 Could you add an option to show an icon when a player is in a sync group
 like you do for sleep/repeat/shuffle?

How would that icon look like?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: SqueezeIR - A Generic Infra-Red Remote Control Applet for the Duet's SBC

2009-08-20 Thread indifference_engine

A little bit of interest here which is nice to see!

I'm working on the next version (RC2) which will address some of the
issues people have experienced, namely:
- Text files have been changed to DOS format (CrLf line termination).
- RAW_HEX Protocol renamed to NATIVE to avoid confusion with other
raw hex protocols.
- LIRC Protocol added to enable codes from LIRC to be placed straight
into SqueezeIRData.txt.  This will only cope with some (but probably
most) LIRC commands as LIRC is not really a protocol but rather a
notation for captured codes.
- Slight adjustment to the timing within PAN_NEW to make it a bit more
reliable.
- ChangeLog.txt added to keep track of changes!

There's a few other bits of tidying up I want to do before releasing it
but it shouldn't be too far away...

In the meantime, attached is a DOS formatted version of SqueezeIR.txt
to help chenrikson and Windows users to see what's going on.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] SqueezeScrobbler 1.2.6 - LastFM working again!

2009-08-20 Thread James

Hi all,
pleased to announce a new version of SqueezeScrobbler that restores the
LastFM radio functionality (for now at least). 
Thanks to David Sibai who pointed out what the problem was.

Please note that I have found 'direct streaming' to your player needs
to be disabled for the plugin to work. I do not know why this is, as I
don't think it was required before?

The new version can be downloaded from
https://sourceforge.net/projects/slimscrobbler/files/ and I have updated
the repository at http://slimscrobbler.sourceforge.net/repository.xml so
you can do the update through the plugin manager.

James

 That said, from the LIRC header info, the protocol looks very similar to
 what I have called DENON (compare the header info with

 this:
 
 ROOT ; ACTION ; NAD ; ; ; DENON:135:124:37 ; -DENON:135:124:200

It works!

Thank you for your brilliantly detailed explanation - I actually think
I got some of it :-D

I can now successfully control my NAD receiver, except for the volume
which doesn't react. I have added these commands to SqueezeIRData.txt:


Code:

#LOC; TYPE  ; TITLE ; POPUP_PRESS   ; POPUP_HOLD
; DATA_PRESS; DATA_HOLD
  ROOT  ; ACTION; ON/OFF; ON; OFF   ; 
DENON:135:124:37  ; -DENON:135:124:200
  ROOT  ; ACTION; AUX   ; AUX   ;   ; 
DENON:135:124:155 ;

  ROOT  ; ACTION; Vol-  ; Vol-  ; Vol-  ; 
DENON:135:124:35  ; DENON:135:124:35



ON/OFF, AUX and CD commands work, but not Vol+ and Vol-. Have I done
something wrong ...? The corresponding LIRC codes are 0x11EE and
0x31CE.

Two additional questions:

1) Can I somehow strengthen the level of the IR signal? At the moment,
the SBC works exactly like the native NAD remote in the sense that you
have to point it straight towards the receiver for it to work. It would
be cool if you could adjust the signal strength, but I suspect that the
limitation may be in the IR receiving unit in the receiver ...

2) Is it possible to issue multiple commands with one buttton press,
e.g. make a Turn on and switch to AUX-command?

Thanks for all your work - can't wait to see RC2.

It's possible - the firmware is actually in the DLL and not the

delete the old DLL and reboot before trying the new DLL.

I've just been playing around with it some more, trying out even more

Somewhere along the line it started working again. For the first time
since I got it I managed to tune it into Radio 4.

However, the sound is not good, very hissy and crackly. So I won't be
using it.

I know have the waveinput plugin installed, with a DAB portable plugged

 Thanks for all your work - can't wait to see RC2.

It's great that it's not just me that it works for!
OK, the easy bits first.
1) I've noticed that too but I think it's to do with the width of the
beam rather than the power. I doubt anything can be done about it though
and there's no documentation about increasing the emitter power or
beam-width. It's probably a limitation of the hardware but maybe a
future version of the SBC firmware may allow me to do something...

2) YES! Just put all the commands in seperated by a comma. There's
examples of this in the sample SqueezeIRData.txt file. eg To turn the
player on and select aux you'd put the following into the DATA_PRESS
field:

Code:

DENON:135:124:37,DENON:135:124:155



If the aux command is being sent too soon (eg before the amp has
powered up properly) then you can introduce a delay between the commands
by adding more commas. Each comma represents 200 ms, so for a 1 second
delay it would be:

Code:

DENON:135:124:37,DENON:135:124:155



Regarding problems with the volume, it looks like your maths is wrong. 
I forgot to mention that in the DENON protocol each field is 8-bit so
you must pad the binary with leading zeroes:

Code:

Vol+ = 0x11EE (ignore the EE, it's a checksum)
  0x11  00010001  10001000  136
  
  Vol- = 0x31CE (ignore the CE, it's a checksum)
  0x31 = 00110001  10001100  140



You may want to try prefixing the volume commands in the DATA_HOLD
field with '+' as it might provide a smoother response when holding the
key down. Try it and see. The '+' prefix instructs SqueezeIR to mimic a
true hold of a button, without the prefix it mimics pressing the button
repeatedly every 200ms.  Also, don't forget that you can use the
physical volume keys on the SBC to control the volume by changing the
TYPE field to 'KEY' and the TITLE field to KEY_VOLUME_UP or
KEY_VOLUME_DOWN.  You can also have KEY_VOLUME_MUTE which corresponds to
pressing both volume keys on the SBC simultaneously.

I also forgot to mention (but you must have worked it out) that if you
change the SqueezeIR.txt file then you must restart your SBC for the
changes to take effect.

Version RC2 is not going to be that different from RC1 from a usage
point of view but it will allow people without a maths PhD to enter
(some, probably most) commands from LIRC!

My holy grail is to get the Back key working so you can open a
sub-menu and fire a command to turn something on and then when you go
back it can turn it off again.   Would be good for setup modes, TV guide
etc.  That may be sometime off though as the back key seems to work very
differently to the others and I haven't made any progress figuring it
out.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] iPeng support thread

2009-08-20 Thread AbMagFab

Okay, I got iPeng on my iPhone and I like it - I think?

I use Rhapsody and XM a lot.  I'm finding it difficult to simply pick a
song and play it.  Here's what tends to happen:

1) I click the song and get details, with options to add to library and
such, but no play option

2) I click the song and nothing happens

3) I click the song, and it gets added to the playlist of the current
player, but still doesn't play

4) Sometimes some huge, seemingly random list of songs gets added to my
playlist on the current player

I encounter similar issues with XM.

I'm guessing there's some fundamental thing I'm missing with iPeng,
like a mode of operations or something.  Any help/ideas on what I'm
doing wrong?  Or is iPeng just not well suited to Rhapsody and XM and
other on-line music sources (versus my own MP3/FLAC library)?

Could KidsPlay be used to configure the button to move to the next

then (esp with random playlists) and I can never find the SBC when I
need it!

Actually, that's another idea: make the button do a find handset like

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] mplayer for ReadyNAS NV+ (sparc)?

I've only got AAC - AAC as native, all other AAC entries are disabled

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] mplayer for ReadyNAS NV+ (sparc)?

2009-08-20 Thread bpa

Then you don't have faad and so AAC streams cannot be transcoded. 

I think there was a version of faad built for ReadyNAS sparc but it
looks like it is not bundled as CPU is not fast enough.  

I found this comment in the SC repository
Disable AAC-WAV on sparc, faad is too slow

Erland-- you may already know, but the new context menu behavior of the
Controller does not work in Custom Browse menus. I can still do add next
since they haven't changed the long hold on + behavior, and I can play
(replacing playlist), but currently I don't see any way to add to the
end of a playlist from a custom browse menu.

Could you please elaborate on 'direct streamning'and how to disable this

 Could KidsPlay be used to configure the button to move to the next track
 in the playlist? There's always a dodgy song that pops up now and then
 (esp with random playlists) and I can never find the SBC when I need it!

playlist index +1 should do that. button fwd might also work.

 Actually, that's another idea: make the button do a find handset like
 on DECT phones.  May require a companion SBC applet though.

I think you're right about needing an applet. But you'd also need to
consider the power saving behavior of the Controller; I think its power
savings mode gets it to sleep soundly enough that it cannot be awoken by
a remote system. :-( I don't know if you could sacrifice some battery
life by writing applet code to make it wake up every N minutes to check
if you're looking for it or not.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] KidsPlay: redefine what the SB Receiver button does

2009-08-20 Thread NikolajC

Sounds great. I'm using your excellent syncoptions as well to cancel
sync when players are powered up. Would it be possible to use KidsPlay
to do this:

Assume I only ever use one sync group. I want the receiver button and
the boom button 6 to toggle sync on and off. Is that possible? Thanks in
advance.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: SqueezeIR - A Generic Infra-Red Remote Control Applet for the Duet's SBC

2009-08-20 Thread Pokersut

indifference_engine;450142 Wrote: 
 It's probably a limitation of the hardware but maybe a future version of
 the SBC firmware may allow me to do something...

Well, as long as the original remote behaves the same way, I don't
expect there is much you can do - then NAD would probably have done it.

I have been using Bang  Olufsen equipment for many years, and as far
as I know they operate with higher(?) IR frequencies, which means that
you can control your music system, tv, whatever from almost anywhere, no
matter where you point your remote, so I'm probably just spoiled in that
sense! 

 2) YES! Just put all the commands in seperated by a comma. There's
 examples of this in the sample SqueezeIRData.txt file. eg To turn the
 player on and select aux you'd put the following into the DATA_PRESS
 field:
  
Code:

  DENON:135:124:37,DENON:135:124:155

  

I knew I had seen it somewhere, but somehow I couldn't find it again -
your code works brilliantly (though I had to add a 2 second pause
between the commands).

 Regarding problems with the volume, it looks like your maths is wrong. 
 I forgot to mention that in the DENON protocol each field is 8-bit so
 you must pad the binary with leading zeroes:

Excellent - I didn't know about the 8 bit lenght, but everything works
with the ammended code (and the + sign)!

 Version RC2 is not going to be that different from RC1 from a usage
 point of view but it will allow people without a maths PhD to enter
 (some, probably most) commands from LIRC!

Admittedly, that would have made it somewhat easier for me. Luckily I
had you to guide me :-D

 My holy grail is to get the Back key working so you can open a
 sub-menu and fire a command to turn something on and then when you go
 back it can turn it off again.   Would be good for setup modes, TV guide
 etc.  That may be sometime off though as the back key seems to work very
 differently to the others and I haven't made any progress figuring it
 out.

I wish I could help - but I can't :-(

Thanks for a great app - I'm sure this will be useful to a lot of
people and add even more wow-effect to a lot of SBC's!

That surprises me. I was always under the impression that higher
frequencies were more directional (eg FM radio vs TV vs satellite
signals).  Maybe they just use super high-powered emitters in their
remotes?

That's a long time! My Marantz amp takes ages to produce sound after
being turned on but accepts remote commands almost instantly. Maybe
yours is the same? - I think my pause is around 600ms.

No worries, I'm glad you like it. Incidently, I now have (limited)
support for LIRC data, and I've got the back key working (I think!) but
for some reason it won't do the popups :-( It's a minor niggle so the
next version may be released with that issue still there.

Not without someone doing some extra coding. :-( Sync and unsync aren't
simple preferences, so right now you could only set up KidsPlay to do
one or the other -- either unsync from the sync group (sync -), or
make the other player sync up with what you're playing (sync
otherPlayerMACAddress -- yes, your only choice is to push your
playlist onto the other, not pull its playlist to you). I think the
best fix would be something like the Synchronizer plugin exposing a new
CLI command to let you toggle in/out of a predefined sync group.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Product Announcement - Squeeze Mobile

2009-08-20 Thread iPhone

Found my problem with SC 7.4 Beta. Needed to download 'LAME'
(http://www.rarewares.org/mp3-lame-bundle.php) and put it in the
C:\Program Files\SqueezeCenter\server\bin. It was already in my
Vortexbox SC 7.3.3 on my other server. And if not already set, under
Setting/Advanced/File Types/FLAC, select FLAC-Native, MP3-FLAC/Lame (to
listen to FLAC on Squeezebox and convert FLAC to MP3 for anything
needing Stream MP3). I can now listen over my iPhone to all my FLAC
Files on my SC 7.4 Beta Server now (of course transcoded to MP3).

Now if somebody wants to hear a song from my Server that isn't in MP3
on my iPhone, I just launch Squeeze Mobile and let them listen.

 - Go to select the player, set the speed to 64kbs, then go to artists,
 then press play on an artist,

If you want not to have to set the bandwidth limit each time you
connect, you can do this one time:
- install SettingsManager
- connect with your streaming client (SqueezeMobile)
- go to the SqueezeCenter web interface
- set the bitrate limit to 64kbps, or whatever you like
- open the SettingsManager web UI page
- in the Copy from pulldown, select your streaming client
- click the + to expand Basic SqueezeCenter player configuration
(server)
- select Network: Bitrate Limiting (maxBitrate) and  Network: LAME
Quality Level (lameQuality) (you could probably also leave Basic
SqueezeCenter player configuration (server) collapsed and click the
checkbox next to it to select all the core settings)
- in the Copy to area, select Web Default
- click Apply

Now any new (new IP address) streaming client should be throttled to
the limit you selected. SqueezeMobile itself should be able to do
something like this on its own, and maybe it already does -- the web
site doesn't say, and I don't own any app-compatible iPods to check it
out myself.
