Hi, Sorry it's taken me a while to get to this. I don't think Rdio is available in the UK so can't test it. Assuming there's some kind of web or desktop player that works on your Mac, you could use that to start something playing, then use this plugin to tap in to that sound on your Squeezebox. Is that what you need?
If you want to experiment, I'm afraid there's a bit of setup to do! Unzip the attached file to your Squeezebox Server plugins directory (probably ~/Library/Application Support/Squeezebox/Plugins). Now you need to download the Mac OS version of SoX from http://sourceforge.net/projects/sox/files/sox/14.3.2/ , copy the sox binary from the archive into the Bin directory within the WaveInput directory you just created, and rename it to sox-14.3.2 (this is necessary to prevent the bundled, too-old sox being used). Now download and install the latest version of Soundflower from http://code.google.com/p/soundflower/downloads/list . You can now activate 'WaveInput' under the Plugins tab of the Squeezebox Server settings webpage. Create a favourite with URL wavin:soundflower . To stream audio, select 'Soundflower (2ch)' as the sound output device on your Mac (try Option-clicking the speaker icon top-right), and play the favourite on your Squeezebox. (If you look in the settings for the plugin you'll see I tried adding an option to automate switching the output device, but it seems it only works when you start the server manually from the preference pane. You could perhaps have Soundflower selected permanently, use the Soundflowerbed app to mirror the output back to your Mac's speakers, and set it as a login item.) I'll be away for the next week or so but hope this is enough to get you started - or perhaps decide it's not really worth the effort! +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: WaveInputMac-v100.zip | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=11994| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- shaydon ------------------------------------------------------------------------ shaydon's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=45630 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87023 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
