DESCRIPTION

THIS IS ALPHA SOFTWARE.

This module is currently unmaintained. If you want to take over the care and feeding, write to modules@perl.org.

I am still developing Mac::iTunes, and this module depends mostly on that. This handler does most of the stuff I need it to do, so further development depends on what people ask for or contribute. :)

URLs

After the base URL to the iTunes handler, you can add commands in the path info. Only the first command matters.

/play, /pause, /stop, /next, /previous

Does just what it says, just like the iTunes controller.

/back_track

Restarts the current track

/volume/<number 0-100>

Sets the volume to a value between 0 and 100. Numbers below 0 are taken as 0, and those above 100 are taken as 100.

/playlist/<playlist>

Changes the playlist view to <playlist> if it exists.

/track/<number>/<playlist>

CURRENTLY BROKEN!

Plays track number <number> in <playlist>.

Template Variables

This module uses Text::Template because I expect people to hack it for their own templating system (please send back modifications!).

$base

The base URL (from APACHE_ITUNES_URL environment variable)

$current

The current track name

$playlist

The current playlist

@playlists

A list of the playlists

@tracks

A list of tracks in the current playlist (in $playlist)

$version

The version of Apache::iTunes

Environment variables

APACHE_ITUNES_URL

The URL to the mod_perl handler so it can reference itself.

APACHE_ITUNES_HTML

The location of the template file.

TO DO

* even though this is mod_perl, Mac::iTunes is still pretty slow. when i get to the optimization stage, Mac::iTunes will get faster and so will this.
