[slim] Use a MAC as Receiver, Possible?
Hello, I would like to know if anyone has tried to remote a MAC with Squeezecontroller in order to use the MAC as a Squeezebox Receiver ? Is it possible or just a dream ? The point is to be able to use an internal sound card (such as Lynxstudio or RME HDSP) with high resolution rate (24bits/192khz) -- Gregouille Gregouille's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37442 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=84040 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Use a MAC as Receiver, Possible?
Have you tried Squeezeplay (which emulates a stand alone Squeezebox)? I am mostly using it as a remote for my Squeezeboxes (much faster than the web ui btw). It is also able to act as regular SB client and works fine with MacOS X 10.6.5. -- copperstate copperstate's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34756 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=84040 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] SqueezeSlave: External USB audio interface (Mac OS X)
I attached code and configuration files to this post. It's quite a bunch of little puzzle pieces, but I like it that way because it's in fact not restricted to a use in the squeezeslave context, but more of a generic USB event handler triggering any kind of actions. Feel free to comment or change anything you would do different (C or Bash code, error handling, permissions, paths, etc.). INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 1. The content of the folder Application Support goes to /Library/Application Support. 2. The binary usb-detect goes to /usr/local/bin. 3. Modify the user permissions, product ID, vendor ID, and audio device ID according to your situation. In the zip, we have the following components: BIN/USB-DETECT A compiled executable which detects (dis)connects of a specified USB device. It runs on my OS X 10.6 Intel Mac mini. (No idea whether the binary is universal or downward compatible; did I mention that I don't know much about Mac programming? :-) It accepts the two decimal integer parameters vendor ID and product ID, which for my USB DAC looks like Code: /usr/local/sbin/usbdetect 3468 12 The vendor ID 3468 (hex 0x0d8c) and product ID 12 (hex 0x000c) of my USB DAC I could tell from the following command: Code: system_profiler SPUSBDataType [...] C-Media USB Headphone Set : Product ID: 0x000c Vendor ID: 0x0d8c (C-MEDIA ELECTRONICS INC.) [...] SRC/MAIN.C Source code for detection of USB devices. It has to be linked with the frameworks CoreFoundation and IOKit. It's based upon the Apple code on http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#samplecode/USBPrivateDataSample/Introduction/Intro.html APPLICATION SUPPORT/USB-DETECT/USB-DETECT.PLIST A sample launchd service parameterization file. It runs an instance of the usb-detect binary for my USB DAC. APPLICATION SUPPORT/USB-DETECT/VENDOR-3468-PRODUCT-12/DEVICE-ADDED This script restarts the squeezeslave service by changing to folder /Library/Application Support/squeezeslave and running the script Code: /Library/Application Support/squeezeslave./restart 2 The 2 stands for the audio device ID squeezeslave associates to the USB DAC and can be infered from Code: squeezeslave -L * 1: (Core Audio) Built-in Output (1/10) 2: (Core Audio) C-Media USB Headphone Set (2/29) APPLICATION SUPPORT/USB-DETECT/VENDOR-3468-PRODUCT-12/DEVICE-REMOVED Same as device-added. The reason for this is that the restart action will effectively shut down the service if the audio device is not available, see below. APPLICATION SUPPORT/SQUEEZESLAVE/SQUEEZESLAVE A wrapper script for the squeeslave binary. Example: Code: /Library/Application Support/squeezeslave./squeezeslave 2 checks whether the audio device 2 is up and launches an instance of squeezeslave for that device on mac 00:00:00:00:00:02 if the device is up. APPLICATION SUPPORT/SQUEEZESLAVE/START Accepts a command line parameter for the audio device ID and launches a service running a squeezeslave instance dedicated to this output: Code: /Library/Application Support/squeezeslave./start 2 The parameter 2 tells the script to use squeezeslave.2.plist as the service definition file, see below. If the service doesn't come up for some reason (in my case, the main reason is when the USB device is not connected), it shuts down the service right away. APPLICATION SUPPORT/SQUEEZESLAVE/STOP The antagonist of Application Support/squeezeslave/start. Code: /Library/Application Support/squeezeslave./stop 2 APPLICATION SUPPORT/SQUEEZESLAVE/RESTART Combines stop with a subsequent start: Code: /Library/Application Support/squeezeslave./restart 2 APPLICATION SUPPORT/SQUEEZESLAVE/SQUEESLAVE.[12].PLIST Service definition files for audio device 1 and 2, respectively. +---+ |Filename: usb-detect.zip | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=11024| +---+ -- nikipore nikipore's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41997 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=83994 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

[slim] SB2 Bricked since update
Hi there. The other day there was an update on all my Squeezeboxes, the Boom, Radio and possibly my old SB2. Though, I can't really tell with the SB2 since it seems bricked since the update. After the Boom updated, I noticed the display (clock) go out and since then it has been a blank screen. Remote has no effect. If I pull out the power and connect back in, I do get the Logitech flash screen. It then briefly says it is obtaining an IP address, and then blank screen. Has anyone else had this? Is there a reset I can force on the device?

The main reason is probably that their support staff also supports
other Logitech products than Squeezebox so it's good to them to have
everything collected in one place instead of scattered on different web
sites.
There is no link from Logitech web site to the slimdevices.com forum
because Logitech probably want the people to stay on their official
logitech.com forum.

Yes, most people in this community have the same feeling.
The structure on the logitech.com forum site would never work for
Squeezeboxes if all current community members started to post there,
its structure has been designed for support staff - customer
communication but not for customer - customer communication as on
the slimdevices.com forum.

Re: [slim] [ANNOUNCE] SqueezeCommander 0.9 for Android
Hi Christian, There are (for now) 4 things I would really like to see in Squeeze Commander: 1. Use cover art that is embedded in the file. Most of my cover art is like this but doesnt seem to play? 2. Have a part mode like ipeng, where certain tasks can be disabled. e.g. users can add to the playlist but cant delete tracks, skip or pause a song. 3. Be able to use squeeze commander as a player... this would mean I can remove audio galaxy from my phone and pc! 4. Support for tablets... I know this is a little way off yet but Ive been fantasising about having an android tablet mounted to a wall so that during parties there is a simple large interface to control the music! Hope these suggestions are useful. One more thing... is it possible to switch servers without manually doing it on the box? Currently I have to switch to the correct server on my boom and then connect through commander.
