Is there anyway to have an undo function? Or an autosave current list function before change, with option to revert? I thought about that (long time outstanding bug). The problem is: there is no way to guarantee that this succeeds on the iPeng side. Long playlists can take minutes to load, Squeezebox Server is EXTREMELY slow in processing the current playlist. So what do I do when the playlist isn't complete? Wait a few minutes? So undo would have to reside on the server. One way could be to autosave the current playlist to a file before issuing a command but that, too, could take a few seconds, although I believe Logitech experimented with this for the Touch UI.

That's really not a lot of data for adding/removing single tracks, the full PL only has to be saved for clear. If implementing as a plugin I think you need to save the state after someone has modified the playlist because I don't think there is any way to hook in before a change. However, the end result will be the same: 1. Current playlist is empty 2. Album1 is played to playlist - Save state with playlist based on Album1 3. Album2 is played (playlist clear and album2 added to it) - Save state with playlist based on Album2 I think there might be some cases, at least in Custom Browse, where playing a album actually issues a play command for each track on the album. In that case there will be 12 states to save (one for each track). This scenario was what I was trying to avoid by not saving a new state when a track is added. An added track would just update the previous state. A undo operation in this situation probably want to undo to the playlist before the album was played in one single step. Of course, there are probably other ways to accomplish this too. The reason Custom Browse issues a play command per track is that it can be a filtered menu that just shows some tracks of the albums, for example tracks rated with 4 stars. Anyway, it requires some work but it should be possible to implement for someone that has the time and interest to do it. -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.isaksson.info) (Install my plugins through Extension Downloader) (Developer of 'TrackStat, SQLPlayList, DynamicPlayList, Custom Browse, Custom Scan, Custom Skip, Multi Library, Title Switcher 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=73237 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

In the thread about the Radio architecture (the developers or beta forum) in the beginning there was some discussion about multithreading in LUA. Maybe you have a look there to get some inspiration (though I'm not sure if this might lead to a solution). Thanks. I'll give it a look. Your comments about threading confirmed my suspicions after looking at the lua code for the jive.ui.timer object. I had another thought about having a timer object with a short interval but that won't work either for the same reasons. -- indifference_engine indifference_engine's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=20698 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=66795 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] iPlayer stopped working - hangs on Waiting to sync
Make sure no player is synced. And there lies the key... I have the SB3 synced with SS (for reasons to convoluted to explain) and when I disable syncing, the SB3 works normally with iPlayer. SoftSqueeze (SS), however, still will not connect to an iPlayer stream and this is after it worked normally for a long time. That said, an upgrade from SS 3.7 to 3.8 appears to have fixed the problem and iPlayer streams are playing normally on both SB3 and SS, even when they're synced. So, problem solved though I've no idea how. Could a recent SqueezeBox Server or iPlayer update have introduced an incompatibility..?

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Use your DirecTV Remote with your Squeezebox
I recently purchased a Boom for our bedroom which places an SB3 (aka Classic) and a Boom in the same room. This brings about the problem of controlling one squeezebox and not affecting the other. As many of you are aware, the way to handle this is to configure one of the squeezeboxes to use the JVC DVD player control IR codes. I don't own any universal remotes or JVC DVD players, but I do have DirecTV. The remotes that I have for my boxes are programmable. So, rather than add a remote, I decided to try to get my DirecTV remote to work with my squeezebox. I got something to work that I have found useful. I think others may find this useful too, so I thought I'd post my files. It occurs to me as I write this that this could be useful with Booms as well since it's remote has limited functionality. Before I describe how to set this up, let me explain how the remote is laid out as I've set it up. You will see that it isn't exactly the most intuitive layout. This is largely because many of the buttons on the remote are not active when AV1 or AV2 is selected. Other buttons will only control your TV no matter what mode is selected. For this reason, the volume up/down, channel up/down, mute, and prev buttons don't work when controlling another device, so they couldn't be used here. Here is the mapping of the buttons: DTV.SB Equivalent = PWR.POWER PAUSE...PAUSE RWNDREW REPEAT..VOL Down STOPSTOP NEXTVOL Up FFWDFWD PLAYPLAY EXITBRIGHTNESS MENUNOW_PLAYING ARROW UPARROW UP ARROW RIGHT.ARROW RIGHT ARROW_DOWN..ARROW DOWN ARROW_LEFT..ARROW LEFT SELECT..ADD 1...FAVORITES 2...SLEEP 3...SEARCH 4...BROWSE 5...SHUFFLE 6...REPEAT 7...NOW PLAYING 8...SIZE 9...BRIGHTNESS A quick note on the button names. The REPEAT button is the one in between the rewind and stop buttons. The NEXT button is the one in between the stop and fast forward buttons. Unfortunately, the buttons GUIDE, ACTIVE, LIST, BACK, and INFO are not active on the DTV remote when set to an AV mode. This is why only EXIT and MENU are used in my mapping. The rational behind the number key layout is that the bottom 3 rows of buttons on the SB candy bar remote are mapped to the top 3 rows of number keys on the DTV remote, except for 2. This is where the 0 would be on the candy bar remote. I mapped this to the oddball button of sleep. If you look at the two remotes and examine the mapping, you will see what I mean. I chose to do the number key mapping because I only use the number buttons when performing searches (which is actually rare). Even though I've overridden the functionality here, they will continue to work in this way when in search mode. I have not done any other testing of the number buttons. OK, now for the nitty gritty details. The DTV remote model that I have is the RC32. I believe this to be pretty common. I also am running Linux, so the files are Linux format. If you are a Windows user, these will most likely work. When editing them, use an editor that can edit Linux files. Wordpad can handle this. I am also running 7.3.3 of squeezecenter. I don't know how this will work on the current 7.4.x lines. 1) Program your DTV remote - Slid the AV switch on top to AV1 or AV2 - Press mute and select at the same time and wait for the light to flash 2 times. - enter the code 20623 2) Copy the files from the attached archive (Custom.map and dtv_jvc_dvd.ir) to the directory /usr/share/squeezecenter/IR 3) Using the web UI, go to the settings of the player you wish to control with your DTV remote. Use the dropdown to get to the remote settings. Check the box dtv_jvc_dvd. Uncheck Slim_Devices_Remote and jvc_dvd if you want to control the squeezebox exclusively with the DTV remote. For Remote Button Functions, select custom. 4) Restart squeezecenter with the command /etc/init.d/squeezecetner restart. The remote should now be functional. As a quick test, press the PWR button on the DTV remote with the AV slide switch set to the appropriate setting. This should power your squeezebox on and off. For windows and Mac users, you need to program the DTV remote the same way. Search for the IR directory and put the files there. Start and stop squeezecenter however you normally do for your environment. If you find this useful, great! Let me know if you have any suggestions.
