The first Xspf Jukebox update in a couple of months, to celebrate my 17th. This update fixes all of the bugs that have been brought to my attention, as well as adding some new features. Some changes include autoresume carrying the paused state, as well as the shuffled playlist order, through a refresh. Repeating track and playlist problems have been resolved, as well as internet radio issues. New additions include a scrolling playlist to show the current track, a play state display for skins (shows play/pause/stop icon), and a customizable format for track labels using the “format” variable. Just type exactly how you would like each track label to appear, using “-creator”, “-title”, “-location”, and “-annotation” to insert their respective values. For example, “Playing: -title by -creator” could output “Playing: The General by Dispatch”.

Xspf Bug Fixes »« Skin Specifications
A new skin has been posted for the Xspf Jukebox, resembling the Original Xspf Player. Also, the documentations for both Gallery and the Jukebox have been updated.
Submit Skins »« Gallery 2.0
This is the second edition of my dynamic Flash slideshow, Gallery. Not having been updated in a good five months, this version fills in the gaping holes in code missing from the last version. Many things have been tweaked and updated, the visuals and animations included. There are a couple off new transitions, and additions of easing tweens for 14 total transitions with subsets to give up to 101 possible effects. The control box is now working perfectly, along with keyboard control. Use the arrow keys and the spacebar to cycle through images, pause, and play. Add music, a watermark, and as many images as possible through an easily customizable XML interface. (the flash movie needs focus to enable keyboard control, this can be done through external scripts, or by the user clicking on the movie). Flickr support has now been added as well, fully customizable as to what pictures are shown, yet simple to implement. The documentation will be updated shortly.
Try it out.
Xspf Original Skin »« Xspf Jukebox 5.6
A small Jukebox update to accompany my move to a new server, with a couple of bug fixes, and a couple of new features as well. The shuffle function now uses a randomized array, instead of a totally random number, which means that, while your music will come randomly, the order stays the same as you scroll through, much like in iTunes. The fancier part of the update is the inclusion of almost full keyboard control over the player. The Left and Right arrow keys change tracks forward and backward, and when used in combination with the Shift key seeks through a track. The Up and Down arrow keys control the volume, the Spacebar Plays/Pauses, and the Control key (Command on a Mac) switches through combinations of Repeat and Shuffle. (the flash movie needs focus to enable keyboard control, this can be done through external scripts, or by the user clicking on the movie)Check it.
Gallery 2.0 »« Domain Change
I have completed my second server transfer in two years, and I think i’ve found a reliable host. I am working on updating everything on the site to work with the new domain, and I should be close. If you see any problems, please tell me. Also, if you were redirected to this site from geekkid.net, now is a good time to update any links you have saved.
Xspf Jukebox 5.6 »« Xspf Jukebox Playlist Creator (Windows)
This post marks my first useful program for the Windows platform (besides Blackjack of course). The Xspf Jukebox Playlist Creator, as the name states, is used to create and edit Xspf and Xml playlist files for use with the Xspf Jukebox. Files are automatically parsed and labeled using their id3 tag info, both version 1 and 2 are supported. Images are also added automatically to the best fitting song, if the image name matches a songs Creator, Title, or Filename. The Creator supports both importing and exporting of playlist files. Feel free to leave any comments, suggestions, or criticisms. In the works is a Cocoa version for Mac OSX, and a Skin Creator to allow anyone to create visually appealing skins for the player.Updates for both the Xspf Jukebox and Gallery are coming soon.This project is no longer supported.Â
Domain Change »« Actionscript OnCue
I was asked to create a prototype for a future FLV player for a client, which used Actionscript cues in combination with a List component. The as the video changed cues, the list selection changes as well, and vice-versa, when a cue is clicked in the list compnent, the video must seek. A photo display is controlled by both and fades images on cue changes. (more…)
Xspf Jukebox Playlist Creator (Windows) »« Xspf Customizer & Embed Generator
There are two new tools posted on my site to aid in the use of the Xspf Jukebox. The first is the Embed Script Generator, which takes your entered values and outputs a copy-and-paste code for almost any html page. The second and likely more useful is the Xspf Customizer, which generates a “variables.txt” file. It makes all of the variables easy to understand, and does most of the work for you; just tell it what you want.
