iTunes & Indigo

Folks,

I am currently working on a Web Plugin for Indigo that will be able to drive iTunes natively… You will be able to control your playlists, and drive iTune’s volume levels from the Web GUI…

Anyone interested? If so, please let me know at Benjamin AT Schollnick DOT net… I will be looking for feedback for features that people want in this plugin.

Great thanks for the ideas you keep coming up with.

ey Benjamion, can you post installation instructions and how to access the plugin from the browser?

I dropped the folder in the Plugins folder of IndigoWebServer and typed in my web page's address, port number and /itunes , but nothing comes up.

I restarted the computer and still nothing.

That's all you should have to do... Restart the Indigo WebServer, and your good... The itunes plugin is displayed on the top level control page...

Can you send me a copy of your indigo log, showing the web server restart?

Oh... That's a thought.. What version of Mac OS X are you running? Leopard should be good (as well as snow leopard). I believe it should work on Tiger, but I don't have a tiger box to test on...

Here's a copy of the restart entries from the event log:

I don't see anything obvious... What version of Mac OS X are you running?

Have you installed a custom version of Python?

1) Download the ZIP file, and unarchive it.
2) Rename the Folder to “itunes” and place it in the following location.

/Library/Application Support/Perceptive Automation/Indigo 4/IndigoWebServer/Plugins

3) Restart the Indigo 4 Server

To Uninstall, just remove the itunes folder from the Plugins folder, and restart the Indigo Server.

I'm running 10.4.11 and have not installed anything regarding Python.

It works perfect for me, running Leopard.

I'm running 10.4.11 and have not installed anything regarding Python.

From the Terminal, type the following:

cd /Library/Application\ Support/Perceptive\ Automation/Indigo\ 4/IndigoWebServer/plugins/itunes

python reqhandler.py

What appears in the terminal after the python reqhandler.py command?

Here's what I get when I type that in:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "reqhandler.py", line 23, in ?
import cherrypy
ImportError: No module named cherrypy

Well, that's fine. So there is no obvious compile errors... As far as I can tell, it should be working fine....

So if you don't see any errors in the logfile, I don't know what's happening...

I'll take a look to see what options there are...

This is what my URL looks like: http://xxxxxxxxxxxxx.homeip.net:#####/itunes

Are you testing it from your LAN (at home) or from Internet?
If you are testing it from your LAN at home, use ip address insted of a URL name, like:
192.168.0.1:8176/itunes
Your numbers can be different.... the ip number has to be the correct one for your Indigo machine; the port number can be 8080 on older installations, I believe.
If you are testing from the Internet, you should have port forwarding set up correctly to point to your Indigo machine. Also make sure the Internet provider is not blocking the port you are using (i.e. 8176).
