Dear all, I have written a SqueezeCenter plugin named "Cover Feed", attached to this message.
The idea of this plugin is to feed covers to a RSS client like a digital photo frame. This idea is not new, I just discovered a thread on this topic here. Few photo frames support RSS and the ones that do (by e.g. eStarling, D-Link) are not cutting it yet. RSS feeds are by no means standardized well. But they are immensely popular at social media sites which gives the RSS standard momentum. My guess is that we will see devices with proper RSS support hitting the shops before long. And when they do we like to get our album art on there. Well, at least I do. The plugin provides an Atom based RSS feed per connected player. It only returns the cover of the currently playing song. The feed is then updated when the next song is played. The RSS client must check for updates frequently to get the desired result (cover matching the song being played). Maybe someone here likes to give it a spin and give me feedback. When Cover Feed is installed it can be found in the "Extras" menu. The first thing to check is whether the feed is working properly by clicking it. Your browser has RSS support built-in, so that is check #1. regards, Tom +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: CoverFeed10BETA.zip | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=12498| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- warpian ------------------------------------------------------------------------ warpian's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=49534 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=90375 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
