Hi - i was just wondering if getting Bio and Album Review ont eh SC is improved or working? Are there any instructions? You mean on the Controller?

Re: [slim] Biogrpahy and Album Review Display on Duet Controller?
Michael, I've been meaning to report a small problem in Biography on the SBC (3rd party stuff ain't bugzilla-material?). The issue is that it is not possible to get, what I assume should be, the fullscreen view of artist photos. I can only get to the thumbnail list. Clicking on the thumbnails results in the following in /var/log/messages: Code: Oct 13 22:20:57 SqueezeboxController user.err jive: (RequestHttp.lua:67) - Response sink:/usr/share/jive/jive/slim/SlimServer.lua:801: attempt to concatenate local 'iconId' (a nil value) stack traceback: /usr/share/jive/jive/utils/coxpcall.lua:28: in function /usr/share/jive/jiv Version: 7.3 - 23520 @ Sat Oct 11 03:09:14 PDT 2008 Jive-7.2r3080 Anyway, these two plugins alone makes the controller about 905% more useful :) Oh, and with the lyrics applet we are talking 1000%...

I've been using a locally patched version for a long time. We almost forgot to merge it into the repository... There will soon be a minor update which fixes a layout issue with very recent firmware SC versions.

AlbumReview and Biogrpahy show up under Extras. They just don't work. When I click on AlbumReview nothing happens; with Biogrpahy it goes to a blank screen. Please note that the interface is very crude. I've only spent a few hours, trying to get it work. But it would still need a lot of refinement. Please note that what you see might be just the waiting screen. Just leave it for a few seconds.

Re: [slim] Biogrpahy and Album Review Display on Duet Controller?
Bjorn, thanks for the instructions and files. I got the directory and its files (AlbumReviewApplet.lua, AlbumReviewMeta.lua and strings.txt) copied and they show up when i use putty to navigate to the directory ( /usr/share/jive/applets/AlbumrRview) and list the files using ls. Also both AlbumReview and Biogrpahy show up under Extras. They just don't work. When I click on AlbumReview nothing happens; with Biogrpahy it goes to a blank screen. I checked to make sure there was content available via the SC web interface for the currently playing song for both. I also checked to make sure that i was connecting to other services from the controller (like the RSS feeds). One note for the pscp command under windows: you must specify -scp otherwise it defaults to using -sftp which errors out. Anything you can think of that I may be doing wrong? Do I need to do something in the web interface settings (I looked around and did not see anything obvious) Thanks for all your trouble!

Re: [slim] Biogrpahy and Album Review Display on Duet Controller?
Thansk..but did not have much luck with the first method. I created a Plugins directory under the Plugins directory. In that directory I created another directory called biogrpahy. In that there are just 2 files: install.xml (from the original Bio direcory) and the single 'strings' file from the jive folder (i did not copy the acutal folder, just its contents). Restarted the server, nopthing shows up in the applet installer on the controller. Looked around the SC settings in the web interface, did not see anything On the second mehtod, what actual files should I put in the /usr/share/jive/applets folder? just the 'strings' file from the jive folder? that does not seem righti did install putty and the scp program and can login to the controller..not that i am familillar with trhese tools, but i shoudl be able to figure that part out. just need to know what files need to go in there. thanks very much.

Re: [slim] Biogrpahy and Album Review Display on Duet Controller?
In the jive directory you should see the Biography directory. In that directory there should be a few files. At least strings.txt and some files ending in .lua. Copy that Biography directory with those files to /usr/share/jive/applets so you get /usr/share/jive/applets/Biography/ with the strings and lua files. -- bhaagensen bhaagensen's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7418 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=46467 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Biogrpahy and Album Review Display on Duet Controller?
OK, I realise the directions are not that good, so I'll try again. 1. Get Biography and AlbumReview from the top of this page: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43713highlight=biographypage=4 Save and unzip to desktop. This should create a directory called AlbumReview on the desktop, where in particular the following directory hierarchy should exist: DESKTOP/AlbumReview/jive/AlbumReview In the last, or deepest, AlbumReview directory you should see: AlbumReviewApplet.lua AlbumReviewMeta.luastrings.txt This is the directory and contents you need to copy to /usr/share/jive/applets. 2. Get pscp.exe from: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html and save pscp.exe to desktop. 3. Open cmd.exe, the MS command line. 4. Change directory in the command line so desktop is the current directory. E.g. if you write 'dir' you should see the top level of the files you've unzipped. 5. I'm asssuming you know your controllers IP, and I'll call it SBC-IP. In the command line write: pscp.exe -r AlbumReview/jive/AlbumReview [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/share/jive/applets/ You should get prompted for the SBC password, 1234 by default. The -r option means recursively, i.e. the last AlbumReview directory including its contents. [EMAIL PROTECTED] means that the secure copy is being done by the root SBC user. I'm not 100% sure the syntax is correct, this is how it works in Linux. If you get errors try pscp.exe -h or pscp.exe -? to access the help for pscp. 6. Optional. Log into your SBC using putty and check that the AlbumReview with its contents is in fact in /usr/share/jive/applets/ 7. Restart the SBC. AlbumReview should now appear under Extras. The procedure for Biography is similar. Hope you can get it to work. It is a REALLY nice application perfect for the SBC. -- bhaagensen bhaagensen's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7418 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=46467 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

My problem now is getting the right files - when i download the files from the link you provided I get 'not a valid archive' with winzip and a different error with winrar. the jive folder on michael's site only has the strings file in it.If you could send them to me, my gmail address is [EMAIL PROTECTED] let me know how else i may get them. i have been a big fan of these plugins for years and would love to get them to work on the controller! thanks again.
