Thanks EFP and gsamsa for sorting this out. 1. Dropped the SlimFX skin into the Squeezeceter HTML directory 2. Dropped the SocketPolicy plugin into the Squeezecenter Plugin directory 3. Modified the SocketPolicy plugin: line 15 in the install.xml file: maxVersion7*/maxVersion line 141 in the Plugin.pm file: my $newport = 1843; 4. Then as root ran the following command: iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 843 -j REDIRECT --to-port 1843 ...and it works great -- mick_w http://www.ulverston.myzen.co.uk/mini-itx/ mick_w's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6526 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32422 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Is it possible to change the port number that the flash app is using? I've been skimming, and it seems like it would be possible to change slimfx to look for the socket policy file elsewhere. The fact that 843 is less than 1024 is apparently intentional - see http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/fplayer9_security_04.html. However, it seems that there is another relatively easy solution for Linux -- running a perl or python script (as root) that will serve up the socket policy file on port 843, or running such a script through xinetd. Sample scripts are provided at http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/socket_policy_files.html. (This link was actually mentioned in a previous post by EFP). The actual policy file served up should be this: cross-domain-policy site-control permitted-cross-domain-policies=master-only/ allow-access-from domain=* to-ports=9090/ /cross-domain-policy I assume that anyone with a working knowledge of Linux would be able to set this up pretty quickly. Though maybe it's also necessary on OS X? I'm not running Linux at the moment, but maybe someone could try it out? It's unfortunate that there are such a daunting number of steps to get this thing running at this point. Not *so* many steps, but more than there should be. If I get a chance, I'll look into loading the socket policy file from a different port, and posting a modified version of both slimfx and the socket policy plugin. Can't promise that'll be any time soon, though. -- gsamsa gsamsa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=194 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32422 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

You can verify that the plugin is working by going to port 843 in your browser. E.g., http://SERVER.IP.ADDRESS.HERE:843. Or http://localhost:843, You should see cross-domain-policy... The CLI plugin should also be enabled, with port 9090. If that still doesn't work, another likely candidate is a firewall. Although I guess that shouldn't be an issue with localhost.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: slimfx - Flash-based Skin / Control App
OK. I think I've fixed the most recently reported problem relating to data not loading. At least on my setup, the problem was indeed caused by security changes in recent versions of the Flash player. Essentially, SWFs are no longer permitted to open sockets without explicit permission in the form of a policy file, which was preventing slimfx from accessing the CLI on port 9090. The solution is a SqueezeCenter plugin (attached) that serves up a socket policy file on port 843, the default port used by Flash player. I threw it together with little knowledge of Perl or SqueezeCenter plugin coding...it's basically just a modified simplified version of the CLI plugin. But as I said, it seems to work. I couldn't figure out a good general way to say allow access for SWFs loaded from this IP address, so the current policy file is: cross-domain-policy site-control permitted-cross-domain-policies=master-only/ allow-access-from domain=* to-ports=9090/ /cross-domain-policy You can change * to the IP address of your server for greater security, by modifying the policy file included with the plugin. Please let me know if that helps. If it doesn't, the most likely cause is a firewall issue. +---+ |Filename: SocketPolicy.zip | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=5357| +---+ -- gsamsa gsamsa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=194 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32422 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: slimfx - Flash-based Skin / Control App
Hey. Not really sure, but I have a theory about this, which is that changes to Flash Player in recent versions could have broken it. I know that more strict security policies were implemented for socket access, which slimfx uses to contact the CLI. (Details here: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/fplayer9_security.html.) I haven't actually read through that document carefully enough to verify if this is the case, or to figure out exactly how to fix the problem if it is. (If I've skimmed accurately, the likely solution is to enable serving up a policy file on port 843 from SqueezeCenter...not sure how easy this would be.) I haven't been using slimfx myself in a quite a while, so I haven't tested recently. (I haven't even been running SqueezeCenter in a couple weeks...just using SqueezeNetwork). But I just booted up the machine with SqueezeCenter, and sure enough, I have problems too. :-\ I'll try to take a look at this in the next couple weeks. I pretty much abandoned slimfx when I stopped working at Adobe a while back (and stopped working with Flex on a regular basis) -- I'm more interested in working on a native iPhone client at this point -- but I'll try to figure out what's necessary to get this fixed if at all possible. -- gsamsa gsamsa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=194 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32422 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

Mac OS X 10.5 users can run a selected part of the SlimFX skin as a dashboard widget. You can run the whole skin as one huge widget, just the player controls as a tiny widget or anything inbetween, incl. access to playlists etc. How to make a widget All that is needed is Safari 3 + Mac OS X 10.5. In Safari select File - Open in Dashboard and make your selection and then you have a very advanced SlimServer remote at hand. It also works with other skins, but a lot of skins jumps out of Dashboard to open Safari whenever you interact too much with them. SlimFX seems to work 100% in Dashboard.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: slimfx - Flash-based Skin / Control App
What is the directory structure for slimserver on the Infrant? You should have an HTML/ directory near the top of the slimserver hierarchy (eg, /usr/local/slimserver/HTML/). Or to put it more simply, find the location of other skins like Fishbone, Nokia770, and Touch. Then install slimfx so that 'slimfx' is at the same level as those other skins. And when you unzip the slimfx file, remember to preserve the directory structure that's saved in the zip file. Finally, you might need to restart slimserver for it to pick up the new skin, although I'm not sure about that. -- aubuti aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32422 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

So, like everyone else has said, thank you gsamsa for sharing your work! I've only got one question, and hopefully its just me being a bonehead. When I add songs into a playlist, move their order around and save the playlist, everything seems to work just peachy. But when I close and reopen the playlist, its order is all jumbled around. I've tried reordering my playlist three times (kind of tedious even w/ slimfx) but each time, the list loses the order I put it in. Is there some way to ensure playlists will stay in the order I put them in?

This sounds like it might be a different problem than what some other people are complaining about. It's weird. I'm assuming other Flash content is working for you, and you don't have some sort of Flash blocking plug-in at work. Could you try going directly to the address of the .swf file? I think that would be http://localhost:9000/slimfx/html/slimfx.swf Alternately, could you try clearing the browser cache? (Not sure why this would be an issue, but it's possible). I was actually seeing some weird behavior with Pandora in Firefox recently (in Windows) -- the Flash part was basically empty -- so I'm wondering if there's some sort of Flash/Firefox/Firefox extension issue. Incidentally, if the CLI is disabled or blocked by firewall, you should still see the skin load up...just without the data. -- gsamsa gsamsa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=194 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32422 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

Like it or not, OS X's (now slightly dated) Aqua UI, Vista's Aero UI, the even more advanced accelerated X server from xorg, and the countless examples of modern web-designs and applications using rounded corners, glassy surfaces, transperancy, reflections, shadows and animations, must give some hints as to what a modern UI behaves and looks like.

I am quite sure that the current interface leaves much to be improved. Not saying that the UI should be some insane cryengine2 thingy.

The slimfx interface could solve this pretty well I think. Another thing could be visual presentation of the music collection, i.e. albumart.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: slimfx - Flash-based Skin / Control App
OK, I think I've got the problem nailed. It shows up that on a new installation (10.4 instead of 10.3), I still cannot install SlimFX for SlimServer 6.5.1 / 6.5.2 At least not untill I remembered some instructions written in the iTunesUpdate software (never got that to work, but that's another story). Here it is noted that it may be necessary to place the plug-in inside username - library - PreferencePane - SlimServer (or in the global preferencepanes if SlimServer is installed for all users). Now, this is done by locating the PreferencePane, right-clicking on it and selecting Show Content. Then I navigate to the same HTML folder as is seen in the Preferences - SlimDevices folder, and place SlimFX here. And behold: IT WORKS AGAIN! So what has been found MUST BE A BUG IN THE SERVER since my original SlimServer install (6.5.1 alpha from November 2006). No matter what is placed in the SlimDevices preference folder, it is not identified by newer versions of the SlimServer. BUT...if it has been found with an old version of SlimServer (e.g. the real 6.5 release), then upgrades to 6.5.1 / 6.5.2 will keep seeing it (perhaps all new installed software in this location as well..I don't know). Does this make sense? Is this enough info, for the people developing this software to troubleshoot the Mac OS X version? Please let me know if this entry is enough to consider this filed as an official Bug Report (or if my report is dismissed, for that matter). No matter what - now I am home safe, and looking for next version of SlimFX.

I think it would be relatively trivial...you'd need a way of specifying which server to connect to, but other than that, there'd be hardly any changes. But I have to agree with Michael (Herger) that I don't see the value in it right now. You can access the file system in Apollo, possibly using that for caching. But startup is already reasonably quick. And you can incorporate HTML / web browsing -- which might let you access the existing SlimServer web interface within the app. But it would require a fair amount of work to integrate that in any reasonable way. Future versions of Apollo will have better multi-window support, which might open up some more possibilities for a desktop app (a separate now playing window, a minimal control panel, etc.) Nevertheless, if you have any development background, and want to make an Apollo version, give it a shot!

If you do this, what do you see? And could you do a view source on the blank page, and tell me what the results are? 3) What happens if you try going to http://yourservername:9000/slimfx/html/SlimFX.html, or http://yourservername:9000/slimfx/html/SlimFX.swf? 4) If you understand it, can you use a network monitor or better yet an http monitor (Fiddler is a good one for windows) to see exactly what is being returned when you go to http://yourservername:9000/slimfx/ ? And also try http://yourservername:9000/slimfx 5) Just for the hell of it, you might temporarily try renaming some skin you don't normally use, and changing the slimfx folder name to the name of that other skin, then trying to go to it there.

Also, feature request: Would it be possible to maybe have a drop down above or in each of the search filters in the columns to indicate the filter type? So for example, instead of Genre - Artist - Album being hardcoded, you could instead search as Genre - Composer - Year, or Genre - Album - Year, etc... (I have, for example, Jazz compilations where I actually have individual tracks with differing dates). One of the things I hate most in the default skin is that the step through of items to break down the current choice of music is hard coded in a way that isn't always convenient. So, maybe have the magnifying glass call up a drop down to select the filter type? This sounds useful, but it's not just a user interface issue. It's a question of server capabilities. Still, the idea of integrating with Erland's Custom Browse plugin has come up before, and that's getting at similar functionality (though probably in a somewhat different way). -- gsamsa gsamsa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=194 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32422 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: slimfx - Flash-based Skin / Control App
As those who have followed my notes on the SlimFX on Mac OS X will know, I have been unable to access the SlimFX interface on Mac OS X 10.3. One of the things I note when running my SlimServer on Mac OS X 10.3 is that I can add anything to the base URL without getting a real error message (e.g. http://localhost:9000/slimfx/blabla.html does not result in a page not found although blabla.html definately doesn't exist). On Mac OS X 10.4 this does indeed result in a Page Not Found. Noting the comment on the Perl version above, I checked on my Mac OS X 10.3 installation, and here I only have Perl 5.8.1. Could this be the cause of the error? That the Perl version is too old? Anyone who can point me to info regarding how to update my Perl installation on 10.3? Note that I do not have developer tools installed AFAIK.

Perl Version: 5.8.4 powerpc-linux-thread-multi Bad luck :-(. There have been reports of perl version prior to 5.8.6 to be buggy and crash with the CLI (see http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32502).

Working nicely for me on 6.5.1 Win/XP. My votes for future enhancement would be for internet radio and support for random mix.

Another vote for more efforts on SlimFx. orks great with Mac OSX 10.4 + Safari. This is leaps ahead in performance and simplicity for users, I agree with the last post - internet radio and random would make it complete. -- DaveWr DaveWr's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9331 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32422 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
