TouchRemote 0.2.8.3

Minor update to resolve issues with Remote 2.3.

Not really a solution, just a quick fix for now. May be broken by the next Remote update.

New Remote 2.1.1

Apple just released a new version of Remote app.
They’ve fixed a bug with numerous server-info queries on each reconnect, so it connects really fast now. “Back” button doesn’t blink anymore when changing volume or pressing buttons.

TouchRemote is also updated to fix some bugs and add some features.

foo_touchremote 0.2.7

Ability to compress network traffic is back. Also there are some memory and performance improvements.

If you think memory usage is still high, please download ProcessMonitor and watch foobar’s “.NET Performance” page while using Remote:

Take records on how “# Total commited Bytes”, “# Total reserved Bytes” and other parameters change during run time – that would help to resolve your issues.

foo_touchremote 0.2.5

U know

foo_touchremote 0.2.3

Just a next update.

Features:
- Gets and sets song ratings (foo_playcount required).
- Uses common titleformat strings rather than fixed tags to get track information. They are hardcoded for now, but could be made customizable in the future.

Fixes:
- Memory usage optimized (a bit).
- When shutting down correct statuses are now sent to Remote.
- Less updates are sent when playback state changes.

foo_touchremote 0.2.1 (beta 1)

Ok guys, here’s a long-awaited update for foo_touchremote. It has been rewritten from scratch, so not all features of the previous versions may be replicated.
It still may have a lot of bugs, so feel free to leave your feedback in comments or by e-mail.

Requirements:

• .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 or higher;
• Bonjour;
• Remote app on your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad.

Grab and try: foo_touchremote 0.2.1.2

foo_touchremote 0.1.1

Here’s a small update for all of you, people.

Now you can browse and play your library music. Selected albums or search results are now loaded into auto-playlist on the foobar’s side.
Also compression of data was added. Almost all output traffic is gzipped, so loading large numbers of tracks should be faster now. Album art is not compressed, but it is now resized as requested by iPhone app.

Known bugs:
- Currently playing track list (those you ‘flip’ on the NP screen to set ratings) is not working.
- No shortcut letters in the lists. Seems Remote supports only latin letters, making anything else to be ‘#’. That require me to change sort order (latin letters first, numbers and all other letters next), and it is not so cool. Need to think on how to override that behavior.
- Any library changes are reflected only after foobar restart. That should be fixed soon.

As it is usable somehow, download link is posted to the product page, so grap it there.

Roadmap

Some info for those of you guys who likes and uses my foobar plugins.
1. foo_w7shell updated to version 0.2.9.1. Settings page is not legacy anymore, now it uses new apply/cancel features.
2. foo_touchremote won’t be published for some time. I have no wifi at the moment (my home router is partially broken), so unable to test the plugin. Anyway, I’m working on the library support and still planning to post an update until the end of January.

Also I’m going to use 1.0 SDK for foo_touchremote, but it would break compatibility with older foobar versions. So I’d like to ask if you really need that 0.9.x support? If you don’t, 0.9.x support will be dropped, so vote in the comments!
