Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] MusicIP on QNAP TS-209
As far as I know MusicIP is only distributed in binary form for x86 CPU's. This means that you will be able to run it on a NAS based on a x86 CPU but you won't be able to run it on the the QNAP (since it don't have a x86 CPU). I'm not sure if there are any NAS boxes besides home built that use x86 CPU's. A Mini-ITX solution feels optimal for this kind of usage as already suggested earlier in the thread. By the way, even if it was possible to run MusicIP on the QNAP NAS I have a feeling you would get a pretty slow system due to the fact that both MusicIP and SqueezeCenter would have to share the limited amount of primary memory in the box. -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.isaksson.info) 'My download page' (http://erland.isaksson.info/download) (Developer of 'TrackStat, SQLPlayList, DynamicPlayList, Custom Browse, Custom Scan, Custom Skip, Multi Library and Database Query plugins' (http://wiki.erland.isaksson.info/index.php/Category:SlimServer)) erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=54034 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

[SlimDevices: Plugins] MusicIP on QNAP TS-209
I'm contemplating the purchase of a QNAP TS-209 Pro. In addition to being used as a network drive/printer server, I want to use it as my music server using SqueezeCenter 7.0. I understand that Squeezecenter can run on the NAS but I also want to use MusicIP. I cannot imagine using Squeezecenter without MusicIP. I haven't been able to find any info on running MusicIP on the NAS. My current system consists of 3 SB3s hooked up wirelessly to a Vista (64 bit) computer, a 500 GB external HD with 13802 FLAC files. SqueezeCenter and MusicIP (headless) are running on the computer. The QNAP TS-209 will allow me to have access to my music server without running the computer. Maybe that's not the best way to do things. I've heard that some folks have issues of slow speed when using a NAS. Any advice will be greatly appreciated. -- Dukeisaac Dukeisaac's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10119 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=54034 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

Some screensavers (for example the snow screensaver) automatically take over both displays as soon as the designated screensaver sleep time has been reached. Could you explain the thinking behind "waking up" MusicInfoSCR only when the VISUAL button has rotated the visualization selection to MusicInfoSCR, rather than the more common screensaver paradigm of "waking up" after a designated time? This seems particularly awkward in the case of the Transporter, because the Logitech remote for the Transporter doesn't have a VISUAL button, so to rotate the visualization selection you have to be physically at the Transporter. Also, going back to my point about "waking up" the screensaver; as I scrolled through the various visualization selections (by pressing the VISUAL button) I was expecting to see my MusicInfoSCR settings for the second (or right-hand) display shown on the second (right-hand) display, and that's why I was surprised to instead see the 'Now Playing' screen jump over from the left-hand display. Maybe MusicInfoSCR could check whether a second display has been configured and use that as the screensaver 'preview'? mherger;351704 Wrote: > EXT will display the extension only.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: SpiceFly FreeStyler - MIP with BPM plugin
SpiceFly - FreeStyler - Copyright 2008 Charles Parker Initially Developed by Charles Parker - http://www.spicefly.com/ Split from SugarCube 1.7.1 What FreeStyler does; FreeStyler works like SugarCube in that it utilise MusicIP to pull a list of recommended tracks from the current playing track and then tries to line up a new track that closely matches the BPMs of the current playing track, within a tolerance range. Why the split, this is a breakaway plugin and seperate from SugarCube, ultimately because BPM matching might suck and not work nicely at all! It might also be worth dropping the MIP side completely and hit the database directly to find suitable BPMs? This is being released in the hope that other devs will pick it up and take this forward. It is a proof of concept rather than a finished plugin and I'm *not* looking to develop it all myself! *I would NOT recommend that this is installed on a live system* Once installed, enable it and just play a track, this will then become the seed track and your journey begins through your music library. Version 0.1 Alpha - Dev Release - 21st October 2008 + Initial split out from SugarCube See lines approx 614 for the BPM functions which are very rusty Pre-Reqs **IMPORTANT** - 1) Your music must already have calculated BPMs inside the tags. (DONT ASK in this thread - Use Google if you dont know how to do this) 2) Using Custom Scan you must already have the BPMs populated into the SC database See http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/Setup_support_for_custom_tags Additionally see the png file included in the zip 3) Use Custom Browse to check that you can see the tracks and their BPMs! ### NOTE; This is alpha developer release, it should only be used in a development environment and not against a live environment. ### Some of the functionality doesnt work, especially around the duplication track side of things, it will quite easily get stuck between 2 or 3 tracks (as they are close BPM matches!)

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Spicefly SugarCube (Automatic MusicIP DJ)
SugarCube talks to MIP directly via the MIP HTTP API, so I dont have the MusicIP plugin enabled any more which keeps MIP away from the SC database so no scanning required. So I cant speak for the official MIP scanning process... its so last season! ;) -- cparker www.spicefly.com - Visit for an enhanced Interface for MusicIP and integration tips and tricks, Plugin coding tips, Spicefly SugarCube the MIP AutoDJ plugin and Spicefly Weather! cparker's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2083 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49226 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Password Protect Remote Players
Hi all, My SC installation is hosted so I can access it from "unknown" network locations whilst I'm travelling for work. This installation is only for me so I have a username/password combination on the SC web interface. But I cannot find a way to "authorise" any remote slimdevices player which might want to connect (real of software based). Right now it looks like anyone could scan my server IP address, find that SC ports are open and point their player to my IP address, although they wouldn't be able to access the web interface - what is stopping them from browsing my collection via the player's GUI? Is there an add-on available to wrap some security around what players can connect??

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] AlienBBC stopped working
The 500 is HTTP error "Internal Server error" and is usually a BBC error. I got it occasionally during testing when pages for some categories weren't available. BBC have changed the "schedule" HTML slightly showing more future days (which have no programs recorded) but I didn't get any 500 error code. As a check see can you access the same page from the iPlayer Radio stations website listings. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=54014 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

[SlimDevices: Plugins] AlienBBC stopped working
Trying to get the schedules for various BBC programs. All I get at the moment is 500 Generated error Does this point to a problem at the BBC end or at mine? Problem persists after a restart SC 7.2, Mac OS 10.5.5 with latest security update. Also, occasionally I find that a stream won't play and the log indicates a problem. That's usually solved by restarting, so I haven't bothered about it - hence my vagueness and lack of log info on this. -- danco danco's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=210 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=54014 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

However, I noticed an unexpected effect; the 'Now Playing' screen shifted over to the right display as I cycled through the 'Visual' settings. As soon as the screensaver kicked in the 'Now Playing' screen went back to the left display and my MusicInfoSCR configured second display was shown correctly on the right. Is this shifting of the 'Now Playing' screen expected behavior? Also, I have a request: is it possible to display the filetype of the currently playing song? I would like the right display to show Artist, Album, kbps and filetype (or file-extension). There's a MusicInfoSCR setting called something like 'file.ext', but it seems to show the entire filename which isn't the behavior I'm looking for.
