Hey guys!

First of all: i am alive
I had much to do the last months and currently i am in an exam-phase.
But in some weeks i can continue working on AWX

I read the last pages and noted down some interesting feature requests.
However i don't no, if i can implement all of them. The json api of XBMC is very limited.
For example interesting things like server side code is not possible and everything has to be implemented in client-side javascript.
So things like video-streaming are not possible because this requires either server-side code or executing external applications which is even not supported by the json-api.
I will check how the json-api has grown in the last time and then decide which features can be implemented. But i suppose that the api haven't change much and new json-api-features will only be available in Eden.

Here are some answers to the questions asked on the last pages:

1. Moving the Webinterface to another folder:
It seems that there are still path-problems. I think vaton4 fixed it, right? After verifying the fix i will add it to the code

2. design-issues on iPhone/iPad:
Currently i have none of these devices. I will see if i can fix the problems.

3. You can find the pause-button in the control-box. It is next to the stop-button

4. N/A in playlist:
This is a "Bug" of the xbmc-api. For files which are started using the file-list, the json-api does not return the artist/title when requesting the playlist. Hopefully this will be fixed in the json api in Eden.

5. Movie sets are currently not supported by the xbmc json-api. There already exist a ticket on xbmc trac.

6. Since the webinterface is completey executed with JavaScript in your webbrowser, there is no way to access the filesystem, e.g. for storing thumbnails. Currently i have only one idea to speed up the loading-process: Creating a php-file ore sth like that stored on a server (on the xbmc-machine) like Apache which caches a small-version of each thumb. So AWX would request the thumbs from that php-script, while the php-script is requesting the thumb from the json-api, resizes and saves it and serves it to AWX. But this would brake the plugin design because you need to setup a web-server and install a script Maybe you have some other nice ideas?
EDIT: A better idea would be writing another xbmc-addon, which acts like a small http-server only for serving/caching the resized thumbs.

7. To start playing queued albums:
Go to the playlist and click on the first Track.

8. Languages:
To fix special-characters, you need to encode them correctly. For example %E9 is an "é" and %E4 is an "ä".
Using the javascript-method unescape() the values of the languages are then converted to strings which are shown in the interface.
So you should use the escape()-function to generate the escaped string if you use special characters.
You can do this easily using your webbrower. Simply type this in the address field (tested in chromium/firefox):
javascript:alert(escape('ä'))
This will show a messagebox showing the escaped version of the string "ä" which you can use then in the language-file.

For testing purpose you can add the script-tag to load the language (index.html):
<script src="js/lang/lang.de.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
It then should be available in the settings-box.

Here is a french translation by laukev7:

http://pastebin.com/XR0SeSRS <-- addon.xml

Alessandrol send me a french translation, too, but without escaped characters:
http://users.skynet.be/bk263434/lang.fr.js <-- language file
Maybe you can merge your translations?

vaton4 already translated it to Czech.
@vaton4: Can you fix your translation using the escaped-characters (described above)?

Thanks for your comments!

Best regards,
MKay
