Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Squeezelite-X

2020-04-01 Thread maggior


I have a new PC and with working from home now I decided to setup a
squeeze player on my PC.  I ran into your application which is really
awesome...thanks for creating this!!

I have one question...I only see very fundamental settings and from
screenshots earlier in the thread it looks like there are configurable
options.  In "Settings" from windows for the app I just see things like
terminate, reset, repair, uninstall, etc.

Where do I gain access to the other options?

Thanks!!

+1 for Orange Squeeze.

Squeezecommander is good, but is not an active project at the moment. 
Orange Squeeze is quite active.  The developer even has a preview
version which he uses to release changes very quickly...some of them
experimental.  Even the preview version works very well...I use it
rather than the main version.

Huh, this looks pretty cool!!  I'm really happy to see this especially

Will this plugin only work with the latest version of LMS?

My experience has been that transcoding to mp3 is turned on via bitrate
limiting will cause small gaps in otherwise gapless files.  I've had
this experience with squeezebox hardware and software players.

I would imagine this transcoding would be similar to something setup in
convert.conf.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Squeeze Display for Android

2012-03-28 Thread maggior

I've installed this on my Xoom WiFi (running ICS) and it won't find any
players.  I suspect this is because I'm not using the default port (I'm
using 9000) and my server is password protected.  I tried specifying the
server as remote and put the port at the end (peter:9001), but I still
get no players found.

Is there a way to get it to work in this configuration?

Thanks!

If you had a reciever that supports AirPlay or device connected to your
receiver that supports airplay, you could use your iOS device (iPad,
iPod, iPhone) to stream to it using the Rhapsody app.

That's the only portable device I can think of that would support your

This is assuming that AirPlay works with apps on the iOS device other
than the built in music player.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Anyone want an Android tablet as now playing screen ?

2012-03-08 Thread maggior

It would be interesting.  I don't necessarily *need* it, but it would be
cool.  For me, being able to do it with google TV (specifically the
Logitech Revue) would be best.  Obviously, that is always connected to
my TV whereas my andriod tablet follows me around the house.

For it to be engaging, I think the screen should have some sort of
animation.  I had an idea (which I was going to do as an exercise to
dip my toe in android development myself) to have a now playing
screen that showed the side view of a turntable platter rotating with a
strobe.  Maybe even show the cartidge drop on the album and slowly move
toward the center as would happen when a real lp is playing.  This
could even be proportional to the length of the track, like a progress
indicator.  The track/album/time information could be displayed on
there too.  When the track would change, there could be some sort of
animation of the album being dropped (like a record changer or just
bing placed on the platter).  Prior to the animation, a record label
could be displayed showing the next track, with length, artist, etc. in
a format like you would see on an lp (or 45).  Taking this further, you
could have options for a more modern scheme where maybe it's a CD juke
box or something.  You could even do a old style jukebox scheme rather
than a turntable.

I think something like that would be really cool rather than a
relatively static now playing screen, especially on a TV.  I would
certainly be rather complicated, but that's what I've envisioned.  I
have coding skills, but I'm not a graphic designer, so I never really
got anywhere with the idea.

2012-03-08 Thread maggior

Yeah, I remember those now-playing screens.  There's something about the
retro look and making our modern devices look like our old ones :-). 
I'm particuarly fond of the retro VU meters for the Touch.

If my Revue was capable of running an SB player app, I think I would
use it as such.  People have looked at that and it doesn't seem like it
will be a reality.  So, no, I don't use it to play music.  Just to see
how well it would work, I fired up Pandora one time and was impressed
with how nice it was to have the cover art and stuff on a big screen.

I have a controller app installed on my revue only because I can - I
don't really use it.

A now-playing screen on the Revue I think would be great for parties.

erland;694799 Wrote: 
 What kind of information do you think people would like to see on it ?
 Would the guests like to interact with it somehow using their own smart
 phones ?

smart phone interaction I think would be strictly a controller
function, in so called party mode.  If a guest queues up a new track, a
notification could be put on the now playing screen.  Maybe the last
track added would persist on the screen.

As far as what should be on the screen, I would say:
- artwork
- track title
- track artist
- progress bar
- previously played track w/info
- upcoming track to be played w/info.

The previous/upcoming track info could included artwork, but be less
prominent on the screen since it's really just there as an fyi.

As far as smartphone interaction went, it would be cool (perhaps in a
geeky sort of way) for the guests to be able to vote thumbs up/thumbs
down on currently playing tracks.  These stats could be put up on the
screen in real time.  After the party, it would be interesting to
collect the data.  If the smart phone app required that the user
register with some sort of name, you could track stats based on the
user.  You could even envision a smart playlist that built the ongoing
playlist based on feedback from the users, much in a way that Pandora
does, but using music from your library.

I'm just thinking out loud with all of this...

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Spotify Premium Plugin (Beta)

2011-08-15 Thread maggior

I updated to 7.5.5 last night and updated to the current version of this
plugin.  Once I did this, I had problems playing Spotify music.  I don't
know whether it was the upgrade to 7.5.5 or the latest plugin.  My
apologies if this is already known info, I didn't want to search
through this huge thread.  

I am running Open SuSE Linux (see my sig).

Anyway, what I found was that everything worked fine unless
squeezeboxserver was stopped and restarted.  I could browse Spotify
music and it would appear to be playing music, but no sound was being
generated.  The log file indicated an error writing to some stream
buffer.

At first, only a reboot of my sysetem helped.  What I found was that
after stopping squeezeboxserver, the no FLAC version of the spotify
daemon was still running.  If I killed that, and then restarted
squeezeboxserver (which would restart the spotify no FLAC daemon),
everything was fine.

The only reason I'm really affected by this is that I start MusicIP
manually, which means I have to restart squeezeboxserver after I boot
my system.

You may ask why did I upgrade to 7.5.5?  Because I'm trying out
Rhapsody again and unless I used mysqueezebox.com, I had to upgrade my
local server.

Given the sound quality, cost, squeezebox support, and portability with

Not your fault Triode - my only hope at this point is that I can get

Any chance that gapless playback will be included when the redesign is
released?  Things have been quiet with iPeng releases after the
playback feature was rolled out.

I'm looking forward to the new updates once you roll them out.

I've put my iPod Touch in my pocket and roamed around the house doing
chores playing my FLAC music library via iPeng's playback capability. 
After hours of use, I did not experience one hiccup or playback glitch
or dropout.  I was impressed.

iPeng does not have the problems the controller had when using some
software releases.  In fairness, playback on the controller is a beta
feature anyway.

It is very nice to be able to just hit the standby button (or whatever
it is called on the top of the iPod Touch) rather than having to go into
settings and put the Touch into airplane mode.  2 nights in a row I've
put my iPod in standby with iPeng running and in the morning my battery
hadn't lost any charge.  What's interesting is I assumed this problem
was an iOS issue and not an iPeng issue.  I'm very happy to see it
fixed!

Do you have an idea on when gapless playback will be implemented?  Or
when the compatability issues with SqueezeCast will be addressed?

Thanks!

I still find that if I minimize iPeng, run squeezecast, get music
playing, then switch back to iPeng, the music fades out and stops when
iPeng comes back up.  Once in this state, I can't get the music playing
again.  I did notice is that this doesn't happen if iPeng wasn't already
running.  So I found to get this to work I have to quit iPeng, switch to
squeezecast, play something, then start iPeng.  This wasn't the case
with the last version of iPeng prior to the introduction of iPeng's
playback.  I have iPeng's playback feature disabled when doing this.

Perhaps this is old news...but just in case.

If I navigate to an artist that only contains one album, when I click
on the artist's name, it jumps past the next screen right to the track
listing for the album.

This isn't too big of a deal, but it is confusing when building up a
playlist - in these cases you have to go back to the artist and add the
artist rather than the album.

Not sure if this is by design or not.

Thanks, that makes sense.  Sounds like it's not an easy problem to solve
unless iOS is changed - or squeezecast is rolled into something like
iPeng.

I'm deducing that FLAC is being played natively - I have no way of know
for certain.  My server is not set to transcode for the player, so that
rules that out.  That leaves trascoding on the iPod by squeezecast. 
It's possible, but if it is capable of trascoding to mp3, why not
decode it and play the lossless data?

Also, the playback is perfectly gapless.  Any FLAC-mp3 transcoding
setups that I've used (including squeezecenter) introduce gaps.

If the squeezecast developer is reading this, perhaps they can confirm
this.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] squeezecast questions

2010-12-09 Thread maggior

I downloaded and installed the app tonight.  It was easy to setup and
connected to my server very easily.  I verified that it does play FLAC
natively and gaplessly!!  I'm very happy with the app.  There is
obviously still some work to be done, but in general it works well!!

Once it is streaming, it's stable.  I found I had to start it playing
from within the squeezecast app and then take over control via iPeng,
otherwise the connection with the server would be lost.  Not a big deal
once you understand that.  Once the stream is going, I can switch albums
very easily.  Pausing and resuming playback seems to loose the server
connection too.

What really impressed me was that while squeezecast was playing, it
didn't skip a beat as I checked my email, facebook, and surfed the
internet with safari.

I look froward to future updates to this app.

 On the Playlists: the On the go playlist is gone, you can now

It's interesting that you can't charge for upgrades.  That doesn't
really motivate developers to continually improve their apps on an
ongoing basis.  The in-app-purchase scenario sounds cumbersome.

Regarding the iPod Touch playlists - thanks for the info on the on the
go playlist.  I guess the current situation is better.  I still have
one question though - how do you play a playlist?  The only option I
see is to shuffle it, which I don't want to do.  And when I do shuffle
it, it only plays from one of the albums I added to the list.  Also, is
there a way to add music to the playlist as it is playing?  The manual
is totally useless in this regard :-(.

I suspect the answer to these questions is no because I notice that
there are a fair number of apps out there for playlist management.

I'm really surprised at how the iPod Touch feels like a 1st gen
product.  Reading about the OS 4.x update, it seems like a mess.  Rapid
battery drain issues seem rampant since the most recent update. 
Hopefully Apple straightens it out sooner rather than later.

Fortunately iPeng runs like a champ despite the OS 4.x issues.  

Thanks!

I've scoured the internet and cannot find anything about this.  The
issue is probably that I'm dense and I'm missing something simple. 
Anybody reading this thread by definition owns and uses an iPod touch,
so I hope somebody here can help.

I'm using a 64 GB iPog Touch 3rd generation running iOS 4.2.1.  For the
life of me I cannot figure out playlists.  First off, I don't see the
on-the-go playlist.  From what I've read online, it should be there
when you go to the playlist screen.  Also, once you create a
playlist, how do you play it?  The only thing I see is a shuffle
icon.  Also, when I play a playlist, it only seems to pick songs from a
single album.

Any help/guidance would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi Pippin -

Yesterday my iPod Touch arrived - I got a great deal on a 3rd gen 64 GB
model :-).  

The first thing I did was download iPeng to it!!  It's is truely as
good as I've read.  Not being used to the Touch interface philosophy,
it took a little getting used to.  But with the tutorials on the device
and experiementation, I was able to figure it out pretty quickly.  By
this evening, I was syncing players and editing playlists with now
trouble.

After playing with iPeng last night and today, I decided I should also
load some music on it too.  I hear it can play mp3s too ;-).

I still like my controller, but having the ability to control my every 
squeezebox from my Touch is a fanstatic convenience.  And all for the
low price of $10!!!

Thanks for a great app!

BTW, the thing that *really* impresses me with iPeng (and the Touch in
general) is how responsive it is.  There is NO sluggishness in the
interface.  I have yet to see a gesture histitate on this device. 
Really amazing.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: New WeatherTime Screensaver adds graphical forecasts

2010-04-27 Thread maggior

Has anybody noticed that when running 7.5.0 and WeatherTime cannot
retrieve the weather that it causes long dropouts (~30 seconds) in the
audio that is being played back?

I noticed this when I first installed 7.5.0 and loaded up this plugin. 
Then the problem went away after I did some other things (clear cache,
uninstall old, install clean, etc.).  Then, last week there was a day
where my ISP was down and the problem came back.  I recalled that when
I last had the problem that my weather wasn't working (? on the
screen), so I disabled the plugin and the problem went away.  Still
hasn't come back after pretty heavy usage.

For now I've disabled the plugin because uninterrupted playback of my
music is more important than having weather on my SB3s.

Has anybody else noted this behavior?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Use remote control to control Linux

2010-01-21 Thread maggior

You can customize a couple of files to modify the behavior of certain IR
codes.  In a subdirectory in the squeezecenter heirarchy called IR, you
will find files with a .map extension and a .ir extension.  If you
create a custom.map file, changes you put in there will override what is
in the default.  Any .ir file you create will show up in the setup
options for a player in the web UI.

If you go into the help in the webui for SC, there are some details on
modifying these files.  I did some of this to make my DirecTV remote
work with my SB3:
http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=73546

To determine what IR codes are being generated, you can boost the
logging level for IR codes to INFO via the web UI.  Each time you press
a key on the remote, an entry will be created in the log file telling
you what IR code was generated.  You can then use this information to
change it's behavior in the .ir and/or .map files.

Hope that helps you out.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Use your DirecTV Remote with your Squeezebox

2010-01-06 Thread maggior

I discovered last night that the remote with my newest DirecTV box is an
RC64.  It looks almost exactly like the RC32.  The only difference
appears to be some of the labelling on the buttons.  I programmed in the
code 20623 in it and it worked just like the RC32.

On another note, in the Custom.map file I disabled the press and hold
functionality for the numeric keys.  I realized after I posted the files
that this isn't necessary.  It's actually a residual change from a
different approach I was taking initially.  I don't personally use the
press and hold 1 to add to favorite 1, but if you do and you use these
files, you'll want to remote the lines that say 1.hold =  dead,
2.hold =  dead, etc.

If any interest is shown in this, I'll update the files in this thread
and I'll be happy to work with anybody that wants it to work a little
differently.  

Cheers!

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Use your DirecTV Remote with your Squeezebox

2010-01-04 Thread maggior

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.

Enjoy!

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] ANNOUNCE: Moose 0.71 (win frontend)

2009-07-14 Thread maggior

The announcement caught my attention today and I thought I'd give Moose
a try.  It is really awesome I have to say.  I was really surprised at
how easy it was to get going in my configuration.  My server is running
on Linux and it password protected and I don't use the default port
address - all of these things were handled well by Moose.

My daughter is 5 and is just starting to learn to read.  She is quite
adept at using a computer already and regularly browses websites like
Disney, Sprout, and Nick Jr.  Seeing the artwork navigation of Moose got
me thinking that this would be a great UI for her to use to select music
on her Boom!  And it is.

To allow her to navigate, all I have to do is select the kiddie genre
so that only the covers from that genre are shown and adjust the size as
appropriate for her.  Fantastic!

The issue is that when Moose is exited, restarted, and the cover view
is gone back to, it reverts back to showing the covers for the entire
library.

It would be nice if changes made in the selected genre in the cover
view persisted. 

Again, an amazing application!

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Upgrade to 7.3.3 broke Squeezeslave

2009-06-30 Thread maggior

I am running OpenSuSE 11.0 for my server and I just upgraded to 7.3.3. 
I too use squeezeslave and I just verified that it is continuing to work
for me. 

The version that I am running is 0.7.5.1-20167

I run with the following comand line options:
-s -r3

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] MusicIP Problem

2008-09-02 Thread maggior

Where the cache goes is dependent on your home directory, which depends
on what user you are logged in as.  The user which starts the daemon
during reboot will not be the same as the user when you are starting it
when you log in.  I got bit by this.

The directory it is in is a hidden directory (.MusicMagic).  This may
be why your are not finding it.  Mine is in /root/.MusicMagic.

I'm using SuSE, so the startup script thing is different.  I log in as
root when I make changes to my system.  I have my startup script setup
to force the home directory to be root when the music IP server is
started: 

export HOME=/root
startproc -u root /usr/MusicIP/MusicMagicMixer/MusicMagicServer start

Looking at the ini file, I guess you can dictate this with settings
there, but you haven't set those either.  I use the method above and it
worked for me.

I also wonder if the NAS is mounted prior to your script running.  That
could be problematic too.

My mmm.ini file is in the same directory that I have the
MusicMagicServer binary (/usr/MusicIP/MusicMagicMixer).  I didn't make
any mods to mine, so perhaps mine isn't in the correct location.  It
might be worth trying to put it in the same directory as the binary.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] MusicIP Problem

2008-09-02 Thread maggior

I understand your frustration.  It's relatively easy to set up, but when
it doesn't work, it is nearly impossible to figure out what is going on.
It's worth it though.  I use the mixer all of the time.  My problem was
related to specifying the user ID for the daemon to start under.

You might want to post your issue to the MusicIP forums.  There is a
developer there (whicken) that is really helpful and knowledgable. 
He's actually posted in these forums too.

Good luck - I wish I was able to help you more.

Hi mavit -

I downloaded your zip file and installed it on my Linux box.  The
plugin is back up and running.

Thanks a bunch!!!  

I noticed that the % chance of precipitation is back.  Nice bonus - I
missed that moving from the Weather Channel based plugin to this new
one based on the WeatherUnderground.

Thanks again!

I'm having the same problem too.  I just went to the website and ensured
that I had the latest version.

Glad I'm not the only person having this problem, though it would be
nice to have it fixed.  I've come to rely on this plugin.

EDIT:  It looks like something definitely changed.  Here are some

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] SuperDateTime no longer working with 7.1 update

 Hi.
 
 I just upgraded to SqueezeCenter 7.1.0 yesterday and SuperDateTime
 plugin stopped working. Error message stated that it is no longer valid
 and that i should install an upgrade.
 
 However, an upgrade is not valid, since i've already installed
 SuperDateTime 5.5.1.
 
 Google found a solution for me. I modified the MaxVersion parameter in
 the plugin install.xml configuration file from 7.0+ to 7.1+.
 
 It works like a charm, but I would like if the developer could release
 a minor plugin update with this change...

I did the same thing.  I use the iTunesUpdate plugin as well and had to
apply the same fix.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Are there alternative web pages for headless MusicIP?

2008-05-30 Thread maggior

Thanks for that.  I found this one before, but I'll give it a try.

I thought there were others that I found.  I seem to recall coming
across a website that talked about how the web management page for the
headless server was not that great, but here are links to greatly
improved ones.

If anybody else has other suggestions, I'm all ears!

Thanks!!

 I thought it was only me that had a problem with Weather time. Last
 night all I got was the Weather Icon and no info. After a long 
 drawn-out search I find they have added a new parameter to the query
 string. if you append link=xoap  to your Id under the plugin settings
 page it works again.

Thanks for this wonderfully simple solution.  You also have to ensure
that there are no spaces at the end of the string.  This prevented it
from working for me the first time.  

This implies that it isn't the enforcement of policy by TWC has messed
up this plugin, but the fact that they added a new parameter to the
interface.

In light of this, does it make sense to redirect the plugin to use
another weather service?  Personally, I'd rather stick with something
that has been working for me for a long time.

Thanks to all for the effort to get this plugin working again!! :-).

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] iTunes update not updating

2007-08-25 Thread maggior

For what it's worth, I figured out my problem.  The plugin uses the full
path name to do the match.  In iTunes, my music appears to be in
g:\music\rock\Beatles..., but my Linux machine where SlimServer is
running, the directory is /media/music/rock/Beatles...  

By doing a global search and replace on /media to g:\, the problem goes
away.

I guess if my share was from the root directory, it wouldn't be an
issue, but that's not how I want my mapping to be set up.  I'll just
have to automate the global search and replace somehow.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] iTunes update not updating

2007-08-24 Thread maggior

I'm having the same problem.  My configuration is that I'm running
SlimServer on a SUSE Linux machine.  Because of this, I'm using the
method of running the Perl script on the Windows machine periodically
to update iTunes.

I don't have the output to post, but in the output of the script
running on Windows, it shows the cadidates for the songs it found in
the iTunes database.  The song that was played is listed as one of the
canidates, yet it fails to match.  Looking at the output, I can't see
why it wouldn't match.  It then concludes that the song wasn't found
and no update is performed.

On my SUSE box, the iTunes_Update.txt file is created in a Samba share
which I access directly on my Windows machine that has iTunes.

Any ideas?  I don't know why this won't work.  I'm using a version of
the plugin that I downloaded last week.

Thanks!
