Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: CDplayer plugin
For systems using udev I wrote two scripts which allows to austostart a CD when the CD inserted into the drive. The great thing with udev is, that udev supplies the number of tracks. The first is a very simple rule for udev. It just tells udev to run a script whenever there was a change in the status of the cddrive. create a file named 20-cdrom-media-change.rules in /etc/udev/rules.d/ put the following in the file: Code: KERNEL=="sr?", SUBSYSTEM=="block", ACTION=="change", RUN+="/usr/bin/cd_media_changed.sh" This will tell udev to call the script /usr/bin/cd_media_changed.sh If you have more than one drive, adjust sr? to what your drive used to play music actually is. i.e. sr0 or sr1 or ... The second script will create a playlist and tell the server to use this playlist to play. create a file named cd_media_changed.sh in /usr/bin/ and make it executable. Place the following content into the file and *_adjust_the_settings_to_your_own_needs_as_stated_in_the_code._This_is_important!_*. Code: #! /bin/sh # adjust this to your needs server_ip="127.0.0.1" server_port="9000" # on my qnap this is 9001 # this is the path to your playlistfolder as specified # in the settings of squeezbox server, logitech media server # + the filename of the playlist (name it whatever you want) playlist="/home/squeezebox/playlists/current_cd.m3u" #>> IMPORTANT <<< # commands need to be urlencoded. # use http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/dencoder/ # or replace any = with %3D #& with %26 #/ with %2F # # urlencoded path to playlist playlist_enc="%2Fhome%2Fsqueezebox%2Fplaylists%2Fcurrent_cd.m3u" # urlencoded for p0=playlist&p1=play&p2=/home/squeezebox/playlists/current_cd.m3u cmd_play_enc="p0%3Dplaylist%26p1%3Dplay%26p2%3D"$playlist_enc # urlencoded for p0=playlist&p2=clear cmd_clear_enc="p0%3Dplaylist%26p1%3Dclear" # compute complete url server_url="http://"$server_ip":"$server_port"/status.html?"; # check if cd has been inserted or ejected if [ "$ID_CDROM_MEDIA_CD" == "1" ] then # start new playlistfile textout="#CURTRACK 0\n" textout=$textout"#EXTM3U\n" # create one entry for each track for ((i=1;i<=$ID_CDROM_MEDIA_TRACK_COUNT;i++)) do # write out #EXTURL:cdplay://1 ... textout=$textout"#EXTURL:cdplay://$i\n" # write out #EXTINF:-1,Track 1 ... textout=$textout"#EXTINF:-1,Track $i\n" # write out cdplay://1 ... textout=$textout"cdplay://$i\n" done # write playlist echo -e $textout > $playlist # tell server to use and play the playlist wget -t1 -q -O- $server_url$cmd_play_enc >> /dev/null else # EJECTED #clear playlist - stop playing wget -t1 -q -O- $server_url$cmd_clear_enc >> /dev/null # delete playlist rm $playlist fi Unfortunately I have not found out yet how to tell SB/LMS to display "Track 1","Track 2","" instead of "Unknown Track". On my Squeezeplay it also displays "Track 1 of 12" even if Track 7 is played. If someone has a solution for this, please post it. Have fun.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: CDplayer plugin
I've done some testing. udev does the trick for bluetooth and cd. netstat -tn | grep -e "6600" -e "5002" does it for upnp and airplay.

As far as I understand it, I would have to select viator:// every time a change occours. Or is the plugin running in the background to monitor any changes? Anyway, I still have to find out how to recognize that there is a change. I thought about some shell scripts to detect changes/connections and then simply use the http interface of LMS to change whats played. I find the http interface easier to use (for me, since I use it with tasker) rather than learning Perl.

It seems the > underlying systems make it much harfder than it should be. Latest Arch comes with Bluez5 and I totally agree with you. Some time ago I've tried an older version of Bluez and I've been able to setup sime kind of autopairing which seems to be impossible with Bluez5 (at least I can not find any documentation for this). One has to log into SSH to pair a mobile which makes Bluetooth more or less useless for for a headless player. bpa wrote: > Not sure what you mean by "some client" as each of those use different > subsystems and present different end user interfaces - can you say which > client application can play any / all of these to standard audio ? I will explain the hole project. Some time ago I bought a SB touch which was not used for years. This days I thought to install a soundsystem in my gf's flat. Using a qnap as LMS, the SB touch and a Raspi with Picoplayer. Then I had the "glorious" idea to put the Raspi into a vintage radio as a present to her ;-) Then I had the idea to use an USB CD to make her able to play cds as well. This leads me to the idea to be able to connect a USB stick as well which lead me to the idea to put a HD into this vintage Radio to make this radio the LMS server for the system so I can rid of the QNAP. So if she has such a nice radio it would be nice to be able to allow guests to play from their devices. This leads me to Bluetooth, Airplay and making the radio a UPnP Client as well as beeing able to connect i.e. a iPod nano (my GF has 2 of them) by using line-in. Voila. Thats it. Now, my GF is not really a techie. In fact shes more of the kind using google (on startpage) to find google ;-) So I wanted to have it as easy to use as possible. I wrote some scripts for tasker to make her (and of course me as well) able to controll LMS by using the android. First attempt was just to use tasker with NFC wich turned out not to be practical since one has to unlock the mobile to be able to recognize NFC. Tasker allows to put the actions as widgets on the mobile, so I did this. This is working fine and it's very usefull since we now have a radio alarm controlled by the alarm of the mobile and it mutes the sound when a call is in place. What I have now is a Raspi B with LMS, your great wavin and cd plugins, Bluetooth, Airplay, mpd as UPnP client and line-in as sources. Bluetooth, Airplay, mpd and line-in are mixed into one stream using alsa. This can be played using a favourite with wavin. (It's also possible to select them as individual sources but that's not what I want) This limits the sources one has to handle. Just have to select "External" as source. The next step of evolution is to automatically select "External" as soon as Client connects to the "radio". Line in will be becomes detected by a simple switch whenever the plug is plugged. I think bluetooth possibly can be detected by using udev. Not shure, have to check this. CD for shure can be detected this way. But I have no idea how to check if a client (i.e a guests mobile) connects via Airplay or UPnP (i.e using MPdroid). I thought about periodically to check wether a specific port is in use or not. But as sayed, I have really no idea if this is a usefull aproach.

Hello! bpa wrote: > Why not create a playlist in a file with many tracks say CDDA://1 > CDDA://2 ..CDA://20 Had the same idea after going to bed. I think I will do this. Not the most elegant way but the by far easiest and it's working. At the moment I'm a bit tired of tinkering around to get all the bits and pieces to work. Took me ages to get bluetooth with pulseaudio and line-in from soundcard to work with alsa. (If someone is interested in this, pls contact me, I can post a rough guide and the config files) May I ask you a totally different question? You seem to be much more into Linux than I be (although in IT since 20 Years, I'm just a newbie to Linux with a very steep learning curve). Do you have any idea how to check if some client did connect to Bluetooth (blueZ + pulseaudio), Airplay (Shairport) or UPnP (using mpd as UPnP client)? This would allow me to automatically switch to wavin as Source for LMS.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: CDplayer plugin
Hello! It's me again ;-) This time I don't have such a stupid problem than last time but just a question. I would like to have the CD autostarted when I insert the CD into the player. This is a easy task by using the webinterface it's just calling a url to add and play a favourite (aka a playlist) to the player. But - obviously - this requires a favorite. So my question is: Is there any chance to create a favourite which plays all titles from the cd? Coverart and Artistname/Trackname is not important, it could just show something like "CD" or even the information of the first finding from cddb. Thank you again for your help and spending time.

Sorry for my english, I'm not a native speaker. I will try to make things as clear as possible. I have one Raspberry Pi serving as LMS Server, another Raspberry Pi as Player in RoomA and a Squeezebox Touch as Player in RoomB. RoomA and RoomB are synced. Currently LMS Serves Audio Streams (Radio), mp3 and CD Audio which workes fine. I also want to stream from the LineIn of the soundcard connected to the LMS to the players. As far as I understood that is what WaveIn should be for. Pls correct me if I'm wrong. So the chain should look like this. LAN - WebRadio -\ HDD - mp3 - \- LMS - WLAN - / Room A CD Drive - CD Audio - / \ Room B SoundCard - LineIn -/ I can record from LineIn to a wave file using "arecord -D plughw:1 -f cd test.wav" and I can play this using "aplay -D plughw:1 test.wav". I have created a Favourite named "Line In" with the parameter "wavein:plughw:1" What I have done to produce the logfile in my last post was: - Playing a stream from webradio (http://opml.radiotime.com/Tune.ashx?id=s44255&formats=aac,ogg,mp3,wma,wmvoice&partnerId=16&serial=a7a5d66134588d3135a8bc03f8a096ce) which played fine. - Then I klicked on play on the Favourite "LineIn". - The webradio was terminated and the playlist showed "empty" bpa wrote: > Review the stesp I told you about the log.

LMS is running fine and also the CD-Player Plugin is working fine (after I found out, that I have to add the user running LMS to group "optical"). Thanky very much for this plugin. I can run arecord -D plughw:1 to record audio data and I can play this data. I have created a favourite wavein:plughw:1 but when I click on play just nothing happens. Playlist simply shows "empty". I tried to enable debug in the protocol but the protocol stays more or less empty.
