It would take some effort to add support for a different RS232
protocol; right now it's *very* much focused on Denon. I made no effort
to abstract out the protocol details -- it's not $amp->checkVolume(),
but rather &enqueue('MV?'). Can you point me to specs on the Tact
protocol/syntax/etc?
The code is in my "testing" repository now:
http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/slim7/repodata-test.xml Manual downloads
from http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/slim7/TESTING/DenonSerial/
It depends on some CPAN modules that come bundled with the plugin; if
you're running something other than Windows or Linux on x86/x64
hardware, you may need to install Device::SerialPort (source comes with
the plugin). The zip file is big mainly because it includes pre-compiled
Device::SerialPort .so files for Perl 5.8 and 5.10 on 32- and 64-bit
Linux. The install metadata file says it'll run on SqueezeCenter 7.2 and
later, and I think it should, but I've only tested on 7.3 and 7.4.
On my dev box I've been fiddling with multi-zone support -- there's no
reason you couldn't hook several Squeezeboxes to one Denon amp and use
it for multi-zone distribution -- but the code I'm running on my main
system, and what's in the testing repo, only understands the main/master
zone. And I have not yet written a web page describing the features;
like many other plugins, this is very much created to take care of my
own personal needs. I only added the "Network address"/telnet and
"Remote system"/CLI notification support because it was relatively easy.
(And I'm still not sure the telnet support works; nobody with that gear
has given me feedback yet.)
