Brilliant!

I was just about to post a message re: missing items since upgrading to

Nice!

I've been working on a fix to the 7.3 incompatability issues over the
last few days. Fixes are done but the plugin is not yet fully tested.
Nevertheless, given that 7.3 is now released, I'll try to get a beta

2008-12-14 Thread Jarmo Toivanen

Just made a clean install sc 7.3, and AlienBBC.

I found a setting line for the TriColorLed plugin in v7.3 squeezecenter
settings menu. But when i choose the tricolor plugin it only shows up
as a grey menu and i have no choiche to make.

Wonder what it takes to get the plugin to work.

Settings-Player-BasicSettings-TriColorLED.

Oh, I forgot to mention that ContextMenu settings doesn't show up under

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] aac streams on SC 7.2: where does mplayer go on a mac?

2008-12-14 Thread whitman

I've been using my SB3 with the shiny new AACplus streams for a few days
now, and I notice that when a station (such as Paradise) has the
facility to provide a readout on the SB of what's playing (after you
press Now Playing), it takes quite a while for the Now Playing readout
to change to match the actual playing track. In other words, there's a
delay between the song changing and the readout changing. Is there
anything I can do at my end to fix the delay? It wasn't like this when
I was using 6.5.x - in fact it was a more or less instant change.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] aac streams on SC 7.2: where does mplayer go on a mac?

2008-12-14 Thread bpa

It's a known problem due to fact that SC doesn't know SB is playing a
Flac stream - SC thinks it is a slow AACplus (e.g. 128 or 48k bit)
streams as guesses the amount of music time in the SB buffer wheras
SB has a 1500kbps Flac stream and has about 10 or 20 times less music
time buffered.  Problem is much worse with slow streams.

AACplus hooks into SC in an unapproved way to enable the radio text
to be displayed - if I used the Normal transcodiong like Alien -
there would be no text at all.  The method also meant a full blown
Plugin did not have to be developed. I do not want to maintain another
plugin.

I might be able to do something in 7.3 as there have been changes which
look promising.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] iPeng support thread

2008-12-14 Thread garym

1.0.4 seems to have solved my issues. My 4000 albums load reasonably
quickly (from SC7.3 on readynas duo), with the correct album art, and
don't have to be reloaded each time I start ipeng.  Maybe just my
imagination, but the response time on using ipeng seems a little
faster.  I have only one remaining minor point that I mentioned a while
back. When I look at all albums for an artist, albums containing songs
where the artist is ONLY listed as a composer also show up. The options
to do this on purpose within SC are turned OFF, so I'm not sure why
ipeng is classifying them in this way. But this is a very minor point.
Good job Pippin!

pippin;369981 Wrote:

 Yes. The problem is that the The The issue
 (http://penguinlovesmusic.de/?page_id=239) just came in on 1.0.3 upon
 fixing the sort issue of 1.0. 1.0 didn't have that, actually The The

 The issue with the albums not loading is a race condition that came in
 upon moving the table sorting to a separate thread to improve
 performance while loading large libraries. The performance actually got
 much better on 1.0.4, I hope it shows up on the App Store later today
 (yet I can't really know).

Can you confirm what is says when you say mplayer is not installed? 
Thinking about it the mplayer installed information on the settings

Does it actually play real streams or do you also get an error when you

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] 7.3: updates for SaverSwitcher, SyncOptions, PlayLog, and others

2008-12-14 Thread Phil Meyer
The easiest way to get up-to-date when you're running SqueezeCenter 7.3
is to delete my plugins from your normal Plugins directory and use the
web  Settings  Extension Downloader with my extension respository
URL, http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/slim7/repodata.xml -- Extension
Downloader not only simplifies installation, but also learning about 
applying updates.

I prefer manual install.

I added your repo to Extension Downloader, and it doesn't seem to list all of 
your plugins listed from your web page (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/#slim).

eg. I know I have manually installed ContextMenu.  i.e. ContextMenu does not 
show up as either an available plugin or a manually installed plugin.

I would love it if Extension Downloader could indicate if a newer version of a 
manually installed plugin were available.  I could then follow the link and 
update manually.  But I don't think it does that at the moment.

Lots of things see announcement but there was a rewrite of the streaming
(incl. transcoding) module which improves the sync capabilities.  I
think the rewrite can enable me to tell SC that that trnascoding to
Flac is being used and so

A beta feature is enabling SB controller to be a SB player and so user
can use SC/listen through earbuds on a portable SB.

The other feature (which will be better in 7.3.1) is Extensions
Download - basically automated Plugin installation - no more downloads,
unzips and wondering where to save.

'sleep' play function of the SqueezeBox and then initiate a shutdown
using the SrvrPowerCtrl menu.  The shutdown will be deferred until the

Method 2:  Go to 'Settings-Plugins-Server Power Control' and select
'Monitor Idle Players' and set the 'Action to take after idle time' to
your desired action: shutdown, suspend, etc.  With this method, the
plugin periodically checks to see if any of your players are playing.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] 7.3: updates for SaverSwitcher, SyncOptions, PlayLog, and others

2008-12-14 Thread Phil Meyer
is the only problem with Extension Downloader the lack of
ability to set the location?

It's not the only problem.  I have a lot of plugins installed.  I keep on the 
bleeding edge of development.  One of the problems I see is that a lot of 
plugins have a maxVersion check, and thus would not available for installation, 
even though they work with the latest SC trunk code.

I tweaked the code to just report a warning in the log if maxVersion was 
exceeded.  Other users tweak the install.xml to get them to run.  But with 
Extension Downloader, I guess you don't get an option - you can't install them 
(are they even listed?).

I'd prefer it if maxVersion were only set by plugin developers if they know for 
certain what the max version is.  Even then, the plugin may work with limited 
capability past the max version (some functionality may not work, but may not 
cause SC problems).  I prefer to disable plugins (or move plugins out of the 
plugin folder) only if they cause problems.

Now that 7.3 is released I hope to add a
command line option to set the plugin location for extension downloader
to install to, would this fix it?

Likely to be --extensionsdir

That would be great.  A prefs file setting would be good too, with 
--extensionsdir overriding the prefs setting.

If I set that to the Server/Plugins folder, would the extension downloader be 
in harmony with manually installed plugins - i.e. allow them to be 
uninstalled/updated as if they had been installed via the extension downloader?

It sounds like SC is trying to get to where it really needs to be: a
place where users can install things easily without pulling out too
much hair in the process. Assuming one has any hair left in the first
place. 

Seriously: this sounds like a good development.

I'm still enmeshed in the pain of very recent upgrading to 7.2.x from

What directories does the different directory parameters in the Custom

Have you only specified a directory in the Browse configuration
directory parameter or is also the rest of directory parameters filled
with a value. If you have entered directory parameters in the Custom
Browse settings they should typically point to different directories. 
If they already do, does any of them point to a directory that contains
something else than Custom Browse files ?
Does it work if you only have a value if the Browse configuration
directory parameter ?

Another thing that could cause problem is if you have many libraries
defined with the Multi Library plugin. To make sure this isn't the
problem, could you try to temporary disable the Multi Library plugin
but still have Custom Browse enabled ?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] aac streams on SC 7.2: where does mplayer go on a mac?

2008-12-14 Thread bpa

The automated installer will be very good as it should simplify
installs, make sure correct versions are installed and notify when
updates are available.  However it will still depend on the extension
author to create the right package and since this is a new facility - I
expect some teething problem with initial implementation

For people who want least amount of stress 
- do complete system backups often.
- Use a mainstream platform - not a minority one.
- Do not install unnecessary s/w (i.e. no trials, demos etc) or
addons.
- don't tweak the system for any reason (e.g. not for faster download
or uses less memory or more responsive)
- never upgrade unless you really have to (i.e. the upgrade has a
definite bug fix - not it might fix it)
- never install a .0 - so in this case wait for 7.3.1
- if you must upgrade, allow some time (a few weeks) between release
and actually upgrading.

I first tried the test version, where you had to edit the file to * ,

with SqueezeCenter 7.0 to 7.2.
It looks like this :

Anyway, I contacted Hugh, and he found out it has to do with the

Hi,

genre and bitrate are possible today, first define the appropriate
format (settings-interface-title format), e.g GENRE for genre or KBPS
for bitrate and then use this format within MusicInfoSCR/Titleswitcher.

What capabilities do you miss?

That might very well be your best bet. 

Again, I have zero Ubantu or debian experience...and, for that matter,
limited experience in mounting nas shares from linux.  On my Fedora
box, I think I would try an approach like this:

Assuming that you are using pm-suspend to get into S3 sleep, create a
15nas script in /etc/pm/sleep.d:

Code:


  #!/bin/bash
  
  # unmount networkshare on QNAP 109 II NAS before going to standby.
  # re mount the share when coming out of suspend..
  #
  # Note that this file belongs in /etc/pm/sleep.d/15nas and must be executable
  
  . /usr/lib/pm-utils/functions
  
  
  unmount_nas() {
  /bin/umount /mnt/nas_mount_point
  }
  
  remount_nas() {
  /bin/mount -t nfs qnap_ip:/sharepoint /mnt/nas_mount_point
  
  }
  
  
  
  case $1 in
  hibernate|suspend)
  unmount_nas
  ;;
  thaw|resume)
  remount_nas
  ;;
  *)
  ;;
  esac
  
  exit $?
  


That script assumes that you connect to the qnap using nfs.  Again,
given my limited experience, I don't know if that is likely to be the
case.

Anyway, I'm cribbing this idea from Syburgh's WindPC wiki:
http://wiki.syburgh.com/audio0-local#toc22

..and for all I know, autofs might take care of all this for you
automatically.

To specifically answer your question, yes, it is possible.  The command
line that SrvrPowerCtrl executes to initiate suspending can point to
anything, including your own script.  It just has to be executable by
the squeezecenter user via permissions in /etc/sudoers.  

So yes, you could write a script that umounts before calling
pm-suspend.  However, SrvrPowerCtrl, at this stage in it's development,
doesn't have a clue when a system comes out of suspend.  So it's not
like it will be smart enough to remount the qnap's share when the
system wakes up.  

So, I'd try the methods outlined in the previous posts.  They're
independent of SrvrPowerCtrl and directly tied into the suspend/wake
events on your system.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Trackstat/Custom Scan Export: Missing Data

2008-12-14 Thread heidtheba

Many track ratings which are shown in my SC web interface are for some
reason not being exported to the TrackStat_iTunes_Complete.txt file
using Erland's Custom Scan plugin. Why would this be so?

For example, I have rated all of the tracks in a Fleet Foxes album in
the last 2 weeks. But there are no lines in the export file showing
this rating data- there is only data showing when they were last
played, e.g.:

Ragged Wood|||C:\Documents and Settings\Steven\My Documents\My Music\E
to L\Fleet Foxes - Fleet Foxes\03 ragged
wood.mp3|played|20081214202306|100


That is not to say there is no rating data at all- there are plenty
other instances where the ratings have been recorded, e.g.:

No Easy Love|||C:\Documents and Settings\Steven\My Documents\My Music\A
to D\Annie - Anniemal\08 - no easy love.mp3|rated||80||1209841448

If I ask the Custom Scan to continuously write history file, any new
played and rated data are written to the file without any problems. It
is as if certain data has been lost at some point in the last few
weeks- but according to the SC web interface, these ratings are still
present and correct?

I'd appreciate any help.

Version: 7.3 - 24282 @ Thu Dec 11 09:48:27 PST 2008
Trackstat: 2.5

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] 7.3: updates for SaverSwitcher, SyncOptions, PlayLog, and others

2008-12-14 Thread Triode

Philip Meyer;370372 Wrote: 
 is the only problem with Extension Downloader the lack of
 ability to set the location?
 
 It's not the only problem.  I have a lot of plugins installed.  I keep
 on the bleeding edge of development.  One of the problems I see is that
 a lot of plugins have a maxVersion check, and thus would not available
 for installation, even though they work with the latest SC trunk code.
 
 I tweaked the code to just report a warning in the log if maxVersion
 was exceeded.  Other users tweak the install.xml to get them to run. 
 But with Extension Downloader, I guess you don't get an option - you
 can't install them (are they even listed?).
 
 I'd prefer it if maxVersion were only set by plugin developers if they
 know for certain what the max version is.  Even then, the plugin may
 work with limited capability past the max version (some functionality
 may not work, but may not cause SC problems).  I prefer to disable
 plugins (or move plugins out of the plugin folder) only if they cause
 problems.
 

I see that as a plugin author issue, but yes people should only really
set maxVesion if they know it won't work (which Alien does as there are
multiple versions due to api changes)

I'll think about what will be possible with the command line option -
my original thought would not allow you to set it to the location of
the manually installed plugins but I will think about it...

Or are you saying that the ratings in the Complete file is old rating
