Ok here you can request a feature for Vibe Stream Server

Here are a list of planned features http//www.vibestreamer.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5

---------------------------------------

[u30dznx6z]Features[/u30dznx6z]

* Resizeable Server Window - Allows more items to fit in the window, such as the logs not being cut off.

* Extendable Logs - Logs everything but ability to search for specific such as added users, streamed

* Search Feature - Ability to search by music in Alphabetical Order by Artist, Song, Year, Or folder View. Also able to search and return similar or exact matches of a song.

* Maybe an ability to stream to an http//blah.com8081/stream.mp3, and use the web as an interface to dj music, like stremserver.

More ideas are welcome.

I dont know if I'd call it a feature, but something that I think would be interesting, if possible, would be to have the next song start to download as the last song is almost at the end, so there isnt' quite as much lag time between songs. Not that the two songs would run right into each other, but the space between them wouldn't be as high.

That one have been brought up before. And i think it would be really cool if it could be implemented in a future release.

Good suggestions. However one has to keep in mind that the user interface(client and server) aims to be simple and intuitive, by adding too many bells and whistles there's a risk the application getting bloated and unnecessarily complicated. I do like your suggestions though and hopefully some of them will be added in the future.

Amish

06-07-2006 13:12:55

Oh heres another excellent feature ive been thinking about.

* A web interface for the server. Say in somewhere else and want to add a new user, or change some of the policies on a certian user, that could be done form an admin web interface.

siit

06-07-2006 13:21:13

This is a thing I've been thinking on for a while. It's absolutely doable. But the problem is that I'm not to fond of having 2 gui's to constantly keep updating.

A while ago I actually thought about skipping the server GUI completely and JUST run the GUI using the browser, that would make it so much easier to release Vibe Streamer on other OS's. Although it removes a lot of the functionality so it's really nothing I'll do in the future.

But an "admin skim" is definately not out of the picture.

Amish

06-07-2006 13:25:50

Well could you not incorporate the admin function in with the vibe scripting language? Then you will be able to script admin panels.

But I understand completely, it would be hard when you update the GUI interface to then have to update the web interface.

But its good that your keeping it in mind and hopefully find a way around it.

siit

06-07-2006 13:41:21

That's the idea I had. I 'just' need to add a few functions to update users etc. Because as it is now, the Vibe Script Language is just for requesting data. Meaning if you access a user object using the script language and try to change for example the username by objUser = 'newUserName';
The server won't accept this command, so as it is now I need to add functions for all this, for example set_user(objNewUser) .. But I don't know if that's the best approach or if I should dig even deeper into the Vibe Script Language and make it so the server reacts on setting the user properties and so it's synced with the server..

well, thats the whole problem with it, and there are solutions. But I prefer to wait and think a while so I don't end up chosing the wrong one.

Amish

06-07-2006 13:56:23

Yeah thats true. Well do it as it comes, dont run into it. Just hurry up P hehe

two ideas

integration with last.fm and the ability to play pre-made playlists, like ones that are made in winamp.

otherwise, great product ;]

ZipperSeven

06-07-2006 17:01:31

I second russizm's idea to support Winamp .pls playlists. Although I can see how that would be a difficult thing to add.

Is there a way to export the logs? Or am I missing it? If not...would be a useful feature for me.

TastyWheat

* Display more info in the main playlist (release year, album, genre, etc.). I know some of that stuff can be added if I modified the skin, but I think the standard skin should show more info.

* Add a link on the skin to a page instructing the user how to use the interface. As far as I know there isn't any documentation telling you how to play songs, remove songs, or manage playlists. The administrators might know all of these things but the users need to know them too. I would prefer that the users don't come bugging me how to do something.

* (I think someone above mentioned this) Add support for users to open .pls or .m3u files. This seems pretty simple to me since playlist files aren't much more than the pathnames to files. Of course, only supported filetypes and files that are already being shared should be loaded.

Otherwise I think you have a great program here. Keep up the good work!

mglukhovsky

07-07-2006 05:32:47

A few that I thought of today

* If a user disconnects (i.e. timeout or physical disconnect) give the user an option to start from the last folder opened, so that they don't have to browse through subfolder after subfolder to get to the songs they were last listening to.

* Don't know if it hasn't already been mentioned (or if I missed it in udder stupidity), but allow removal of songs from the queue/playlist. Sometime I add duplicates accidentally, etc.

* Dynamic sorting according to title, or (given the additional features TastyWheat mentioned) release year, album, genre, etc.

* Dynamic filter (a la a search box) based on any string, that would apply to all attributes in the IDv3 tag of a song (mentioned above)

* Currently you can highlight text in songs listed. I don't know if this is a feature or not, but to me it feels a bit tacky, as it's very easy to accidentally highlight songs.

* Show album covers (perhaps retrieved from an offline site, perhaps from the local folder the song resides in).

* For the future if Vibe can show pics (and I already serve my photos on there as well, it's a convenient way) then what about a "gallery view"? Using something like Lightbox or a separate dedicated gallery module, it's be nice to have something like tabs in a skin, so you can switch from Music to Gallery, or simply press a "View Gallery" button in a folder and view a slideshow/gallery of all the photos in a given directory.

* On that note, perhaps with live encoding, etc. it would be possible to use Flash to also view videos, a la YouTube or Google Video.

* Another possibility offer some way for users to develop plugins for filetypes, i.e. PDF or DOC viewing.

These are a lot of random idea, and some of them may be away from the intended goals of this project, so I'm totally okay with people saying "You're crazy! Why would you want that?"

Its possible if you add them in MIME types under the "settings" tab in VibeStreamer...

I was going to mention the same thing. It's just a side-effect of using a web browser for the client. I think there are javascripts that disable text highlighting but you never know when someone will actually want to copy text from the skin. The skin could utilize more flash to avoid this, like include the current playlist as part of the player. That would make the client side more compatible between systems and browsers too, except for PDAs and PSPs maybe.

siit

07-07-2006 17:35:40

text-highlighting will be completely removed on all browsers in the upcoming version of the standard skin. this is something that i've been bothered by aswell )

as for psp's and Pda's they're getting their own skin.

Are we talking about in the playlist where you click a song and it highlights. Because if you dont want it to highlight i have a fix for you if you need?

siit

08-07-2006 19:29:57

Nah it's more of an issue with the "selection" that can be displayed on text elements on a webpage. In the current version of the standard skin I've been lazy and used "unselectable=on" to prevent this in IE browsers, but in Firefox and Opera you still get this ugly selections.

But well, starting feel like the common answer now, but I've got a function set up now for the standard skin 2.0 that fixes it in all browsers. If I discover that creating the skin will take longer than I expected I'd drop it off in the skinning/mods forum and people can implement it as a quick-fix while waiting.

I would like to have a bit of html on my myspace profile that would let people know when the server is running.
This is similiar to the "stream to website/stream.mp3" idea, but simpler.

siit

12-07-2006 10:40:47

well this isn't a simple feature to implement. the only option I can think about is to implement plugin support into Vibe Streamer that allows people to write plugins for the server that does this. It's not impossible, but neither is it top priority at the moment. But I can let you know that I have given it a thought and already tested it a bit, so it's not impossible that it appears much later on.

Amish

22-07-2006 19:31:58

Sitt. This is basically stuff to add to the VIBE language.

* Add to log feature. So say peopel have extentsions they can log it. Server.addtolog("User downlaoded song")

* A time and date feature to use in conjunction with the above, or the addtolog function automatically appends the time and date.

* Return a persons group from their username. If no group then null.

Ermm well i was thinking please do make an admin panel, like utorrent the main feature is the program but only the most necessary features ar ein the webIE so you dont have to constantly update.

for the Web UI all you need is

* Start/Stop Server
* Add/Remove User
* A few of the advanced setting for Users
* Add/Remove/Change Share

And some other stuff

siit

23-07-2006 01:59:43

Great ideas, they're added to the to-do list.

To be honest I'm currently working on (it's only on the planning stage so far though) to re-write a lot of the Vibe Script language for the next version. The plan is to improve the object handling in order to more easily add more properties and functions to the language.

I'm not 100% sure how I want to work it out so I definately need to think a lot more before I start implementing it, but there _will_ be big changes for the upcoming version, just dunno how big yet )

But date/time functionality will be added, aswell as the log functionality.. also I will implement support for setting properties, not just getting them. This will make it possible to create an admin skin..

So be prepared, it will happend, I just need to work out the best solution since it's quite a big change to the Vibe Script language.. but ooh, it will be good .. .oh yes it will )

EDIT Just a little notice, at the moment I've actually been thinking about skipping the php-like function handling and abandoning it for a more general object handling, more lika java/c#..

And by that I mean turning everything into objects.. for example there would be objects such as

ShareManager
UserManager
ServerManager

For example, to work with users would be kinda like this

var usermanager = new UserManager();
var user = usermanager.getUser("guest");
user.setUsername("foo");
response.print(user.getUsername());

well, you get it. I'm not really sure yet if it's the best approach since it would make the language itself a loooot more complicated than I first planned, and since it's not a precompiled language it might be quite a performance hit, but still, it would make it a lot more easier to implement more functionality and more "libraries"..

but I'll have to get back to that, but together with the new version of the standard skin, this is my primary focus atm.

I recently used vibestreamer to provide the music at a party from my own music collection. A genius piece of work. Here are a few features that I think would be really useful

* Crossfading. Having a button to start streaming the next song and then crossfade between the two would be really cool, however as the FLA file for the Flash player isn't currently included as part of the skin this can't be altered by users.

* Add URLs to the playlist. Being able to add an external MP3 url to the current playlist (e.g. one accessible by the client computer) would be very useful, and hopefully not too hard to implement.

* Text search on filenames. Store the filenames and allow a free text search to locate tracks, rather than having to negotiate the directory structure.

Amish

26-07-2006 18:10:08

Yes siit that would be excellent man. Also if a search feature was implemented wouldnt some sort of matching feature in VIBE language be good.

siit

27-07-2006 12:20:39

drmeths
Crossfading and text search is planned for a coming version. As for adding urls to the playlist I leave that for skin modifiers, it's not a hard thing to add as a custom modification.

amish
Ofcourse, search functionality using the vibe script language is on the way. I've already begun rewriting the script engine (it's quite a lot of work I'll tell ya D) and you can now create a ShareManager object that has many usable functions, such as findFileByName() and findDirectoryByName() that will come in handy )

02-08-2006 12:42:10

I haven't looked real deep into netvibes. But I think that it may be possible to create such a module using the SendHttpRequest() method in the Vibe Script Language update that will be in the next version.

My sugestion.

IDK how many files/folders you people have, But I have like 18k mp3's all Artist/Album format. So it take a while when browsing through VS. Perhaps it could load them all when you open VS on the WWW, so you don't get that loading directories?

n1ck

03-08-2006 22:40:10

try 180k

Does take awhile D

siit

03-08-2006 22:43:20

That's the main reason that "loading files.." and "loading directories... " are there.. you have to realise that not everyone has the same catalogue structure, and it would be much worse (as it was in Vibe Streamer 1.0 actually) if it loaded all directories and files on startup. Vibe Streamer script language isn't as fast as a compiled programming language and looping through some guys collection of hundredthousands of mp3's might make vibe streamer load for up to a minut on startup. And I know that won't be very popular amongst the crowd.

So that's the technique the official skin will keep using, it will load directories and files whenever the selected folder is open.

Althought still, it _is_ possible to make your own skins/modifications so you can make Vibe Streamer work just the way you want it.. D

Ability to create varable to use in vibe langaugse. User Made varable

This will allow you to have certain varable and not have to hardcode them.

Creation of varables can be done through the GUI or language.

var vars = get_user_varables()

vars.varablename

09-08-2006 22:39:25

Both the new User and Session object has a SetAttribute() and GetAttribute() function that will solve this. User attributes will probably aswell be saved into the setting file, but will then only also allow string values..

Hey I thought of another one. I just want to say I love this program I download a lot of applications, but this one really is a gem! I only post ideas because I think they would be neat not because I don't like the program.

What if it was able to control bandwidth based on ipaddress and subnet, that way I can keep people on my local network free to stream fast and people accessing it over the web limited to how fast they can stream.

Amish

10-08-2006 19:04:06

Seriouslly thats an excelent idea well done.

brady

10-08-2006 19:45:14

also maybe just a general bandwidth control so that if you set two people to 48KB but you set the general to 80KB if they both go to stream at the same time combined the vibe won't hit 96KB it will max out at 80KB

brady

10-08-2006 22:23:36

okay I have yet another fun idea, I have a lot of soundtrack some are under original soundtracks I would have never thought to look there I instead would try to look under the movie name or under soundtrack, so here is my idea, if you put a shortcut to a folder in a directory have vibe streamer list everything under the directory it points to using the name of the sortcut as the folder they are shared under, that would be a way of letting you have multiple pointers to one directory ;o)

Amish

10-08-2006 22:49:33

Comeon man thats not a feature thats laziness... D

n1ck

10-08-2006 23:03:23

a welcome message - possible scrolling - for the username thats logged in.

ability to send private messages, either when someone is online, or when they come online.

ability to search via date, or to have a section for stuff added in the last couple of days etc..

Maybe not control bandwidth based on ip or subnet, but control bandwidth based on user account. Also maybe something like a "priority" setting, such that administrative users would be able to take full advantage of their bandwidth while guests would have to wait for additional bandwidth.

It's could be very useful if users are having problems with using the interface, or getting feedback on quality of connection/speed etc.

I would like to see an option to play all songs in a folder. My songs are well organized by genre, artist, album, then song. If I want to hear an entire album, I have to click on each song on the folder. It's not terrible that I have to do that, but it would be nice to be able to stream all of the songs with one click.

hey that reminds me of another fun feature, the ability to share playlists, I know that's a little more difficult but there are a lot of times I make a good play list I want to share with another user.

Also, what about the option to allow different views, such as "View all Artists," "View All Albums", and "View All Songs"

It is built in already - on the right side there is a plus sign, click that and all songs go into the playlist, works at multiple levels...

Thanks sgrynd. On that note, it would be somewhat helpful if there were popup help text notes when you hovered over a symbol. Thanks again.

Some of my suggestions have probably been mentioned before, but here is my list of improvements

[list2yssovvn]
* Be able to add multiple directories using the plus. Lets say that you have 8 albums in their individual folders, and those in a folder labeled with artist. I want to be able to click the plus on the root folder and every album under there is added. As it is now it says "No audio files found"
* Be able to rearrange the playlist however you want. Move, add, and remove. And preferred way would be by just drag and click and rightclick - delete or Del key to remove.
* Be able to select to show the bitrate of the source file in the player
* Be able to select a user who can change the names of the folders and the files, directly in the browser
* Being able to send the output to Winamp, so winamp plays it but the navigation and such is made via Vibe Streamer.
* Enable righ click, to bring up options, if possible in flash.
* Being able to remove more than only one song at a time in the currently playing list. Right now you can only delete one at a time. As well being able to select multiple files who are not next to each other* in the list and delete them at once.
* Being able to decide what quality the stream should be in so it does not require the user to download the source. SHOUTcast has this option. I'm thinking on the users with low bandwidth or with even a 56k modem or phones. And thsi would be great if you could apply this via users and groups, so that only the users who need it have this option enabled.

I have plenty more, but these are the most important from my point of view anyhow. Vibe Streamer is really a great software as it is, but even the best can be better.

First let me say that I love the Vibe. Keep up the good work. I am eagerly awaiting the next release. I love the fact that I can share my photos folder and view my pictures. I would love there to be a thumbnail view option. I am also looking forward to the streamer being able to play WMA's. I would also like to be able to view .pdf, .doc, .txt, etc..

For this purpose I suggest you take a look at MG2 that are made for that specific purpose. Not to say that you can't use Vibe Streamer, but it sounds like you are looking for something more geared towards that.

Hi, like everyone else, just want to start by saying "Excellent program!"

The one feature I'd like to see, and I think I've seen a brief mention of it earlier, is integration with last.fm/audioscrobbler (as it used to be), to allow me to keep tracking the music I listen to for music I stream from vibestreamer.

Thanks!

Hi siit -

I second that. How about a double-click in the left pane to add the entire contents of that folder to the current list?

Great piece of software! It's simple and it just works. Why don't you make it free software, wiis? Free as in open source?

cheers

Just to add to the list of features I already posted, I would like to add yet another one.

Expand the statistic section. Would be nice to see the top 10 played songs and the ability to see the entire list, or at least set the maximum that will show when the link is clicked. But at least a page with various of stats would be nice. Such as top played song, which user that streams the most and so on. Have daily, weekly, monthly and yearly view.

How about the ability to download?

well in a more simpler way, you see using vibe streamer, you have the ability to edit members and his/her privileges.

If only the next version of Vibe Streamer could have the feature to give download privileges to one person,

and that the web player's download button will be following to a script thats automated by vibestreamer of people who has the privileges to download the music. then lets them download, so basically using vibe streamer to give privileges to a user to download music and download it on the player.

I really [b1kvtg8vv]love[/b1kvtg8vv] Vibe, thank you for creating it! Please consider providing us...

-The ability to set IP range access for users
[i1kvtg8vv]There's an option for straight wildcards (*.*.*.*) to disable IPs but we can't use a range like (xxx.xxx.*.*) to allow them.[/i1kvtg8vv]

-Auto-find Server IP and input to Vibe Settings
[i1kvtg8vv]For those of us with a dynamic IP... *sigh*[/i1kvtg8vv]

-Server Lost, Halt
[i1kvtg8vv]If connection goes down, automatically stop server.[/i1kvtg8vv]

-Live graphical server stats
[i1kvtg8vv]Showing name, IP, contact, uptime, connection speed, hardware specs etc.[/i1kvtg8vv]

-A folder for unique pages
[i1kvtg8vv]To run our own scripts, add-ins etc.[/i1kvtg8vv]

-Default Vibe Skin Control
[i1kvtg8vv]Option to globally set all users skins.[/i1kvtg8vv]

-Server File Detect
[i1kvtg8vv]If a new file is added, automatically re-index.[/i1kvtg8vv]

-Clickable Stuff Info
[i1kvtg8vv]The little hand that shows the user something is clickable doesn't exist in most places where it should.
[/i1kvtg8vv]
-User Help FAQ
[i1kvtg8vv]Built right into the page. Click a link, pop it etc.[/i1kvtg8vv]

-Log out page skin
[i1kvtg8vv]None?[/i1kvtg8vv]

-SSL passwords
[i1kvtg8vv]Absolutely needed!! Don't want just anyone sniffing around and finding an easy door into my computer. Suggestion Maybe PuTTY is something that could be added.[/i1kvtg8vv]

I think one or two of my suggestions have been mentioned already - please consider this another vote in those directions. D
Thank you kindly for developing this fantastic software.[/size1kvtg8vv]

well,
i think VS includes all the main features it should. i dont miss anything.
ssl support isnt so urgent imho, but it would be great to see it working )
there's just one little thing i find usable, the feature to add multiple mp3s
with only one click to the playlist. something like checkboxes before each filename
and a select/select all link/button at the top and/or bottom of the frame page.

you know what i mean? 8)

A while ago I actually thought about skipping the server GUI completely and JUST run the GUI using the browser, that would make it so much easier to release Vibe Streamer on other OS's......

siit

20-01-2011 13:00:38

Vibe Streamer 3 is actually written like that. The GUI is nothing but a frontend towards a non-GUI server. Open sourcing Vibe Streamer is a solution I'm thinking about for making it possible for peopel to work on other GUI's/console versions. Let me get back to you on that one, I've had a busy year but I really wanna get the source for Vibe Streamer out in one way or another.

The best thing would be if it were installable on an Apache/SQL setup, then it would be compatible with any platform. However I can see this making it more difficult for some users to setup.

Also let me know if you want this forum integrated with the main site, I could do that if you wanted.

Could you make it so we can also stream movies, that would be absolutely fantastic. Maybe a photo streamer as well.

I also would like to +1 for the download & upload.

What about an info point as well for say maybe business use so people can update what is going on, maybe like a mini facebook idea where you can post your status?

That one have been brought up before. And i think it would be really cool if it could be implemented in a future release.

I do not know if I would say it is a function, but something that I think would be interesting, if possible, would be to have the next song begins to download the latest song is almost at the end, so n ' is not "completely lag time between songs so much. Not that these two songs would go straight into another, but the distance between them, would not be as high. mrgreen

If it is able to control the bandwidth on the basis of the IPAddress and subnet so that I can maintain the free flow of people on my local network fast and visited pages limited to they can flow faster.
