I just hit an ugly bug that threatens this whole commands-in-playlist idea: http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=16188
Essentially, the Squeezebox Server scanner does not, and cannot, recognize any protocols other than those that ship with the software. You can build a playlist with custom protocol URLs in the SBS web interface, but if you ask SBS to rescan the library, it will not recognize your (properly registered and 100% playable!) custom URL protocol in the M3U playlist, and if you try playing your playlist, SBS will skip your custom protocol lines. If you're running the Perl version of SBS, you can manually hack the scanner.pl application, adding your protocols to the @handlers array that's declared around line 370. That's the only way I've found so far to make this viable, which means that unless SBS is improved, custom protocols in playlists will only be usable by moderately geeky Linux/Mac users and extremely geeky Windows users. :-( -- peterw http://www.tux.org/~peterw/ Free plugins: 'AllQuiet' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/AllQuiet.html) 'Auto Dim/AutoDisplay' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/AutoDisplay.html) 'BlankSaver' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/BlankSaver.html) 'ContextMenu' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/ContextMenu.html) 'DenonSerial' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/DenonSerial.html) 'FuzzyTime' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/FuzzyTime.html) 'KidsPlay' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/KidsPlay.html) 'KitchenTimer' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/KitchenTimer.html) 'PlayLog' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/PlayLog.html) 'PowerCenter/BottleRocket' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/PowerCenter.html) 'SaverSwitcher' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/SaverSwitcher.html) 'SettingsManager' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/SettingsManager.html) 'SleepFade' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/SleepFade.html) 'StatusFirst' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/StatusFirst.html) 'SyncOptions' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/SyncOptions.html) 'VolumeLock' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/VolumeLock.html) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ peterw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2107 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78259 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
