Server
In the Pro version, kJams allows the KJ to enable a web server that can act as the front end to kJams. This will allow singers to log in and manage their "Tonight", "Favorites", and "History" playlists. They can search the Library or any of their singer lists to find songs they can then put into their "Tonight" list. They can reorder their "Tonight" list so the songs come in the order in which they want to sing them.
Note: This feature is NOT complete and is not considered "ready for prime time". At the moment i'm only soliciting feedback and bug reports. Do not expect to be able to deploy this at your shows. Support for iPhone Safari is NOT working, that is coming soon, there will be full support for it but it is NOT available now. Also, the Web UI will not work in any version of Internet Explorer.
- To enable existing singers for remote login, right click on the singer and pick "get info" and enter a password.
- Hold down the option key and pick "Preferences"
- Click "Sharing".
- Check "Enable kJams Web Server"
- Enter a port number or keep the default eg: 12345
- find out the sharing name of your machine (in System Preferences->sharing, eg: "mymac.local")
- Go to a machine on your local network and enter the kJams Server url eg: http://mymac.local:12345
Send me some feedback on what works and what doesn't, and what you need to make it better. Thanks!
Known Issues
- Any list (singers or songs) with more than 200 items will not load.
- A failed login (i.e., bad password) will not display an error; it will just display the login page again.
- The album selector doesn't actually do anything (yet).
- Updates made in kJams don't show up in the web UI until the playlist is refreshed. This will be addressed after 1.0.
