[SlimDevices: Plugins] Re: Plugin request -- Sleep
Having had a peaceful night - I can confirm that it worked for me. However, I know that this does not address the full requirement of the original poster. However, it is much closer to what I wanted to achieve. A change to PowerSave to make a Sleep option that would be essentially be the same as PowerSave/Always, except would only run once would make it easier to use in this guise. i.e. using PowerSave as a once-off Sleep request would require the user to go back into the PlugIn menu the next time that the Squeezebox was used and turn it off again otherwise the Squeezebox would get turned off in regular use. I'm away for a few days - but would happily look at doing this one return and would pass it back to you (jth) for review/inclusion. -- Paul Webster Paul Webster http://www.lastfm.com/user/BondJamesBond Paul Webster's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=105 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25294 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

[SlimDevices: Plugins] DVB-T Card Control (Non Alien BBC)
I live in UK and have a DVB-T card in my slimserver PC. I have been trying to remote control the card from the Squeezebox remote for some time. With the help of bpa and My Picks I have now got to the stage where I can now assign a single favourite key to a DVB-T radio channel and the DVB-T card changes channel and the SB displays the channel name and plays the appropriate channel on the SB at relatively high quality (Better than DAB/Not as good as top notch FM). I thought I'd share this here and see if anyone can take it a stage further by developing a dedicated plug-in which is beyond my capabilities. My foreshortened menu is 1 BBC World Service 2 BBC Radio 2 3 BBC Radio 3 4 BBC Radio 4 5 BBC Radio 5 Live 6 BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra 7 BBC 7 Of course this can be edited from any of the available DVB-T radio channels or even TV channel sound. The card is a Hauppauge Nova-T (90002 Variant) using My Theatre software and the AVBroadcaster plug-in to provide a web-server for changing the channel. (I believe My Theatre works on other DVB-T cards but I haven't checked any of them). The AVB broadcaster also streams TV but unfortunately does not stream radio only channels and is used here purely for it's channel changing function. My Theatre allows the construction of personalised graphs and a radio only graph can be created in which the TV/Video filters are not called up and the audio stream can be passed in the digital domain to an external program like Virtual Audio Cable. This stream is then fed to a shoutcast server through Winamp or a slightly better GUI/better encoding options is available in the Simplecast software. Playlists are created for EACH radio channel with a simple two line formula Line 1 webserver channel change Line 2 Shoutcast server output. Now a My Picks menu is created with a reference to each play list (Thanks bpa for sorting this out for me). Slimserver can't play the 1st line but sends the code to the web-server and changes the DVB-T Channel - it then moves on to the second line of the playlist and ensures that it listens to the output of the shoutcast server and displays the correct channel name. I have seen this as a Nice to Have on the wiki. Is there any interest? Does anyone want to take it further? Some suggestions for a single integrated plug-in: 1. Elimination of Shoutcast server and feeding of Virtual Audio Cable directly into slimserver and conversion from output stream to FLAC. (I think andyg has suggested this elsewhere). 2. Integration of My Picks like menu editing plug-in allowing two line options per menu item. -- ian_heys ian_heys's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2629 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26295 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

Your radio 5live test is not valid as it is in WMA whereas AlienBBC access uses Mplayer and RealAudio.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Alien BBC RTSP Convert error
I'm running SlimServer 6.3.1 - 8468 - Windows 2000 - EN - cp1252 against a Slimp3 firmware version 2.2. I've been using earlier versions of AlienBBC in this environment without any problems up to and including server version 6.2. However, with the latest install of the slim server and running the AlienBBC v1.05 installed with the Install pack for SlimServer 6.2.x and 6.3 I am now unable to play any BBC content on the slimp3. I get the error 'RTSP Convert error - check file types' Interestingly I do not get this error when I play on a remote laptop using SoftSqueeze so I'm not sure this is a server side problem. Can someone suggest what the issue is and what I should check.

Do you have lame.exe installed in the Bin directory?

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Re: Announce: InguzEQ / InguzDSP room correction
Thank you Inguz, good work there. If it works, it is surely better than buying a TACT. I have some different problems though - have you (or anyone) got a clue? SoftSqueeze When I use the setup with SoftSqueeze (2.8) I get something like pink noise and can only very faintly hear the original sound in the background. I had to dig out my retired Squeezebox 3 and then I got the sound (but not sounding very nice - see below). Could there be a setting somewhere within SoftSqueeze, do I need to get a later SoftSqueeze, SqueezeSlave or whatever - or will it simply not work with anything but a hardware Squeezebox? Tunnel-sound After installing the plugin with the newly created filters the sound could best be described as closed in or coming out of a tunnel. A bit boomy bass, lost a lot of the high frequencies etc. I tried different filters; Normal, Soft, NoCorrection etc with no major difference to the tunnel-sound. Only None took it back to normal sound. The measurement was done with a Behringer ECM8000 and it went reasonably smooth, no obvious problems. I had to turn down the preamp line level a bit to prevent clipping, so the live channel would no longer be on -6dB while I left the reference channel at -6dB (instructions didn't mention whether to change that as well or not). I noticed that the recorded wavefile looked very modulated and far from flat like the reference - I have no clue if this is normal. I tried saving recorded wave-files with and without the clicks at start and end (again: instruction not clear on this point). I tried bk-3-spline.txt as well as flat.txt for the target response, but no difference to the tunnel-sound. I do have a subwoofer (an old REL, of the type connected to the power amp output) so maybe I should have chosen something else here? I tried looking in the DRC manual.and gave up. What could I have missed? Equipment I normally don't use a Squeezebox. I have a professional sound card and I use SoftSqueeze for playing. The reason for this is to get master clock control and balanced outputs, none of which SB3 can handle (yes I know the new Transporter can do this, but I don't need the DAC there so it seems silly to pay for that). The souncard feeds an upsampler (dCS Purcell) which in turn feeds an external DAC (dCS Delius). I had to plug in my SqueezeBox to get past the pink noise problem and then I took the digital out from that and fed into the upsampler so I did not use the analog out from SB3 at all. -- CarlOtto CarlOtto's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3581 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26005 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

Now the slave doesn't want to do it anymore. All very odd, but I can live with it! I tried to setup the SoftSqueeze player synchronized with my SqueezeBox and the events TrackStat gets from slimserver is not what it expects. So if you are using the slave remote to control the music or do rating it's just luck that it's working at all. Would it be acceptable to have a setting in TrackStat where the user could specify if all or none of the players are synchronized ? The disadvantage of this solution would be if you have 3 SqueezeBox'es and 2 of them are configured as synchronized players and 1 is not part of the synchronization group.
