turntable.fm-squared's Issues

Idle timers don't refresh on bop/upvote

Right now, the idle timers only display the time since last chat message. A lot of rooms consider upvoting a reset of idle time as well, so if this could be added as a config option, that would be greatly appreciated

Multiple idle timer options

I recently switched from using turntable.fm plus, and so far I love it. the only thing that I miss is the Idle timers counting/resetting for votes and for messages. I have looked at lot of other comments on this and other extensions and realize that not every one wants that. so what I would suggest is either having 2 timers one for votes and one for messages, or have an option for the timers to count/reset when a user votes or chats. the other option would be that it only resets for messages. Also the text showing the timers could be a little bit darker.(the last one is very minor, and just an opinion)
Edit: Was doing some testing with the notifications and I realized that in the notifications for a private message, every space shows up as %20 and other various characters come up as otherwise.(for example "?" shows as a %3f)

User list popup issues

The little popup list on the user list does not work for users that have any color but white (like red, green..) no workie..

Awesome

I just wanted to say, this is a super cool project and I really like what you're doing here. Feel free to snag any code you find useful from ttTools

Idle Replies - Loop

No aliases are set. When my idle reply comes up in response to a ping, I repeatedly reply to my own name in the initial message. This has been tested from other accounts. For example:

DJ TotallyABot: @UTBot

UTBot: Sorry @DJTotallyABot, but I am currently sleeping.

UTBot: Sorry @UTBot, but I am currently sleeping.

etc

UTBot looks at his own name in his own first message, and uses it to loop. Why does it do this? I am unable to figure this one out.

Settings Not Saving

Every time the page has to load (leaving room, refreshing, etc) the settings are reset to default, except for the text areas. So any check boxes, like auto up vote and anti idle, both of which i don't use, are enabled. Sorta gets annoying, and im getting close to getting banned sometimes when i meant to have auto DJ off.

Not working...

Not working with the new TT.FM layout.

%20 in Similar Tracks Search

When clicking on Find Similar Tracks and then clicking on the Blue Search TT.FM button you get a search string with %20 instead of the spaces that should be there. I understand %20 is code for "space" but this causes the search results to return nothing. An extension that seems to do this correctly is TurnTable Extended when you click on the Suggestion Link above your queue.

I don't mean to sound super critical but I'm surprised that there isn't already an open bug for this. I saw it within minutes of installing the app and it's actually a deal breaker for me. I love Turntable.FM-Squared more than any other extension.

Loading issues

I am using chrome and I unchecked the app to disable it and test a different app. when I rechecked it, it seems like it wanted to load, it moved my TT screen over and left a large black blank space. After refreshing my auto upvote is not working. Have tried turning it off and refreshing the turning it back on but still no luck.

Request for a configurable layout

It seems like each discreet element in this extension could be considered a 'widget' (or whatever you want to call it) - and it would be nice to be able to move/add/remove various widgets in the different sections. For example, it would be nice to be able to add some of the STATS items to the CHAT pane so that I don't have to switch panels to see upvote/downvote stats. This would prove to be especially useful if other advanced features (like playlist management) are ever added.

My Aliases not working

I am not hearing any sounds other than the regular chat sound on the mention of my aliases, Would also be nice to have it hi-light the chat message that mentioned my aliases. Maybe even have a Chrome Notification open up.

Chat box cutting off text

The chat box is cutting off 1 character of long strings of text... looks like it is hiding behind the scroll bar if the text is just the right length, right amount of spacing...

Greasemonkey shim script doesn't work.

Clicking on the Firefox greasemonkey link doesn't work: https://github.com/cballou/Turntable.FM-Squared/raw/master/greasemonkey/tt-squared.user.js

It does bring up the Greasemonkey pop-up, but it fails to load the script itself. As per the contents of that file it looks like a lot of the links in the metadata aren't accurate, and point to other scripts such as:

codebase: 'http://userscripts.org/scripts/source/6178.user.js',

which is a flickr.com script.

The auto upvote stops all the time

I have to either press awesome myself to "reset" it or I have to uncheck, save settings, check it again, save settings. This is a great extension, just have this issue with it lol. Hope you can fix it!!

Chat window wrap issues

When chatting (even with a widescreen) the chat window gets pushed over to the left and gets stuck there until i click in the empty text box and drag to the left.

Chat box erasing text

I love the extension, but I've had to disable it. When I'm typing in the chat box it will randomly erase everything I've typed. It gets pretty annoying trying to type something only to hit enter and see only the last word or two get sent.

Running in Chrome 21.0.1180.89 on Mac OS X 10.8.1

Stats seem like they are not doing much...

Yea they really never changed at all for me.

It doesn't seem to work at all as of today...

since the last update the elongated dj queue feature vanished, a definite bummer but doable, now though it seems that the whole extension isn't working, none of the features seem to work (Auto Upvote RIP ;_; ). I really LOVE this extension, and I hope you have the time to fix it...PLEASE :)

Styling

This is not really a bug, more of a suggestion for styling...

Don't mean to sound rude or anything but not digging the green on TTSquared, maybe try to match TT more or maybe another color that stand out and looks nice. Also maybe add a button to those title bars that minimize so users know they can minimize and maybe even some small text that says minimize and maximize and the icon/image changes state depending on if it is minimized or maximized....

I am a graphic designer and willing to help with the looks of it if you want... or not... for free of course... no worries on that, just thought I would offer! Really like your app, couple of tweaks and maybe even a few small additions and I think this app would be #1 or #2 for TT users! great work so far!

ideas to think about...

-Upvote delay input ( 4 seconds before i start to bop... 20 seconds..) using a slider, or custom text entry field

-Multiple sounds to choose form for the notifications (mario coin, record scratch.. so on..)

-Some kind of tagging for songs

-button to push songs to the bottom of the que

DJ's at the top of user list?

Would be really helpful from a moderator view. Thanks
