I am just in the process of installing your cms. I played with the demo you had on the site, though I must be blind as I can no longer find that link. One option I really missed in the demo that I used quite often in some of the php alternatives is the ability to play music in a flash player popup window. The nice thing about being able to access the flash player in a popup window or in a frame is that one can navigate through the system without interrupting their music playback. Another option that would be nice is the ability to control the popup window size and the skin that the jw player uses.

Are these features available, and if not could they be available in a future release?

Thanks again for the great project! This has to be one of the most visually pleasing cms systems out of them all.

Time for me to try installing this on my live xp server. Giving up on my 64bit vista test system as the wiki doesn't match up with it and all I am getting is errors. Yuck vista.

Hi GreenGeek,

Yes, all the pages provide a popup player. You can kick off a popup player in the GetAlbum, GetArtist and PlaylistPlay pages. In the latter 2 pages there is a link right below the player that says 'Popup Player' and in the GetAlbum page there is an icon that you click just below the player to launch the popup player.

You can see a screenshot of the popup player running (from v1.2) HERE.

I have removed the demo from the site because there was just no way to host a demo for version 2.0 since everything occurs dynamically. In the older revisions, the scanner actually created the XSPF playlists at the time of the scan so I was able to host the demo without actually posting any actual mp3 files on the site. The new revisions generate the playlists on the fly and do validation during the request so its impossible to host the demo (unless I found a host that was affordable and allowed me to host mp3 files.... but then that opens a can of worms because the minute you make your collection available over the internet you are subject to Radio Royalties to the RIAA).

Personally, I feel the screenshots are enough to demonstrate the application.

As for 64-bit OSs, I can't really say much about that since I have never used one before but one of our members was able to get the CMS running on 64-bit by getting the 64-bit SQLite libs and overwriting the 32-bit ones that ship with the cms.

Hope this helps,
--T3
