The idea is that information providers should be able to focus on getting the information and shouldn't have to care how and where it is displayed. The Song Info plugin will: - Show the information provided in TrackInfo, ArtistInfo or AlbumInfo menus depending if the provided information is related to a track, artist or album. - Make the information available over CLI/JSON for external applications and applets, for example Moose and the Album Flow applet. - Provide a generic configuration web interface so the information providers doesn't have to create its own settings page if it just want to let the user specify a integer or string parameter. -- 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=76688 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: FindArt plugin beta
In 7.3 a track needed to be playing to search for art. In 7.4 and higher. Because of a programming issue, the album art program needs at least one "player" to be available so if there are no players online then I think it may return the error message. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49245 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: FindArt plugin beta
OK thanks for the reply. I have changed the permissions on my whole music tree and now direct downloading to the folders works. Now I sometimes get the problem that I get told that "No song playing. Cannot search for cover art." This occurs after I click on an album, then a track name, a correct cover comes up, I click save then get the above message. Also may I say it seems odd that you have to choose a song before you get the option to search for art. Surely this is more in the 'album' context than the 'song' context. There may be good reasons for your interface choice though :) -- nickrout nickrout's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1967 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49245 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Adding new root-level folders to SlimServer
For folder browsing, if you want top level folders for music and for audio books, just create a new top-level directory that has only shorcuts/symlinks to the folders you want at the top level. Then point SBS at that for your library. The rest, as has been pointed out, is more difficult. -- nolesrule nolesrule's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9429 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=76815 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Can > anyone offer any suggestions about how I might do this myself? > You can definitely do this with Multi Library/Custom Browse plugins but I think they will use too much memory in your NAS so they are probably not an option. The Music Folder browsing code can be found here: - Classic/Boom/Transporter: Slim/Buttons/BrowseTree.pm - web interface: Slim/Web/Pages/BrowseTree.pm - Touch/Radio/Duet/Controller: Slim/Control/Queries.pm (the musicfolderQuery function) Let's assume that the important thing is to make the "Audiobook" folder available on the top level and it doesn't matter if it's also showed inside "Music Folder". If that's acceptable I think you might be able to create a small plugin that creates a top level menu and launch the standard music folder menu with the directory id as parameter. I haven't looked in detail at the code but I think you can feed the web and Classic/Boom/Transporter interfaces with a "hierarchy" parameter and the Touch/Radio/Duet/Controller interface with a "folder_id" parameter to indicate which directory you like to start with. I think the above mentioned parameters are the unique integer numbers in the database, so you will also have to listen for the "rescan done" event to refresh the menu after a rescan since it might change the id. Finally, it's not worth trying to do this unless you know some programming and are prepared to dig a bit in the Squeezebox Server perl code. The above is obviously no official API so it isn't documented and may stop working in next Squeezebox Server version. As funkstar says, the long term solution for this is the new schema, however if you want to wait for that I suspect you might have to wait a while, I'd personally be surprised if it was implemented this year. I suspect Logitech is going to prioritize features needed for the mass market instead of advanced configuration options like the new schema. -- 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=76815 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Song Info plugin
There is now a new version of the Song Info plugin available with the
changes:
- The information are shown in context menus on artists, albums and
tracks. You can also configure for each information module which
interfaces (jive, player, web) it should appear.
- Added support for possibility to implement information providers as
separate plugin.
Philip, in your FilesViewer plugin you will need to do something like
this:
In initPlugin:
Code:
if(UNIVERSAL::can("Plugins::SongInfo::Plugin","registerInformationModule")) {
Plugins::SongInfo::Plugin::registerInformationModule('filesviewertracktextfiles',{
'name' => 'Files Viewer',
'description' => "This module gets information from text file in the album
directory",
'developedBy' => 'Philip Meyer',
'function' => \&getSongInfoFiles,
'type' => 'text',
'context' => 'track',
'jivemenu' => 1,
'playermenu' => 1,
'webmenu' => 1,
'properties' => [
]
});
}
And implement the getSongInfoFiles function referred to in the above
register call:
Code:
sub getSongInfoFiles {
my $client = shift;
my $callback = shift;
my $errorCallback = shift;
my $callbackParams = shift;
my $track = shift;
my $params = shift;
my @result = ();
# TODO: Implement, read all files in a specific folder, let's just hard code
them now to show the concept
use File::Basename qw(dirname);
my $trackFolder = dirname(Slim::Utils::Misc::pathFromFileURL($track->url));
my $entry = {
'type' => 'text',
'name' => 'filename1.txt',
'text' => 'contents of file1',
};
push @result,$entry;
$entry = {
'type' => 'text',
'name' => 'filename2.txt',
'text' => 'contents of file2',
};
push @result,$entry;
eval {
&{$callback}($client,$callbackParams,\...@result);
};
if( $@ ) {
$log->error("Error calling callback: $@");
}
}
The above is just a sample with two hard coded files, you will need to
implement it so it read files in the directory associated with the
current track or something similar.
