When testing the mplayer garbled audio bug I found that the BBC occassionally changes URL for a short time late at time (UK time) presumably for some sort of engineering works (as usually the hosting server changed as well). Sometimes the URL broke AlienBBC and sometimes the page caching of AlienBBC caused problems.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Custom IR maps - available function/menu items list
I posted this in the developer's forum and didn't get a single reply. Perhaps I smell. I thought I might have more luck here. Maybe I'm asking too much, but where's the documentation? It's a great product, but everytime I want to do something I have to post in this forum and wait to see if someone might reply. So far I've had to spend several hours troubleshooting and digging to find answers that should at least be documented somewhere. Maybe it exists and I haven't found it yet, but I have asked more than once. I'm working with an RU-950 (BW European ProntoNG). I've come across a couple of issues and solved them http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21523, but looking at the IR debug file has raised a couple of questions: 1. How long does the Squeezebox need the remote button to be held down to see a button as a repeating rather than single push? 2. How do I define custom menu items in the .map file? For example I'd like a descrete button to go to the AlienBBC plugin, and a number of discrete buttons to go straight to radio stations - for example if I wanted to set up a panel on my Pronto with buttons for the live streams of Radio 1, Radio 2, Radio 3, etc. Tim -- timmorris timmorris's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4147 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21608 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
RE: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Custom IR maps - available function/menuitems list
Hi Tim, I was expecting someone else to reply but no-one has so I'll tell you what I know... The documentation is within SlimServer, in the web interface select Technical Documentation then Button Mapping This covers the holding time length question. I think to add commands for a specific plugin you add a section [Plugin.Pluginname] The plugin name is, I think, by default the name of the Perl module the plugin lives in. For example Random Mix would be [PLUGIN.RandomPlay::Plugin] I don't think the documentation is great ( the More to come... at the end of the page has been there as long as I can remember)and this is not discussed on the wiki at all. Perhaps a good topic to add, and everyone can contribute their favourite custom IR map commands? James NOTICE: If received in error, please destroy and notify sender.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Re: Announce: Plugins for rating and smart playlists using SQL
I've got this SQLPayList working against SlimServer 6.2.1 on Windows XP
running against a MySQL 4.1 back end. My database is linked to iTunes 5
and rescans nightly.
I've built a playlist file as follows:
Code:
-- PlaylistName: Unplayed Music
SELECT t.url /* , t.title, g.name, t.playCount */
FROM tracks t
LEFT JOIN genre_track gt ON t.id = gt.track
LEFT JOIN genres g ON gt.genre = g.id
WHERE g.name NOT IN ('Classical','Books Spoken','Podcast','Musicals')
AND t.playcount is null
ORDER by rand() limit 10;
It seems to work fine except that all playcount values in the tracks
table are null.
Should the playcount values be coming from iTunes? Or am I missing
something else?
Thanks for any help.

The tracks table will be cleared each time you perform a full rescan in slimserver, so if you perform a full rescan every night the playcount column in the tracks table will be set to null every night. So if you want to use the playcount in the tracks table you will somehow need to transfer the play counts from iTunes to slimserver after the full rescan every night. I'm not sure if the iTunes plugin or the iTunesUpdate plugin is able to do this. Another way is to use the TrackStat plugin, it will store the playcounts in a separate table (track_statistics) which is not cleared during rescan. TrackStat can import playcounts from iTunes in the TrackStat web interface, there is however no built-in functionallity in TrackStat to do this automatically every night. Also it will simply overwrite the playcounts existing in slimserver with the iTunes playcounts, so if you need it to calculate a new playcount based on both the iTunes and slimserver playcount in some way this is not possible with TrackStat today. -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.homeip.net) 'My download page' (http://erland.homeip.net/download) erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20533 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Re: Announce: XM Radio Plugin 1.0 (with Skins)
I do not believe that WMA needs Lame to play on softsqueeze. But you will need WMADEC running on your system that has the slimserver. WMADEC *should* run automatically. (WMADEC is a program that comes with the slim server which translates WMA streams into WAV streams. Lame is a program which translates WAV streams into MP3 streams -- you need to download and install lame separately if you need it). What I would recommend is that you try streaming another non-protected WMA station, and see if that plays. If it does, but XM does not, then we can investigate a problem with the XM plugin. If another WMA station doesn't work either, then the problem is with your slimserver setup for WMA. An example non-protected WMA stream is San Francisco's own KFOG. Try streaming the following url: http://www.streamaudio.com/stations/asx/KFOG_FM.asx To do this, copy this full URL. Go to the Radio Tune In section of your slim server web interface, and paste the URL in there and punch Tune In. If it plays, then get back to me and we can investigate the problem with XM. If it doesn't play, then you'll need help getting WMA set up. -- philf philf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3159 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21435 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Re: Announce: Plugins for rating and smart playlists using SQL
This thread seemed like the right place to ask this question. Can you dynamically control the Slimserver's playlist? Some background. I've written a program very similar to this plugin, but totally standalone. It tracks a songs play history, ratings, etc. However, the key difference is after each song is played, it dynamically chooses the next song. This has allowed me to create a really excellent non-repeating radio station of sorts. It knows what band/genre the last song was and can make an effort to pick a different or similar song depening on your settings. You can set the ratios for each rating, ie. I want to hear 5's 20%, 4's 30%, etc. The real key is that it's not a pre-generated playlist, it uses the criteria to narrow the list of songs to choose from and then selects randomly. This makes it quite random. I've used it for 2 years now and would love to integrate the same selection mechanism to my slim server. It sounds like your plugin already stores the data I use, and mines written mostly with SQL queries (SQL 2000). I could adapt them to MySQL. The key is whether you can dynamically choose a new song and add it to the playlist in realtime. Thoughts? Would this be possible, has it been done already? -- gbronzer gbronzer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4279 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20533 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
