Servify, ReSpot, jReSpot updates!

Servify
Big update!
The OpenAL audio backend is implemented and tested on all platforms.
This means one and the same audio backend is used on all platforms (Windows, OS X, Linux) and more importantly it is (hopefully) a more stable solution. Particularly on Linux and OS X platforms.
The downside is that another external dependency may have to be installed.
For Windows and OS X, go here: http://connect.creativelabs.com/openal/Downloads/Forms/AllItems.aspx
For Linux (Ubuntu!) you install the following package: libopenal1

ReSpot
Small bugfixes, incremental improvements. Expect more rapid development here soon.

jReSpot
Small features implemented:
+"DEL" key to remove from queue
+Shuffle
+Repeat

Please report any new issues, regressions, bugs etc ASAP! (as comment to this post or email)

  1. PS: Forgot to mention that even though I had a lot of fun remote controlling my spotify via my htc handsets all these months ago, my ultimate goal now is to get it working with my boxee tv 😉 So looking forward to get it working again so I can give the SPY boxee app a whirl – I’ve already installed it!

  2. Does the playlists etc show up in jReSpot?
    All the extra mono-libraries etc are installed, as well as OpenAL ?

    There are no stacktraces prior to this one?

  3. Hoepfully we’ll get it working again 😉

  4. Please fix the “Not all tracks loaded. Waiting a while.” bug. It is really very annoying. The rest of the software works wonderfully, but this bug freezes the server software until “the tracks (which?) are loaded”… making it impossible to switch songs.

    It happens when you skip a song or select a song while another one is still playing…

  5. I will look into it when i get some spare time!

  6. Hi Johannes,
    Thanks for the great software!
    I have servify succesfully running on an old Dell Desktop running Ubuntu 11.04.
    I’ve had no success though in getting the server to automatically start at boot.

    I have created a script and called it from rc.local. I have confimed that rc.local is running from boot, but I seem to get the following stack trace:

    (If i type in manually
    /etc/rc.local start
    …into terminal all works ok)

    Any ideas? (ps, I have minimal knowledge of linux/most things)

    Cheers,

    Ben

    ** (Servify.exe:1591): WARNING **: Thread (nil) may have been prematurely finalized
    Segmentation fault
    ptrace: No such process.

  7. Not sure why it’s not working… maybe it is being run as root and it does not like that (incorrect PATH’s setup etc?)

    Maybe you can set it up to run from xinit or somewhere similar (if you always start X that is?).
    Or delve deep into the new “upstart” environment that Ubuntu supports…
