Hi rern,
nice job on some features, by the way I already introduced some of them in the new version of the system we're working on (version 2.0). Would you be interested in helping us on its development? are you familiar with collaboration on GitHub?

[ACX]

Btw, the second lyrics provider you are using doesn't seem to have very reliable API responses... Testing a silly query with "Queens Of The Stoneage" as artist and "Stairway to heaven" as title, you get this

Hi ACX,
Yes, I'd be interested.
I just have started doing some basic clone, commit, push, pull recently. Never joined a GitHub collaboration but I'll try not to ruin anything.

Thanks for sharing this. The enhancements look excellent. However I've tried installing them but get an error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function is_localhost() in /srv/http/app/templates/header.php on line 17

Is there another file that needs including?

[rern]

function is_localhost() is the 1st one, in /srv/http/app/libs/runeaudio.php, that already defined. I've seen some error of this kind myself.

clear OPcache > clear browser cache > refresh should fix it.

[ianhaynes]

No, refreshing the output cache doesn't fix it. I still get the error about the missing function.

Any other thoughts?

PS: I've just checked runeaudio.php and there is no function is_localhost there ??

Hi ianhaynes,

you have either a RP1 or your image is not up to date.
The function is_localhost() was added Nov 5, 2015 when we introduced the local browser feature.
