the unfortunate situation of having the “wrong” decimal separator, it’s working quite well.

starts up fine, after some clicks i only see a whitepage. (tested on 10.5.6. in firefox 3.0.8 and safari 3.2.1)
usually happens when starting to play one track (link looks ok to me, like http://192.168.2.100:5555/index.html?cmd=playpause&id=1113)

any suggestions why it sometimes works, sometimes not?

btw another idea:
u wrote that the limit is 500 tracks due to long loading times etc. wouldn’t it be possible to sort of make a copy of the whole itunes library and synch that to the mobile device to load the playlists etc from that “local” (referring to the mobile devices point of view) cached version and then remote-control itunes?

so I finally got my apache working (leopard), and wifitunes started just fine. (tried in safari 3.2.1), however after clicking one a track i get linked to …?cmd=play… and am shown a blank white screen. when i restart wifitunes with the prefs panel and goto 127.0.0.1:55555 (which worked fine before) i only see a blank screen.
in firefox 3.0.8 i only ever see white screens…

all in all quite some amount of white… suggestions? (i plan on using it on my nokia 5800 , same there…)

other than that, seems to be a really cool app….

Switching the outputs is a little hack, because iTunes does not allow this to be scripted. It is done by UI scripting, which is ugly, but we tried to make it as good as possible. To make UI scripting work you have to do the following:
- open System Preferences
- open the Universal Access preference pane
- check the box next to “Enable access for assistive devices”

It should work now.
I thought a message would pop up if this is not enabled, but I think that was just wishful thinking.
Strangely, no one asked before.

Minor problem: When I use it at home, and try to click the speaker on the left to access other outputs (such as my airport express connected in another room), I get a message that shows my IP address and “Not available”. Could this be because my airport express is password protected for audio use, even though my G5’s itunes has the PW in its keychain and connects without putting it in manually each time. Or is it coming on a different port than the main HTTP connection? Just guessing randomly!

Thanks for making such a cool app and even making it freeeee, wow.
