I've been on a bit of a Jinzora-upper recently, and I just added a new feature!

The keywords searching is more advanced than before. It now supports queries like the following:

@play @album @genre alternative

Plays a random album from the 'alternative' genre.

@random @album @artist Jimmy

Randomizes a randomly chosen album by Jimmy Eat World.

@random @artist @genre rock

Randomizes an artist from the 'rock' genre.

This doesn't work with an tag-based backend, but I don't think many people use that anyways ;)

If you didn't know about the '@play' and '@random' search keywords already, this is a great time to try out one of my favorite features!

Just wanted to post a quick note to tell you Jinzora now supports VLC Media Player in Jukebox Mode.

VLC is our first fully cross-platform jukebox, relying on its own built-in HTTP interface!

Configuration is really easy and the plugin is very feature complete. VLC also supports video playback, but I have not tested this to see how well Jinzora will play along... Test away and be sure to post any issues you run across.

I recommend setting $jbArr[ID]['prefix'] = 'HTTP' to have Jinzora send Web Links. This makes configuration a breeze and provides better track information on your site.
