CiefpVibes v1.9 original code (4000+ lines, stable)

OpenDirectory parser adapted from CiefpOpenDirectories plugin

📝 Version Info

python 3

PLUGIN_VERSION = "2.0"

[RELEASE] CiefpVibes v1.9

--- Android FTP & Network Update ---

After intensive work, I am pleased to present you version 1.9 of my plugin.

The focus of this version was on expanding the network capabilities and enabling easier communication between your mobile devices and the receiver.

What's new in version 1.9?

📱 Android & Phone Sync (FTP Support): Added the option to FTP connect to Android phones.

Now you can directly stream audio files from your phone without having to switch to USB.

🧹 Smart Cache Management (TMP Folder): In order for the system to work stably,

a system for managing temporary files in the /tmp folder has been added.

The plugin automatically clears the cache when a certain limit is reached to avoid congestion in the receiver's memory.

⚙️Key features:

Playback of all popular audio and video formats.

Network menu for managing connections in one place.

Simple File Browser with support for local and network paths.

Note: For best results when connecting to a phone,

it is recommended to use a stable FTP server on your Android device (e.g. port 2121).

When connecting via ftp to an Android phone, the plugin scans the folder contents

and temporarily saves the found audio files in the TMP/FTP cache folder for further playback.

In case you have a lot of audio files, this can take up additional memory on the receiver in the tmp folder.

The Settings menu has options for clearing the cache and TMP/FTP cache.

How to use:

Settings on the phone:

- start File Manager (I use the system one)

Settings in the file manager:

- set the port to 2121

- set the login user:root passw:user1 (put your own password)

Starting FTP

FTP - Start

The ftp address is displayed on the screen, for example:

192:168:1:10:2121

On the receiver, open the plugin

Menu button Network, select the option:

Connect to Phone (Android FTP)

The virtual keyboard starts (I recommend the NewVirtualKeybord plugin)

The order of entry is as follows:

ip address - enter the ip address without the port, click on green to continue

port - here enter only the port 2121 green to continue

username - enter the username you entered in the file manager green to continue

password - enter the password you entered in the file manager green to confirm

if the connection is successful, the files from the phone are displayed

Update online, for new installations via wget link.

🇬🇧 CiefpVibes v1.8 – Release Notes

## 06.02.2026 ##

## ✔ Fixes

- Stabilized album cover (poster) display when changing tracks.

- Fixed issue where poster reverted to placeholder after a few seconds.

- Prevented default poster from overwriting an already displayed valid cover.

## 🚀 Improvements

- Added cache retry mechanism – if a cover is not found immediately,

plugin retries loading it from cache.

- Improved handling of online radio metadata

(incomplete or duplicate ICY updates no longer trigger wrong poster changes).

## 🖥️ Interface / Usability

- Added top status bar showing currently selected playlist or file name.

- Name updates instantly on selection (local and online sources).

- Long names are automatically shortened with ... for better readability.

CiefpVibes v1.4 - Update Log

Release Date: December 13, 2025

Key Improvements:

Automatic Update System: Added version check via version.txt on GitHub.

Plugin now automatically detects new versions, displays status on screen (e.g., "Up to date ✓" or "Update v1.5!"),

and prompts for installation with a MessageBox. Includes backup/restore of config files for smooth upgrades.

Enhanced Poster Display: Improved parsing of song titles from filenames

(ignores track numbers like "01 - ", years like "(1993)", remixes).

Better iTunes API fallback for artist-only searches when no title match.

Fixed throttling to allow immediate display of downloaded covers, reducing default poster time.

Cache matching is more accurate, with no flickering during playback.

Other Fixes:

Better handling of online .tv playlists and local MP3 files.

Debug logs for easier troubleshooting.

Network mount improvements for laptop connections.

How to Update: Run the plugin – it will check and prompt automatically if a new version is available on GitHub.

Thanks to everyone who uses and tests CiefpVibes – enjoy the music! 🎶🖼️
