Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Extension Downloader: which plugins updated... and more
OK. The message telling me to that there were updated plugins available was on the SBS web gui home page. I *do* have Update all plugins automatcially selected. I need to get something clear. I have no evidence either way that any plugins needed updating. If I did then they probably updated fine and everything worked as exactly as I'd have expected it to... with one exception... there was no indication on the ED page informing me which plugins needed updating (or maybe more correctly, were being updated). I was under thye ipression (form a post form Phil above??) that the plugins needing updates would be highlighted in bold. --- Before posting this I went to the ED page to make sure that I had selected Update all plugins automatically. Despite no notifications anywhere (that I can see) the pop-up window appeared informing me that I needed to restart SBS for the updates to take affect (I have not made any updates since last posting and have restarte at least twice since then. I have done 2 full rescans though). I elected to restart later. Is it worth me turning on the debugging again to trap the restart pop-up for my next visit to the ED page, or is it to late now for useful info? I think if I am the only one receiving oddities like this then it might be because of the Additional third party repositories I have added. I'm a bit dubious the first one of them.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Extension Downloader: which plugins updated... and more
MC - so I think this is working as expected with automatic updates enabled. What is missing is log of what has be updated. We need to add this... If you look at: http://svn.slimdevices.com/slim/vendor/plugins/ You will see the repo.xml and other.xml files have been updated frequently for the latest versions of each of the plugins. If you have any of these installed then your server will check these xml feeds once every 24 hours and download any updates. The only visual clue of this is the needs upgrade message. Would this explain what you are seeing? I think it would be useful to put something in the plugin status page info area to say what was installed at the last restart. At this point we know it has been succefully installed. -- Triode Triode's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69573 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Beta version of SvrPowerControl
My basic rationale: - Specifying where to run (ALL,OTHERS, player name, MAC address) requires appending a : to the first word of the command (e.g. *ALL: power 0*) so KidsPlay can easily identify location specifiers; I've never seen a CLI command with a : in its first word. - Commands are joined with ; because it's what I'm used to. But from a programmer's perspective, it better represents how KidsPlay works. Right now it just fires off the commands in sequence, without waiting for earlier commands to finish, or verifying that earlier commands worked. When I see *do this do that*, looks like a boolean operator (harkens back to Unix shells), almost like you're saying do that shouldn't occur if do this failed. Maybe I should add a new command or syntax extension to tell KidsPlay to wait for one command to finish before executing the next one in the macro. - Words including whitespace (*display My message here*) use regular quotation marks and no URI-escaping so it's easier to use. Of course you're most welcome to grab any code from KidsPlay if you'd like. -- peterw http://www.tux.org/~peterw/ free plugins: http://www.tux.org/~peterw/#slim AllQuiet BlankSaver ContextMenu FuzzyTime KidsPlay KitchenTimer PlayLog PowerCenter/BottleRocket SaverSwitcher SettingsManager SleepFade StatusFirst SyncOptions VolumeLock peterw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2107 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48521 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Check the server.log after the scanning to make sure you don't get any errors. Please note that it is possible the first scan might be a bit slower and possibly also show some errors, because at the moment you have duplicates in your database. This should only happen during the first scanning. It would also be great if you after the initial scan could run this new Custom Scan version an additional time with info level logging on plugin.customscan and look in the server.log file for entries that looks like this: Code: Plugins::CustomScan::Scanner::initTrackScan (1351) Deleted track data after 3.449936 seconds You should have one for Custom Tag module and then another one a bit later for the Mixed Tag scanning module.

I then ran it manually and was successful. Both scans were slower than before, although the second scan was a little faster. With a large library, I always need to plan ahead as to when I will run a scan, so the slower speed really will not be a problem (but of course it was a pain yesterday when I was impatiently waiting to see how the scans turned out!).

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Beta version of SvrPowerControl
Peter Epoch: pardon me if I don't quote your points exactly. I'll try to wade through my thoughts here while the caffeine slowly makes it's way across the blood/brain barrier. It wasn't my intention to duplicate Peter's KidsPlay functionality. I should have known better and kept myself informed on his work in this area. What I was after, really, was to follow up on Danco's desire for custom menu entries and Epoch1970's idea of many months ago for a plugin that could process CLI commands embedded in a playlist (which is a brilliant idea.) Allowing cli requests to be valid 'commands' store-able in SrvrPowerCtrl's prefs also made sense to me in light of the switch in 7.4.x to the 'Restart Squeezebox Server' service restart function now being initiated via a cli request rather than an external script. Anyway, this was supposed to be my first baby steps in that direction. I was hoping that my cli processing code could form the basis for a future plugin that would explore Epoch's cli-requests-in-playlists idea. It sounds like Peter's code in KidsPlay might be better suited to this. My 'cli://' parsing code is a very dumbed-down version of Slim::Plugin::CLI::Plugin::cli_process(). To make my facility 'macro compatible' with KidsPlay, I'd need to duplicate most all of the logic in cli_process()...that or blatantly plagiarize Peter's code (and not for the first time!) Since Peter is so graciously offering this, perhaps this is the tack I should take. In principle, both the 'macro compatibility' and 'easy player names' features appeal to me. My inner lazy programmer is being resistant only because it's worried about the number of changes needed to my underlying code in order to support this. I'll hack away today at trying to keep track of the originating client with command requests and see just how daunting a task this is going to be. Re '' vs ';' as separator: I picked '' simply because it's the conventional in-line command separator in the windows script world...ignoring the fact that many people will see this as a Boolean operator. I was sure that SBS's cli processor would never want to touch anything so ugly. If you're certain that ';' isn't used by SBS's cli anywhere, I'll be glad to make the change. My code certainly isn't testing the success or failure of any particular command before moving on to the next. Re ':' in the first word of a CLI command: of course, MAC addresses include ':'s. I'm using ($client, $arrayRef) = Slim::Control::Stdio::string_to_array($cmd); to create the client and array ref of the cli command. This makes the processing very easy...if no mac address prefaces the cli request, $client remains undef. Moving towards player id aliases means forgoing this simplicity. Then again, looking at string_to_array()'s code shows it to be simplicity itself, itself. Anyway, thank you both very much for the feedback. You've given me much to think about. PS: Sarah Palin voice cues: a number of years ago, I got Frances McDormand to sign my copy of 'Fargo' when she was filming scenes from 'North Country' in New Mexico (ironic, eh?). If what you're after are voice cues in a boreal patois, wouldn't you rather have Marge Gunderson's voice than Sarah Palin's? Palin's voice is known to cause spontaneous cerebral vascular accidents in listeners. -- gharris999 gharris999's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=115 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48521 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

An array of arrays, or, how about simple loop processing? This is how
I'm presently doing it:
Code:
my @commands = split('', $command );
foreach my $cmd (@commands) {
# parse the command
my ($client, $arrayRef) =
Slim::Control::Stdio::string_to_array($cmd);
if (!defined $arrayRef) {
next;
}
$res = Slim::Control::Request::executeRequest($client,
$arrayRef);
}
I'm not regex savvy enough to know offhand what the proper arg for
split would be that would mean: ';' is a token, but not '\;'. But I'm
sure there is one.
A new version of string_to_array could be written easily enough that
could do all your command parsing, carving out clients from aliases, mac
addresses, keywords, etc. In the case of multiple clients, $client
could become an array ref.
I can't confidently say that I know the CLI well enough that I can
foresee all the syntax needs here. And my approach to writing perl code
is pretty heavy handed. There's probably a more elegant way of going
about this.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Music IP Mixer help
Ultraviolet;473538 Wrote: Squeezebox Server is pointed to a single folder C\Squeezecenter Library that contains 30+ shortcuts to music folders on multiple drives--all are local drives/arrays. MiP is pointed to each folder (30+) directly. The folders are located on volumes E:\ and G:\. All songs are analyzed in MiP. Likewise, Squeezebox Server also has all the tracks in the MySQL database. I am completely unable to get MiP info into Squeezebox Server however. Here is my setup: (Of particular note, is that this exact same setup has worked perfectly for over a year until I had to point Squeezebox Server to a folder of shortcuts after I exceeded the 2tb volume limitations on a 32-bit Win XP system.) Ultraviolet, this appears exactly the same as my setup that works, which is as follows: In MIP the Watchfolders are F:\Music and G:\Classical In SqueezeCenter (7.3.4 - 28402) the Music Folder is F:\SqueezeCentre Music F:\SqueezeCentre Music contains two shortcuts, created by right click New Shortcut then following the Create Shortcut gui. They are Classical music from G with a target of G:\Classical and Music from F with a target of F:\Music . In F:\Music are 27 directories of music (why so many? Because each directory refers to the physical location of the CDs and also keeps MP3 and FLAC separate) In G:\Classical are 3 directories. All I can suggest is try deleting and re-creating your shortcuts and re-scan. -- Wirrunna A camel is a racehorse designed by a committee.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] iPeng support thread
ModelCitizen;473385 Wrote: It's taken me a long, long time but I've finally got the iPeng modes. Once understood they work very well indded but pure nirvahna is negated by one seemingly insurmountable problem: It is far too easy to destroy/replace a carefully built up playlist by touching the album art by mistake when meaning to touch the title of an album. Touching the album art replaces the current playlist with the whole album whereas touching the album name takes you to the track listing. Directly playing an album by touching the cover is a very often requested feature. There was a time during beta when it didn't work, you should have seen the comments :-) If you are right handed and hold the iDevice in the right hand whilst using the finger of your left hand to make selections it is extremely easy to touch the album art by mistake. Now this is an interesting observation. I am right-handed myself but I always hold my iPhone with the LEFT hand, even when using it single-handed. Will try to consider this in the future. I tried out iPeng on a group of friends last night. All were right handed and at some point all suffered from this problem (on the bright side they, they all got the modes once I'd explained it to them). Good :-) So, at least for users that choose to play single tracks only my vote is for a touch on the album art to do the same as touching the album title. No way (as said above). Maybe as an option Also from last night, the ability to drag and drop songs within a playlist just ceased to work at some point. Is this a known bug? I can't find any reference to it anywhere. No, didn't hear about that one. Can you give more details? What did you see then? ModelCitizen;473387 Wrote: I'm not not sure I understand what you mean. InfoBrowser (and its plugins already works (and well) on the Touch/Radio. You can find it under Extras. How does it need adapting? Ah... OK, then it uses LUA. This will make it VERY hard to adapt it to iPeng. havoc1;473715 Wrote: 1. In the album view, we get the alphabet on the right side of the screen to let us quickly jump to the relevant letter. But this isn't there on the Artists view. Can you give us quick jump letters on that screen too? Do you have less than 100 artists? If not it _should_ be there. 2. Is there any chance of an incremental search on Napster, so that as you start to type the name of a band the matches come back immediately, rather than having to type the whole thing? I noticed this on the Sonos iphone app demo and thought it would be really useful. Not really. I can't directly search Napster, the Search is a feature of the Napster plugin and that would have to provide this. MeSue;473741 Wrote: Oh, I can answer this... Playlist Manager only works with the classic interface (IR Remote and Boom front panel). It doesn't work with SqueezePlay powered devices, and iPeng is using SqueezePlay menus in some places.

I rather would see the timebar using the whole width of the screen and the shuffle buttons beneath the time bar. It is possible then to position more accurate, and the risk of accidently tapping the shuffle or repeat is less. B.t.w. Wouldn't it be more logical to display the large time indicator above the timeslider? As it works now my finger covers the digits while using the timeseek control I believe there's a ticket for this... - Information about an album in the list. Is this already possible? When browsing the list I'd like to see i.e. what the bitrate is from an album or song. https://trac.penguinlovesmusic.de/trac/ipengnat/ticket/121 Also I encountered several times that the Squeezecenter (7.4) Service stopped when using the time slider. The only way to get it up then is by starting the service manually with the Windows Service Manager (or by computer restart). Hm. That sounds like a server issue. In no way should it do that, you should probably file a bug on bugs.slimdevices.com -- pippin --- see iPeng, the Squeezebox iPhone remote, at penguinlovesmusic.com

Excellent!! --although wake-up at 4AM to Motorhead at 100% might be even better :) Well, that would be naughty of you, adding all those bad cli commands. But that would be my fault, downloading stuff and feeding it blindly to my machine, wouldn't it ? One idea is to have the command visible, with an icon same as an album, so that you can on the fly add cli controls, or check if a command is really suitable. I imagine I would have volume up commands before some songs in some playlists. But that wouldn't be suitable for every player or any time of the day, so same as removing a song, I could remove the cli action. Eventually I suppose some anti-CSRF contraption can be invented, like requesting a unique hash to be added to the cli url (that's heavy, IMHO), or passing through a filter that accepts/rejects cli actions. Perhaps the cli:// must refer only to a package, blessed, signed and all, in the extensions downloader way ? (with a way to self-sign my volume-ups, please.) One thing for sure: if there were a security level, I would disable it. I am the king on my Lan, a nobody outside of it, and I know it. And I will never, ever download a playlist again from you, Peter W. ! (and I'm glad you two show interest in this.

I have a hard time imagining what commands would be safe. Perhaps the handler could look at the URL for the current playlist and default to only accepting cli:// URLs from playlists with file:// URLs referring to the local host (no http addresses, no UNC paths, etc.)? I think it's possible to determine the playlist that's being used. I pushed an updated KidsPlay to my testing area, directory http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/slim7/TESTING/KidsPlay/ and repo URL http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/slim7/repodata-test.xml that - supports \ as an escape char (for escaping and ; -- use \\ to include \ itself - allows a player to be specified by plain MAC (*00:04:20:11:22:33 power 1*) or with the colon that KidsPlay used to insist on (*00:04:20:11:22:33: power 1*) -- and also supports name + :, ALL:, and OTHERS: - has some routines you can grab for getting arrays of arrays -- look for the macro-parsing routines comments before and after -- for getCommands(), makePlayerList(), parseFields(), splitLines(), and getClientByName(). They're not optimized, but they work. Comments before getCommands() explain what the array of arrays looks like. You should be able to pass undef for $client if you don't know the client -- you'll end up with undef for the calling client, and undef for the context client for any command that doesn't specify something with MAC, name, ALL, or OTHERS. Please let me know how that works for you. You'll have to look elsewhere in the code to see how I use the task scheduler API -- look for processCommandFromQueue(), addToQueue(), etc. -- peterw http://www.tux.org/~peterw/ free plugins: http://www.tux.org/~peterw/#slim AllQuiet BlankSaver ContextMenu FuzzyTime KidsPlay KitchenTimer PlayLog PowerCenter/BottleRocket SaverSwitcher SettingsManager SleepFade StatusFirst SyncOptions VolumeLock peterw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2107 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48521 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
